Jessie L <3’s Pugs asked:
My spelling should be better on this question.
I have already asked this but this is on how to help me + my pug. my mom took away my jack russell because he wasnt trained at 10 weeks, + she made me do chores instead of walking him so she said if he pooped one more time he was gone. Well he did, + my mom has given him to a friend, I miss him soo much and feel terrible, at first i blamed my mom now I am thinking is it my fault? i did everything i could in the time she gave me but now its too late + it hurts so bad. My pug is also wanting him but my mom doesn’t care. any way we could feel better, or how i could show my mom i can do it? i trained my pug i have had him for over 2 years. Thank yo for your help

Well, I don’t know the whole story. I do know that puppys can’t ‘hold it’ for long periods of time at 10 weeks. Thats like asking a two year old to have no accidents.
he wasn’t trained at 10weeks!! are you kidding!!
my dogs are 6 months and they will still *** in the house! not very often but when they can’t be bothered going outside in the cold.
You really need to talk to your mum.
Some dogs it can take months or even a year to train for anything!
10 weeks is way to young to expect a puppy to be toilet trained. Although he may be learning, he will still have his accidents.
Its not your fault for not training him. He is a puppy! they have accidents because they can;t control there bladder yet.
SPEAK TO YOUR MUM! ask your vet for some information about training puppies or your dog trainer, and give it to your mum. She needs to realise that having a puppy has big reponsibilites and that YOU were doing the right by training and playing with it.
If you trained your pug then your mum should know what your able to do. And your pug may be wondering where the puppy is too. Some dogs can become stressed and upset because of it.
Your mum is in the wrong here.
I’m so sorry Jess, I know you miss your dog but you have to shape up. When you get old enough, move out and get your own place and you won’t have to answer to anybody.
it seems like your mom’s just coming up with stuff and manipulating everything so that she could get rid of the dog.
besides IT’S 10 WEEKS OLD. it’s just a little puppy, it’ll grow up. keep an eye on it and when it poops again just yell at really loud.
if all else fails just cry and beg and you’ll probably get it back
good luck
my mother almost gave away my lab-chow mix for the same reason. i fixed it by tying him to a tree (on a long rope) for the majority of the day for about a month. he got used to going outside and it was fixed. if the friend doesn’t live too far away, try to work out an agreement to get to train the puppy for the friend. or maybe dogsit. if you can train him then maybe you get him back. hopefully she’ll take that deal.
if she wants you to do chores, tell her you’ll leash him to you so you know when he needs to go out. then you can do chores and walk him when you take out the trash.
also, puppies have 0 potty control and at 10 weeks, she shouldn’t expect anything. ESPECIALLY from a small dog. most of them won’t be housetrained for another month or so after that. above all, you didn’t do anything wrong. it IS her fault because she didn’t let you care for him properly. if the dog says he wants to go out and she doesn’t let him and he poops on the floor, who else’s fault is it?
i can’t tell you what to do about missing him. i have three dogs total, and losing any of them would probably kill me.
if all else fails, go into a “sadness coma”. just act really depressed and stuff. cry every once in a while and lower your smile quota. supposedly it’s a parent’s worst nightmare to see their kid that sad and its worked for me. don’t be bad enough to require therapy, but just stir a little dark cloud into every moment and maybe she’ll feel bad and rethink her decision.
i really hope this helps. there’s nothing worse than losing your dog.
