Answer 1

Prevention is the best way. Take her where you want her to potty every time she wakes up after she eats after she drinks alot! I take my pup out every half hour and praise him alot when he goes. It can easily take 6 months for a pup to finally get it though some catch on quick. Limit food and water about 3 hours before you go to bed to help her to make it through the night. If you see her squat on the floor make a loud noise to startle her. Like scream HAY then bring her to the desired spot fast and when she finishes there praise her and maybe give her a treat. you want to avoid as many accidents as possible. My vet told me to keep the puppy on a leash in the house attached to me if I am doing something like dishes when you can't follow him around or put him in the crate. you can limit poops by feeding on a schedule sense they always poo shortly after they eat. If they have food all the time then as they nibble they are always ingesting and outputting with means you have to watch him more. Don't spank them or shove their nose in it after they have done it they will learn to hide it. If you don't catch the puppy in the act and there is poo on the floor just clean it up and hope to catch her or prevent it next time. You can't discipline them after the fact at all cause they just won't understand and you don't want her to become afraid of you.

A general rule when potty training a pup (and this will require a lot of trips in and out of the house for you); when they wake up, take them to a designated spot that you want them to go potty in, then after they eat or drink. It takes time, but can be done.

My husband and I have 3 dogs and we have a very large back yard that is fenced in but, they are not allowed to potty in the yard. We have a fenced in kennel and that is where they were taught to go. There is nothing worse then walking into your own back yard and stepping in a mess.

You might want to get some type of a portable fence and put that in a designated area to put your little pup in when it is time to go potty. They will eventually get the idea to go. And above all, when the puppy does his/her job, give it lots of praises. Nothing pleases them more than to please their owner. And remember too, be patient with your little one. Every pup is different and some take longer than others to train. And try to keep some type of schedule with your little baby, because that is what they are...a baby.

This is just one of many sites where you can buy portable pens that can be used indoors and outdoors and they come in different heights, depending on the size of your little one. We have one and I love it. It can fold up easily and store away when not in use.
