| Help! Potty Training! My dog is 4 years old and knows to go outside. She rings her bell on the most part, but sometimes just decides to go inside instead. Today she went outside at 7:30 A.M. At about 2 P.M. she went to the door and walked around for 5-10 minutes without going. I took her out 2 more times since then and she still hasn't gone. It is 6:15 P.M so there is no way she doesn't have to go after almost 12 hours. She has been in her crate for about 2 hours now because I don't want her to go inside the house. How can I make her go outside? |

| I'd guess that if she spent any time in the house today unsupervised - then she probably relieved herself somewhere you can't find it? If not, then stay outside with her until she goes - and mark the good behavior with a treat. You're right, after 12 hrs. she def. needs to go. Good luck!

| She finally went and is out of her creat now But I still want to figure out how to prevent this in the future, so any suggestions are greatly appreciated Thank you Karrie for the feedback. She was unsupervised in the morning, but was not unsupervised after she went to the door indicating she has to go. When I took her out I wait for awhile. She started heading towards to door to go back in and I picked her up and put her back in the grass. I did this a few times and she kept coming back in Any clue why she does this when she indicates she needs to go? |
