Hey all,

I have a Pembroke Welsh Corgi pup who is 4 months old: sephiroth764/Friends/Corgi - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Anyways, here's the scoop. I live in an apartment, on the second floor. Before, when he had to poo / pee, he would nip at my foot, and I would take him out to the front yard, where there's a gate and a small area to run around in. He would almost always use the restroom out there in the front yard, and I would do my best to clean it up and throw it in the dumpster. So, Apartment #2 from the first floor complained to the landlord about the poo and that their kids (Probably like 5+ of them since they're Mexican) play out there and it smells bad, etc etc. So, the landlord put a lock on the front yard and we can't use it anymore at all. Now, Corgi is in an awkward position because he was used to just going outside comfortably on his own in the front yard. So, he nips at my heels and I take him outside on the leash, but he's uncomfortable on the sidewalk and doesn't use the restroom. So, he just handles his business in the house now and I decided to get a doggy litter box for him. So I bring the litter box home today, and what does he do? He eats the litter itself and pays no attention to it otherwise, still handling his business on the carpet. I've read everything online about how to train your puppy, but 90% of it all expects you to be able to see your puppy actually pooing and then placing him into the litterbox. Whenever I place him in there, he just crawls out. I also put in a paper towel with his urine on it and put it in there so maybe he'll take the hint (I read online that it helps). But as of right now, he still poos and pees on the carpet, instead of using the box. Any suggestions?
