Answer 1

Beat him with a rolled up newspaper to train him,it won't hurt him but will scare him and get his attention,If you don't get him under control soon,you never will!

Answer 2

Your dog probably tries to run from you because he sees you as the person who keeps him locked away. You need to give him a chance. How long are babies in nappy's for? I'm sure it's longer than 5-6 months. You need to take your puppy into the house with you.

Every hour and a half, you need to take him outside on a lead, and let him have a sniff. If he has a wee or a poo, which he won't do straight away, he will want to have a good sniff for a nice spot first, praise him. Make loads of fuss over him. Take him back into the house.

If you work all day and there is nobody home throughout the day, then you shouldn't really have a dog. It is not fair as puppies need a lot of time and love and cuddles.

Answer 3

Dogs need a lot of exercise. When they get tired they will listen better. Don't feed into the excitement of your dog when you take him out of the cage. Teach him commands when he is focused on you with no distractions. You have to work with him ever day or it won't work. If you want him back in the house start potty training him by taking him out every half hour for the 1st week and increase it by a half hour each week. No food after 8pm. He will still have a few accidents when you 1st start but I promise it will get better. Dogs are like babies when you 1st get them. They need their human to show patience and love and discipline. Not rubbing their nose in poo or hitting them that is not the answer. Be stern and if they make a mistake in training make them do it over again. I hope you will be able to bring your dog back inside the house. I hate it when they have to stay out side. I think people should only get dogs if their going to be committed to all the work that goes into them. If you have anymore questions email me and I'll talk you through it as you go. good luck.

You can do search in yahoo answers for house training your pups effectively and efficiently. But I do want to answer for the same question even after few days as this is a complex problem with simple solutions.

Good rule of thumb for puppies is to take how many months they are and add 1 - that is about how long they can hold it while they are awake. They do not have the physical innervation to hold it much past that (vet student).

Just keep being consistent with her...put her on a feeding schedule where she is fed the same amount of food at the same time each day. Try to take her out the same time each day - and take her to the same spot - give command to "go potty" - lots of excited verbal praise when she does.

Once they go in the crate - it is really hard to break when they have no aversion to sitting in their own waste. I wonder if she is submissively urinating when you come home??

Really the crate at this stage should be just big enough for her to stand up in and turn around...you might have to use a much smaller one until she is housebroke. Some individuals take longer to "get it" then others.

I would say set a schedule for this week and stick with it - this includes when water is offered (you might want to take it away say after 8p).

Also, try an enzyme cleaner to clean the crate out. This will break down the proteins, and not allow her to smell them - same for the carpet. Do not clean it up in front of her - this is what mom would do. So if she sees that, she will think "we are working together."

Here is a link with more housebreaking tips. Punishing will not work - only make her afraid of you - especially with how shy she seems too be. Just be consistent, patient, and make a big deal when she goes outside. Good Luck!!!

Answer 5

Hes a baby, he is not about to house train himself he needs some help! If you were locked in a cage 23.5 hours a day or more wouldnt you run away from the person who locked you in there? Take the poor pup to dog training classes spend a LOT more time with him, or find him a new home where he will be trained and loved properly!

Answer 6

dwhen a puppy gets this bad you will need to take them to obediance school. they can help take care of the problem.

Answer 7

You're best bet would be an obedience class.

Answer 8

How to House Break a Puppy
A well-trained dog will let you know he has to go out. He may bark, run to the door, or scratch the door to let you know. But you need to teach a puppy how to do this.

Steps
Have a designated area for your puppy to "go"
Start by taking your puppy out every 10 to 15 minutes, day and night.
If you are crate training your puppy, take him out every time he whines in his crate. This will teach him to associate whining with going out.
When your puppy goes to the bathroom outside, praise him and give him a very small puppy treat.
Clean up any accidents (and there will be plenty) quickly and thouroughly. Hardwood (and tile) floors should be wiped cleaned, and then sprayed with a disinfectant. Carpets need to be cleaned with a carpet cleaner. This is probably the most important step because dogs have such a great sense of smell. If they can still smell the urine they will continue to urinate in that same spot. This is also why you should have a designated area outside.
Only punish a puppy for going in the house when you catch him in the act! If you find an accident, count it as your fault for not taking the puppy out enough. If you catch your puppy going in the house, grab him by the scruff of the neck (where his mother would pick him up) and say No! Picking him up by the scruff of his neck should have the effect of stopping him from whatever it is he is doing. If you pick him up and he doesn't stop urinating, then he can't hold it any more. Take the puppy outside immediately and let him finish. Lots of praise and a treat when they do.
After eating, wait 10 to 15 minutes, bring him out, then bring him out in another 20 minutes.
You can slowly increase the amount of time between trips outside with yoru puppy. If you are really paying attention you should be able to tell right before your puppy goes, or when he is getting ready, so you can quickly take him out before he goes in the house.
Most dogs will learn to associate a specific door with going outside. As a puppy gets older, he will usually go to the door to be let out. Each dog will develop whatever habit gets him let out. For some this is barking, others running to the door and back to you, and others will scratch at the door (this should not be encouraged if you don't want to replace the door).

