Hi everyone, I've got a 6-month-old male Jack Russell and even though time is moving on, he's still not house-trained. He goes out at least three times a day and I have a little garden where he does his business when he's outside; however, when he's in the house with us, he still goes inside.
At night, he sleeps in a crate (as he gets into too much mischief otherwise) but he even poos in there. What I don't understand is that I've read that dogs have defined areas for sleeping, so why on earth is he pooing in his own bed?
To try and house-train him, I've tried telling him off when he wees or poos in the house, saying "no, that's bad!". When he goes outside, I make a massive fuss of him so he knows it's a good thing, but it hasn't changed anything. I've even tried rubbing his nose in it and scolding him, but he still doesn't get it. I'm at my wits' end.
