My boyfriend has a 1 year old American Eskimo Husky that still has frequent accidents in the house. He's had the puppy, named Hank, since he was 7 weeks old. They'll take Hank out and leave him outside with their other dog, Max, for an hour in this large enclosed area of the yard. Sometimes he'll have an accident as soon as 10 minutes after coming in. I have noticed that while he is in his crate, he will be able to hold it. (I know animals don't like messing in their bed) Hank is taken out on a pretty regular and frequent schedule too. When he has an accident, they usually tell him, "Bad Hank! What's this?" and Hank puts his ears down and knows he's done wrong. My boyfriend's parents have threatened to get rid of him if he keeps having accidents, and I really don't want to see that happen. (although, I think it may be an empty threat, but just in case... )
Does anyone think there is something medically wrong with Hank? Any other advice/tips? I had the same type of dog a long time ago and never had any problems.
