My puppy arrived for about 2plus months. From the start I did not confine her, I just allow her to roam. She was 8 months old then. Yes she pee and poo every where she likes, as expected.
I wanted bathroom train her. I have an extra bathroom where all the cats and dogs will go in there to pee and poo. It was really tedious 2 months back, we would need to clean up for about 8times per day! I almost lose my patience. Bring her to the bathroom so many times, she still clueless about it.
I decided to use rewarding system, I locked her inside the bathroom, asking her to pee, Then gave her a treat after she pee. She did that only if I lock her inside, she won't go in to pee on her own.
After that, I changed my mind, I decided to use punishment method. I do not bring her in the bathroom to pee at intervals anymore. I. Closely monitor her, if I happen to catch her doing the peeing action, I caught her on the spot and I lock her in the playpen. In fact this method was very effective, because for after a week, 50% of the time she started to pee inside the bathroom! I'm very happy about it. Now she still pee Outside 30% of the time. But at least I cleaning less now
