I had better luck with my male. Bought him at 2 yrs after spending most of his life as an outside dog either running loose or at the end of a chain. BUT he was housebroke and crate trained as a pup. He just turned 4 and has never had an accident in the house. The female was another story. She was a yr old when I got her and afraid to even come in the house. When I finally convinced her it was okay to be in the house, she must have figured then it must be okay to relieve myself in the house, too. The first time I scolded her for messing in the house the poor girl cowered with a look of fear in her eyes I had never seen in a dog before. That's why I figured she must have been abused. So had to housebreak her using only positive reinforcement. Took lots and lots and lots of time and patience. Most of the trained dogs live in kennels so was wondering what I will be in for next time around.
