Answer 1

You could try house training it not to 'GO' in the house. Crate the dog, i know it sounds cruel but its not. Since its her dog, she should help in the training of the dog. Here is how you can go about training this dog.
Unless you can monitor your puppy 24 hours a day, don't expect the house training process to be completed until your puppy is at least 6 months old. It's normal for a young puppy to be a little 'input-output' machine. Since puppies are growing and developing rapidly at this stage, they eat more food, burn up more energy and seem to need to eliminate constantly! They also have not yet developed bowel and bladder control, so they can't 'hold it' as long as adult dogs.



House Training When You Are NOT Home
Confine your puppy to a small, 'puppy-proofed' room and paper the entire floor. Put his bed, toys and food/water bowls there. At first there will be no rhyme or reason to where your pup eliminates. He will go every where and any where. He will also probably play with the papers, chew on them, and drag them around his little den. Most puppies do this and you just have to live with it. Don't get upset; just accept it as life with a young puppy. The important thing is that when you get home, clean up the mess and lay down fresh paper.While your puppy is confined, he is developing a habit of eliminating on paper because no matter where he goes, it will be on paper. As time goes on, he will start to show a preferred place to do his business. When this place is well established and the rest of the papers remain clean all day, then gradually reduce the area that is papered. Start removing the paper that is furthest away from his chosen location. Eventually you will only need to leave a few sheets down in that area only. If he ever misses the paper, then you've reduced the area too soon. Go back to papering a larger area or even the entire room. Once your puppy is reliably going only on the papers you've left, then you can slowly and gradually move his papers to a location of your choice. Move the papers only an inch a day. If puppy misses the paper again, then you're moving too fast. Go back a few steps and start over. Don't be discouraged if your puppy seems to be making remarkable progress and then suddenly you have to return to papering the entire room. This is normal. There will always be minor set-backs. If you stick with this procedure, your puppy will be paper trained.



House Training When You ARE Home
When you are home but can't attend to your puppy, follow the same procedures described above. However, the more time you spend with your puppy, the quicker he will be house trained. Your objective is to take your puppy to his toilet area every time he needs to eliminate. This should be about once every 45 minutes; just after a play session; just after eating or drinking; and just upon waking. When he does eliminate in his toilet area, praise and reward him profusely and enthusiastically! Don't use any type of reprimand or punishment for mistakes or accidents. Your puppy is too young to understand and it can set the house training process back drastically. Don't allow your puppy freedom outside of his room unless you know absolutely for sure that his bladder and bowels are completely empty. When you do let him out, don't let him out of your sight. It is a good idea to have him on leash when he is exploring your home. He can't get into trouble if you are attached to the other end of the leash. Every 30 minutes return your pup to his toilet area. As your puppy becomes more reliable about using his toilet area and his bowel and bladder control develops, he can begin to spend more time outside his room with you in the rest of your home. Begin by giving him access to one room at a time. Let him eat, sleep and play in this room but only when he can be supervised. When you cannot supervise him, put him back in his room.



Active House Training
The most important thing you can do to make house training happen as quickly as possible is to reward and praise your puppy every time he goes in the right place. The more times he is rewarded, the quicker he will learn. Therefore it's important that you spend as much time as possible with your pup and give him regular and frequent access to his toilet area.



Key to Successful House Training
Consistency and Patience. Never scold or punish your puppy for mistakes and accidents. The older your pup gets, the more he will be able to control his bladder and bowels. Eventually your pup will have enough control that he will be able to "hold it" for longer and longer periods of time. Let your puppy do this on his own time. When training is rushed, problems usually develop. Don't forget, most puppies are not reliably house trained until they are at least 6 months old.

I personally prefer crating then that of the newspapers.....some ogs just like to tear it up! Those puppy pads simply DO NOT WORK! for all dogs. However, crating should and most likely will. It dosn't matter how old the dog is when you use the crate. If you use the crate, set up specific times to let him/her out....carry the dog if you have to outside! so there is nochance of it goin in the house. When you are both gone from the house, crate the dog, leaving water and food. Dogs are tidious creatures, they don't like to "soil" thier "den". When you get home, one of you must take the dog immediately out to the designated part of the yard you have chosen for her to go in. Praise the dog. Use the same words to not confuse her when you tell her to "go" or "do your business". At night again crate her that way there is no small unplanned surprises in the morning! If you have the time maybe one of you could take her out in the early mornings like 2am or 3am or 6am.....

