Everytime I take her outside to my backyard and get her to pee, she'd just mess around and play with the plants and rocks in my backyard. She'd occasionally sniff around and stop playing which makes me think that she's going to pee, but then she gets back to playing and messing around. I only got her to pee once before. She's 2-3 months old. HOW TO POTTY TRAIN HER? I want to get her not to pee in the house and the only place to pee is on GRASS
pls help

First, I hope you are not paper training her. That is the worst and longer way to housebreak your dog. She will chase things and sniff all over the place because this is all new to her. Remember when you were a child and you discovered all kinds of neat things? That is the same way your dog is reacting to everything around her when she's outside. Keep a strict schedule. Take her out first thing in the morning, right after a meal, or if she gets excited. It will take alot of patience to get her to related "out" and "potty". When you take her outside, say "let's go potty" or "time to go out". What I tried with my dog is if there was a mess(urine) in the house i would try to mop it up in a paper towel and squeeze it outside to get her scent out there. Crating your dog can help also, if you don't do it already. It's not cruel, it is a good thing and my dog loves her crate. Don't get discouraged or frustrated or scold (or put her nose in the mess, she won't understand) if she doesn't get it right away, it could take up to a year, depending on the training and the dog.

Most puppies do not get the potty training concept until they are about 5 months old, when they actually realize they can control what they need to do. Some dogs 'get this' sooner. Take her out about 1/2 hour after meals or big drinks and as soon as you can upon waking from her naps. If you take her out and she does not go, bring her back in and either crate her (not as punishment just to confine her) or confine her somehow for about 5-10 minutes then take her out again. (Watch her, if she circles just before she goes then that is your cue to get her out even sooner) If she is playful (and Pugs ARE) she may play for a good 20 minutes or more before she goes so make sure you are giving her plenty of play time to burn off her energy between pottie breaks. Reward her with a verbal "good girl, good pottey' when she does go. Be persistant and consistant don't faulter even for a second! it will pay off in the end.

Don't hit your dog with a roll of paper towels. Don't hit your dog with anything. You will only make a timid dog that will sneak around and hid from you. Take your time training her. Pick your spot outside that you want her to go potty at and show it to her. Call it something like "Potty" and every time you take her there say potty. Take her there first thing in the morning, right after she eats, right after she sleeps, right after she plays, you get the idea. If she has an accident inside don't rub her nose in it. Just clean it up.
Here is a blog post that may help you:

Pugs, especially female pugs, are VERY stubborn especially about potty training. Be consistent and lavish her with positive praise when she gets it right. Expect it to take at least 6 months, maybe a year for girly pugs. Just be patient and do not give her run of the house until you can trust her. Crate training will help, too. Good luck & congrats on your new fur-baby!

Clean the discipline the place the canine has dirty with a product made to collapse the scent. Pet retailers sell this. Take her out each hour AND every time you detect that she is sniffing the floor and/ or circling. Supervise her intently and opt for her up as quickly as you see this. Take her to an outside potty spot and say whatever like "in finding Your Spot" or "Take a smash". If she tries to move again inside, circle her again around to the field you want her to head potty at. Repeat, repeat, repeat until she goes, even though it is just a bit dribble. Take her again inside of and detect for indicators she could also be about to have an accident and take her out. Get a kennel cab which should handiest be giant enough for her to face and switch round in when she can be full grown. Don't put bedding in it or water and food but that you could put a Kong or other bite toy in there with her. This is not punishment and on no account put her in it angrily. That is an support to potty coaching considering dogs do not prefer to soil where they sleep. But in case you have bedding in there or a towel or pad, she is going to seemingly go on it and then shove it aside. That is why I say nothing in there to begin. Be definite that she goes to her potty spot as quickly as she comes out and simply earlier than getting in. Use the Kennel Cab at any time when you're unable to supervise her whilst she is coaching, however do not go away her in there for more than a few hrs at most besides for in a single day. Additionally, if she is peeing very more often than not, see should you realize if she has any bit of discharge or if the pee has a robust smell considering she could have a urinary tract or bladder illness. Normally have a lot of water for her to drink when she is not within the cab. Domestic dogs develop rapid and so do their bladders and she's going to hold it higher and longer actual soon.

We have 2 labradors, an 18 month old and a 8 week old, and after our oldest dog, we leart alot. With him we use to put news paper down - big mistake. You want to teach him to go out side not in. With our 8 week old pup, from day one I put him out side to go, we have only had him for one week and in that week, other than the first day, he only had 2 small accidents.
My advise is put him outside, dont go out with him or he will want to play. Keep an eye on him, but try to make sure he cant see you or he wont go. Leave him out there until he goes or for 10 minutes if he doesnt. If he did not go, put him out in a futher 10 mins. Keep repeating until he goes. Then when he does give him plenty of fuss and a small treat.
If he has an accident in the house, then if you see him doing it, pick him up and put him out side for ten minutes. Dont do this if you find wee/poo but did not see him do it as he wont know why you have put him out side.
You will get to notice when he needs the toilet, ie he may be sniffing around etc. if you think he may go put him out side.
Just make sure you put him out regulary, as small pup's can not control when they need to go.
I do the following... I put him out after he has been asleep, after he has been playing, after he has his dinner (Note: puppys will usually go for a poo 15-20 minutes after eatting) so put him out then to. And times in between as well.
Soon he will get use to it. Its not cruel its better for him., and you and your carpet ha.
My oldest dog was not trained until nearly a year old due to us trying to do the newp paper thing. But my 8 week old now goes out all the. It seems cruel as its raining today, and he is so small, but it is defo working. It takes a while, and its hard work, but its worth it in the end.
good luck x

Don't take her in the house until she pees and poops because my dog does that. He have my walk around half the neighborhood! And everytime she does pee praise her! Don forget cause thats really important.
