When you want to potty train you dog and do it right it will take a little time. but it is worth it!
First, when a dog is a puppy all it will want to do is eat and drink even if it is not hungry, so you need to monitor when you feed and give your dog water! When you feed you dog you should know that in 15 to 30 minutes it is going to have to poop or pee, so you take it out side and us one word like "potty" and you keep saying it and when he goes give him a reward like "good boy"
Second when your dog goes to the bathroom in the house clean it with a special pet remover so the scent dont hang around(soap or regular cleaner wont cut it) because the dog will smell his old urine and think he can go potty there.

Watch you dog all the time and try to catch him going to the bathroom in the house so you can SCREAM "NO" i know you might thinks its mean but you want to scare you dog so it really sticks with him, and after that scream run him out side while you clean up the mess.

Hope this helps

Answer 4

Okay, please don't listen to the person that told you to scream at it. What you do is get a crate or block off a room (like a kitchen or bathroom.) When the puppy doesn't go outside, put it in the crate or room for ten minutes then take it back outside. Keep doing that till she goes outside. If she goes outside and then does it again when she comes in, do the same. Put her in the room or crate for ten minutes and take her out again. She doesn't get free reign of the house till she does all of her business outside. Also, check out Petsmart. They have free Potty training classes.

Answer 5

What has always worked for me is understanding that you need to "dog" your puppy. This means during the day and night. Even in the snow! Take your puppy out anytime they look concerned or anxious. Keep them contained at night in a place that is comfortable for you in case of an accident, but be willing to get up at any time and take them outside. When you see them squat, you have waited too long. Anticipate and take them frequently to a spot you want them to relieve themselves. Take them outside five minutes after feeding. After a couple of days, they will get it. Small investment for a lifetime of pleasure and companionship with them.

Answer 6

Depending on who you talk to, they will tell you to not rub their face in it. I can tell you that with most puppies, it takes almost a year to have no more accidents!! My husband and I decided that we were going to punish our puppy when she went potty inside and after we did that she only had two more accidents. Our puppy is a very timid breed (half mini sheltie and half papillion). We were very afraid that punishing her would make her timid, but we don't think it did. You can ask your vet how he/she feels about this method, but I think it works and will not effect your relationship with your puppy. Your puppy needs to respect you so be firm. Also show him or her love and praise after going outside. I wish you the best of luck.

Answer 7

As soon as the dog wakes on the morning take it outside, stay with it until it has gone to the toilet. You will be telling the dog to go pee-pee, and you will praise the dog, (perhaps give it a small treat) immediately it has done its business. The same goes straight after feeding. You will need to spray the floor/carpet in a mixture of water and white vinegar. It won't stain.

Answer 8

my mom spanked her dog with a news paper and said no!!!! so he stopped eventually. use puppy pads also where it usually goes.