Crating to me is one of the best ways of potty training a dog. Keep it up and it shouldn't before long that there won't be small surprises in the mornning or anytime!(from your dog of course)

Answer 2

If its not a bladder infection then its you and your mom that is the problem, just like what cesar milan says, its not the dog its the dog reacting to what the human is doing. When your dog pees than show it to him (without rubbing his nose in it) tell him no calmly but with assertiveness and bring your dog to the door and take their paws and scratch on the door and open it, to show them where to go to do the business. And when they do go outside give it a treat and say good boy without getting loud or high pitched (getting loud and excited will distract them from what they are being praised for) This has worked with the 17 puppies i have trained myself, three years is wayy to long to not be house trained. My most recent pup a labradoodle was potty trained at 9 weeks old. And all the other around the same time. Dont get frustrated when your dog is peeing inside, they will feel it aswell. Also at 9 months of age a dog is able to hold it for 12 hours and around 8 hours comfortably. I know all dog owners dont like to be told that what they are doing is wrong but it is always the humans fault for a dogs bad behavior. Potty training is easy and easy for the dog to learn, i guess your just not doing it right.

Answer 3

You didn't say what breed. However, you're going to need to use these tips: crate the puppy at night after you take it out. Make sure the crate is size appropriate. Never allow the puppy to roam without supervision in your home. Consistency is the key. Some breeds take longer than others to completely housebreak. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES use harsh punishment. You wouldn't rub your children's noses into their diapers, so don't do it to your puppy. And last but by no means least remember this: If your wife isn't happy...then NO ONE is going to be happy. Why don't you try being part of the solution instead of part of the problem??!!!

Answer 4

You could try what everyone with a new dog does - house train it!

Puppies need to go out after a nap, after playing, after a drink, and anytime they start to look restless. Go out with the puppy and give lots and lots of praise the second he pees. The idea is to praise for correct behaviour, NOT correct for mistakes. You don't mention the age of this dog, but young puppies have no control over their bladders and it's up to their owners to do some training. A puppy who's trained correctly with lots of praise will be very quick to learn.

Answer 5

Wow....could really use more info...age, has it been housebroken, is it spayed/neutered, etc? If it's a puppy, get it housebroken. If it's not spayed/neutered, do so...that will help immensely. It could be incontinent or have a health condition. The best thing you can do is get it to the vet...make sure there's not a health issue. PS...if this is a puppy, that's still a good idea!If it's frequently going in the house, take it outside more often. Whatever you do, don't just throw it outside...that's cruel and your wife will not be happy.

Answer 6

when we first got our dog when he was a pub, we put newspaper down in the kitchen, and we trained him to use it, when we see hima bout to pee, we used to pick him up, and stick him on the paper, everday we would help him with differnt things,

and he got better, and learned, he is over 3months old so he is still very young, and its best not too shout at him for peeing as he dont know were his loo is, it will take some time, but make sure you always say good boy/girl after she/he has done something good, or give him/she something teasty to eat,

Answer 7

C'mon Ed. It's just a dog. Get a book that tells you how to train that breed of dog and work on training him everyday especially that bathroom problem. Soon, that dog will obey your every command.

Answer 8

My dog used to do the same thing we would first take him outside so he can pee and than we would reward him! with a treat but if when he would take a piss in the house we would lock him up in a cage so he can learn not to do it again and it worked!!!! because he didnt want to stay in that cage!!! he learned to pee outside

Answer 9

i got a dog last week. he was a outside dog. and has only peed in the whouse twice, when he pees in the house wipe his nose in it. and throw him outside. reinforce strict punishment for bad behaviour. and at night lock the dog up in a kennel. he wont pee where he sleeps. reinforce the word pee with peeing and the outside. otherwise you will have yellow carpets in no time. reinforce good behaviourIE(peeing outside) with a treat!!!

Answer 10

You could have the dog fixed that may help also
