When you catch your dog going to the bathroom in the house, you smack it in the butt or nose hard enough to scare and slightly sting and then you put it outside of the house immediately. Yelling, "bad dog" or something like that while doing this will help.

When the dog goes to the bathroom outside, you need to reward the dog with positive feedback, "good dog" and possibly a treat. Good luck.

Here's how I house trained my dog:
I put a bell tied to a string on my door. Every time she went to the bathroom inside the house, I would take her over to the bell and have her hit it with her nose. After a while, she got the idea - she started ringing the bell every time she had to go to the bathroom. I would let her outside, she would do her business, and then I would give her one of her favorite treats, so she knew that she did the right thing. My dog is 6 years old now - and still uses the bell! It works wonders. Good luck! :)

I just got a puppy 3 days ago I was going to do crate but he hates the crate so what I did was set him up an area puppy proof with a little bed and toys in the entrance of my house, I tied him to his leash that gave him enough space to move around the whole area. I put his crate next to him as a reminder 15-20 minutes after he ate or drank I would carry him out side( He is only 3 pounds not big) and put him in the grass I walked up and down and waited a few minutes encouraging him saying "thats it, come on" and then after praised him. The next day I learned to pay attention to his movements (sniffing around, not calmed, stiff tail) and would take him out just in case. Now on the 3rd day he barks and gets hyper if he needs to go out. And we are just working on it. Be sure not to put him back in his crate immediately. If you need more advice, I have a booklet I can share with you. Most of all be patient!

This is going to take some work on you're part. Start with taking it outside every half hour weather it wants to go or not. When he/she/it goes potty, throw a party for it, Good potty, good boy. I have never had to hit one of my dogs for going potty in the house, and i have never paper trained one either. Good luck.

I had a dog that amazed me--he only peed in the house once. However, as he was doing it, I picked him up under the chest and ran out the back door while he was still doing it. He got the message really fast!

We have an 11 month old dog, and it was very hard to teach him to go outside, we had tried punishing him, we rubbed his nose in it, I tried spraying vinegar anywhere he went, so he wouldn't go again, even bought the Shoo spray. nothing worked.

We were selling our house, and had to keep him locked in a kennel all day while we were out, after two weeks of being kenneled, he goes outside all the time, and he always tells us when he needs to go.

crate tranning is the best. When you can not give your puppy your full attention. just make a crate its bed. everytime he leaves the crate out side emediatley. every time he eats out side again. be patient and wait for him to roam around and finish business. Please never hit. Dogs want to please us. You use one word comands and hand signals. when he does have an accident pick up with a paper towel and bring the puppy and the paper towel outside. Be patient!!!!

Housebreaking your new puppy


If done properly, housebreaking your Dog does not have to be as much of a hassle as some owners make it to be. Your Dog is a creature of habit. If it is taught where you want it to eliminate, and you control its food and water intake to regulate when it will eliminate, you will have a happy relationship relatively free of accidents.
The biggest mistake made by Dog owners is inconsistency. It is important that you first choose the method of housebreaking appropriate for you and your pet and secondly stick with it. We know of many Dog owners who are impatient or inconsistent when housebreaking their pets. The end result is a pet that is never fully housebroken.
So, remember the three P's - persistence, patience and praise, and you are guaranteed success.
Here are the 3 methods you can use to housetrain your Dog:

The Paper Method -
The paper method seems to work better with a puppy than with an adult Dog, although it can be used on both. To begin housetraining your pup with the paper method, first you must choose a location where your puppy will be staying until housetrained. Make sure the room is puppy proofed and that elimination on the floor in this area will not cause permanent damage to your home. A bathroom or small kitchen is usually a good place for this.
Once you have chosen an area, cover the entire floor with newspaper. If you have a young puppy, it will eliminate much more often than when it is older. So, just be prepared for many messes in the beginning. In the beginning, it is important to replace the paper as soon as possible after the elimination has occurred. This helps your puppy establish the area as its own, and it will help you get a better idea of where it favors doing its business.
As your puppy eliminates throughout the day, it may go in several different areas of the room. But, as it gets a little more used to its room, it will choose a certain area where it prefers to eliminate. When its preferred area for elimination is established, begin removing the paper from the rest of the room, only covering the area it uses. Make sure you leave its papered area large enough so that it does not miss the paper. If it misses the paper, the area is too small and you need to add more paper. When it uses its papered area, praise it. The more your puppy associates a reward with its choice of the paper instead of the linoleum, the quicker your puppy will be trained.
After it has established that it will use the papered area instead of the floor, begin moving the paper towards the area (presumably somewhere outside your house) where you want it to go when fully trained. The paper should only be moved a little at a time towards this location. If moving the paper confuses your puppy, you may only be able to move about one inch per day, until the paper reaches its final destination. Once your puppy understands that it is to eliminate only on the paper, and you have been able to move towards the area where it will eventually go outside, monitoring its habits will be much easier. Once the paper is completely removed, it will go to that area automatically and sniff or turn circles, letting you know it has to go out.




Crate Training -
Crate training can be used on both a puppy and an adult Dog and is probably the most effective and efficient way to housetrain your pet. No Dog will want to eliminate in a place it considers to be its own and therefore, unless left in its crate for too long, it will not eliminate in its crate.
Once every hour, place your Dog on a leash and walk it in the area where you want it to go potty. If it has not gone in five minutes, return it to its crate for another hour. After another hour goes by, the dog that did not go last time will most likely go this time. When it does go, be sure and praise it profusely and return it to its crate. The excitement in your voice when you are praising it will help it better understand that THIS is the place you want it to go.
Once that is established, it will do its best to make you happy by eliminating in its designated area. Once you feel it understands where it is to go to potty, you may lessen its crate time, and begin opening up its area to more than just its crate. Be sure and open up its area a little at a time so it clearly establishes the larger area as "its area", increasing the desire to keep its area clean. Eventually, you will be able to open up your entire home, but this is only after a lot of time has been spent training and proof that it understands.

Litter Pan Method -
This method will have the best chance of success with an young puppy but an older Dog may be able to litter train with success as well. Similar to paper training, litter box training begins in a confined area such as a bathroom or kitchen. Although you may be able to use a traditional cat litter box for this purpose, pet supply stores do sell doggy litter boxes. They are shaped a little different and are a bit larger than the traditional kitty box. Also available are special litters and papers that should eventually be used in the box.
Like paper training, the beginning stages have paper lining the entire floor of the room. You continually change any soiled paper until the puppy chooses a place on the floor it likes to eliminate. Once the puppy has eliminated in an area about the size of a litter pan for approximately two weeks, place a litter pan on the floor and paper inside the litter pan. When it goes and does its business inside the litter box, make sure to praise it profusely. It has got to establish this is the correct behavior before it will be comfortable with it.
Once it is used to the litter box with the paper, you may begin the change to doggy litter if desired. As time goes on, you may add additional litter until eventually the paper is gone and only litter remains. If you choose this method, you must clean the litter box every time your Dog eliminates. It will not go in a dirty box. Failure to consistently clean the litter box will result in your puppy reverting back to the floor.

Follow any of the above 3 methods consistently, and you should soon have a fully house-trained Dog!
