How would you train a dog to go out side and to hold it when you leave.

Routine is the key..
Feed 3 times per day at the same times daily..Put the bowl away after 10 minutes..
Take him outside after every feeding. He will go about 10-15 minutes after being fed. 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.

First of all, they are very witty and affectionate so never yell at the dog or hit him when he does something wrong. The best punishment is to ignore him for 10-15 minutes and he'll understand it was wrong. Take him outside 4 times a day at the same hour and keep him outside until he goes and then praise him a lot. it will take about 1 to 2 weeks to train him and afterwards try to pay attention to him at those specific hours because he will ask you to take him outside by barking, running to the door. you can also associate taking him out with a specific sentence or word. Each time before you take him out ask him something like "Wanna go out". after he learns you'll see that if you ask the same question and he needs to go he will get agitated, if not he will just ignore you.Also he will learn that it's wrong to go in the house and he will only go outside at those specific hours. Best of luck

House training is not difficult but it does require time and a commitment from you to be vigilant and consistent in teaching your puppy or dog not to eliminate in the house.

Hello-It will come naturaly. Take the dog outside before you go , then leave, come home and take him out . Keep doing this, they will get the hint.

they can't do to well with holding it. Lock it in the bathroom when you leave - cleanup is easier. Or put in a doggie door. We used to train them to go outside by rubbing their noses in it (lightly) followed by a smack and putting them outside. I don't how it is done now in the age of gentleness..

the most important thing is walking, walking, walking
every hour at first, then every two hours and so on until your dog gets it
