Hello Everyone,
My question is this…
I have a 3 month old male pyr. I am a first time owner of a pyr, in the past I have had poodles and rotts. I didn’t know that pyr’s are such sensitive creatures. I usually take “Rex” out to the bathroom once through the night. I have found that when you say “lets go potty” he just looks at me and then lays his head back down to sleep. I know that he has to go because after we are outside he always wets and I do think that asking a pyr puppy to hold it for an entire night (8 hours) is to long.
Well,
If I pull at Rex in order to get him to stand up and go outside he “yelps” So, I find myself sitting down next to him rubbing his tummy and talking with him for a short while. Then he gets up on his own and goes outside.
Do all pyrs require so much attention and coaxing in order to accomplish a task? It seems like I have to hug Rex a lot and tell him that his mother loves him. In fact he seems to seek out human contact. This is unlike any other breed I have ever had before.
