Any good ideas for housetraining my puppy?

Question

she still goes to the bathroom inside, but she also goes outside if she feels like it.

she has had A LOT of accidents in the house, and i try to teach her every time, but she just doesn't understand.

is there anything i can do?

Answer 1

My poodle-chihuahua did that too.  It took me a year to break him.  I used potty training pads that helped.  I also started to just take him out every hour whether he went or not.  I also showed him how disappointed I was when he did go inside.  No hugs or anything for a period of time.  Sometime they have accidents to "please" you.  I know it sounds weird, but I read that somewhere.  Just keep at it and be persistent.  I also put him in a kennel when I am gone to prevent him from going in the house.  They usually don't go to the bathroom where they sleep.  Hope my suggestions work.

Answer 2

there are lots of videos on youTube on house training dogs.

Answer 3

first u cant ever  yell at them if its going to the potty immidently pick her up and shell stop and put her outside and say good girl  give her a treat too or crates  

Answer 4

Get a little pet carrier / crate.  Make it nice inside with her bed and a chew toy.   Keep her in there when you cannot watch her EVERY SECOND.  That way she cannot run around the house peeing every time you're not looking.  Take her out often to do her business but keep her crated at all other times when you can't watch her.  She'll start getting the idea.

Answer 5

When you can't keep your eyes on her, leave her in her crate, then as soon as you take her out, take her outside and tell her to go potty, the as soon as she does give her a reward. If she is out of her crate and you see her start to go to the bathroom, say no and scoop her up and take her outside, then reward her when she goes. If you see the pee or poo in the house, but you did not see her go you can't punish her because she will have no idea what you are punishing her for.

Answer 6

this is how i trained my dog:

Lay newspaper in the room it spends most time in. try to stay with the puppy quite a lot. When you see it pee on the floor, quickly pick it up and place it on the paper. keep on doing this (it will take time) and it will soon learn to go to the toilet on the paper. Reward it when it does.

when it has mastered the art of peeing on the paper, gradually move the paper away from where it normally is, closer to where you want your dog to relieve itself. make it a bit closer everyday.

soon you can remove the paper altogether.

Good luck

Answer 7

everytime she has an accident inside say BAD GIRL and put her outside..thats wut i did to all 3 of my dogs nd it worked...it takes a lil bit of time for them to learn though

Answer 8

First, it helps to know what you're doing now.

Crate training is an excellent tool.  If the dog is being cooperative, and you're being vigilant, there will not be any opportunities for accidents.
