I have two shitzus and even though they're bastards I love em. The eldest of the two, Buddy is calm, pretty well trained but still has a habit to chew any and all toilet paper he finds.
My other dog, Fenrir, is a little demon from hell but he shows the most traits of my old dog, Gizmo so I tend to give him more attention. He likes to chew walls and sleep on my chest.
As for the pooping thing. There are puppy mats that you can buy for like 10 bucks. Some come scented to help train the dog to piss and shit there. Another thing is a spray. Now, I used the spray back in the day on Gizmo and he was trained after 2 days. I haven't been able to find anymore.
When training dogs I found it easier if you use a stern voice and ZERO force/violence. I yell at my dogs when they do something wrong and they know they fucked up. Or even when training them to go outside. Now, I just open the door and they go piss/shit and come back. They're very young too. Buddy is like 8 months and Fenrir is only 5 months.
If you don't want them getting into a part of the house do what people said, Buy a little fence. I did to keep them from shitting upstairs and when I take it down they never go up there(Unless I'm up there). Dogs are EXTREMELY smart and pick up everything you teach them. It just depends on how you teach them. Treat them like you would a retarded baby. Slow, easy, and with small words.
Heh Fenrir.
The first Dog is "Bruce".... a.k.a.:
- Bruce Doggie Dawwg
- Dung'nn Dung'nn (like saying the letter N from you're throat)
- Tootoo
- Toong'nn'Toong'nn (You need attempt to overlap the 2 symbols in order for it to sound right. Other words say it fast.
And sometimes the names randomly spliced. He responds to all his nicknames lol.
Second Dog is "Sally Muffin". Yes my Roommate is Homosexual. I don't know what Sally's names will evolve into. It depends on the warmth and disgust i humorously find in her fresh shits.
