I couldn't reply on the post, tried several times but because I was trying to reply to you, it kept saying it wouldn't submit it. Inappropriate elements.
So I have had to write it here instead as a new post. Copied and pasted of what I wrote.
Hi Joanne. Thank you so much for responding. It means a lot.
You are so right. I did realize what the breeder had done with the toileting, I knew about it before we had him and I was very concerned then. I knew that this would confuse him and that we'd have a battle. Though I didn't think it would be this much.
I did write it wrongly. Yes, we reward him straight away when he has gone outside. Praise and a treat (though he then thinks it is a game!)
It has been less than a week, you are right. the sleeping side, one could sleep downstairs but it would have to be the sofa and I did that last night and it wasn't a good night's rest.
Our previous dog I nursed when he got ill for a year. I suffered extreme sleep deprivation that made me ill in the end, it was a terrible time, but I did it all out of love.
The zoomies happen after he gets up, so I have no idea really. You'd think he wouldn't be tired then. But he gets them later in the day too.
The breeder isn't a professional breeder. He made lots of mistakes. And I think he would refuse to take him back.
Thank you so much for the links. I will read them.
I really really hope we can get through the next few weeks.
Thank you again.
