Question

she is normally outside and sleeps in her kennell very well, but everytime I let her in she wee's and poops,
does anyone know some training tips to stop her doing this????
Thanks

Answer 1

Routine is the most important aspect of training. From the beginning, feed 4 times per day, at the same times, and put the bowl up in 5 minutes, or when finished.

A puppy will need to go just minutes after eating, so whisk her outside, and stay with her until she 'goes'..Give her lots of praise when she does her job, play a few minutes, and come back in..

If you can put down a bag of sand, from a garden center, it will give her a good place to go, so you can kind of aim her there, and not just all over your yard..

After the first day, she should only need to go poop after eating, and perhaps at bedtime..

However, she will need water down at all times, and need to pee frequently..so, outside every other hour for that..and keep a close eye on her..she will need to go during active play, and every time she wakes from a nap..If you watch her, you will see her acting restless, and sniffing the floor, etc when she needs to go..at first, peeing may be just a matter of pausing, and uh-oh, there it is..She won't even be aware...So its important to never scold her for peeing...this is what makes traumatized pups that refuse to pee outside, or try to hide it in the house..as they get scolded for it, and it becomes a traumatic event..
Keep the product, Nature's Miracle, on hand, for instant cleaning of pee spots...or ask your pet supply which enzyme cleaner they recommend..

Puppies physiology only allows them to hold pee for about 1 hour per month of age...so expecting any more is unrealistic..a good reason for a playpen at night..She may hold it through the night, but is likely to need to pee at least once during the night..You can remove the water a couple of hours before bedtime..

By following a routine, and being ever watchful for the first few days, you can have her petty well trained in just a couple of weeks..

I house-train all of my pups before they every leave my home, and I do it an entire litter at a time..it normally takes about 4-5 days, with very few accidents..
But, if you hang a little bell on the door, and show her you are ringing the bell each time you take her out, she is likely to begin ringing the bell when she needs to go..Just be very vigilant, and yet stay relaxed..an accident doesn't mean failure..
Remember, it takes forever to potty train a human baby, and it is so nice that puppies can learn it so much faster, but they are still allowed to be babies, and don't deserve to be stressed about the training...
If you have important areas to keep clean, just keep her away from those areas until she is a bit older..

I recommend using a harness for the walking and leash training, as it is less frightening and stressful..eventually, as trust is developed, you can switch to a collar..but a soft harness takes the fear away from the beginning.

If you do a little research you will find that most people say a dog cannot be truly house trained until they are 4months old. With our puppy we put her out if she goes to the bathroom she gets to play for about 15 minutes then goes into her cage for up to 45 minutes. The outside again. House training a puppy is a very time intense process that requires patience. That's why a lot of puppies end up the pound. With our puppy the crate training only lasted about 3 days. She got very upset when we put her in the crate and would go everywhere out of anxiety. So I came up with another solution. She it on her leash which is attached to the door handle in the kitchen (door leads to garage) The kitchen is tiled so if she does have an accident it's easy to cleanup. this works well for us because we have an open floor plan so she is still in the middle of it all but not on the carpet. I still have to let her out about every hour and she can't make it through the night without going but she's getting better.

Answer 3

To be truthful, an 8 week old puppy should not be expected to be trained, or even half trained. At that age she needs to be in the house with you. She's probably so excited she gets to come in and be with you that she loses control right away.

The best method is crating. Keep her indoors. Have her crate set up at night with a blanket or towel for bedding and a toy.
Take her outside to go potty. It can take some time, so be patient. When she does go, praise her in a higher happy voice, what a good girl!! Potty outside! (Make it seem like a big party!)

Then she has earned some playtime. It's probable she will go again in 10 minutes, but she's just a baby so be patient.
After 30 minutes of playtime have her go back in her crate for an hour or so, then go get her, pick her up right away from her crate and carry her outside and start the whole process over again.

At night, take her outside around midnight and then get up at 5 or 6 am to take her out, have breakfast, etc. After breakfast they usually need to do the poo, so back outside! Rember to praise her when she does it right. Do not scold her at this age if she makes mistakes.

