Doggy training?

Question

What's the best feeding/walking schedule for a stubborn 6 month old dog that's recently gone into heat for the first time and gets easily distracted when I take her outside? Whenever I take her out she'll start to squat and then she'll raise back up half a second later and she'll continue this without peeing until she begs to come back inside where she promptly pees in the floor. She's even begun to refuse going on the puppy training pads. So, what's a good schedule?

Also, I'm not spaying her because she's a breeding dog.

Answer 1

Well you should use a methood.It is easy to train dogs to be potty trained if you know what you are doing.try keeping and one area when you are gone and cover the area with lots of newspapper.Make it puppy proof.Usally a small bathroom works best.When it use the bath room then where it goes at.Try to see if it goes the same place for a week if it does then move the rest of the news paper and keep that one down.start moving that one until you take it out of the house

Answer 2

Ok, get this straight, she is not a dog at 6 months, she is a puppy. She's doing a good job of training you.

1. Get a house (crate when you buy it at petco or petsmart). Keep the dog in the house at night, and for naps.
When you take the puppy out of the house, on a lead right away, take the dog immediately outside.

If the dog does not go right away, get a tennis ball and throw it and giver her some exercise. Many times after 3 throws, she will go right in the middle of playing with you. They are very easily distracted.

You can compare this to a baby under the age of 1, and is still in diapers.

2. If the dog does not go outside, when you come inside, put the pupply in the house (crate near the door) immediately. Close the door and walk away.

3. When the dog cries again, put the lead on and take the puppy immediately outside, again taking tennis balls with you for her exercise.

4. It may take 3 or 4 days, but she gets the idea that when she goes outside, she may have some freedome.
If she does not go outside, she goes back to her house with the door shut.

5. Sometimes it's also a reaction to the cold outside (just like when we get a reaction to the cold) and then coming back into a warm home, the dog feels like going again.

Remember she must learn to respect only 1 room at a time. After she's good in one room (only with you is she allowed to go into the second room.

6. Compare this to letting a baby (1 year to 2 years) roam around your home without a diaper.
Both are untrained babies.

7. Remember sometimes she must have outside exercise and not just going. It does help if you take her to the same spot all the time, and let her sniff that area so she gets the idea her territory is that spot.

8. Later when she's grown and you leave the door open, she will take naps on her own in her house if you make it her safe place with her toys in it and a small rug that she can't chew on or eat.

Please don't ever hit her as it doesn't work. Whoever said hit anything with a newspaper should first be hit with that same newspaper by a giant who is about 10 to 20 times bigger than the little one. Get the idea?
Put her back into the house and close the door while you clean up any mess. Sometimes they throw up also because they are sick, and again she needs to go back to her house while you clean up.

First of all get a crate. Second of all establish a schedule. At this age of 6 months she knows the difference between going out and doing it in the house. First thing in the morning, take the dog out to a predetermined spot ans stay there. No walking around no going places. Stay in one spot until she goes and when she does you give her more praise then you ever had before. feed her and give her water and then back to the same place. That will be her routine from now on. When you cannot watch her she will be in her crate. DO NOT under any circumstances let her out of that crate when she is barking or complaining. Same thing happens in the evening. Remember it takes 4-6 hours for water to pass and 6-8 hours for food to pass, so if you do not want to get up at 2 am to let her out do not feed her at 6pm. As far as spaying, do not do it until the dog is fully mature and that will not be until she is between 2-3 years old. She will be able to mature correctly and fill out to her genetic potential. Feed her the best dog food you can afford and good luck.

Answer 4

I was raised with all kinds of pets, including dogs. In the past, it was okay to drag the dog over to where it peed and bring its nose close to it and give it a little wrap across the nose while saying "BAD DOG"! This may not be politically correct now so I would suggest doing the same thing and trying something else like pouring some could water over its nose while you do it (BAD, BAD DOG!!!!). There's nothing worse than trampling over dog pee or poop in your home so make sure you train it fast and raise your voice or else your dog will never learn. While training, you may want to bring some biscuits with you; whenever, the dog does something you want it to learn (like peeing where it is suppose to outside), feed it a biscuit and say "GOOD DOG!" From my own experience, dogs are difficult to train but when trained properly are very good and faithful pets.

Answer 6

This is tough, but this may work:

taker her outside in the morning, and do not let her come in until you think she has finished her pee. If she walks in the house and pees, scold her, set her outside, and stand there for 3 minutes.

I don't know if you are having any problems with the feeding, but there is the pee helper. I am not sure though because my dog
was spayed so she has never gone into heat.

Happy Holidays! :-]

Answer 7

Are you crate training her? If not, I suggest looking in to it as it serves as an excellent obedience and training device. Don't forget that it's best to spay your female dog around this age! You won't have to deal with heat cycles that can soil your carpets and spayed females typically stay healthier and live longer than nonspayed females. Not to mention not having to worry about uterine or ovarian cancer, which means lower vet bills! Oh yeah, and spayed females have been shown to shed less fur! Good Luck!!

Answer 8

Please get your dog spayed as soon as she comes out of heat.
Dogs are not "stubborn". It sounds like someone has been chasing after your dog (and possibly yelling at her?) when she tries to pee. You need to make it clear to her that it's a great thing to pee outside. Here's a wbsite to help:

Before you are taking him into the huge vast world and all its distractions make sure you've gotten bought his whole trust. Read "The dog Listener" by way of Jan Fennell - then for those who take him to coaching courses he'll be a whole lot extra relaxed and inclined to take heed to you. Coaching classes are the icing on the cake.
