How can i train my dog to go to the bathroom when i take him out?

Question

My dog is very annoying when it comes to taking him out to go to the bathroom because he needs to go out when i don't have time to take him out and when i do try to take him out, he doesn't go! How can i train him to go when i give him the opportunity to go, and not whenever he wants to?

Answer 1

when taking your dog out give him a command when he is going to the bathroom.

eventually your dog will respond to the command.

also treat your dog when he is finished, and give him a lot of praise

Answer 2

when I take my dog out, he stiffs & sniffs for that right spot to go, you must be patient with him & yes my dog gets a treat everytime he goes outside too.

He actually always wants to go just to get that treat, little dogs do need to go out more often & mine will paw me if he needs to go out sooner, it's all in the training.

Answer 3

When you take him out and he does go to the bathroom, give him a treat. He should catch on to the reward.

Answer 4

whenever he does go, say POTTY. Praise him for going potty and say good potty. He needs to relate the word to the action.

Did this with my dog who is now 11 and will go on command before car rides, training classes, bedtime, helps in bad weather too-you don't have to stand out in the rain or snow forever.

Answer 5

All u need to do is when u take him/her outside make sure you say potty! All is easy then. For a few weeks they will have to get used to it but then they will always want to go potty outside not inside!!!!!!

Answer 6

How well have you been trained to go on command? It takes x amount of time to get through the system so try altering the time you are feeding him and excersising him. If you go into the house and he gets put away as soon as he eliminates then he will stall for you. Try playing a bit after he goes then put him away. Make him want to go potty so he can play or get  treat.
