help my puppy will not house train?

Question

i have a 9 week old puppy and i have tryed everything to house train her ive tryed paper taking her in back garden even puppy training mats she just keeps peeing and pooing everywhere in the house does anyone no what to do

Answer 1

Take her outside every hour, and make sure she pees every hour outside. Give her treats for peeing and praise her like she just won the lottery! Take her outside immediately after she wakes up, immediately after she eats or drinks, and immediately after play. Wake up at 4 in the morning for her to go pee, let her go pee right before you sleep, and first thing in the morning! Every time she goes outside make sure that she HAS to go pee, even if she doesn't want to!

To make her go pee, just stand outside and wait for her to go pee, even if it takes 30 minutes! Don't worry, she'll get it soon. They don't start becoming housebroken until 6 months! Trust me, my dog has peed and pooped A LOT when he was a pup, but now he's totally housebroken.

Just be patient, it takes months for the pup to learn. Try not to scold her for peeing inside the house. If you catch her in the act, take her outside immediately, even if she is still in the act! Let her finish outside. If you come home to a puddle, then soak it up with a paper towel, and put the paper towel outside, so it encourages her to pee outside!

Be patient!!!! :) And really, stick with one environment to let the pup go pee! Not "maybe I'll try outside this time, and then next time paper" STICK WITH ONE PLACE!!!!! NEVER EVER smack, slap, rub your dog's nose in it, or anything else if he makes an accident in the house. It will only take longer for him to be house trained! If you see your pup circling, and sniffing around the house, bring her outside immediately! Consider crate training the pup, read up on it! You might have to let her go potty in the middle of playing. Remember, he's ONLY 9 weeks! Give him some time! It took my dog until 7 months old to be housebroken!!!! Best of luck to you! The last thing you want is a pup in the shelter!

A nine week old puppy is a baby, a puppy is not an adult dog and as such shouldn't be expected to get this concept overnight; first, it is new to your home, another environment to learn; are you training for outside or mats? you can't do both and expect to have the pup know the differences; you need to take the pup out often, first early thing in the morning; feeding; then out again, etc; they will start to circle and sniff when they have to go ; you have to spend the time to take her out often, watch her signals, take her out, take her out , take her out. praise her when she goes; if you are in a room, your puppy needs to be with you and not allowed to wander unattended b/c that is an accident waiting to happen; you can't scold, hit, shake etc; can only prevent future accidents; many people will tell you crate training does this but crate training is just crate training not house training. Anyone that has a housebroken dog, did the work , invested the time, patience and understanding to have the end result of a great adult dog; a judge of how good your pup is, is how great of a trainer you are. 9 weeks is a baby , remember that and everything will follow with your training. Puppies can't hold it for long so don't expect them too

Answer 3

You expect miracles at 9 weeks old perhaps?? She has only just left her mum and litter mates!
Consistency is the key with house training a pup, you must take her out and stay with her at least hourly + after every meal, after every time she has a drink, when she wakes up, after playing and in between times as well, I have a 7 month old GSD b1tch who is completely house trained now but I still (when she wakes up) take her out in the garden saying 'GO WEE WEE's' in a high pitched squeaky voice that I always use when training puppies, (I only do it now to reinforce training a bit, she doesn't really need it now), they soon get used to the command you use for this. Don't ever rub her nose in any messes you find and never hit her with anything, just calmly clear up the mess, and continue with the regular outings to the garden, she will be clean before you know it!

