I Need Some Help...

[Eggsnham]

[Insert mental health joke here.]

Seriously though, I'm going insane. I have to watch my already hyperactive dog in addition to a hyperactive pitbull... who hasn't been housebroken yet.

Currently, I'm barricaded in the kitchen with Puppy #2 (the incontinent pitbull) while Puppy #1 tries desperately to get into the kitchen to wrestle with everybody. Thankfully, at this moment, both dogs seem to be wearing themselves out and may soon take a nap for a little while.

I plan to use this time to devise a strategy.

Here are my options:

1. Stay in the kitchen, keeping the dogs separated as necessary. This is beneficial in that the kitchen's linoleum floors are easy to clean up should Puppy #2 decide that she needs to clear her bladder/bowels. Which she never does when I take her out because it's apparently more fun to watch humans wiping shit off of the floor than to just poop on the lawn.

2. Take my chances and let the two dogs screw around in the living room. This has the benefit of wearing the doggies down faster so that they'll take longer naps. Unfortunately, it also adds the risk that Puppy #2 will decide to make me rage by pissing or shitting on the hardwood floor.

3. Alternatively, I could just kill myself.

Or one of you could do it for me.

Kill me! Please...

Wait.. If your avatar lambs? ... I can't shoot lambs! D:

OT: Is hardwood floor really harder to clean than linoleum? Though cleaning shit off either is gonna be gross. :/

Do you have a garden (As in a fenced one around the back)? If so, I'd suggest letting the dogs just run around there for ages together until they're tired out. If the weathers nice, you can always sit out with them, and leave a water bowl out there so they don't get thirsty!

Well, from what I understand, hardwood floors absorb liquid so it becomes super difficult to get the smell out.

As for the garden thing, no. I do let the dogs out regularly to play around outside and in a futile attempt to get the puppy I'm watching to "heed nature's call".

If you have a dog crate, then dogs are understandably reluctant to poop where they sleep, so putting dog #2 in there will likely stop the incontinence pretty quick. Also, at least with my dogs, if you put one in a crate and lock them in a room with nothing to chew on or tear up, then they usually get bored and nap all day.

Hadrwood is, from my experience, a very expensive thing and you do not want dog piss or shiton it, keep them in the kitchen if possible as it's easier to clean, maybe taking them outside every hour or two to do what they do.

Not a dog person by the way just seems common sense, either way is gonna suck but the short term suffering of cleaning the linoleum is better than your hardwood floor stinking of dog shit.

Get a few more puppies and start a puppy UN. They will spend all day debating canine rights and trade embargoes, tiring themselves out and improving the quality of life for puppies across the globe.

I've only ever had one dog so I'm not sure on multi-dog tactics, but tiring those bastards out can't hurt. Go play outside for a while and get them to do a lot of running, play fetch or chase the homeless. If you drain their energy then both you and they will be happy.

You mentioned a lawn, so go let them be mental in the garden? Then is doesn't matter if the second puppy is incontinent.

I would also siggest taking them outside.
My puppy seemed to be easy to tame after taking him outside.
