HELP!!!! My entire house is a potty:( I am working as a teacher until Wednesday and our Renesme' who is 18 weeks old will use the entire house as a potty. I feed her at around 6:30am then take her out to relieve herself around 7:00ish. Then I leave water out for her. I was putting her in her crate, but felt badly for leaving her there for so long-I don't get home until 4:30 or 5:00. Then I feed her again and take her out around 30 to 45 min. later. The question I have is how do I correct her this potty behavior once I am home everyday beginning next Wednesday. She currently goes pee and poo when she feels like it and where she feels like it.:mad::mad: At night she sleeps in her crate with no accidents. Also, when she is in the car, no accidents or pee or poo cause she needs too. TIA for you help and ideas. Amber Isbell |
I just read a great book on this topic - "Everything You Need to Know About House Training Puppies & Adult Dogs!" By Lori Verni. If your house has been converted to a potty - she teaches you how to "reclaim the den". She also lists various crate-ing schedules and helped me to realize that quality crate time is important to help train the bladders. Too much crate time alone can be very cruel - so recruiting someone to be there when you can't be is also an important step. I highly recommend the book - it was a quick and comprehensive read. |
Stop letting her have the run of the house..... |

bathroom In my house we jump fences. My yorkies are not allowed on the carpet they mark spots. Get a fernce and make that dog pee on a pee pee pad. Hang them or lay m down. Train her i have two doggy doors. My guys go outside. You are the boss but yorkies are hard to train. Patience love yorkies are the best |
Yorkies are hard to train. We have a dog door, sometimes Bella will be outside and come in and pee on the floor, then go back out. Big sigh. She's doing better everyday! Hang in there. |
It there a way you can keep in 1 room or use a baby gate to make it so she isn't running around all over while your gone? We do both here- pee pee pads while we work, and outside when we're home. |
Have you thought about an ex-pen. you could set it up the elongated way and put her bed in the end food in the middle and a pee pad at the other end. If she has total run of the house she will not learn where u want her to go. |
If you have room for xpen in the house that would be good, you could put her crate in there, pee pad, and water. In my last home I had the kitchen gated. Now in this home I fence the laundry room when we leave. When they know we are getting ready to go, they will go in by themselves and get in their beds, that I always keep in there. A bathroom would work well too. I don't believe any dog should have the run of the house when you aren't home. I think they feel more secure as well being in a familiar smaller space. I am not a fan of keeping a dog crated, not enough room to move. |
I wouldn't give her the run of the house. Its too overwhelming for them. It would e the equvilent of you living in the middle of giants stadium. Too much too soon. I would keep her in one room, all the time for now. When you are out the bathroom is plently of room. A bed, water, food and pee pad is fine. |