Answer 4

at 3 months a puppy should be able to hold its bladder for 1 hour per every month it is old. so 3 months=3hrs 5months=5hrs until one year. Take it out right after it eats and every 30 minutes to an hour. Puppies don't sniff for a spot...they just go. Soon the puppy will learn where to go and you will start seeing a sniffing pattern start. This takes time a patients. Don't get mad at the puppy. Its just doing what it know to do. If you get mad and through it outside it will start to think that going out is a punishment, and not "ask" to go out. You can use the work NO to startle the pup but don't scold. What I have done was to hang a small Christmas bell down by the floor and when I take the pup out I ask "You want to go outside" and just before I put her out...I rang the bell. Took about a month but now, when she has to go out she uses her nose to ring the bell and I let her out....it's pretty cool.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aMQaX

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Answer 6

I have kennel trained my two puppies that are now 8 months old. Although they are the same age, one has caught on faster to being house trained than the other. Look for signs to when they have to go outside. One of my dogs goes to the door the other just stares at me very intently.
Here is the kennel process that I practice:
*The kennel should be no bigger than an area for them to stand up, turn around and lay down in.
*Any time that you will not be able to give the puppy your full attention put him in the kennel, when you are at work, during the night or when you leave the house for an errand.
*As soon as they come out of the kennel bring the puppy outside.
*When they do do their business outside (or wherever you are training them too) give them a treat and/or praise the puppy.
*Feed the puppy in the kennel occasionally to let him know that he is not being disciplined.
*Do not repremand or discipline the puppy if they have an accident in the house. This is taken as attention and may keep trying to do this later for attention from you.
For some dogs it takes 6 months to get a hold that outside is the place to go and not indoors, depending on the breed and the consistant training of the owner.

Good Luck!

Answer 7

She's only 9 weeks old, she can't be completely house trained yet anyways, but... Start with desinfecting your floors. Puppies decide on the place they go by smell. Then start again with the paper and taking her outdoors (you know, every time after she wakes up, eats, drinks, plays...) If she goes where you want her to, give her praise and reward. If she goes somewhere else, ignore her and disinfect that spot. Be patient, you'll be doing this for weeks and weeks yet! Good luck!

A well-trained dog makes everyone happy, including his owner. Take a little time training him, and you'll never regret it; you'll always have an obedient dog by your side. Find more https://tr.im/aIpsV

By their nature, dogs are pack animals with a well-defined social order. Through basic training, you need to consistently make sure your puppy understands that you are the leader, not him. So in teaching him the basic rules, you take on the role of pack leader.

To fit into the family circle, your dog must be taught to recognize his name and such commands as come, heel, lie down and sit.

Answer 9

You wouldn't leave a baby crawling around without a nappy on; your pup is far too young to be housetrained.
Plus you say you've tried everything; but you've tried too many different things in too short a time.
Learn about crate training. Put her comfy bed in a crate to prevent her from doing it all over the place.
On the hour every hour take her out to a specific toilet spot in the back yard and wait with her, reward her when she uses it.
Male sure the toilet spot is easy for her to see by marking it with planks or bricks. And keep it near the back door.

Its called 'target training' and it works.
Dogs have an instinct not to go in their own bed and even small pups will crawl from the nest, then crawl back in.
So you need to teach her where her bed is in your home, where the toilet is, and how to get from one to the other because she hasn't been there long enough to have learned the route.

Answer 10

of course she will get housetrained if you are doing it properly. Do not use paper in the house unless you WANT her to go in the house. She cannot understand that it is ok to go in the house sometimes and not at others. Take her outside (take not put) every hour. Stay with her and when she starts to go, use a word or phrase like "weewee, be quick," etc. Then praise her when she is finished If she goes in the house, ignore it and clean it up. If this happens it is YOUR fault for not watching her and taking her out.
Housetraining isn't rocket science and I haven't had a dog I could not housetrain within a week. It just takes time and lots of effort on your part. It would help if you mentioned what method and routine you are using so that someone can pinpoint where you are going wrong.

Never EVER slap, swat, smack or rub her nose in it.You will end up with her eating her sh1t trying to hide the evidence from you.

Answer 11

Find one way of house training her and stick to it. If you're persistent, she'll learn. Also, once she starts responding to the training, use a lot of positive reinforcement. When she sees that she's doing a good thing and is pleasing you, she'll be more eager to do it.
