PeePee pads.....?

Question

My 3 puppies ( yikes, i know) have learned how to pee on the puppy pads, but when it comes to pooping, they go everywhere EXCEPT for the pad.
Some people would say to put the dogs in the fence during the day to help with the indoor mess. But my dogs are NOT outside dogs. They are snow dogs with LONG thick hair and it is 100+ degrees out here during the day. So that wont work
Does it have something to do with the fact that they are all boys? or is it the breeds? ( 1 is a Siberian Husky, 1 is a Giant Alaskan Malamute, and 1 is a pomeranian) Why can't they use the pad for number two? I have even tried putting down several pads.
What can I do? I am tied of having to scrub the floor.

Answer 1

My recommendation would be to stop using pee pads and train them to go outside using these instructions.
Remember: dogs are not born knowing they go potty outside, not on your rug.
Crate train and when she is not in her crate watch her every second. Dogs go through a routine before they eliminate, some sniff, some circle... when you see that pick her up and run outside and say hurry up (whatever you want the cue to be). If she goes outside, praise her ton. Not just a "good dog", throw a party, run around in circles, give her a piece of cooked hotdog.
Obviously you must take her outside often, I would say every hour, but dogs must go after they eat, sleep, and exercise. Take her out, say hurry up, when she goes praise and go inside.
If you take your eyes off of her and she goes and you don't see her doing it, that is your fault, do not punish her because she will not know why she is in trouble. If you catch her in the act, make a loud noise to stop her and rush her outside. Praise her after she goes. Don’t smack her if she pees in the house, she may just try to hold it forever and develop bladder problems, something you really don’t want, or she’ll just hide to go next time. Don’t correct after the fact. If the dog is corrected after the fact, it will not connect the correction with the behavior, and will begin to think that corrections are random, and that the owner cannot be trusted. This results in a bad relationship and a dog that does not connect corrections, which are believed random, with bad behaviors even when they are applied in time. When she does have an accident, be sure to clean it up with nature’s miracle or something made specifically for urine stains or she will go back to that spot to eliminate again.
I cannot tell you how helpful a crate has been in housebreaking my puppy. He has never had an accident in his crate and when I get him out of his crate we go directly outside (I carry him) and he pees.
I do not recommend pee pads or paper training. When you use pee pads, you are teaching your dog to go potty in your house. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want my dog peeing anywhere in my house, pee pad or no pee pad.

I'm a firm believer in kennel training (or crate training as some call it), I have found it personally to be the best and easiest way to control the "potty experience". I feel that piddle pads tend to confuse the dog. They don't understand why it's ok to go here but not there. However, if the piddle pads are working for you, you may want to try something that I used on my puppies and modify it a little.

I was having difficulty housebreaking my ABD. She would piddle outside and poo all over the house. What I ended up doing was taking her poo to her outside spot and leaving it there. She soon associated her scent with what she was supposed to do. You may want to try this with the piddle pads. I know it sounds a little disgusting (especially in the house) but take a little poo from each dog and place it on the pad. You'll notice they tend to pick their favorite spots and use them over and over, so this may move their spots onto the pad. It may work.

You'll also want to make sure you completely clean and deodorize any areas they have previously used. This will remove their odor from any spot other than the pads.

Good luck!!

Well i potty trained my dogs.
1. Put them all in a bathroom.
2. set out 3 Pee pads.
3. Let them stay over night and they will learn not to poop in the house.
It took me 2 weeks to train my puppy.

Answer 5

Wow have you created a lot of double work for yourself. Yes, your dog was old enough to pee outside at 8 weeks old, you need to remove the pee pads entirely from your home and retrain the dog to go outside, which means taking the dog outside every hour on the hour to potty. Don't be surprised if the dog begins using your rugs instead. Remove all pee pads and start from the beginning.

Answer 6

I have heard of trying to use a scent they can associate with using #2. Cedar chips work well. You can start by putting it in the corner with your pee pads. Slowly remove chips and start narrowing it down. Overlap by taking them to a designated spot outside (where you have laid some additional cedar chips) and they will eventually start learning to go there.

Answer 7

Lose the pads and crate train them. I don't know who in their right mind would want Malamutes and Huskys cr@pping and peeing in the house.

Answer 8

call like an obieidiant center or look it up on the interent. when the do that say no in a firm voice adn make them smell it but then clean it up fast..cause when its claen and they still can smell it they thinks is alright to do that..ew

Answer 9

Spread out newspaper instead of pads. When they poop on the floor rub their noses in it right then. As same time swat their butts with a small amount of rolled up newspaper and put them on the newspaper you have laid out.
