Dog question?

I was told by my vet that you can hang a bell attached to the end of a rope on you door knob. Make sure he can reach it. When you take him out side to relieve himself ring the bell. Do this every time and he should get the idea. Giving him another way to tell you he is ready is the idea. Good luck.

Put her on a feeding schedule, no food or water after a certain time, say seven at night, and make sure she pottys before you go to sleep. Be consistant and persistant in getting it right. Throuhgly clean up any accidents. She will go back to the smell of where she's been before, so clean it up completely or she'll have an accident again. This can alos work to your advantage, as you can use this scent to train her. If she can't hold it all night, either set your alarm clock to wake you up in the middle of the night to take her out, or don't let her in your bed until she's potty trained. Crate training may be a very good option. There are thousands of books and websites online to help you learn how to do it. But definitely do the feeding schedule, as the feeding schedule will probably help you more than you'll realize.

dog will not go in the crate is a myth. they are just lik eyou or I they can only hold it so long. If you want a real mess to clean up, try having a dog even a small dog go in the crate!!! Oh you do not know what a mess is till you have a miserable dog covered in sutff and a cage all covered in stuff. UGH!!!

I like the idea of the bell or just learning to sleep lighter.

We got a large flat pan for our dogs. YOu can get them at the hardware store, they go under hot water heaters. We got the water proof crib padsthat are coveredin material. We put a pad in teh pan and our dogs can go there if they have to go and can not go out side. Clean up is easy . A little TP to remove the solid wastes and wash the pad just like you would if it had been on a babies bed and wet on. Your pet shop might have an attractant to get he to go. A few drops of ammonia will often let theim know this is a potty spot.

But really teaching he to us anoise maker is a great idea providing it will wake you up.

Hey third idea. Set your alarm and get up to let her out ever 4 or 5 hours. Most people can easily tolerate getting up once or even twice through the night. With out feeling deprived of sleep.

My dogs never bark when they need to go outside. Whether my dogs want to go out or not, before I go to bed, I always take my dogs out. When I start shutting everything down for the night, my dogs know it's time for serious bedtime. My beagle will wait for me at the front door and after she comes in, my other dog will go out.

During the day, my dogs always go to the door if they have to go out. As a rule, I usually ask them to go outside every three hours. If they are sleeping, I leave them alone. But as soon as they wake up and start moving around, I take them out.

Sometimes my shepherd will pee in the house. She has diabetes and when her sugar levels go up, she has little bladder control. I don't give her grief over this, because if I do, she will become upset and her blood sugar can go up higher than I care for it to go. I just clean it up. The dog's well being is paramount. After she leaves this earth, I will install a new floor in my kitchen. I was thinking of doing that before I got the dog. Now I'm sure to get it done.

Make sure you let her out right before you go to sleep. Put her water bowl up at night so that she's not drinking all night. Get a bell and try teaching her to ring it when she has to go out. As far as the crate thing, I've tried that with my dogs, and they ALWAYS pooped in the box.. they could be in it for 15 minutes and they pooped. It may work for you though. Good luck :)

It's a lot easier to crate train and the dogs learn to love it. My dog is thrilled to go into her crate at night and it keeps her from going potty where she's not supposed to. They don't go potty in the crate, but you need to make sure that she is out enough during the day. I think it would solve a lot of problems for you. It did for me. A lot of the time people try to humanize they're dog when the people need to set the boundries for the dog.

Training your dog will be a huge part of your interaction with him for the first few months. Learn here https://tr.im/qadDG

This includes housetraining, leash training, obedience training, socialization, and problem solving. In addition to providing your dog with needed skills, this time will also be a great opportunity for you to bond with him. Take the time to really get to know your pet while training him and a loving relationship will easily develop.

I would make sure to take her out before you go to bed and don't give her any more water until the morning, now a days its kind of dangerous to go out in the middle of the night, even if you have your dog with you.

how big is your dog?? is she fed regularly or is she feeding herself freely??? limit her meals and shcedule her mealtime and water time,,, and put her in a crate or sleep area till shes fully trained,,, they usually wont mess where they sleep,,,, we trained our dog by letting him sleep at the foot of our bed when he was a pup and he had accidents in the mornign on the floor cause we werern fast enough getting him outside,,, we were told to get them outdoooors where they go immediately upon rising in the morning, and he is fully housetrained and has been for months,,,

Get a crate (not too large otherwise she can do it in a corner)

or get a Doggy door, so she can go by herself
