House Training a Dog

Take the dog for a walk where other dogs walk and it will go to the bathroom outside when it smells their pee and poo. It will enjoy the walk, and dogs should be walked everyday. After it gets used to doing it's business outside, it will probably ask to go outside at home also.

Sometimes we give our dogs mixed messages by sometimes letting them pee and poo on dog pads and then taking them outside to do their business. The best thing to do is choose one or the other. If your dog is going inside and you want her to pee and poo outside.

Take the pee pad outside and rub the scent on the grass where you want her to pee or take the poo and put it on the grass where you want her to go. Take her out every hour if possible during the day to the spot you placed the poo and rubbed the urine on the grass, remember small dogs have small bladders. Make sure you have treats with you to give her. Let her sniff around the spot and i know she will go praise her give her a treat and always take her to that same spot. She will catch on in no time. Please give it time but be consistent.

How can I get my dog to stop wetting all over the house?

RE: House Training a Dog

You have to limit the area the dog is in. We kept our puppy in the kitchen the first few weeks with newspaper on the floor. When she went on the paper we brought it and her outside and let her sniff it and then walked her around for a little while. Eventually it sunk in and she is a perfectly mannered dog now.

Was your dog housebroken before? From the picture, it looks like you have an older dog. You need to take him/her to the vet and find out if there is a serious medical condition that is causing the problem. My best dog had diabetes and the manifestation of it was uncontrollable urinating. With medical help, insulin, this was stopped. Best of luck with your sweet dog. (03/17/2008)

How long does it take to house train a Schnauzer/Poodle mix?

I want to know how I can break my dog from going in the house. I take her outside and walk her and she will not go. As soon as I bring her inside she uses the bathroom. Help.
