Can seem to potty train my pom.

Question
My pom is 1 1/2 yr old male and I'm having problems getting him to hold his urine.  He always uses the bathroom on my carpet after I have already taken him for a walk.  When I leave for work and come home he has urinated on my carpet. I also am having problems with him eating paper and chewing the walls.  please help me.

Answer
Try taking him out, go for a walk for about 20 minutes or more and then come back in then go right back out.  Scold for peeing in the house and immediately take outside.  Rubbing his nose in it will only confuse him.  You have to catch him in the act and scold.  Maybe have a piddle pad near the door you want him to go out so that he can get sued to going near the door and then work it so that when you see him going for that you can let him out.

There are lots of helpful Pom links on my sites links page. :o)

Best of luck.
