| 4 hour's Im sorry but did you take him out any in that 4 hour's? At 12 weeks old your puppy can only hold it a couple of hour'sat the most. And that depends on how much you feed and water them. Think of a baby, I dont know if you have any children. But when all 3 of mine where little it seemed like we would go through a diaper every 1-2 hours. Until they got about 6-7 months old. You think house breaking a puppy is hard to me its easier than potty training a child. At twelve weeks old I would feed and water 4 times a day (your puppy, not my children ). And take him outside every 30 min. Its discouraging that he has already messed in his "den" but not all is lost. Usually if you get a puppy from the pet store they will do this, because they had no other choice and have gotten used to it. So now what you have to do is leave him out of the "den" for longer periods, take him outside every 30 min. Regulate his feeding, and be consistent. In about a month you can start leaving him his crate longer but still take him out every 30 min. to potty. Dont expect much he's only 3 months old, for the next couple month he is in the stage of exploring and socializing. Once this is over he is ready to start training. |

| Poppy puppy Ok... I have 3 dogs. I have a Min. Schnauzer (14yrs old), Boston Terrier (5yrs) and a Yorkie (1 1/2). My schnauzer never really house broke. She won't use it in a crate... or the house if she is on the same level as you... but if she sneaks to another room ...sometimes... but mostly another floor... she will use it everywhere. The Boston NEVER had accidents except when sick and really liked a litter box when tiny. The Yorkie has been interesting. She doesn't use it in her cage unless I am gone over 8hours.... which is rare. She sleeps w/ me every night unless dirty from muddy rainy days... and she never pees or poos my bed (FROM DAY !) BUT if she is in the shower (her bigger "pen" she uses it every time! So I got piddle pads for in there and she uses them everytime (but she pees down the drain... she even does that if she is running loose in the house). Then I put piddle pads in her 3 accident spots in the house... and she uses them. .... so much so she will go out...not use it....come in and use the piddle pad (darn it!) I can't figure out how to get her down to one piddle pad! I am going crazy because I can't have them out everywhere all the time! Now... on the flip side... I broker puppies for a friend of mine 3 states away. I really just take 2 or 3 of hers at a time and sell them... helps me pay bills since my husband is battling cancer and I can't work. I always work on training right away (potty training anyway) and some are trained completely by 12 weeks! I think there is a variety of reasons for success or failure... like I don't spoil my transient babies as much... I try to stay as detatched as I can.... which is hard so not done well...lol... so I crate better than w/ my own. Also I think owners have to realize that at first they are trained....not the dog! lol |

| No way can a 12 week old puppy hold it for 4 hours, he is going in the crate because he HAS to go. You will never potty train a dog unless you give them the chance to suceed. |
