She is just over a year old and gets so excited at bedtime cause she always gets a treat, so when she is let out for her last wee before bed she generally runs to the bottom of the garden and then comes straight back without peeing. She is currently in season so the last few days have been really bad....but even when she is not in season she still has occasional accidents (about 2/3 times a wee)

stop giving her a treat, she needs to understand that this is something that is naughty in the house, if she wee's out side and you give her a treat she will think that its ok anywhere. reward her in the morning if she hasnt wee'd, if she has scold her.

We have a 4 month puppy and tried this and it worked. The last person to go to be at night takes her out before they go to bed and we stay outside with her until she does her business. Most nights it is just a few moments. Then the first person to get up in the morning takes her out. We have been doing this since we got her about 2 months ago and after the first week we have had no problems. When the kids get home from school and homework is done they take her for a good long walk and then we feed her when we eat and take her out after she is done eating as well. She has developed her own schedule per say of when she goes based upon when we take her out. You may also want to try and kennel train her. Dogs will not go to the bathroom in the same place that they lay. We keep her in the kennel during the day while we are gone, and have come home to a clean cage everyday. The first person home just has to let her out as soon as they get home. Good Luck...

Make sure that she stays outside until she does her business. This will take a little patients for her to understand what you want her to do, but she will eventually get the point. Don't give her the treat, or even let her back in the house, until she has done her business outside. You might even have to tell her a few times each night to "go pee' and point to where she normally does pee while outside. This will give her incentive to figure out what it is you are trying to teach her to do at night. I also suggest that you put her in a dog cage at night, this will also stop her from peeing during the night-most dogs will not pee where they sleep. A wire-framed cage will do, just something to keep her confined for the night while you are sleeping. Be sure to put her out right after waking up though, or accidents will occur. Good luck.

You have to stay in the garden with her until she has a wee, I have a 10 month old GSD in her first season and I take her in the back garden and walk around with her until she goes, I don't generally have to stay out long as she is trained to go on command, you can't just leave her to it! apart from anything else you SHOULD be with her because she is in season, what if a dog jumped over the fence and mated with her?

My girl is now 12 last thing at night I take her for a walk.When we get back she gets a treat.She also as a drink of water & does not
wee in the house.I would not stop her treat or giving her water.
While she is in season stand out the back with her untill she has a wee then give her plenty of cuddles believe me it will work.

In time she will associate the back garden with peeing and i would give her treat a bit earlier..shes a pup i had roughly the same prob with peeing but after a couple of months she started to go to the back door when she wanted a pee.

When the dog comes running back to you dont go back inside!!
Stay out there for 10-15 minutes untill he/she does one and then let he/she come back in and maybe make sure that he/she doesnt drink for a bit befor bed time!!

Simple stop giving her a treat at bedtime and like small children who are going through toilet training give her a last drink at about six.

my dog usely get 2 biscuits a night, and he goes for a wee before bedtime, but if he needs to go in the middle of the night, he just needs to wake one of us up, and we let him out for 5-10mins while he goes to the toilet,
i dont think you can stop her going to the toilet, she might pee all over the floor, if she needs to go.

take her for a walk rather than just letting her out in the garden and don't reward her unless she wees. if you can't walk her at night make sure you stay with her until she wees
