I have a year and a half female pomeranian. She is the love of my life and I adore her to pieces. My only problem is she will NOT go to the bathroom outside! If I'm lucky she will go number one if I take her out but never number two. My ex was a little rough with her when we first got her and now I'm scared to discipline her. I am in the process of moving into another apartment and I don't want her problem moving with us!! Any advice????

Dogs are creatures of Habitual Re-enforcement. Start with the basics, and you will have a well trained and obedient friend for many years.
One way to begin house breaking your older Pomeranian is to simply catch the dog in the act of relieving itself. Go over and pick him up while gently telling him “No" “No". Then carry the dog outside and set him down. When he finishes his business reward him with praise and maybe a treat.
Guess what, he will do it again. So, make a game out of it, get the kids involved and when he starts to go, repeat the routine, acting immediately and firmly.
This method is a fast and efficient method to House breaking your older Pomeranian, who, with the proper amount of tending and praise, will be potty trained quickly. Persistence and patience is the key – you must catch the dog in the act as much as possible for this to work. If you come home and find he has made a mess, getting upset at the dog and yelling will only confuse him and will not do anything to help the training along.
Remember when house breaking your older Pomeranian - never hit the pooch. Most experts agree that positive reinforcement is much more effective then yelling and hitting. Your dog wants to please you, so rewarding him when he does well will be an incentive for him to repeat the behavior..

I don't know if discipline works for a dog since they cannot really know what they are being disciplined for. Have you crate trained? Try this: get her a crate which provides her enough space to move and be comfortable. Keep toys, blankets, small amount of food and water in there. When you are gone, leave her in this crate and when you return, before doing anything else take her outside and wait until she pees. She will get it down. Most dogs will not go to the restroom where they are likely to sleep or eat.

My Pomeranian is the most stubborn animal I've ever known! She is 8 years old now and she only wets in the apartment when I leave her home. I discovered that it made the problem worse if I scolded her. If I just cleaned it up without saying anything, she was much better.

Hi when you move get her a crate & when she's out of the crate take her outside...dogs rarely like to wet their bad...you have to reprogram her & a new home might just help as she's never had the chance to use the new place as a bathroom...take her outside & exercise her & use the crate until she gets the message of where to go to the bathroom...don't give her the chance to use your new home as one...patience & training...no need to lose your temper with her..
If it's a chice between her bed or outside then hopfully she will soon get the hint...Regards Jake

You'll have to spend a couple of days with the dog 24 hours a day. Watch where he goes and just before he's able to lift his leg, take him out. After he goes outside, positive reinforcement.

This dog must be let out on several occasions,as she may have a weak bladder,or can't hold her feces.Try putting her in a kennel cab and only let her out to potty,then bring her directly back in,don't allow her to play,because if you allow her to play when putting her out,she will get confused on why you're letting her out.Do this for a week or so,I'm sure it will help.

hiya I see which you rather desire some type of instruction manual that provides you with guidance and tricks to help your canine replace into completely experienced and in good shape. recently certainly one of my acquaintances particularly needed some advise on the thank you to coach his canine. He accompanied the canine guidance academy path to effectively have an entire experienced canine in some weeks.

you are not walking her often enough or long enough
take her out on leash and walk, she will go potty, it
stimulates them to go
also pay attention to your timing, she will need to potty
about 20 min after she eats
