we have pads on floor,take her out but still uses the floor how can i make her stop?

Answer 1

Best way is to set up a eating and drinking schedule. If your dog eats and drinks at about the same time each day, they will use the bathroom at about the same time each day. With the schedule in place, take them outside right after they eat, or at the end of their feeding time. Also use positive and negative reinforcements. Take a treat (or 2) outside with you, and if they urinate, give them a small treat, and if they deficate, give them a bigger one. When they go inside (I know it may sound cruel), put their nose to it and smack their butt with a rolled up newspaper, and tell them "No" in a firm voice and then take them outside. (You can also train them to scratch at the door to let you know when they need to go, by taking their paws and scratching the door for them, and then taking them outside.) And yes, the pads might be confusing them, so I'd get rid of them.
Consistency is the key, without it, EVERYTHING fails.

Answer 2

You should provide a little more information, like the breed and age of the dog. You have to work with a dog all the time to keep them trained. I would start by keeping her in a small space, the bathroom or the kitchen maybe. If you are going to let her use the pad forever then thats fine, if not you need to break her of it now. Once she does good in the small space start giving her more and more room. Make sure you take her on walks often enough and if you are going to be late you get someone else to walk her. Most adult dogs are OK with going outside twice a day. I have a chihuahua that would need to go out five or six times so we do have him pad trained. We keep the pad in the bathroom and put a baby gate up off the floor a few inches so he can get in but our Daughter can't mess with the pads. He still has problems every once in a while going to the bathroom in certain places. When he does we will make him stay in the bathroom for a few hours or a day and then he will remember where he is supposed to go to the bathroom. Some dogs are harder to train than others. If she has specific places she goes to the bathroom then keep her away from those spaces and treat them as well as you can to get the smell out. People always say that they don't remember they have done something wrong but I don't think that is true. If my dog is out when we are not home and goes on the floor when we come back in the house he will go hide, even before we say anything to him. Good luck!

Answer 3

It really depends on the breed of the dog. I have a one year old Shiba Inu, which are among the most stubborn dogs in the world. We just recently got her hose broken... Only if we don't let her go out does she go on the floor.

The way we managed was letting her out in the fenced in yard several times a day. Each time at first we would go out and sit with her to see if she had actually gone potty. When she did we would say (in an excited playful, nice voice) "Good girl!!! You went potty out side! You're such a good girl!" She would then come running and we would pet her and kiss her to let her know she was good. We would then go inside and give her a treat again telling her she was a good girl for going potty outside.

We had tried everything before that... Puppy pads, rolled up news paper, spanking and walking. So far this positive reinforcement has worked wonders. Kinda like if you respect someone they will show you the same respect and get the right idea of how they should act.

So, just let your pup know that he or she was good and that you liked what she did. Good luck!

Answer 4

We have those puppy pads too. they're in a pen though because thats where he is while I'm at school. After he peed on one of the pads I put it outside and he started going on it because he smells his own pee. I took the pad away and now he's starting to pee outside. When the puppy does pee outside praise it A LOT. When it pees inside tell them no in a stern voice, but don't hit them. You have to tell them no right after they go in the house and try to make him smell where he peed so he knows what he did, if you wait too long they'll think what ever they were doing the minute you told them no was wrong. Like if you found pee on the floor and you told the dog no while he was doing something else, he'll think whatever he was doing was wrong. Hope i helped.

Answer 5

I had trouble getting my poodle potty trained. We finally did not put out the pads and took him outside every 30 to 40 minutes during the day. That way if he had to go in theory he would go during that time. It took more work than I would have liked but he is potty trained now.

I just wish he would be better at scratching at the door, if you don't let him out when does scratch at the door he will sometimes have an accident. He doesn't scratch very loudly, of course his paws are little, but still.

Answer 6

The pads are probably confusing her. By putting the pads down, you're showing her it's alright to go inside. Then, by taking her outside, you're contradicting the pads. I recommend you get rid of the pads, put her on a potty schedule, and take her outside often throughout the day.

Answer 7

Potty training is simple enough once you understand a few key things. One, start crate training if you havent already. Two, lose the pads unless it's necessary. Three, learn when she will absolutely need to go out.

One: Crate training is a good thing. Crates provide a safe place for puppies and adult dogs. You should crate your dog when you leave the home or when you are doing something that makes it impossible to watch them all the time. You should also crate them at night. Dogs don't like to soil where they sleep, so make sure the crate is only big enough for the dog to stand, lie down,turn around, and sit. This will help stop going potty at night.

Two: The pads are really not needed. I never used them and don't see the point of them. They actually make it harder to teach the pup/dog to go outside. The point of potty training is to have them NOT go in the house and the pads sort of defy that.

Three: Puppies (and adult dogs) should always be taken out at these times; After waking up (night time sleep and naps), after drinking, after eating, after rough play. You'll have to do a little investigating to figure out how long they can wait after eating and drinking, but it's usually ten to twenty minutes after. Occasionally right after. It's also important that if play time runs long that you interrupt playtime to take her out.

All of this, and supervision, is the key. If you see her start to pace or circle,grab her and take her out. Praise her for going potty outside. If you catch her in the act, startle her out of it ( clapping or stomping usually does it) and take her out to have her finish. Don't rub her nose in it or hit her, that's just crual and doesnt really help.

Good luck!

P.S. - one thing i did that helped it along... whenever she goes to the door, or even towards it,take her out even if she might not have to go. Don't praise her unless she goes potty. Eventually she'll learn. My girl got it in a month, and now only has accidents if we don't watch her.

Answer 8

I have never understood why anyone would ever want to train their dog to piss and shitt in the house EVER on anything.
It's disgusting and confusing to the dog and all dogs should be potty trained to go outside from the beginning. The pee pads were a genious idea for the guy who invented them and a ridiculous idea in reality as it lacks total common sense to teach a dog to eliminate IN the house! YUCK!

Answer 9

If you have pads inside on the floor she thinks she can pee in the house.Mine uses potty pads outside on the patio. Once we went on vacation and tried it in the house and she refused.
Tell her NO, shame on you, let her smell the area (she knows her smell and she knows she peed there),take some thing with her pee out side where you want her to go.
When she does pee where she is supposed to shower her with praise.

Answer 10

First of all, ..."pad training" ...and "paper training" are the worst things you can do to train a dog.
All you're doing is teaching her/him to go on the floor, period.
Get rid of the pads.
Take the dog, ..(how old???)...outside, ..often, very often, and praise, PRAISE, PRAise HER EVERY time he/she goes.
Do NOT yell or hit ever, ..you will only worsen the problem.
Limit water after 6 pm..unless you're in hot climate or dog is real active......Also, ..i hope you're using the crate system...crates are the best training tool out there and are not cruel at all, as some people think, (usually the people who dont know anything about dog training)....
Just keep at it, and be patient, the dog wants to be trained to please you more than you want them to...