Tips
Some puppies need to go out immediately after eating, then in 15 minutes; once you get to know your puppy it will be easier.
Be prepared to get no sleep for the first 4 or 5 nights!

Warnings
The habits you teach your puppy will continue when he is a dog. If your puppy is going to be a big dog, it isn't very cute when 80lbs jumps on you to go out


How to Teach Your Dog Some Basic Tricks
This article tells you how to teach your dog some tricks and get along with it easier.

Push your dog's rear down and pull it's head up. Do this daily and your dog will learn it bit by bit.
Come
Raise your hands high above your head and call your dog's name.
Roll Over
Tickle or scratch your dog's side. This coaxes him/her to roll onto his/her back.
Jump
Get a friend to hold a broom above the ground like a high-jump bar. The bigger your dog, the higher the broom goes.
Coax him/her over the broom.
Beg
Try this first with a treat. Hold the treat high above your head and your dog should beg.
Clench your fist instead and trick your dog into thinking you have a treat.

Tips
Whenever your dog does something, give it lots of praise.
Good work is rewarded with a treat.

How to Stop Your Dog from Jumping up on You in a Few Minutes
Owners and visitors alike hate it when unexpectedly your dog jumps up on you knocking you down, getting you dirty or spilling your packages. Now in minutes you can stop that dead.

Steps
Method 1
Put a collar with leash attached to your dog and call him over to you and encourage him to jump on you like you wished you never had done previously. Tell him in a semi firm voice "bad dog" don't be too harsh because you have let him do it for a long time and he will wonder why you are suddenly so angry.
With him facing you at your feet, step on the leash and keep your foot on it. Then encourage him to jump. He will get only inches off the ground. You then give him a treat and say "good boy" (or girl). Try it again and in only a very short time he will stop jumping. You may have to repeat this for a couple of days but it is guaranteed!
Method 2
The next time your dog jumps on you grab their front paws as to hold them in an upright position.
A dog walks on all fours and has a hard time balancing on just two legs. Make sure you are not pulling up on the dog. Hold their paws at a hieght that just keeps them upright and standing on their two back paws.
Hold this position for about 5 secs and notice that the dog will try to squirm away since they are having trouble supporting themselves.
Say "bad dog" and let their paws go.
Repeat, each time the dog jumps up. Soon they will learn that they dont want to get into this position and will no longer jump up on you.

Tips
Avoid "choke collars" your goal here is not to hurt your fuzzy buddy.

A puppy isn't born knowing that your carpet is not an acceptable place to relieve himself. Here's a relatively easy way to train him that doesn't require punishment.

Steps:
1. Watch your puppy's behavior while relieving himself outdoors so you can detect the warning signs and intercept him when indoors.
2. Stay outside as often as possible during nice weather so your puppy can develop a preference for eliminating outdoors. Help him develop a liking for surfaces like dirt and gravel by taking him outdoors to eliminate after eating, playing and sleeping ' or, ideally, every 15 minutes.

3. When it's time, go straight to a predesignated area and don't leave until the puppy urinates.

4. Tuck your puppy into a cozy crate in your bedroom at night. Dogs are den animals and don't like to soil the area where they sleep.

5. Carry the puppy outdoors when he becomes restless in the middle of the night, and wait until he's finished relieving himself.

6. Supply a litter box (filled with sand or kitty litter) during the night, unless you plan on getting up every couple of hours to take him outside. If you do want to take him outside, set your alarm if you sleep too deeply to notice that your puppy has started fidgeting, and carry him outside at those times.

7. Carry the puppy outside first thing in the morning so he won't soil the floors as he walks outside.

8. Be consistent with training. Consult a pet behaviorist if you have problems.

9. Reward your dog with puppy treats and praise every time he successfully eliminates outdoors.

Tips:
Corrections and punishments for indoor accidents will only teach your puppy not to eliminate around you (even when outdoors), but won't stop him from eliminating indoors when you're not around. If you catch the puppy in the act, say 'No!' sharply and carry the puppy outside.


Warnings:
Avoid giving your dog the message that relieving himself is wrong. Don't rub his nose in the mess, and don't hit him with a newspaper.

Tips from eHow Users:
"Hurry Up!" by eHow Friend
Give your dog a quick "Hurry Up!" whenever they are relieving themselves, then praise them once they are done. In time they will develop an association with the action and command. Great for those of us who have to walk their dogs in the dead of winter!

Housebreak your dog by eHow Friend
I searched on the web about housebreaking and looked for books on the subject at my local library and I found it.

The secret to housebreaking that I was doing wrong was not taking my dog out at the same time (having her on a schedule). I work all day, so I started taking her out at 7 AM then let her eat. And 9:45 AM before I'd leave for work. I'd then put her back in her crate with her toys (no food or water so she wouldn't fill herself up before I got back for lunch). I'd then get back to the house around 2:15 PM, I'd take her out to relieve herself then let her eat and drink again while I ate lunch. I'd then take her back out at 2:45 PM to relieve herself again, then put her back in the crate. When I'd get home around 7:30 PM, I'd take her out again. Then let her eat, drink, play, and snuggle. At 10:00 I'd take her out right before we'd go to bed. She'd lay in bed with us as a treat for about 30 minutes (this allowed us to bond) then back in her crate she'd go. On my days off I'd stick to the same schedule. I might let her out a little longer after she would relieve herself, but she had the same amount of crate time as before.

