Question

i have used special sprays to make him pee at a specific spot, i have yielled at him , tapped him on the butt after doing it.. he also goes out in the yard many times but chooses to do it in the house... what else can i do?

Answer 1

First off never tap or spank your animal. It will break trust between you and your pet. I spanked my Yorkie once b/c she crossed the street, and for a week after that anytime I would pick her up she would squat down as if I was going to hurt her. You have to get all old urine stains cleaned. Don't use any cleaners containing ammonia it makes it worse. If you have carpets, steam clean them and use pet safe cleaner. A dog will repeatedly return to anywhere he can still smell urine. Once everything is cleaned, get some sort of puppy pad for indoors.Pick an appropriate spot to put it and always put it there. As soon as you put it down, put him on it so he can sniff it. You need to take him out frequently to to relieve himself, and mark it with a que like "go potty" Every time he relieves himself outside reward him with a treat, and some love and praise. When he relieves himself inside, not on the pad, tell him no bad boy/girl, and take him to the pad. do this only if you catch him in the act, otherwise he won't know what he did. If you don't catch him simply clean it up with an ammonia free cleaner, and watch him closer next time. If he does go on the pad, reward and praise him. If you keep this up strictly, you will see an improvement in a couple of days, give it a month and you will have a potty trained pup. Be strict and don't slip up, it may be hard at first but it will get better. Your pup will learn that if he goes in the right place then he will get rewarded and get love from you. One more thing if it is a male, neutering will help, males do this in excitement, fear, and also to mark territory.

DrDocaj is right on the money. Crate training is the answer here. Until your dog learns to eliminate outdoors, his home is the crate. Your dog cannot be loose in the house until you're positive there won't be any mistakes. I suggest if you are going to let the dog out of his crate before he's potty trained that you keep him on a leash at all times (which allows you to control his every move, and also reminds you to keep an eye on the pup).

Your consistency with the training is key to your dog's success. This dog should be taken outside every hour to eliminate until you get him on a schedule.

Also, feed him on a schedule. Don't let the animal free feed. Feed him at the same time everyday so you'll know when he's going to need to do big business.

Good luck!

Thier are doggy diapers called seasonals. You could add a pany liner for more protection or fit him with a sock. You should give jhim one specif place in the house where it is ok to pee. use pee pads there. Just in case you are missing his potty signals. put him outside when it is time to potty. especially after he eats drinks gets excited wakes form sleep or a nap or after a bath. (Once dry it's cold out there)
soME USE SQUIRT BOTTLES AS A FORM of dicipline. I think it works great.
IF he is a masculin marker. change his sleeping arrangement every night. A different spot for example. feed him only after you have eaten and at different times. SHow him htat you are the boss you regulate the rules. Not him.

It took a little over a month for me to potty train my yorkie. You have to be consistent! I took her out every time she woke up, after she ate, after she played and, in general, about every hour. You can't allow him to roam freely though your house, when my pup was wandering the house, I was standing right over her. When you can't watch him 100%, he needs to be in a crate. You also need to make sure you clean the spots that he's gone in the house with a cleaner that will eliminate pet smells... even if you can't smell it, believe me, he can! They will keep going back to their 'potty spots' if they aren't cleaned well. If you catch him in the act, all you need is a firm "NO!", pick him up and take him outside. DO NOT rub his nose in it, spank him or whatever you said you do. And if you stumble upon some 'treats' after your dog has done the deed, just clean it up, there is no point in disciplining him after the fact, he won't have any idea why he's in trouble. Just remember small dogs take a bit longer and YOU have to be consistent! Good luck!

maximum Indians don't have civic sennse, and don't care lots approximately hygiene.So in spite of awreness marketing campaign, they are going to in no way depart the previous habit.properly, I stay in a city in India the place people stay in palatial homes with 4 bogs, yet yet some low point worker's will nevertheless urinate or maybe **** interior the night purely a block away.

Answer 6

I use a diluted vinegar solution. about 1/4 cup to 12oz of water. Dogs dont like the smell of vinegar.. (neither do I...lol) Spray it on the area all ready urinated on. let it dry. Have you tried kennel training? I kennel train my Silky Terrier. make sure you get one big enough for your dog to stand up in and turn around. They work wonders for potty training. Good luck

Answer 7

Sounds crazy but it works!!!

Wrap an ace bandage around him. Take it off when he goes outside and put it back on when he is in the house. He won't want to pee on himself.


Little dogs are a pain to housebreak neutering usually helps.

Answer 8

If the dog is young they tend to do that. I have three dogs. But don't worry they will grow out of it. But just don't use a kennel or a crate. I am against them.

Answer 9

The sort of MUTT/MONGREL you have has NOTHING to do w/your LACK of housebreaking skills!!!

***CRATE*** the little MUTT when it's not under *DIRECT* supervision!!!!!
