Well first of all congratulations on your new member of the family.Many people do not understand why their dog does not know what to do when taken outside. Just turning him loose in the back yard a few times a day is not the way to house train a dog. Merely taking him outside also does not mean that he knows what he is being taken outside for.

Housebreaking in theory is very simple. It is finding the means of preventing the puppy from doing his business in the house and only giving him the opportunity to do it outside. It also means that the dog leearns to communicate with you about going when told and letting you know when he has to go outside. A dog is an animal of habit and because he learns by association, if his training is consistent he will learn that there is no other place to relieve himself other than outdoors.

You need to take advantage of a very natural instinct of the dog-his desire to keep his sleeping quarters clean. You need to offer him a den in the form of a crate either wire or plastic. This becomes his bed that he cannot get out of. If the crate is the right size he will not soil in it. Puppies will not initially like it but within a few days they will accept it without a problem. A crate is also for your dogs protection and for your piece of mind unless you want him to mess in the house and chew up all of the things you work so hard for in life.

The question you need to ask yourself is would I rather get the dog used to the crate or clean up dog crap on my floor. An easy question to answer. Puppies do get over the fact that screaming will get them nowhere-as long as you ignore it do not take them out of the crate when they are yelling. Those dogs know that if they make enough noise they will be free to roam and mess whereever they want to. People who give in create their own problems.

When thinking of the size of the crate think small. Think den not condo. The use of too large a crate will encourage the pet to use a small portion for a bed and the remainder as a place to relieve himself. The puppy should only be able to relieve himself outdoors. Never use a crate as a place that your dog goes to when he is punished.

A puppy should never have free run of the house unless you have your eyes on him at all times. If he poops in the floor b/c you turnes your back for 45 seconds-well you screwed up and made a mistake don't blame your pup for it. the only time they should be allowed to be loose in the house is after they have gone outside and even then only for short periods of time.

puppies must go outside first thing in the morning and I mean first thing. He has been clean all night and holding it all night he will go in a hurry beacuse he has to go. Now bring him in a nd give him freedom but only in the kitchen. A baby gate at the doorway is a great barrier. After you eat breakfast take him out, then feed him his and take him out immediately. Remember the rule OUTSIDE AFTER EATING-SLEEPING-PLAYING.

The bottom line is you cannot take your dog outside to much. If you take him out every hour then he learns that he will have a chance to go outside. When taking him out ask him if he WANTS TO GO OUTSIDE just before going out and praise with a GOOD OUTSIDE or GOOD BOY when he does go.

One last point on housebreaking. Commercial or store bought dog food takes 14-15 hours to go through the dog, a natural diet takes 5-6 hours.

Pointers on housetraining:

1.Do not vary your dogs diet

2.Treats should only be given as a reward for going potty outside or for going in his crate.

3.Praise everytime you see him pee or poop. Do this forever, reinforcing good behavior never hurt anything.

4.Bring him in as soon as he does his business.

5.Exercise brings on the urge to pee and poop. So if he won't go play for a few minutes and see what happens.

6.Puppies should never be punished for relieving himself in the house unless you catch him in the act. Catch him in the act or scolding is no good.

7.Always give a VERBAL punishment NO HITTING under any circumstances.

I hope that some of this has helped I use it on my 5 week old puppy and he hasn't gone potty in the house for 5 days now.
Good Luck

we've 3 babies, a lengthy time period 13, 9 and six. We followed an 8 year previous Chocolate Lab. This dogs had in no way been round babies, yet she on the on the spot grew to develop into their perfect playmate. She takes turns dozing in easily everyone's beds at evening and is continuously up for a activity of fetch - interior or out. Labs have a acceptance for being large family members oriented dogs. As for breeds that wouldnt do properly with babies, i visit't say from journey, yet i could hesitate to carry between the more suitable breeds right into a family members. (Rottweilers, Pitts, etc. - even inspite of the truth that I particularly have heard from those that those breeds can make staggering family members pets to boot. )

You have to spend some time to train your dog, make sure that you feed your dog in certain time and take him out 15-30 mins after eatting and drinking. Also, walks your dog at least 40mins a day and do not give it water or food before it goes to sleep.

You didn't say how old your dog is. First you need to start taking him outside alot. And don't come back in till he goes and then praise him like crazy. Remember dogs really want to please us. When he goes in the house take him to it and tell him no in a stern voice do not yell at him. My vet had me do this with our dog and it helped. When he goes pee or poo in the house clean it up with a paper towel and take it outside. take you dog to it and let him sniff it and tell him good boy. Dogs like to go back to where they have been before. House training takes a lot of work. But remember take him out alot.

it sounds like you and your dogs timing are all off....I think you have to make sure when you are feeding and watering the dog you are making sure you are giving the dog time enought do digest and exercise then go outside and spend enought time to do its duties...get praised for doing its duties outside then bring in until next time... you are going to have to limit intake to be able to get control of when the output will be to get the dog on your schedule. You may have to get up early for a couple of days until you get the dog straightened out.
