Is there any way to speed up my dog's bathroom break outside?

Question

My dog is a puggle (1/2 pug, 1/2 beagle) and she sniffs everything everywhere, everytime.
Sometimes it's freezing outside when we take her outside to do her duties and she is more interested in sniffing a new blade of grass than doing her business....
Is there any way to speed up the pee pee process?
We stay on the porch and say, "hurry up" along with some other choice phrases, but she seems uninterested in what we have to say.
She will speed up the process if I get real aggravated and walk towards her through the wet grass, which I was trying to avoid doing. Then she will only take a couple minutes longer, (if there aren't any new and exciting smells to investigate) and finally do her business because she knows Im mad.
Is there any way to speed up this process and keep my feet dry at the same time...?

Answer 1

It's always good , when they are pups, to teach them to go on command. It really comes in handy. You can search how to teach a dog to go on command.

Answer 2

One suggestion might be to take your dog out for her potty breaks on a leash, with a pocketful of treats. When you get out there, say, "Go potty" or something similar, and when she does, give her a treat. She will start to learn that when you tell her to go, and she does, she will be rewarded. Once she's done her business, then you can take the leash off and play with her, or keep the leash on, and take her for a walk, making sure to let her explore her surroundings.

One thing to remember is that your dog is half beagle- which means she's a hound dog. This type of dog is very interested in scents and, often, hounds cannot be let off leash in an unfenced area, since they will take off after any interesting smell that they find. You have to let her do this sometimes, or she will be missing a very large part of what she was bred to do.

And finally, I wouldn't recommend scaring or intimidating your dog into doing her business. This may lead to potty time being a frightening thing for her, and make your (and her) problems even worse.

Good luck!

I just read that to get the dog to do her business sooner, you have to make a reward for doing it right away. Paul Owens in his non-violent dog training book says to take the dog out for 10 minutes. Take her to her spot, and use the potty word you've chosen "hurry up" or whatever. Keep it the same though, and don't just repeat over and over again. Say "hurry up" once and then wait a good minute before saying it again.

If she doesn't go in 10 minutes, put her on her leash and bring her in. Try again in another 15 minutes.

Also, he says that if you take her potty and immediately upon returning inside, she's going into her crate or other safe room while you go to work, the dog will take longer to do her business. She knows you're staying with her long enough to go potty and then you're leaving. Prolonging the potty delays your leaving.

I notice that my Shih Poo fur-baby (mini poodle/shih tzu 6 months old) goes to the bathroom outside much quicker if I play with her immediately before I take her out. All the movement and exercise gets it all working.

Is she getting enough exercise? Take her for a walk first. When people don't exercise, their insides don't work as good either.

Does she ask to go out or is she going out at your convenience? Do you have an idea of when she needs to go or how do you judge when you take her out?

If i stand on the porch like you do, she doesn't venture far enough to go but if I stand in the yard, she will check out more area to find a good "pee pee" spot. If she's a pup, treat her with respect for being only a youngster and go stand in the yard with her. She might be timid. Even big leaves blowing by makes my little Rosie run back in the house if she's out there by herself.

I also tell her what a great girl she is when she goes one or two. And also, she knows that to get in Grandma's house, she has to go pee pee or poo poo first. I say "Do you want to go to Grandma's house? Well, go pee pee first".

Even with exercise and praise, sometimes you can't make them hurry up as the outside is so exciting.

canines do no longer care approximately interior/outdoors. doggies care if their complication-loose desires for foodstuff, water, refuge, human interaction, psychological and actual stimulation are being met. could you certainly have a "farm" (now no longer basically stay interior the rustic) all and distinctive could be exterior with the canines virtually all of daily. below those stipulations, an "outdoors maximum precious" canines will do only outstanding. in case you basically stay interior the rustic, and an "outdoors canines" will best get a speedy puppy as you bypass to paintings interior the morning and while you come at evening time and in the different case be left alongside, the canines is in all probability no longer intense-high quality. One compromise is to permit the canines into basically some rooms interior the place of abode - the mudroom and kitchen or the mudroom and the casual kin room, as an occasion - so as that there need no longer be canines hair everywhere regardless of the undeniable fact that the canines gets the "adult adult males and girls time" that it desires. quite if the canines is a factor Australian Shepherd, those doggies are extraordinarily human beings-orientated and could shrivel up in the event that they're banished for any length of time. What was your reason in getting the canines interior the 1st place? Are you actively making plans to paintings the canines (herding, and an astounding sort of others) on your "farm"? Or did you basically get it for a "puppy"? Or did you no longer plan that far forward and easily desire the complete element will be sure? A working canines will in all probability be getting its training and socialization desires met by potential of way of daily paintings and would usually do remarkable exterior, a puppy will without hassle be no longer stated and neglected and go through "out of sight out of mind" if left outdoors. could you are able to no longer come to a determination to giving this canines what she needs (whether or no longer indoors or outdoors) then please to discover an Australian Shepherd rescue NOW to take her. She would have a plenty extra useful probability of having to be attentive to a outstanding residing house in the past than she outgrows her canines cuteness.

Answer 6

Sometimes - dogs enjoy being outside and if in the past - you wisk her inside right after her doing her business - then she has learned to wait to have more fun outdoors. Start staying outside a little longer AFTER she goes to let her explore, or play ball, etc. Then she might start to go sooner since she knows the "fun" isn't over. Then on the cold days - you can get her in quicker.

Answer 7

She likes being outside. Sniffing is what they do. Maybe a dog is not the right pet for you.

Answer 8

Get her playing and running around. Alot of activity and excitement.

Answer 9

Why don't you find something to tie your dog up with, then you don't have to stand out there in the cold. Then your dog can be out there till it is ready to come in.
