Answer 1

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/aMQiH

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.

Potty training a dog is not that hard. I've raised dogs for about 13 years and what I can say through experience is that it helps if u start when they are puppies. When they are babies, place them in a large cardboard box and partition the sides (left side = blankets where puppy sleeps; right side = newspaper where doggie does her/his business). Even if you have a busy schedule, checkin up on the puppy from time to time is crucial! But animals have instincts and they will follow their nose and pee in the place they last took it (not on the same spot but close to it). It will definately not want to pee in their bed, trust me. But for your situation... your pet is an adult now but 2 yrs is not too bad. Try placing your pet in a confined area (bigger than a cardboard box because he's old enough now to feel entrapped) where he has a place to rest and go pee. And, each time he goes in the right place, give him a treat. Or, check out clicker training at petsmart. Its a great way to potty train your dogs as well as teach them tricks. Hope that helps. If all else fails... get the dog whisperer, hehe. Good luck!

Answer 3

Crate train her.. Get a crate not much bigger than the dog and keep the dog in the crate when you are sleeping, not home or unable to watch her. Take the dog outside to do her business immediately when you take her out of the crate. Take the dog outside to do her business immediately after eating or playing. When you have the dog out of the crate and are watching her look for signs that she is about to go (sniffing, circling) and take him outside. When she goes outside praise her. If she has an accident in the house and you witness it in a stern firm voice tell her "no potty outside" as you are taking her outside. If she has an accident an you do not witness it unfortunately there is nothing that you can do about it. Do not yell at the dog or hit her and do not rub her nose in her mess. Make sure you are consistent and persistent with the training. Always praise a lot when she goes outside.

Answer 4

Have you tried crate training? Some dogs can't be trained, hence the phrase - can't teach an old dog new tricks. I once adopted a ~2 year old dog, he never figure it out either.

Answer 5

Try using special pet pads and put the dog in a cage with it and it will go on the pad. When it uses the pad in the cage take the pad out and every time the dog goes on it reward with a treat. Until it goes on the pad every time.

Answer 6

you are in control, even though you don't think so, of her urges more than shem herself is. start by putting her on a schedule. it takes works. sometimes every hour you'll be out with her. but it's worth the trouble. each time you take her out, let her know how good she is by doing it outside - really priase her - good girl, good girl. it may take time, she's two years old now. but constant reinforcement and praise and your williness to take her out every hour or hour and half until it starts working, will let her stop doing in the house. she'll be coming to you to let you know, she'll want you to share in daily nature routine. work with her. listen and watch when she tells - or shows you - that she has to go. it will work. we've all been there and it takes time, patience and a lot of not sleeping on your part to make it work. just let her know each time how good she is for doing it outside. good luck. don't give up with her. it does eventually start working and she'll be annoying you constantly to take her when she has to go. don't get mad at her, just remember the days you wished that she would be trained to do it outside.

Answer 7

You need to give praise and pets when she goes outside. But when she goes inside be very stern. Also check and make sure she isn't hiding any pee spots anywhere. You just gotta keep at it...It took me 5 years to potty train one of my dogs! I wish you good luck!

Answer 8

You should use the training pads. What we did was move the pads over time closer and closer to the door till we moved it out side. Now when Zoey (my bitich) has to go she jumps on the door.

Answer 9

try a crate. crating is simple and effective. also give her regualarly scheduled outside times even though she might have just pooped. she needs to know what time is outside time.
