Then we would take them outside and if they had more they would go and we would praise sometimes they didn't get busted until they were finished so they didn't have to go again. Lots of people think they can yell at the dog later when they find the accident but the dog doesn't remember it then. I'm in a bit of a potty training nightmare with my youngest now. The old owners never trained her at all and I didn't get her until 8 months so its going a lot slower then my other two that I got as young puppies and we trained by 8 months. Its like you thing everything is going great for a few days then she pees and poos on the floor. My mom says its because my youngest will always be the problem child lol. I have had to cut three different collars off of her because she got them stuck in her mouth some how. She wants to eat dirt and rocks! |
I won't yell at her or say anything after myself. I know she can't remember. When we were stopping her going, she literally wouldn't go for a long time. I upped her praises, to the point where it was clapping, fanfare, and treats. She hasn't had any accidents on the carpet in a month. Not urine. Poop, however, is a different story. I think, though, that she doesn't like peeing and pooping on the same areas. She'll do it maybe 75% of the time. My idea to put a new pad on the opposite side is working- so far, lol. knocking on wood.
