My precious pup is 6 months old and just this week, he decided to start doing his business where he is supposed to. I've heard it can take 6 months to a year. I think ours finally being trained had a lot to do with taking him out frequently, lots of praise and attention when he does good, and we moved to a new place that didn't have his wonderful doggy smell all over it. They love being told they did good and it is more effective than scolding. It takes lots and lots of patience and love. Having your dog around one who is potty trained will help a lot too. Ours spent a day and night around my parents dog and he came back a new pup since he was old enough to make the connection of "good potty" and "bad potty" from the other dog. Also it is good to put him on a schedule so he knows how long to hold it. I.E. we take him out before and after work, then twice later on at night (sometimes he only needs to go once at night).

I've enclosed some websites for you to read about how to train your dog. I have went through the house breaking of several dogs and it takes time and patience on your part . If you follow the steps on these websites you should See a difference within a month. I know it seems like it's taking for ever but realize it's a new experience for the dog as well as you.
Good luck.

ok, so which you're on the sting of adulthood... (Imho, real adulthood starts off at around 23, no longer in basic terms once you're criminal to smoke cigarettes) while you're the two effective with waiting till ending college then you do no longer want any help from us. there's no longer something incorrect with waiting. Hell, if greater human beings waited see you later to get married the divorce cost may well be lots decrease. while you're the two delicate with going forward and having intercourse till now marriage there's no longer something to stop you different than some religious ideals which you will or won't share, yet no longer something bodily or biologically incorrect with having intercourse at 19. in case you pick to have intercourse then i might rather propose getting on delivery administration and using condoms on the comparable time. no longer something like an unpredicted toddler to screw up your training plans.

Depends on how old the dog is. Are you being consistent? Many dogs do not even have full control over their bladder until they are 16 weeks old. If it is a small dog, one thing to NEVER DO is to pick it up when you take it outside. MAKE SURE THE DOG WALKS TO THE DOOR AND WALKS OUTSIDE EVERY TIME. This helps the dog to develop a map in his head of where to go. Also, if it's a boy, try neutering him. This reduces the amount of marking.

It can take a while. Keep up the training. Take the dog out every chance you get, once an hour if possible. Especially take them out after they wake up.

Keep at it - a month isn't really that long. If you are consistent your Poodle should get the hang of it quickly.
