My puppy won't go outside to use the bathroom how can i get him trained to quit poop'n in the house?

Answer 1

Most dogs give off signs. They will sniff a spot and circle. You can watch for tell-tale behavior like that, and immediatly scoop up your dog and take her outside to "do the deed". Each time you go outside, take her to the same spot and use a code word like, "Go potty!" when you want her to us the bathroom. Gently pet her and praise her in a normal tone when she goes outide.

I hope this helps you. I was so unsure when I got my dog...I read all the books and watched all the DVDs and bought all the best products. I can't imagine when I have kids!

When she does use the bathroom where you don't want her to, don't rub her nose in it or anything else like that. Rubbing her nose in poop can cause infections, especially if she has tapeworms or something like that. Just wipe up the spot and make sure (this is very important!) that you use a pet spot cleaner. You can buy the best stuff on the market at PetSmart or SuperPetz. A less effective brand (but it still works) is available at Wal-Mart. If you only wiped up the spot, your dog will go back to that spot and smell her "target", and decide that's where she's supposed to go next time. The cleaner removes all the doggy scent from your floors and furniture, so the puppy can't smell it, and therefore, it isn't a choice potty spot.

If you must leave your dog alone during the day, you may want to crate train or paper train your dog, at least for a little while. They're both extremely effective until your dog is housetrained.

Also, you could put your dog on a schedule to housetrain her. When I first got my Rotti-Shepard pup, I would take him out every 20 minutes. Most of the time, he wouldn't do anything, but it wasn't the point. It got him used to the idea that outside was where that happened.

You also may need to get up during the night and take her out. My dog is 6 months old and now goes outside every two hours during the day and every four hours at night. He is housetrained, though, so I can tell you that this works.

A puppy will need to relieve herself after playing, eating, sleeping or napping, or any other activity that takes her mind away from the task at hand. I would take my puppy out right after eating, drinking water, playing, sleeping, or just lying around. As soon as he would move, we would go outside.

Limiting your dog's water intake is also a possibility. It may just be that she is drinking too much water and her body can't use it all. Dogs should be provided fresh water with every meal, after playtime and sleeping, except at night. That wouldn't be a good idea. You're dog will not die of thirst or anything like

Dilligence and consistency are the two biggest factors in swift potty training of a puppy. The best way I've found to house break a puppy is to put it on a leash every hour and take it outside to the same spot in the yard and stand in that spot and dont walk anyplace just let the puppy in the same circle around you. As soon as it goes tell it "good boy/girl" then take it in the house. If the puppy has an accident in the house you should soak or pick up the mess and place the papertowels with the mess out in the "potty area" outside (So they associate the smell of their outputs with the potty area outside). If you catch the puppy in the act of pottying in the house you should scream and grab them up and take them and leash outside and walk them in their potty area until they finish. Do NOT take the puppy outside for anything but to use the bathroom until they are completely housebroken (not for walks or to play). That way they will associate outside with pottying only.I have used this method with every puppy I've had and it's proven the fastest (usually within a week or two) for every size and breed I've had. All my dogs are very well housebroken and refuse to use the potty in the house. I NEVER have spanked them or shoved their noses in any accident either. Best of luck to you and your pup!

Try puppy training pads they work great you place them where ever the dog uses the bathroom the most when he uses the pad throw it out and place another down immediately. When he get used to going on the pad start placing the pad closer to the door and eventually outside then just remove the pad altogether it work great for my pup.

Answer 4

Training a puppy takes time and repetition. Try setting a timer and take it out every hour. If you notice that the dog does his thing at a certain time or after certain events like eating or waking up make it a point to take it out at those times. When you take the dog out you have to go out with it. Have patience, wait for it to do what you want it to do then give it lots of positive attention. Tell it how smart it is what a good boy it is and even give it a treat. Dogs just want to please us. Once it knows what you want it will do it's best to give you what you want. Good luck

Answer 5

You can always try crate training, especially at night. Dogs usually won't go in their own sleeping area since they'd have to lay in it, so they'll hold it until morning when you take them out. Eventually, they'll learn that outside is where they're supposed to go.

Make sure never to yell at the dog when you catch him going in the house. He'll just learn not to go in front of you.

Answer 6

Take out your puppy frequetly. their bladder is tiny and they dont have much control when little. take your puppy outside and watch until your puppy poops/pees and when he does, say "Good boy!!" with enthusiasm. When your puppy poops/pees in the house, dont punish the puppy, just take this as a hint to take him out more. When your puppy sees that you are happy when he uses it outside, he will learn to use it outside and will develop to hold it longer. but as a puppy, he should be taken out every 3-4 hours and 30 minutes after eating.

Answer 9

I don't know what it's called but there's a liquid you can buy, it comes in a small jar with an eyedropper. It has a scent that dogs are attracted to. I used it once and let my Alaskan Malamute smell it, and he was trained for life.

Answer 10

Patience and the word "no" works wonders. Don't be mean about it or you might scare him. Let him know what he's doing wrong, and show him the right place to do it. And don't let him see you clean up the mess, or he will think it's ok to do it again. And also, use one specific word or phrase to indicate "potty" such as "go potty" or "go outside".

Answer 11

Shut him in the a small room at night and when you are not home and put whatever you want him to go on if he has to on the floor. Once you get home or up take him out immediately.