She's now been housebroken for 2 years and I trust her to be loose by herself when we're away. She can also stand being on long car rides without having to make frequent stops. We recently moved 1200 miles and only had to make 2 stops a day; it took us 3 days.

Obedience training is one of the best things you can do for your dog or puppy and yourself. Obedience training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want her to do. You can teach her anything from 'stay' (don't bolt out the door) to 'sit' (don't jump up on the visitors) to 'off' (don't chew the furniture).

Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, dig holes in your yard, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal canine activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. For example, the dog will eliminate on the carpet instead of outside; the dog will bark all night long instead of just when a stranger is prowling around outside; or the dog will chew furniture instead of his own toys. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect his natural behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.

Obedience training is also an easy way to establish the social hierarchy. When your dog obeys a simple request of 'come here, sit,' she is showing compliance and respect for you. It is NOT necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the pack by using extreme measures such as the so-called alpha roll-over. You CAN teach your dog her subordinate role by teaching her to show submission to you in a paw raise (shake hands), roll over or hand lick (give a kiss). Most dogs love performing these tricks (obedience commands) for you which also pleasantly acknowledge that you are in charge.

Obedience training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained one. A trained dog will come when called.

Some people debate whether or not it is possible to train puppies, and others ask whether it is possible to teach an old dog new tricks. The answer to both questions is an unequivocal YES. Whatever the age of your dog, the right time to begin training is right now! The most important time in your dog's life is right now. Your dog's behavior is constantly changing. A dog that is well-behaved today will not necessarily remain that way forever. New problems can always develop. Existing problems can always get worse.

Enroll in a local dog obedience training class to learn the basics. Then most teaching and training can and should be done in your home. It is best to begin training in an area that is familiar to your dog and with the least amount of distractions as possible. When you feel both you and your dog are skilled at several obedience commands, then take these commands to different areas. Introducing distractions may seem like starting all over again, but it's worth the effort. In reality, who cares if your dog will sit stay when no one is around? What you need is a dog who will sit-stay when company is at the door. Who cares if your dog heels beautifully in your own back yard? But you need to start there if you eventually want a dog who will heel beautifully when walking down Union Street. If you want your dog to be obedient in your car, guess where you have to practice? If you suddenly want your dog to down-stay while you are trying to move over 3 lanes to make an exit, you had better find time to practice those obedience commands in the car long before you need them. Don't drive and practice at the same time. Practice while the car is parked or while someone else is driving.

Keep the obedience training sessions short and sweet. It is dull and boring to schedule tedious and lengthy training sessions. Instead, integrate training into your daily routine. Make obedience training interesting and meaningful to your dog. If Puppy insists on following you from room to room while you are getting ready for the day, then insist he have something to do too. "Roll over" for your wake-up greeting. "Heel" from the bedroom to the bathroom. "Down-stay" while you're brushing your teeth. "Heel" from the bathroom to the kitchen. "Sit-stay" while grinding the coffee beans. "Go find the ball" while you get dressed. Now "go get the leash" so you can go for a walk. "Sit" when the door is opened, "sit" again when the door is closed. And so on. Be sure that obedience training infiltrates your dog's favorite activities and that your dog's favorite activities infiltrates training. Your dog's favorite activities should become training, so that training becomes the dog's favorite activity.

Rewards While Training
The single most important aspect of training is rewarding your dog for good behavior. The more times the dog is rewarded, the quicker he will learn. Therefore, it's essential that you set up situations repeatedly in order for your dog to get plenty of practice at doing the right thing. It's equally as important that you always praise your dog for good behavior instead of taking it for granted. It's easy to forget to praise good behavior because it goes unnoticed. But the very nature of misbehavior gets our attention. We don't notice when our dog is lying quietly, but excessive barking gets our attention. How many of us take notice and praise our dogs when they chew their own toys? But we all go berserk when we notice our favorite pair of shoes chewed up! Praise and reward are the most important part of maintaining good behavior and preventing problems from arising.

Reprimands While Training
Some dogs feel they are constantly bombarded with, 'NO, Stop that, get off, Bad dog!' They tend to get used to it and so the reprimands become meaningless and are ignored. If most of our interaction with the dog is praise for good behavior, then reprimands will take on much more meaning. Whenever you find the need to reprimand your dog, immediately show him what you want him to do, then reward him for getting it right. If you catch him chewing the furniture, tell him, 'Off!' Then immediately direct him to his own toys, enthusiastically entice him to chew on them and praise him for doing so.

If done correctly, your voice alone is sufficient for reprimand. A correct reprimand is short, sharp and immediate. Don't continue to nag the dog and never reprimand him unless you catch him in the act. Never hit, kick, slap or spank your dog. This type of inappropriate punishment always creates more problems and usually makes existing problems worse. Not only will you have a barking, chewing dog, but one that is leery, hand-shy, fearful or aggressive.
