I need help with my 15week old pomeranian!!?

Question

She is going every where in the house and I do believe she knows whats she's doing cause she will look you dead in the face when she is doing it and when you walk toward her she will run and then continue going to the next safest place. We have a pad by the door but she will pee-pee on it but turn around and **** on the the kitchen floor please help I take her outside and will even sit outside with her to praise her when she goes outside but it's not working. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a female and her name is "Diamond"

Answer 1

If your dog is looking right at you when she's pottying in the house, she's declaring her dominance over you. To stop the behavior, you have to establish yourself as the boss.

Do NOT hit, yell at, or drag at your dog, and do NOT put her face into her messes. That teaches her nothing except to be afraid of you.

To stop the messing, try this:

In the face of your dog's misbehavior remain calm. Keep your voice firm and level. No yelling. Dogs respect leaders who can control themselves.

Remember that dogs usually have to go potty about 10 minutes after they eat, when they get up from naps, and when they first get up in the morning. Use these opportunities to take your Pom outside and stay out there with her until she potties outside. As soon as she does, praise her a lot.

When inside the house, keep an eye on her. Before they potty, most dogs walk in tight circles with their nose to the ground right before they squat. When you see this behavior, immediately take the dog outside and again stay with her until she potties outside. As soon as she does, praise her a lot.

Remember, too, that dogs live "in the moment". You have to correct bad behavior the instant it happens. If you scold the dog for going potty in the house, but she did it 10 minutes ago, she doesn't understand what you're upset about.

We usually tell dog owners to NOT use wee wee pads. Those things simply teach the dog to go to the bathroom in the house. If you want the dog to go outside, don't EVER let her use your house for a toilet. She can't distinguish between it being OK to go on the pad, and it not being Ok to go on the floor: it's all just "surfaces" to her.

You must be consistent , firm and confident in your leadership. Take the dog out after meals and sleeping, and taker her out EVERY TIME you see the circle-and-squat routine. If you do so, she'll learn that you're serious about her house training and she'll respect you enough to follow your direction.

Answer 2

She doesn't know waht she's doing, she hasn't learned yet. She is only reacting the way she does because of your body language. You need to crate train her. Get rid of the pee pads..those are better for teaching a dog to go in the house then they are for housetraining. Take her out every hour to hour & a half, after naps,playtime, eating .Wait for her to go if she doesn't take her right back in and put her in her crate, wait a while and repeat. Every time she goes outside praise her lavishly. If she can't be supervised keep her confined. When you are there keep her tethered to you.

If she has an accident don't call her attention to it, rather simply clean it up and use Nature's miracle, OUT, Simple Solutions or white vinegar on the area. Don't EVER rub your puppies nose in her mess!!! This is not effective and is extremely barbaric.
Remember your puppy is very young and it takes time and patience to train in any capacity including housetraining. Don't expect your puppy to be fully housetrained until she is at least 6 months old. They need to have bladder & bowel control and this takes physical maturity.

Answer 3

at 15 weeks of age, a puppy doesn't have full control over it's bowels or bladder. And she doesn't know that what she is doing is wrong. And putting her nose in it and yelling at her won't do a bit of good, either. Their attention span is so short, that unless you catch them in the act(and immediatly correct them), they don't know what they've done. Get rid of the pee-pee pads, unless you plan on using them for the next 15 years. Buy a wire dog crate(one just large enough for her to stand up and lay down in). keep her in the crate when you are unable to watch her. when you take her out of the crate, immediatley take her outside, and ignore her til she pees(or poops). then praise her, play with her for a bit, and put her right back in the crate. she's young, so she'll need to go out immediatly after eating, every couple hrs during the day(for the next 3 mos), right before bedtime, and immediatly upon waking up. Do not give her food or water in her cage, and make sure that it is not too big where she'll be able to get away from messes. you'll get the hang of it. just be consistent.good luck

Answer 4

Ok - crate trainig is your answer. FEED her in the crate. Wait 1/2 hour - take her outside and DO NOT PLAY with her - just keep repeating "go potty" or whatever phrase you want to use for her to "do her business"....WHEN she does the deed - effusively praise her ("Good Girl, etc.) and bring her inside and give her a treat - BUT ONLY if she has done her business! NO Business - No treat!! This should work. No more piddle pads in the house. If you catch her squatting - slam your hand on the floor next to/behind her - and she will stop doing her business - and IMMEDIATELY take her outside so she can complete her business. Keep her in the crate unless she is supervised. It is very hard to train them to go outside once they have use piddle pads. Check Cesar Millan's Web site... the dog whisperer.

Answer 5

Wow, you have a stinker don't you? I'm working on that with my 8 week old and as awful as it sounds, you have to be persistent. Don't show any emotion when she starts to go in the house, grab her as fast as you can and put her outside. She's liking the attention. Even if she finishes inside she still needs to know that outside is where it's at. Don't waste your time on the potty pads!

Answer 6

Your best option sounds to me like crate training. I have always crate trained my dogs and it can be a lifesaver. She probably will cry thefirst few days, but then she will get to like it. It becomes like a little home for them. You need to keep her in the crate, feed her, take her outside after 5 minutes(the food goes through fast when they are that young) keep her out till shegoes,pet her and get excited and tell her how good she was, then reward her with play time for about 1/2 hr. then back to her crate. repeat every time she eats. after a week or 2 she will really catch on, then you can leave her out longer. Good Luck!

Answer 7

I had to crate train mine and it took less than a week (she was 9 months old). I also learned one thing that I will share with you. I use to pick up her poo, shake my hand at her and tell her what a bad girl. I then read a book that said what ever you do , don't pick it up and shake your hand and scold them as they are watching you and hearing oh what a good girl you are. I do believe it is true she is such a pleasure now. 15 weeks is not that old she is still a baby. Just be glad she isn't 9 months.

Answer 8

invest in baby gates or find a friend that no longer needs theirs, limit the space the puppy is able to be in, put lots of the house breaking pads around if you don't have the gates, try a puppy treat for a reward for being a good dog.

Answer 9

as soon as she starts acting funny take out outside. you have to be really patient, but she will learn. another good thing is to crate train your dog. dogs will never potty where they sleep. Its worth it if you have the time and the patience to crate train. good luck.
