Don't get so upset, this is very normal behaviour for a puppy.
Firstly, make sure you clean up any messes promptly to eliminate any smell.
Then, spend time with her; when you see her squat, take her outside. Also take her outside when it has been a few hours since her last poo, or when she just wakes up in the morning or before going to bed. When she goes outside, pet her and reward her. When she has an accident, don't get mad, don't rub her nose in it, just clean it up and take her outside. She'll get the hang of it eventually. Like children, they need to be gently "potty" trained, and stress / fear can make them have more accidents. Be calm, always be consistent in bringing her outside, and she'll be fine.

Take the dog out regularly. Try to be aware of the dog's needs and look for the dog's signals of when it needs to go out. Establish routines that the dog will get used to, and praise the dog when it pees outside. CRATE TRAINING!!! When a dog wakes up, the first thing it needs to do is relieve itself (just like most of us). If the dog sleeps in the crate, it will ask to be let out, rather than just going in the house. Paper training really is not a good permanent solution for most dogs. Go get a travelling crate, and make a nice comfy home for the dog, and train the dog to sleep there. The crate should not be used for punishment. When properly used, crate training will improve life for both you and your pet. Good luck!!

When the dog pee's on the paper, take the paper, and put it some place outside where you'd like the dog to pee. When you think the dog is ready, take the dog to the place that you have the paper. The dog should smell it, and start peeing there, and no longer in the house.. Good luck ~~~~

First of all the dog has been trained to go indoors. Now you have to retrain her to go outdoors. She will be confused at first because she was taught it wasokay to go inside. Be patient with her. Since she is older go with the 4 month rule. The first thing to remember about house training a puppy is there ability to hold themselves is limited. a rule of thumb is they can hold "it" usually 1 hour for each month of age. 2 months old = 2 hours, 3 months old = 3 hours, etc. when your puppy wakes up (morning, nap, whatever) the pup has to go, right then! take the pup out. when the pup eats or drinks, it has to go, take the pup out. after exercise (play), take the pup out. when the pup does it's thing outside praise it. a lot. tell the pup how good, how smart it is. you have to pay attention to the pups "looking for it's spot" behavior. when you see that behavior indoors, whisk the pup out. if you catch the pup in the act, simply tell it "NO!" and whisk it outside. if you find a puddle or pile after the fact, clean it up with an enzyme cleaner (pet food store) get a newspaper and hit.... yourself in the head and say "i should have been paying more attention" daytime training they get pretty fast. night time training is easier if you crate train the pup. also remember the one hour/one month rule. you will have to get up through the night to take the pup out. good luck

what you need to do is take him out as much as possible because dogs do not like to pee or pooh in the den (the home). What you need to do is when he does his business outside reward him and give him a treat and cuddle him and let him know he has pleased you. Remember, dogs want to please their owners because they like to be taught things.
If you need further help pls email me...I have 3 dogs and they are wonderful!

Everytime she pees or poops in the house, immediately rub her nose it in, then take her outside. Take her to an area where other dogs go. She'll naturally want to leave her mark, and reward her for going outside. She'll soon (very soon) get tired of having her nose rubbed in her own poop and will look forward to going outside.

this is something that is normal for a puppy. You shouldn't get so mad, but instead spend time training her.
When she starts going, put her outside, then reward her. Everytime you can get her to go outside, reward her.
