We recently welcomed a 6 month of Frenchie into our home and he is honestly a joy OTHER THAN the toilet training. He wasnāt used to walks in his old home so doesnāt pee or poo while on a walk and didnāt wee while on the lead at all and only went to the toilet in their garden. Where we live he needs to be on a lead to go out as itās not secure and donāt want to risk him bolting. We are getting there in the day with little to no accidents while popping out for quick business breaks on the lead but as soon as it gets dark, nothing. I was outside with him tonight trying to get him to go before bed for an hour and a half and he did nothing but stare at every little noise and light. I came back in and he immediately went to pee on the carpet so my Husband stopped him quick sharp and took him out and he still didnāt go. We are trying so hard to keep calm and are just constantly trying and going to get him to go outside in the dark but are facing the same issue every night. Weāve taken him back to basics taking him out regularly after eating, after sleeping and play etc because of the lack of routine in his last home and like I said the day is getting there but the nighttime part feels like itāll never resolve. Iāve seen people say about crate training but we simply donāt have room for a crate so thatās not an option. Help! Please! Itās making us feel so useless and no one seems to know what to do.
