Hi Sally,

I don't envy you going through all that home training at the moment. I think my Siberian Husky was about 4 or 4 and a half months when he finally got the idea that messing inside was a bad idea. I had got my other dog from a rescue at 2 and a half and so had never gone through the house training with him. Everyone kept giving me a stack of useless advice about rubbing their nose in it etc etc. I found the best approach was not to make a massive fuss, but just put him straight outside (completely emotionless) then clear up the mess. Then let him back in and give him his morning biscuit! I sure there are people who will frown on this and it did take me a while to complete the house training -but he hasn't had an accident since!! And he's turned into such a 'chilled'young dog -it certainly hasn't done him any harm. It takes endless patience though!
He also used to eat dog and cat mess, but never to the extent yours obviously are. I kept saying 'Yuk' and pulling him away, so he eventually got the message. I have always picked their dog mess up from the garden straight away, so it only tended to happen on walks.
Anyway I hope the idea that you are not alone is some consulation to you. And good luck with the house training!