Crating is a great training method. Have her in there whenever you are gone or can't supervise her. It will be her safe spot where she can feel secure and not be scared. If she's outside at 8 weeks old you are setting her up for emotional problems. They absolutely need their owners constant contact at 8 weeks, they are still learning to interact with others.
She shouldn't be outside until at least one year old. And boy, I"m really against any outdoor dogs, I think dogs always do best and thrive when with their owners. They are companions and deserve the best we have to offer them, our love and affection and devotion. They give it to us freely!

If you stay consistent with your potty training then you will see real results at around 4 months of age, and hopefully complete training at 7-9 months. She can't be expected to be trained at 8 weeks. So, start the training now and I wish you good luck.

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/aMQoj

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 5

Are you crating her in small intervals of time? Try starting with a 10 min interval and work your way up from there. Also put her crate in an out of the way location w/maybe a blanket covering up 2 of the sides so that there are less distractions for her. Make it a positive experience for her by giving her a toy and praising her when the time is up for her to be let out. Give her a treat when she does it with out howling. Do not yell at her while she is howling in the crate as it could only provoke her to do it more. Good luck! ps huskies will howl anyways it seems to be part of their nature!

Answer 6

One tip is to catch her in the act. When cats and dogs are startled, they will remember it. If you catch her, don't yell, but in a loud tone of voice, tell her "NO." Then immediately bring her outside and show her where she is supposed to go. You can also try positive reinforcement, which is a type of training where you reward her when she goes to the bathroom outside / not in the house. Pet her, say "good girl," give her a treat, give her a toy, etc. Keep at it. You have to be consistant otherwise it won't work. And one thing, never hit her. Especially since dogs have a "fear period" when they are puppies.

Patience is the key!

Answer 7

Pups tend to do their thing 5 to 10 minutes after aeating as it stimulate their underdeveloped gastro intestinal tract to further intestinal peristalsis( thats intestinal movt) after eating.You would normally notice them going around in circles when theyre about to poop... You need the help of everyone in the house ( everyone should do it) until shes trained already to put her in the place where you want her to poo.Wether it be the newspaper or the soil outside or the neighbors grass nextdoor... although i dont suggest that. Before you know it she would associate the feel of the ground shes on to defecating and will eventually look for that place everytime she needs to go.

Answer 8

you have to take him out side often & say do wets (or what ever )
& you walk around with him until he does a wee or the other & then praise him up so well & pat him etc
you will need to do this until he fully understands this
you can't just do it once & expect a little dog to learn it that quick
it all takes patience
my doggies all learnt that

Answer 9

Sell your house. Living outside will prevent this problem.

Haha. Woo. I made a funny.

Crate training works, though I dislike it. This question is asked a lot, so you can probably find the answer in one of those threads, or google Dog House Training. The info is available readily.

Answer 10

There are a few real keys to dog training, whether you are trying to train your dog to come when called, sit, stop barking or any other behavior. Understanding their importance is critical to achieving rapid results that are long lasting and help develop the bond between you and your dog. Learn more http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?H5gs

The first is simple; you must win your dogs mind. If you don’t achieve this first then you will be struggling the all the way. When I talk about winning your dogs mind what I really mean is that your dog looks to you for all the decisions. Before you do anything else watch one of the amazing video sites that show you the 5 Golden rules to establishing yourself as the pack leader. If you aren’t putting these in place then you are setting yourself up to fail. Just at the crucial point where you really want your dog to listen they will go and do their own thing. For sure your dog may play ball occasionally or even most of the time, you may even have a dog that is obedient 99% of the time, however if you want a dog who always listens to you and does as you ask then you need to win your dogs mind.

The second key to success is to motivate your dog. It is really important that you discover what it is that your dog enjoys both in terms of exercise and play but also in terms of a reward. If you can make the experience enjoyable then you will both achieve more and look forward to training.

Some dogs love to fetch, others love agility, and other dogs simply love obedience training, or swimming out into water and retrieve. At least to start with find out what your dogs love is and help them develop this, what I am saying is work with your dog. The other point to recognize is to make training enjoyable reward your dog.
