sick and tired of wiping up PEEEEEEEE.... I am so tired of cleaning up pee and poop. I cleaned up less when I was potting training my kids. I started retraining Fergie again, confining her to the kitchen. But as soon as she gets the chance, she will dash out of the kitchen and pee in the living room on the hardwood floor, or in any of the bedrooms or wherever she feels like it. My husband just came out to the kitchen to inform me that she yet again peed on the carpet in the hall way. I'm at my whits end.:mad::thumbdown:eek: |
I can feel your pain! Yesterday I had an absolute meltdown. I got home from a business trip and realized that our bedroom carpet had a few more pee spots than when I left. Not really a big deal since the carpet has already been dominated by pee. What set me off was the two dried up pee spots on our $1600 oriental carpet in the living room. I was so upset that I had to stand in the shower for 45 minutes just to cool down. Then tonight, I'm standing out in the cold waiting for our little guy to pee. He pooped and then wanted to come in. I took him around in our yard and then got soo upset for not peeing after 10 minutes that i gave him a spanking. He yelped and my wife got so pissed that I'm now in the dog house (rightfully so). I should not have spanked the dog but I am seriously at my whits end. For some reason this has been extremely stressful for me. What i've been doing to minimize pee spots in the house has been to put a diaper for him. I only bought one so when its in the washing machine (every other day) he has at the carpet again. So, get (2) or more. Second, tomorrow I'm going to get pee pads and will try to train him again on those. Other than that, I'm going to make it a habit to walk him down the block in the AM and right before bed (instead of just letting him sniff our back yard). I hope your not as frustrated as me... but, maybe one day this problem will go away, cuz I truly love this little guy! :animal36 |
peeing our yorkiepoo has been so good until today had to take hubby to ER...now our puppy has been bad....missing her wee-pads..and asking her to go out to potty..went to front door and pooped? |

ok...get prepared...you are going to get bashed for hitting your dog...just a warning...because it is coming. Invest in a portable rug cleaner....bissel makes a good one for about $40, they are good to clean up little mistakes. I have one and a full size steam cleaner. I would put him in a crate when I couldn't watch him, and take him outside to potty every 2 hrs or so. If he potties, give him a treat. Positive reinforcement always works better. I would stick with one training method too, Pee pads OR outdoors. |
oh my gosh I wish i didn't see this. PLEASE don't hit your dog :( They are dogs and don't know what they are doing... YOU are a human and you shouldn't get that angry and HURT him. Invest in a carpet washer. |

What if I put a diaper on her while she's in the house, then every hour and a half or so, take her out or put on peepee pad? Which would be better? |

Fergiesmomma, have you taken a look at the other potty training threads? There are a dozen of them at least. Just based on what you've said, I would suggest (1) taking her out more frequently, up to eight times a day if needed, and (2) picking her up as soon as you let her out of the kitchen. Some dogs will pee even if they are off the ground, but it usually helps. Diapers usually confuse the situation. Make a decision about where you want her to go, outside, or on pee pads. If it's pee pads, make sure she has a way to differentiate between the pads and rugs, like putting the pee pads in a tray. |

And do this at least weekly. Keep a close eye on him... if you can't watch him---but him in the crate. Some dogs don't like going on the pads? Some of them prefer going outside---outside works better with me... as I had more accidents when they were going on their pads. If you take them out, when you are home take them out hourly---then slowly increase the time spand. Also, crate when you leave him home. hope that helped and sorry. |

How old is your dog and hs she ever been potty trained? I mean some are trained and then relapse and others have never been completely trained. I would start over completely. keep her in the kitchen or areqa with hard surface floors and put down pee pads. If she does not go to them, then put the pee pads in the spots where she wants to potty. In the evening when the family is watching Tv, let her jin the family, but keep her on your lap or use panties on her. take her out evry hur to 45 minutes. Put her down and tell her to PEE in a stern voice. If she does not go within a minute or two, take her back in. do not allow her off your lap. Wait a half hour to 45 minuutes, take her out again. If she pees praise praise praise, and if you want to treat, do it immediately, do not wait until you get back inside. Just keep repeating this. Don't waste your time scolding her unless you catch her peeing where she is not supposed. if you see her squat to pee, startle her with a firm NO and take her outside. |
in the same boat.....help someone My Jax is almost 5 mths old. We work all day so he is left home by himself. We started confining him to a playpen but he quickly got irritated with being left in that so we confined him to a living room. We put papers and a litter box in the corner and for a while he did pretty good, then we decided to open him up to a little more of the house when we were home and now he pees and poos wherever he wants. Once in a while he hits the paper and we give him a ton of praise but most of the time he goes wherever. The room he is in most of the time is carpet so I have to keep cleaning it to try and get the smell out. My breeder now says that I should confine him to a smaller area during the day with just a litter box and only let him out for short times when we are at home....I have been trying this technique today and he will not go in the box. He has gone in the room, but then everytime I let him out for a little while he goes on the floor somewhere else. What can I do???????????:eek: |

Are you using an enzyme cleaner like Nature's Miracle or any of the others you can get at a pet store? If you aren't, the dog can still smell where it went in the house before, and will continue to do so. Have you tried crate training? It's a big help for dogs that have housebreaking issues. My pup is going to be confined to the crate whenever unsupervised as soon as he's old enough to hold his bladder for four hours. Try tying a leash/harness to your belt and keeping an eye on her that way. Then she can't sneak off to do her thing. (I'm having this issue with my pup as well.) If she starts to have an accident while she's on lead in the house, she'll be within reach for instant correction. How often do you take her out? How old is she? |
WOW! Spanking & getting so mad Because a dog is having a hard time potty trained. I think people really need to have patience. Potty training is a 24 hour thing. |
Hi Fergiesmomma, Sounds to me like she is looking for attention. Have you been really busy lately? Tammy |
My advice is always keep them in a limited space while training. Having the run of the house is too much. Positive reinforcement is all I ever used. I never scolded accidents, just praise, praise, praise, and a food reward when they do it right. I really believe positive reinforcement is the best way. Both my girls are fully trained. They want to do what pleases you! Good luck. |
First of all I want you to pretend you are in a foreign country. You can't speak the language. Someone walks up to you and smacks you. What for? You don't know because you don't understand each other. In order to potty train your dog you have to learn to speak dog. They don't have a voice so they have to rely on their motions. It is up to you to watch carefully to see the signs. They give them each and every time they have to potty. They will keep going back to that same spot if you do not neutralize the smell on that spot. Clean it up. You don't have to yell at them when you do it. They don't know why you are yelling. Keep a constant ...constant eye on them. When you see them starting to potty...say no real sharp and take them out to finish. Give a small treat or tremendous praise and right back inside. When Ahia was a puppy I had her out side every 20 minutes until I found out what her signs to potty were. I guarantee this works. They will soon sit at the door waiting for you to take them out. While potty training my team, I kept all the doors to other rooms closed so I could see them at all times. I have one that is trained for pee pad. She is slowly starting to potty out side now. YEAH! |
Okay, unless I missed a post Fergiesmomma, never said that she spanked her dog please please read all of the posts before commenting. Tammy |

Buster is doing the same thing - having accidents everywhere! (MORE) If I look around our rooms, I'll find 6, 7, 8...potty accidents :( I'll clean them up with Nature's Miracle, but a couple weeks later...more accidents! :( This is the only training thing he isn't getting better at...he has stopped biting, generally stopped barking, but the potty accidents continue! :( Advice? |
