I have an 11 week old Alaskan malamute that I got at 9 weeks and potty training has been very rough. The first few days I was exhausted and got him going on the pad most of the times but for the last week and a half we’ve been having extremely cold weather here in Minnesota and haven’t been able to stay out long enough for him to actually go. I work a good amount but I still would come home and take him out for about 10-15 minutes at a time (well below negative temperature) and he would pee sometimes but in the 4 days I’ve actually deemed warm enough to try he gets too distracted and just doesn’t go. I’ve tried standing in one place not making it fun but even car/ wind noises are enough to get his attention. As it gets warmer I can definitely stay outside longer untill he gets the idea but I just want to know if you guys have tricks to help a adhd dog go number 2 quicker so I can give positive reinforcements. Only time I’ve ever corrected him with a timeout is when he climbed on my sofa and went potty there.
