i bought a 4 month old bulldog 2 weeks ago and while she learned on her first day here where to defecate, she simply refuses to pee where i want her to. it has also become apparent to me that she prefers to pee on a surface other than the concrete patio, which is her designated elimination area. after one such accident inside (on tile floors) i mopped up with paper and put them outside where she could go and smell them. she proceeded to eat the paper.
today, she took a cardboard box (her preferred toy) outside, peed on it, then tore it to hell, before peeing on it again. she has soiled the couch, her bedding (even when she had the option of going away from her bed to pee, she soiled the bed instead), towels, bathmat, doormat and rug. also when i see her peeing inside, i dont scold her, but i try to make a noise to distract her and stop her from peeing so i can bring her outside, she doesnt stop peeing, and has never ever finished outside.
she has also never peed out of submission inside, just by sheer choice. any help is greatly appreciated. thanks-
