[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try to empathize. I can't stand many aspects of parenting a toddler but then I remind myself she is an innocent, small being who just wants to be loved, and it humbles me and gives me perspective. For the day-to-day stuff that grinds me down, I try to "outsource" as this forum puts it.[/quote]

Toddlers are frustrating but they are like that for 2-3 years max and get taught and learn how to grow up. I am struggling so much with a dog that indignantly will not go to the bathroom outside because he wants to sleep with us. He has no health issues, just separation anxiety. We even built him a platform at the end of our bed in hopes he will feel close enough to us and stop pissing all over the house at night but to no avail. Diapers it is, for a 6 year old dog. I’m at an absolute loss and cannot find it in my heart to not be so angry. [/quote]

Crate. Train. Your. Dog.

Seriously.

Why the fsck do some of you let your dogs piss "all over the house"?! Cut off his water intake around 6, take him out for "last call" at 9, and crate him overnight. Puppies can handle this. That your 6-year old dog doesn't indicates a tragic lack of training doggie diapers aren't going to fix.

The crate works because dogs instinctively don't want to mess in their dens. Make sure it's only big enough for the dog to turn around and lie down, not so big that he can mess in it and escape to the other side. Problem should be solved in under a week.
