You must be consistent in all aspects of training... When I taught Grace Ann to sit and such, I worked with her for about three hours one day and she got it.. From then on out, she knew. Potty training was a different story. She was definitely stubborn. You have to be watchful.. Take him out as soon as he's through eating. Keep repeating, "You need to go potty".. And of course when he does potty, praise and reward him.. If he doesn't potty after some time, bring him back inside. You don't want him to think he's outside to play.. What my husband and I did was buy a ground stake and a leash... We'd put Grace on it so she wouldn't wander all over the yard. That way she'd potty and be done. And it worked like a charm. When you're inside keep a watchful eye on him. He may be playful then he may start to slow down and start sniffing. Ask him quickly "do you need to go out?". Snatch him up and keep saying, "Let's go out and go potty"... Make sure you always say out and point to the door... And as always reward when needed! And you'll be elated when he finally gets the hang of things:)! I honestly almost cried when Grace first started pawing at the door, barked, and then jumped at the doorhandle for us to let her out! Best wishes!

Be sure to take him outside after he eats and take him out VERY often. Praise him when he poops outside.

The way I look at it, it's my fault if my puppy poops in the house. It's because I wasn't watching him or I didn't take him out often enough. He can't help it; he doesn't know better yet.

You may also try those puppy pads for those times when accidents happen. My daughter did that and gradually moved it to the back door, then onto the porch, then in the yard. Her pup finally got the idea that it's supposed to happen outside.

every time he eats take him on a 5 minute walk and say go poop. If he does reward him with a treat. If he goes to the bathroom in the house put his nose close to the poop and say NO! firmily. Then take him for a walk. Hope this helps. This is how i trained my puppy

Consistency is the key, and alot of appraisal...Put them outside every 20 to 30 minutes whether they have to go or not because they can't hold it yet for very long.
...Every time they go in the house repremand them then put them out right away, they will look scared, so when they go potty outside, make a big deal out of it "what a good boy or girl" and pat them on the top, back of the head, when you come from the front of the head they feel like they have to protect themselves.....continue your consistency and It should not take long, I have had all my 4 dogs trained withen a 2 week period... for a short time they will have accidents because they are babies so continue to discipline and praise when they do good....If 'YOUR' consistant they will be.....Good luck.....They want to please you so praise goes along way......

Feed him at the same time each day, take him for walks, tell him to "get busy" & when he poops reward him with a treat. Always use positive reinforcement. Never spank him or hit him. If he poops in the house, unless he did it within a few minutes, rubbing his nose in it won't help. U have to b very patient, & always reward for a job well done.

Bring him out as often as possible and give him enthusiastic praise when he pees or poops. Rewards don't hurt either. Don't make a big deal out of indoor accidents - he's not a bad dog. Just let him know that he needs to do it outside. We found is surprisingly quick and easy when we trained out dog (about 2 weeks).
Good luck.

They make sprays. A good rule of thumb is to walk him consistently. Dogs have a short intestinal track. 20-30 minutes after eating take him out. Feed him the same times each day and walk him regularly. Give praise and rewards for positive reinforcement. Consistency and patience is the key.

Dogs respond well to regularity. If you take it out each morning early to a palce where you can stop for it to do it's business it will soon assotiate the stop with what it has to do. Most smallish dogs will only 'poop' once a day, but make sure it has a place outside to 'do the other'.

Take the pile that the pup does take it outside, and let the pup smell it, tell it good boy/girl, and give it a treat, then when it messes in the house scold it, smack once on the rump, take it outside to the other pile, It may take 3 or 4 days, unless the pup is really smart and picks it up quick. After feeding, take the pup outside, until it does it's business, and award it.

Okay, are you trying to teach him to use a doggie door? or do you want him to signal you in some way when he needs to be let outside? Big difference there. I have tied a bell to the door that I use to let the dogs in and out, and when young would use their paw and hit the bell each time I put them out. Now they will smack the bell anytime (even during the middle of the night - so be forwarned) they need to go outside.
