Leaving dogs alone too long can result in behavioral problems, including chewing and inappropriate toilet habits.   

Our dog used to look at us angrily and ‘pee wrathfully’ whenever she was particularly displeased, which fortunately was not too often! 

Housetraining puppy or new dog can be trying at times, and patience is a virtue in this case.  As you continue with the routine, your hard work will pay off with a well trained puppy or dog. 

One final piece of advice is that there is such a thing as doggie diapers.  There are belly bands for the male and bloomers for the female, which do double duty as sanitary bloomers if you have not spayed your pet. These are good if you are really houseproud, or want to travel with your dog and are afraid of accidents. 

They are ideal for the older dog who might have some leakage problems-after all, they make Poise pads and Depends diapers for adult humans, don’t they? 

So again, patience and tolerance are the watch words. Your pet will more than make up for the inconvenience with love and affection.
