Answer 1

No offense but you completely misspelled the dog's breed: Shih-Tzu. People have been asking about how to house train their dog for weeks, even more since Christmas came around. You have to realize that house training takes anywhere from 6 to 7 months for a dog to fully be house trained. Even after that a dog is house trained after no accidents 8 weeks to be considered fully house trained.

To house train your dog you need to take your dog out daily, since your dog is smaller (Toy Dog) your dog will need to go out perhaps more than 3 times a day. If your dog is a puppy then your dog does not know how to hold it in that long and will need to relieve himself more than 3 times a day.

You should be taking your dog out in the morning after he eats, at night after he eats, before he goes to bed, and numerous times throughout the day. Everytime your dog goes out and pee/poop you should reward your dog with a treat so that he gets the idea that it's good to go outside.

You also need to establish a routine that your dog can get use to. My puppy when I got her stayed @ my boyfriend's house and then when I took her back to my apartment I had to train her again. Then we establish the one week here and the weekend there.

You should also try crate training. I heard it's very sucessful with some dogs (my dog isn't that sucessful with it). Purchase a crate and make it comfortable for your dog and put him in the crate @ night. Naturally your dog will start to hold in his pee/poop until the morning because he probably doesn't want to spend hours having poop/pee in his crate. In the morning after you take him out of the crate you need to immediately take him outside to
pee.

When you have your dog out you need to be aware of possible signs that your dog needs to go outside. My dog will become increasingly needed and cling to me, she will bark @ me, or she will run around in front of the door. If I don't take her out when she does one of these signs then she will simply pee on the floor or poop and it's my fault because she told me and I didn't take her out.

House taining as I said earlier is a long drawn out process and you have to be patient, understanding, and have time to do this with your dog. I had my dog for 3 months Jan 21 and she will be semi-house trianed with more time to go. I'm expecting her to be fully house trained by the time she's 1 year old.

Good Luck. Hope these tips helped.

Try feeding every 12 hours, good luck mine still isn't trained and he's 1 1/2 years, very weird little dogs!!! LOL They need a routine and try walking it more. I feed him when I get up then 12 hours later. Also could have bladder infection mine has recurring infections....Mine pees right in front of the doggie door!

Answer 4

Just a thought ..

Dogs like to bury things, right? I wonder if you could get a "kitty-litter box" and put one of his droppings in to give him the hint. Maybe he'd put one there himself just for the fun of burying it?
