Our rescue Cavachon 1 1/2 yo. (we've had for 2 mos. now) is a wonderful boy, except that we can't get him to consistantly potty outside.
He will go out if we tell him "let's go out"
(we have a doggie door) and sometimes he ventures out on his own, and then sometimes we have to assist him to go out (we go with him, we don't just shove him out the door). He may potty just fine but, he can also just stand outside stiff as a post, or sniff all over and do nothing and then go right back inside and potty. We knew this was going to be an issue because he had been crated for most of his life! The former owner really didn't want him, and he was matted and had never been on a leash when we got him.
We need some advice!!
