how do i train a dog not to go in the house?

Question

7 week old puppie will not stop going in the house

Answer 1

he wants to go in the house just like you would if you were him
why would you get a puppy if you won't let it in the house

Answer 2

Bring it outside after it eats and drinks and then praise it when it goes. If it does go in the house just simply clean up the spot right away. If you see it doing it inside tell it no in a stern voice then clean up the spot. It may take a while but it will learn not to go in time. Remember it is still a puppy. Don't forget to take it on daily walks or let it in a fenced in yard or an open yard with a chain in the morning afternoon and evening. Good luck fellow dog owner!

Answer 3

At 7 weeks, his/her bladder is not able to really hold anything in! A dog should not even begin training for outdoor potty until it is at least 14 weeks! Geesh! DId you even READ a book before adopting a puppy. Maybe a puppy isn't the right thing for you? Maybe a gold fish?

Answer 4

It takes nothing more than patience. Some dogs are just a little harder to train than others. But most dogs will learn well before they are a year old. Just remember a dog wants nothing more than to make you happy. Don't be mean to the dog when they are little like yours. After you feed them, wait a few minutes,like ten, and take them outside. Wait until they go, and then heap on the praise. If you have to leave the dog alone, line a cage with papers. Take them out as soon as you take them out of the cage.

Answer 5

let the puppy out often, think about the side of his bladder! also, do not reprimand him for going in the house because he has no idea what hes being yelled at for UNLESS hes IN the act, but dont go overboard. a strict "No!" and try to pick him up and take him outside real quick will suffice. Also, if he holds it in and goes when you take him outside, give him a small treat when he comes back inside, as positive reinforcement works best. If you cannot watch him constantly, he needs to be in a crate during the times when he cannot be supervised. He will not go in the crate unless he ABSOLUTELY cannot hold it in because dogs do not like to sit in their own urine/feces, even though they do like to be smelly! Dogs just don't like to mess up their bed/small living quarters.

In regards to the above answer, dogs need to start being trained from as young as you get them, otherwise they form habits. I've read books about puppies and training also.

Answer 6

This puppy isn't even two months old, so it won't hold it's bladder longer than 1 to 2 hours at a time. Don't scream or smack the pup when it urinates or defecates in the house. Get a book on HOUSETRAINING, get ready to draw on your patience, committment and consistency because that's what it's gonna take.

Answer 7

It took us about a month to train our male dog not to go in the house. We had to stand out side with him until he would go. We have had more problems with Females than males. You are spoused to tell the dog where to go. every time it does go in the house tap its butt and say no really loud. Another way we used is when it is starting to pee in the house just start yelling get out side and scare it and it will stop and see what you are yelling at. when it goes out side just tell it your a good dog and give it a treat. Another way if it does not stop after that, is to rub its noes in the mess and spank it and then put it out side.


Good luck!

Answer 8

At seven weeks, your puppy has the bladder control of a baby. As soon as he wakes up, you have to take him outside. As soon as he finishes eating, you have to take him outside. Every hour or two, you have to take him outside. Whatever you do, DON'T hit him for having accidents in the house. A firm "NO" and taking him outside immediately has better outcomes. Don't expect him to stop having accidents in the house until he is at least four to six months old.

Answer 9

Take the pup out often. It's really quite young, so I would suggest starting with newspaper covering where the pup plays, eats, sleeps, etc. Slowly remove each piece of newspaper until there's only one left. That way, your puppy will recognize to go ONLY on the newspaper. When you want it to go outside to pee, you can bring a piece of newspaper out where you want it to pee so your puppy can really associate newspaper=peeing place.

Answer 10

Going in the house? Do you mean using the bathroom in the house or running inside when you don't want him to?
