My family just got a new puppy and she is only 10 weeks old. We can't seem to get through her head where to go to the toilet. She keeps going on the carpet and when she does we put her nose in it and put her on the balcony. But it still doesn't work. Lately, we have been taking her outside [[ We have a 2 story house and mainly live upstairs ]] In hopes that she will go on the grass, and she does so. Got any idea's on how to train her? we can't be taking her outside every hour to see if she has to go.

I'm sorry, but you HAVE to take her out every hour to go!!
Never rub her nose in it and just throw her on the balcony.
Only punish her if you CATCH her in the act! Otherwise, she won't know what's wrong.
If you do see her peeing, make a loud abrupt noise, hopefully she'll stop, and take her outside. Once she does go outside, praise the hell out of her. She's only 10 weeks old. Potty traing will take awhile.

You just have to be patient. If you catch the dog weeing inside, take her out immediately. Don't rub the nose in, or tell her off, or she'll learn to be afraid of you.
We were told it takes at least 4 months for puppies to gain close to full bladder control. Our puppy is now 9 months old, and he only ever goes inside if he has been cooped up, has no way to get out, and is desperate. He can usually wait more than 8 hours.
Just get into a routine of taking the puppy out every hour, and especially after meals, a big drink, and if puppy wakes up from a nap.
Other than that, just enjoy the time with your puppy while she is still cute and young, and praise her as much as you can when you see her doing the right thing (from toileting in the right place, to sitting when you ask etc.)

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aL67o
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

well just keep her in one room that doesn't have a carpet and put newspapers down on the floor and if she dose do it in the house put her straight outside and when she dose do it outside give her a treat or some of her puppy food. If that doesn't work then get a puppy playpen (aka cage) i know it sounds mean but it REALLY helps because they wont do the toilet in there bed (aka cage) so they have they have to do it outside.

Yeah, forcing dogs nose "into the crap" was a training method used 100 years ago. It did work and produced many neurotic dogs.
P.S. There are roughly 10-15 books on puppy training in any half decent bookstore.

NEVER rub her nose in it. It doesn't do any good, actually detrimental. She's just a little kid, please. "can't seem to get through her head" You have to teach the pup, they don't come Preprogrammed.
When she wakes from a nap take her out. When she relieves herself Praise! "good girl"
WATCH her, if she starts to squat to go say "No", pick her up and take her out. Praise!
Dogs have a peculiar way of walking just before the squat to poop. Be observant.
While walking her outside BE SURE to start training to lead, "heel" command, Praise! when she does what you ask. Work on sit, stay, come...Praise!
Be a responsible owner, TRAINING.

There are these mats that you can get for puppies to be house trained, but in it in the kitchen or where ever she stays at night, and every time she goes on it or outside pet her and give her a treat. Worked for my sister.

shes only a puppy ...taking her outside everyhour is a sacrifice you should have to make... you have to train her with lots of positive feedback. - every time she does the toilet outside give her a treat (you can buy training treats from petshops etc) , everytime she does it inside do not reward and continue with the rubbing the nose in it technique (i know some people think its cruel but thats how they learn.)
Soon she will learn that for her to get the treat she has to go outside.. - good luck

Try bell training her. Stick a string with a bell attached to the bottom and teach her to ring it before she goes outside. Then when you hear the bell take her out. And if she starts playing with the bell for fun take her out right away so she learns to not do that for fun.

First, i might carry a bell on the door which you rather want the domestic dog to pass out of. Secondly everytime which you're taking the domestic dog out of that door you're taking its paw and faucet the bell. The bell could be placed low sufficient for the domestic dog to faucet it via itself. I unquestionably have a small fenced in area (so you might purchase or make) outdoors of the door the place I positioned the domestic dog in. I woudl take slightly his droppings and place it contained in the area. Take the domestic dog out 15 minutes to a a million/2 hour after it eats. After he does his obligations, provide the domestic dog a take care of, if he would not, do not provide him a take care of. The domestic dog gets used to hitting the bell and you will adore it.
