I just got my puppy a week ago and shes now 13 weeks. Shes a full blooded white german shepherd with papers and shes very smart. Nearly evrytime take her outside she gots does her thing but she still poops and pees in the house. I praise her every time and she knows going inside is a bad thing because as soon as she does it she tries to hide from me. Any tips on how to break this? Also if I raise my voice the pees because shes scared. How do I break this as well.

Ive heard that abused dogs "leak" when they are scared but I do not beat her and she came from an amish family so I'm pretty sure they didn't hurt the puppies either. Any advice would be appreciated.

At 13 weeks she's still a baby. You can't let puppies out of your sight because if the have an accident and you don't catch them in the act, it's your fault, not theirs. You need to walk her longer when she is outside. She does NOT know going inside is bad--all she knows is that you are angry. Dogs DO NOT understand delayed punishment. If you don't catch her in the act, FORGET about it. If you can't watch her, put her in her crate for a bit, then walk her again a little later. BE PATIENT!
The peeing when she is scared is called submissive urination. It is her way of showinng you that she thinks you are the boss. She has NO CONTROL over this and any form of punishment will make it much worse. Puppies will usually outgrow this as they gain confidence. Keep working with her. Shepherds are highly intelligent and sensitive dogs. I highly recommend Dr. Ian Dunbars book "After You Get Your Puppy". The best little training book you'll ever need to read.

Six weeks historical? You acquired him too younger. First off, puppy's have an extraordinarily difficult time controlling once they go to the bathroom. However back to his age. You really must not undertake a canine much less then 10 weeks historical. Up until then, they are studying a lot about being in a percent, socializing, they be trained by using playing with other puppies, and one key item. At week 8, they under go "worry imprinting". Which means what ever scares the canine at that time, will be an issue for the leisure of the puppies lifestyles. So until you intend on not going out, no visitors, no trips to anywhere, just you and the dog, staying residence with out interruptions, there is a threat your going to "imprint" whatever you do not need to on the canine. In the event you go out and go away him on my own throughout that time, your dog will without end have separation disorders. As far as kennel coaching. I had no good fortune with my German Shepherd. He quickly discovered the best way to break out from every kennel we tried. He even acquired out of 1 we pad locked!. He discovered partly unfold a collapsible wire cage kennel, and slip out a hole. He discovered the right way to unzip a smooth kennel. And he figured out the way to "roll" a rough kennel, except the door popped out. I figured if he was that decided to now not be in a kennel, well I let him win that conflict. He sleeps on the mattress now.

All puppies have weak bladders. Tehy tend to pee when they are excited or scared. It takes a while. You have to be consistent with her. Don't yell at her. Lots of praise! Give her treats when she does good. When she doesn't do good then don't give her a treat. Even if you catch her in the act still take her outside. Don't wait for her to finish either. Just have patience.And no shes not too young to be trained....starting when they are young gets them into the habit and it doesn't hurt them.

Six weeks ancient? You received him too younger. First off, dog's have an overly tough time controlling after they move to the toilet. But again to his age. You relatively must no longer undertake a puppy much less then 10 weeks ancient. Up till then, they're finding out such a lot approximately being in a %, socializing, they study through gambling with different puppies, and one key object. At week eight, they beneath move "worry imprinting". Meaning what ever scares the puppy at the moment, might be an drawback for the leisure of the puppies existence. So until you propose on no longer going out, no viewers, no journeys to at any place, simply you and the dog, staying house with out interruptions, there's a hazard your going to "imprint" some thing you do not wish to at the puppy. If you move out and depart him on my own in the course of that point, your puppy will perpetually have separation problems. As a ways as kennel coaching. I had no good fortune with my German Shepherd. He rapidly found out how you can break out from each kennel we attempted. He even received out of 1 we pad locked!. He found out how you can partly spread a collapsible twine cage kennel, and slip out a hole. He found out how you can unzip a smooth kennel. And he found out how you can "roll" a tough kennel, till the door popped out. I figured if he used to be that located not to be in a kennel, good I allow him win that conflict. He sleeps at the mattress now.

her bladder is still imature until between6 and 7 months of age. your on the right track. keep praising her when she goes outside. if you want better control ,when you are unable to watch her put her in a kennel as a dog gennerally wont go toilet in there den. she pees when you yell because shes frightened. the minute she starts to go pick her up tell her no and take her outside and tell her your command for toileting if she goes praise her up and stroke her. you will start seeing an improvement in a few months dont worry so much it will happen when her body matures.

um... he is not too young.. whoever said that is COMPLETELY wrong!!! i work in a pet store... they have crates with dividers and its called crate training the dog wont go in a place that they cant get away from..... he needs just enough room to turn around in.... u take him out first thing in the morn... right when u get home... or whatever. and you need to feed him twice a day, morning and night. dogs eat what they can in about 10 min u give them 10 min then when they take their head out of the bowl you take them outside.... its sooooo simple and easy u just need to know the rightway to doit.

Well usually, you can use wee-wee pads....they have a certain scent to where they know the area to pee. Try putting it near a door so she knows to go outside....point to the pad....put her head towards it to show her that she goes there...."Go potty here..." kind of thing.

If she does bad.....you bring her to the "soiled" area and tell her NO.....firmly ......not loudly or abruptly..... just firm Nooo. Then walk her back to the wee-wee pad....they usually help. She'll learn.

I mean worse comes to worse either get a doggy door or get obedience training.

I taught mine showing what they did wrong and putting newspaper/wee-wee pads down close to the door that leads outside....and he knows..... i taught 2 dogs at once....the one passed away and it was when they were both 8 (bro and sis) ....my dog is 16 now....and his sister passed away when they were 10)....he STILL knows its bad to go inside.

shes only a puppy. puppies get scared, nervous, excited, and they pee. its ok, just give it some time, and she'll grow out of it(along with you training her of course)
