I have a 4 month old pug puppy who goes #1 and #2 almost every time I take him out during the morning, day, and evening. Once it is completely dark outside he is scared and refuses to go into the grass and hides between my legs. I have tried soothing him coming down to his level to show that it is ok. I also have put more lights out in the area where he eliminates, but he is still jumpy and too anxious to do anything other than to run towards the door to get back inside. Then of course he has accidents on the floor inside shortly after. Does anyone have any advice?
