Answer 1

Well then, house train them! Depending on their age, this could be easy or hard.

I suggest going out and buying 2 crates, or a large pin. (Your choice) When you are not home, keep them in the pin/crates and when they are asleep. When you are home, take them out when ever you notice they need to use the restroom. ALWAYS praise them when they potty outside, until they are fully house trained.

Edit: Forgot to mention; The dogs will learn to alert you when they must use the restroom. Do not expect the crates will just teach them instantly! They might make a few accidents in the crates at first, but they will so learn not to use the bathroom where they sleep.

Hope I helped a bit :P

Answer 2

First, get them housebroken. Second, put them in a basic obedience class and third buy 2 crates and crate train them so when they are in the house and you are not there, they won't tear up your house. Crate should be big enough for them to stand up, lay down and turn around it. How old are these dogs and what breed are they? If they don't see you every day, it is no wonder they don't behave. Do they live where you are? If you love them, train them to mind and be a pet instead of an animal left outside to its own devices.

Honestly I am totally against puppy pads. I have never had any luck with them. All they do is confuse the dog. If your dogs are a bigger breed it's going to get messy. Smaller breeds are easier to clean up after when they use the puppy pads. I would strongly suggest crating them. A dog won't urinate or deficate where they lay. The only exception is if they are sick or they are confined for an excessive amount of time....15hrs...or so. Most adult dogs can hold it in 8hrs. + easily. The main thing you need to remember when potty training is consistancy. Consistancy truly is the main key. Whoever is helping you with the dogs should follow your routine religiously to not throw the dogs "off." Before you crate them, take them outside to have a chance to go to the bathroom. Make sure you give them enough time....5-10min. When you return home the first thing you should do when you let them out of their crates is leash them up and take them outside immediately...again...5-10min. Taking the dogs outside should be the last thing you do before crating and the first thing you do when letting them out. While you are home and they are not crated, take them out after they wake up from a nap or get done eating. Even if only one took a nap or ate, take both out at the same time. Within a short time your dogs will fall into the pattern. Also, don't forget to praise your dogs for good behavior. It is very important. It would be a great idea to take a couple of treats outside with you when you take them. The first few times I would treat them and praise them when they come back in even if they don't go to the bathroom. This will put the idea in their heads that they will be rewarded for going outside and thus making them eager to play along. I wouldn't treat them for more than a week without having positive results of potty training. You don't want them to loose site of the purpose they are outside. I hope I shed a little light for you. Good luck.

Answer 4

House train your dogs. Also you can get assistance with the help of a trainer for behavioral problems, like "ripping everything up outside". It is good that you love your dogs and that is a good start. The next step is investing in their training which trains you too, on how to be in control of your dogs. Good luck!

Answer 5

Ok I have 3 dogs and they are all trained. WHat we do when they are puppies is buy these things called wee wee pads. You keep your dog in a cage and before you take it out to play or let it out around the house you make it go bathroom on the pad.They will eventually learn.

we dont leave our dogs out at night either so what we do in the winter is we take them out to the dog run and make them go bathroom then you bring them back in the house. well hope i helped

Answer 6

Most pet supplies stores, and even Wal-Mart, carry "wee-wee pads", or sanitary pads that you can train your dog to relieve itself on. My grandmother's dog uses the bathroom this way and has never given us a problem. You might start by placing it outside and rewarding the dog when it eliminates on the pad. Eventually, you can bring it and the dogs inside. Since they already know that they are rewarded for eliminating on the pad, they may use it first. If not, be sure to scold the dog as soon as you see it is eliminating elsewhere.

Answer 7

obviously you love animals so here's the deal. It doesn't sound like they are puppies so you have to train yourself as well. Just like having a puppy you need to give them repetition and discipline. Every time they eat or drink they go to the bathroom so let them out. Keep them in one room at a time until you feel like they will listen to you better. If need be keep them on a lead while inside so when they don't listen you can grab the lead and tell them NO.Good Luck

Answer 8

You can put newspaper all over the floor and lets it choose where to go to the bathroom but try to keep them away from the doors or places u usually spend time in and you can get them a stuffed realistic dog to keep them company
Good Luck :)

Answer 9

Install a doggy door. My dogs knew right away what it was for. Believe me, they don't like the smell of it any more than we do. They want to go outside. No problems.Just a little drafty inside but weellll worth it as I'm limited on time like you.
