Answer 3

I have a dachshund which are known for being hard to potty train. We have had her since she was 6wks old and she is now 7months old and just really starting to get good at going outside. She's still not perfect though. When I started out I was just like you cleaning up lots of indoor messes and congratulating the occasional outdoor one. Try taking her to the same outdoor "potty" spot each time. Also when she does go outside actually say the word "potty" or "pee" multiple times. Like right as she's squatting say "ohh good girl going POTTY outside" then give her bunches of lovin and a treat when you get in. Eventually you will get to the point where you can just go outside to that spot and say potty and she'll go. It just takes patience...and alot of carpet cleaner of course.

Answer 4

Just keep giving her a treat (this is KEY--give her a treat when she comes back in) and and congratulating her when she potties outside.  When she potties inside, keep telling her no and growl at her.  She will eventually catch on.  It takes a couple months for them to completely catch on but you have to stay consistent. Also, if the puppy is under 3 months old, it isn't smart enough yet to be potty trained.  Oh yeah, keep her in a crate at night and when you're not around.  Most dogs will not potty where they sleep.

You're doing what you're supposed to do, though!

Answer 5

You are on the right track, but the trick is catching them before there is an incident in house. Every time there is a mess in house you are setting yourself back a little. Be patient and consistant.
