I'm losing the will to live. I have exhausted everything I know to stop my 4 month old Newfoundland puppy from peeing in the kitchen and then barking to tell me she's done it.
I have tried everything to get her to 'tell' me she wants out to poo and pee. Every morning I get up at 6am and my kitchen floor is flooded with wee and a mound of poo. I take her out in the garden the last thing at night for around half an hour and she finally wees, but does not poo.
She also pees in the kitchen and then she barks to go out. What she does, I keep taking her out after meals, and if she leans on the back door as if a sign then she wants to go out. She doesn't do anything so I let her back in, within 20 mins or so, she will pee or poo in the kitchen. Then she will bark to 'tell me' and want to go out. I'm sick of it.
She poos every morning in the same place in the garden and wees which is great. Then it all goes to pot. She will then go about her day with me and if she is in the kitchen later on she will wee and poo.
What on earth am I doing wrong? I have tried everything - praise and treats when she's pooed in the garden. I'm so upset it's as tho she hates me. I hope someone can answer me.

Your little dog is trying hard to comply with your demands but she has got very confused. Perhaps she thinks that just pooping or peeing is enough to be rewarded for, that's why she barks to tell you!
You could try crating her. Get a crate that is just large enough for her to stand & turn around but not big enough that she can get away from her poop or pee, should she go in the crate. I also recall my MIL saying that she put a pee pad down, and after puppy had gone on it, she moved it outside to show her the proper place to go.
OK don't worry start off new sanitize the house sprinkle very lightly on the floor cayenne pepper this will stop the dog from peeing in the house because when he goes to P the cayenne pepper will burn a little bit to let him know not to P then you take him outside as soon as you see him licking himself. Now upon taking him/her outside when he comes back you can treat him with a little chicken treat and you do this for a while he will know not to P in the house or poo.
ok I had the same problem..I was and still am watching my sons puppy..she is a female chocolate full bread Lab and my son has papers on her..but I had the same problem so I checked around and got her a doggie pen that is black.I put her in it and leave her in their for about 20 minutes and take her out side to the bath room every time I take her out of the pen and she pee's or poops and it has worked for me she is now potty trained..Every time she takes a nap in her pen I take her out and she pee's and poops..
