Answer 1

All of mine have potty trained easily.
routine is the key..
Feed 3 times epr day at the same times daily..Put the bowl away after 10 minuutes..
Take him outside after every feeding. He will go about 10-15 minutes after being fed, at his age. It will take awhile for him to learn/develop bladder control, but potty should be easier. Feed on a strict schedule, so that he isn't fed just before bedtime, as he will need to go shortly after being fed..Young pups should be fed and then walked 3 times per day, UNTIL THEY POOP...He will need more frequent outings for peeing...Walk him just before bedtime, to make certain he is empty..
Never scold for mistakes, but give lavish praise every time he goes outside, like he won the spelling bee.....Pups can only hold their pee for 1 hour, per month of age..So, its important to empty them just before bedtime..
Use the same word every time, such as 'do the doody', or whatever..
The most important thing is to watch him closely, and scoop him up and outside when he begins to act restless, turn circles, etc. soon he will whine and look at you when he needs to go.
Be patient...If your patience wears thin, talk to your mom, and ask her how long it took to potty train you...How many times she changed your diaper, and bedding....lol

Answer 2

For some reason ... small breed dogs allways seem to be the most difficult to potty train. Try moving the potty pads slowly towards the door and eventually to the spot outside that you want the dog to eliminate in. There is an alternative with small dogs... and tht is to litter box train them. There are specially made litter boxes and litter for dogs now. You can find this at petsmart. It may be easier on you and your little dog. Hope this helps and good luck with the training.

Answer 3

Some never will be housebroken
Chis are very hard to housebreak.
I know a breeder who potty breakes hers to the puppy pee pads and figures that is good enough.
One more reason I will never have a Chi.

Answer 4

I've never found it easy to potty train any dog regardless of breed. But it's a learned response. If you take him out regularly and encourage him to do his business, he will learn. After he does his business outside, praise him. He will love to please you.

Answer 5

My little guys knows when it's time to go outside he needs to pee to come back in. Me and my Dad would walk him everyday, though he hated it he had to get use to it. Just repetition

Answer 6

of course they do
