I am new to this and wanted to ask some questions. I am a vet tech that just saved a 2 year old male Rat Terrier. The family said it was fully housetrianed, good with kids and other dogs. I brought him home last night, he did lots of submissive peeing. He also had a couple accidents in the morning and here at my work today he has had several!!!! He has been outside once an hour. Also, we had him in a crate at my house when we let my other two bigger dogs out and the rat was growling etc at them. I am for one scared to introduce them now for fear of fighting, I am scared this dog is not housetrained even though I was told he was and I am scared of the submissive peeing. He seems very sweet. Could it just be that he is sensitive to a new enviroment? I can't have him peeing all over my new house. My husband will kill me. I work with animals daily but i wanted a small, older, loving, potty trained dog. any advice or ideas? |
