Potty training I am desperate for some advice on potty training. Our schedule is up at 6 go outside they pee/poo, come back inside eat, go back outside 2-3 times before they are crated and I leave for work. When I get home at 3, they go outside, do their business come back in and eat etc....Here's my problem, sometimes they(not sure who it is Sammy or Sadie), sometimes pee and poop again inside. I can't seem to make them understand to wait until they go out again which is every hour. Before I joined YT, I googled how to puppy train, and most of them said, keep them with you at all times, on a leash, or in a certain room. They do good if they are on the leash(but have had some pee/poo times right in front of me):mad:. I yell no when they start, take them outside to let them finish, but it seems like they just don't get it yet. I'm hoping after Sammy is fixed Thurs, this will get better. Any advice is greatly appreciated:) |
Sounds like you are on the right track. Make sure you praise for every good potty outside, really act excited! My boys are 2 and 3 years old and we still praise like crazy: "WooHoo! Great job! Good boy!" Clean the accident spots with an enzyme cleaner to remove all scent. Dogs have better noses than we have and may be attracted to return to spot, or the scent may even give them the urge to go. You are right to limit their freedom so that you can closely supervise until they are fully potty trained. When they do potty in the house right in front of you, giving a sharp no is okay, but don't act too angry. Taking them outside often is very good. Also, make sure they go out after every meal, or playtime, or when they first wake up from a nap, or when they are excited. Excitement usually brings on the urge to potty. Neutering often helps with marking, but doesn't impact good potty habits. Best wishes to Sammy for a speedy recovery after surgery Thursday. |
