I just got a 5 week old puppy she seems to pee on the floor when i leave the room.?

Question

She seems to pee every time I leave the room or when she wakes up from a nap, it happens alot like every 15 -30 minutes, how does she have so much pee and how do i stop it. she is doing alot of whining and she does go outside when i bring her, what do i do?!

Answer 1

The puppy is still very young, and really should be with her mother and littermates learning important doggy skills at this time.

However, since you already have the pup, I do think that you should do very BASIC houstraining. Every 15 minutes, bring her outside. Use a simple word like 'Outside?' or 'Potty?' everytime you bring her out so she learns, as she gets older, that means its time to do business. Bring her to a specific area of the yard EVERY time you take her out. If she does pee outside, make a very big scene and praise her. Dogs live to please you, and if you seem thrilled for her doing something, she will eventually do it more often (so long as you keep up with her training.)

Pet her, hug her, scream out "Good girl!"... really, anything. Also give her a favorite toy or a small treat as part of the reward. About 99% of the time dogs learn from postitive enforcement; not negative.

If she does happen to pee on the floor, there is nothing you can do about it. No; rubbing her nose in it will NOT help anything. She will only be confused. Instead, clean it up and deodorize it so it doesn't carry her scent anymore. If it doesn't smell like her place, she may not go there again.

The reason not to yell, hit her, or do anything negative is because dogs (especially younger ones) cannot think the way humans do. If you see the mess 20 minutes; 10 minutes; even 5 minutes from the time of it happening, she won't understand. By you freaking out and being angry your dog will only know that you are upset because of the mess, but she can't understand that it was her that made the mess by peeing. They cannot put things together. So, negativity doesn't help anything.

Whenever she looks about ready to pee, or is in the act of peeing, quickly take her outside. Be very calm. And remember; every time she pees outside, make a big deal. Soon she'll get it and want to do it more often.

The only kind of negativity that will really help your training is right WHEN she's doing it. If you can catch her in the act, and only in the act, clap your hands and give a stern "No! No! No!". Thats all you really need. Take her outside, and move on.

When you take her outside, just do it very often. As she gets older you can start taking her at certain times of the day. Wait outside with her for about 5 minutes, and if she doesn't have to go, take her out again in another 15 minutes.

Good luck with the puppy, and hope all turns out well!

Since it is obvious that you do not have a clue about obedience training, your services should be for free. You cannot train even an adult dog for 8 hours a day. About the most that can be done at any one time is 10 - 20 minutes and that is with an adult dog and not a puppy. The attention span on this baby is extremely short and training session should be no more than 10 minutes and twice a day. Additionally, there isn't going to be much learned if you will only be training for 5 days. Obedience training is cumulative and is done over a much longer period of at least several weeks to several months.
What you can charge is determined by your experience, reputation, and accomplishments and in a case like this, should also include guaranteed expectations. Just working with dogs over several years, is not the experience that is necessary to be a dog trainer. There are too many people who are putting that title to their name and fleecing the public. Don't be one of them.

Answer 3

5 weeks is still really young for her to be away from her mom. I thinks its like 8 weeks before she can actually be given away.

My mom breeds dobermans and she always has little puppys around the house. But she 98% of the time keeps them in one room. Til they are sold or potty trained.

Take her outside every 10-15 minutes if you have to. Maybe she just REALLY has to go, all the time. Or go buy the puppy pads. They have some sort of smell in them that help the puppy know to pee on them. My mom has those too. And if they dont work, just keep her at ur side til she is potty trained, could be a hassle but atleast your house wont smell of puppy pee!

Good luck!

Answer 4

A puppy should not be taken from the litter b4 8 weeks for best development. At that age she prob needs to pee every 30 mins and is too young to be housetrained. She misses her littermates and will have little control until at least 8 weeks old.

Answer 5

In the US it is against the law to buy, sell, adopt or give away any puppy that has not completed it's 7th week and in some states it's 8 weeks.

This puppy needs to go back with mom and littermates for at least another 3 weeks.

She is too young at this point to even consider housetraining..her bladder control is not ready for this yet.

Answer 6

First of all save your sanity and the carpets by not using paper or pads and house train her to go outside. Teaching her to go on paper or a pad is fine only if you keep it that way. Training her to go on paper then outside will only cause you to have to house train her twice. I love dogs and own a Golden Retriever but who wants to train a dog twice.

Next thing you need to do is keep a crate and don't pen her in the kitchen or any other room. Only use the crate when you are unable to watch her but make sure the crate is of the proper size. Crates should just be big enough to allow the dog to stand up, stretch and turn around in. Dogs will not relieve themselves in the area they are sleeping unless they absolutely cannot hold it. Also there should not be anything left in the crate that the puppy can chew such as stuffed animals or blankets. If she does happen to have an accident in the crate these will retain moisture and the mess will be harder for you to clean.

When she is inside and out of the crate you can tether her to you, so that you can watch her closely. This also teaches her to be on a lead and at the same time she can be with you. If you don't want to tether her then when she's not crated you have to watch her like a hawk, not only in case she relieves herself, but for her own safety. She will chew things she shouldn't that can be very dangerous. Many dogs have been electrocuted because of chewing through power cords.

To house train her. Take her outside every 20 minutes by carrying her, she hopefully won't pee on you while in your arms. Tell her "Outside" in an exuberant and happy voice. Take her to where you want her to go, put the lead on her a tell her "Go Pee" watch her and when she goes praise her profusely. Something like " Good Girl, Go Pee" and make sure you pet her at the same time. Take her back inside, into the crate, tethered or just watching her. She will have accidents and (You have to catch her in the act) when she does, show her what she did and say in a stern low voice "No potty". It's not what you are saying that gets her attention it's how you say it. Take her outside as above and say " Go Pee". She likely won't because she just went in the house. Stay outside for a few minutes and bring her back in. If train is consistent it should take no longer than 10-14 days. After she starts getting the idea you need to teach her how to get your attention when she needs to go out.

She's a tiny baby....be patient and consistant and give her lots of TLC.

Answer 7

I have a pup also and I have her going on a puppy pad for her to get used to going to the bathroom at the same place until she is comfortable to go outside. You place the pup on the pad every hour or two so he/she gets used to it and if you see the dog going you quickly pick her up and bring her to the pad. Also, this is kind of gross, but place her waste on the pad so the dog can recognize the scent of where to go. There will be accidents but my puppy rarely has any now and she is starting to go outside. Good luck.

Answer 8

Well, when I got my dog, we had these pads that go on the floor and the dog can go on. You can put those on the floor in a couple of rooms. If that doesn't work, take her to a vet. Good luck! You can send me an e-mail to tell how it works out.

Answer 10

puppies have a really small bladder so they have to go all the time. i would suggest walking her a lot for like an hour. if by the time she gets 8 weeks it hasnt stopped, ure going to have to start spanking her on the butt everytime she goes inside. like put their nose near where they peed and yell out NO. it also helps if u take them for a walk afterwards.
