Buy a Kong and fill it with peanut butter and throw it outside. He needs to feel safer outside on his own.
Does one of your parents take him outside to piss in the middle of the night? Dogs form habits. Sometimes you have to break those habits quickly before they become problematic.
I'll fill a Kong with peanut butter stat.
He normally goes out by himself at night through his door, unless my mum is not home. If he barks at me tonight, I will get up and take him outside.
Thanks for your advice!!
Good luck mate. ๐ค
Thanks. He took one look at the Kong and a single lick. Maybe I'll try a plate instead, because he's never been a fan of the Kong. He loves peanut butter though.
Don't give him the Kong inside. Put some peanut butter around the opening, give him a lick and then throw it outside with him. If that doesn't work then try the plate.
The Kong is outside. The plate is now outside. He doesn't want to touch either. Will try again later.
Your dog is a little shit.
He is.
He would lick the peanut butter off my finger but not the bowl or the Kong. I put my finger in the bowl as well, forget it.
