Answer 1

There's no such thing as a stubborn 5 month old. He obviously doesn't know what he's meant to be doing, and neither do you. What is your problem with crate training? He doesn't have to spend 12 hrs a day in it, unless you got a puppy and don't have the time for it. Crate training will make the whole process quicker and easier on the dog, and you'll actually be able to housebreak him rather than getting rid of him when you're tired of the puddles. Just take him outside every 30 mins or so until he goes, praise him, then bring him in. Don't mix bathroom time with playtime. Take him out as soon as you see him sniffing or circling, and about 10 mins after dinner. Putting him in a crate when you can't watch him keeps both him and your carpet safe, and gives him his own quiet spot.

You are not going to have ANY results if you dont crate train I am sorry to say. Here is what I would do and it is not MEAN to crate train it is just about giving boundarys to the dog. Email me if you have any questions. I have done this many times!

I would just use the crate at night. It is not necessary to contain your puppy when you have a watchful eye on it. I would suggest a baby gate when you are gone and take them out before you leave and when you return.

I would set up a routine. Until your dogs catches onI would take him out every 1-2 hours. Make it the same time every day so the pup develops a routine. He will soon learn that they prefer to go outside, but when they don't know when the next time they get out is, the go on the floor. If you have a certain time they will wait for it.

One of the biggest mistakes people make when house training a dog is giving them full run of the house when they are gone. When you are gone, contain them. A crate is sufficient if it is only 2-4 hours, but I make a room for my puppys and put their crate, bowls and toys in there. You can also use an ex-pen Den, kitchen, bathroom, anywhere that has no carpet When I am gone I put the gate up, when it is night I close the crate door and leave them in the crate. When they eat they go into the room. I just give them a space to get away from the family and take a break. They really love it. When my first Shiba, Abby, was a pup I would go into the room to feed her or what not and she would run and see what I was doing. She was like a teenager telling me to get out of her room. It is so funny. She could care less what I was doing unless I was in her room and then she would run over and make sure I didn't mess it up... lol. Don't use this room as a time out when they are bad put them in a different room for a time out.

Even when they get to be around 7 months of age and can hold it at night I just put the baby gate up at night just to give them more space. I wouldn't leave your puppy alone in the whole house until they are aprox nine months. At nine months when you go to work maybe give them a bigger space but still not the whole house. Gradually give them more space until they can successfully stay home alone without an accident. Don't let them sleep outside of the room until they are 10 months of age. Always remember that even when they have it down, there will be a few mistakes. If you find that they are getting frequent again, don't get mad just go back to square one.

Any other questions you can email me or just post on here we are happy to help :)

It's very likely that your puppy is confused about what you expect of him. First the indoor pads, then the outdoor thing. Consistency is VERY important when training a puppy. You'll have to vigilent and take puppy outside frequently to get him to understand that going outside is what you expect. When he does do the job outside, praise a ton and offer a yummy soft treat for doing good. He'll eventually get it. Some pups take longer than others to properly potty train. My Doxie came from our breeder at 4 months, fully trained and hasn't had any kind of accident in 7 years, but not all dogs learn that young. Some are closer to a year and more. When you do catch puppy in the act inside, in a loud voice say "Outside" and immediately take him out to finish his business. Rubbing noses in the soiling does NO GOOD, but surprising him in the act and taking him to the proper spot will. It also does no good to address a mess after the puppy has already moved on from it (i.e. not caught "in the act"). They have short memories and won't understand what you expect if you punish after the fact.

I know you don't like the idea of crate training, but honestly, it's a really good way to potty train and protect your puppy. I'm not a big fan of crates either, but there are things in my home I'd like to keep from being ruined and so I use the crate for the first year or two. My American Eskimo was a destructive chewer until the age of 3 yrs, so I had to crate her until that age. Since then, the crate has been retired and she's now 12 with no issues. So even tho you don't like them, maybe consider it for a temporary measure to assist you in the potty training process. If you permit your puppy to have access to a place inside your home to "go" when you aren't right there to watch him, it will seriously take you that much longer to teach him to potty train properly.

Make sure you have a schedule for feeding, play, and potty breaks. Take him out and give him up to 10 minutes to eliminate. If he doesn't, bring him in and either confine him or keep him leashed next to you. Take him out again in about 20 minutes or when he shows signs of needing to eliminate, which ever is first.

Once he does go outside, give him lots of praise and a small treat or two. You can also then stay out and go for a longer walk and play with him. Teach him he doesn't get these fun activities unless he takes care of business first.

Preventing accidents can not be under emphasized. The more times he is able to eliminate indoors, the more difficult it is going to be to teach him to go outdoors. Watch him like a hawk or keep him confined when he is inside. I honestly don't understand why people are so against crates. Babies are put in playpens and cribs to protect them; the crate is the same thing for dogs. If you insist on not using one, though, you need to get a baby gate or x-pen and keep him in one small area when you can't watch him. Housetraining will easily take twice as long if you don't work hard to prevent accidents.

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/aMQkr

Answer 6

Dog are den animals and that is what a crate is to them. Crate training is probably the easiest and best way to house train a dog. Most dogs do not like to soil in their den (crate) so they will hold it as long as they can until they are let out.

The crate is a safe place to keep your dog out of trouble when you can't keep a constant eye on him. You could be reading a book and next thing you know your pup chewed through a power cord and electricuted himself.

Answer 7

Why do you not want to crate train? If you do it right your puppy will love the crate. We leave the door open on ours and our puppy will crawl in just to nap. Humans consider it a cage. Puppies consider it a secure den.

Answer 8

Depending at the age of the dog is how most of the time you must take him out. Rubbing his nostril in it is going to tramatize the dog, it is larger to clap your palms to interupt him and inform him no. First of all they're by and large informed via addiction. You must decide upon distinct occasions to take the dog out. For instance each four hours. Do identical hours daily, get up eight:30 then 12:30 then four:30 and so forth until mattress time in which dog must be crated at night time whilst you pass to mattress. Second, leash your puppy and stroll him/her out the identical door and stroll dog to the identical spot at any time when. Third if the dog makes a multitude within the condo and also you seize it, clap your palms to startle it and say no, then take the mess external to the discipline you stroll dog to so he's going to odor it subsequent time. As your dog will get used to the time table and because it a while you'll unfold out the days extra like to five-6 hours. It would possibly take somewhat even as for it to end up informed however you'll see outcome. The more thing I advise is whilst you leash up dog and are approximately to take it external you are saying a command of types, for instance "Go external" or anything you decide upon. This will support later while the dog would possibly arise to you and you'll ask. The intent you are taking them out the identical door is dog lay in entrance of that door to can help you are aware of it demands to move out. I wish this is helping, be sufferer, they do study. You might additionally purchase dog pads that has the smell on it already and location it external in which you stroll him. Since he's a male he's going to wish to place his possess smell at the pad. After a even as he's going to get the proposal.

Every time the dog goes inside just beat the ever living crap out of it and rub its snout in the soiled area, then violently throw the dog outside. Even the stupidest of dogs will eventually catch on.
