Another way to deal with a dog that is having accidents in the house is to tether him to you with a leash while he is inside. If you cannot get him to go outside then simply attach him to you with a leash or string so he is with you wherever you go. That way you will not miss his signals that say he has to go. Training is not done without your input. If you can't seem to catch him doing the deed then you need to have him with you until he gets it right. When you see he has to go take him to the proper place and wait until he is done. Make sure you always reward him with a treat and lots of praise. This will work much more quickly than any amount of scolding done after he has made a mistake. |
