How to house break a 4 mo. old dog that makes on wee wee pads only? She makes on them like a charm.?

Question

My 4 month old shih tzu has learned to make on the wee wee pads, I want to get her to start going outside instead,. how do i transition her to start "going" outside now?

Answer 1

Catch her at the pad and hurry up and take her out, then reward her if she goes. Also, water goes through faster than food, so just a little bit after you give her water, take her outside until she goes. Keep telling her to "Go pee". Again, reward her so she knows she's doing a good job. With solid foods, wait an hour or so to take her out. She'll catch on we just went through that...again!!

Answer 2

Move her wee wee to the wee wee pad out side the doggy door you should know the dogs look after drinking and eating as she walks to her former wee wee spot and gently push her thru the doggy door each time and praise praise each time let doggy know you really like it when it gos out side. After a while dogs take the hint and find a place in the scrubs or yard.

Answer 3

keep on putting the pee pads closer and closer to the door. then when the pad is close to the door put it outside. make sure the puppy knows that the pad is outside. watch for the puppy to go to the door then take him outside to go.

Answer 4

start moving the pads closer to where you want her to go...and slowly move them outside...and once she gets outside watch her as she goes and pull the pad from under her as she goes...lol...not really but you get the idea

Answer 5

Gradually move them towards the door and eventually let hers use them outside and PRAISE her when she does.I use "go pee go poo " with mine so they associate the words w/ voiding outside. Now I just bring them out and say "go pee go poo " so they know what is expected of them

Answer 6

beat her with a stick.
