Puppy potty training question...?

Don't take her outside every hour, it does get old. What you have to do is reinforce her action of going potty outside with a phrase that she can associate it with. If it makes her happy to go outside then use a phrase such as " go outside" , 'Go Potty" or what ever you want to come up with. It takes time to get them fully trained. Also, she is still young enough that you can use the food method, to do this, just regulate her feeding times. she will go to the bathroom within 15-20 minutes of eating, maybe a bit longer considering 2 months old. Either way, if you feed her at 9,1,4,8 then give it about 5-10 minutes, watch her close and then take her outside. Also look for excessive sniffing around corners and in areas she's gone before. It means she's looking for a place to do her thing.

Crate training. Without question the most effective way to housebreak your dog is to crate train it. There are dozens of books and trainers that will give you more information, but the basics are this:

Eating or drinking stimulates the puppy's need to go.

The puppy will not soil its own sleeping place.

Consistent praise or punishment will imprint in the puppy's mind what is appropriate or inappropriate behavior.

Don't forget that the dog's mom also praises an corrects the puppy, using "dog language," i.e. a growl or the mom using her mouth to pin the puppy from the neck, or licks and squeaks for encouragement or praise.

To crate train, initially when the dog is alone at home, when you're sleeping, or when you can't watch the dog, put her in the crate. When she is let out of the crate, she goes straight outside- you should watch and praise her when she goes. Right after eating, she goes outside and goes and gets praise. If in either instance she doesn't go, she goes back in the crate for 15 minutes. Then go outside again, repeating the cycle until she goes. It should only take a few repetitions of this cycle until you don't have to watch her outside- leave her out for a few minutes, then let her in.

When she's inside, she MUST be watched. If she goes, a firm "NO" is given, pick her up by the scruff of his neck and put her outside. If she gets away with peeing or pooping in the house, she doesn't learn. There's a balance between prevention (letting her out so she doesn't even have the urge when inside) and correction (you don't want to punish her a dozen times, but a couple of corrections aren't bad because it gives her guidance as to what is proper behavior).

Once she learns where to go, she'll let you know that she has to go outside to go to the bathroom.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aL1vC

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Training a dog is training yourself to recognize the signs. We just went through this with a westie and trust me-dogs can't tell time. Try keeping her on a light leash all the time and with you. She is not mature enough to know she has to tell you and until she learns this you will be making a lot of trips. Take her to the door and always say the same thing -"Do you have to go to the bathroom?" Get excited about it. Take her out and then again give her the exact same order -whatever you decide. We used "go to the bathroom " . Keep her on a leash so you can contol where she goes and keep saying the same command over and over. When she does go-and she will-get very excited show her what she did and tell her how good she is. Dogs like to go in the same area where they have gone before and the smell helps them to know this is what you expect of them. The pooping is pretty much the same. Take her out about 20 mins after she eats. Any time you see her sniffing around-out you go. We got our Westie as a rescue . The owners said she was untrainable. She took about 6 weeks to become 100% reliable but it was me that had to be trained iniatially to recognize when she had to go. Never let her out of your sight for now. If you have to do something that she can't tag along put her in her crate. Be diligent. She will get it but remember she is just a baby.

You need those puppy papers for inside. They are a square like diaper that lay on the floor. Put it in a place you don't want people to see and keep it in the same spot. Then when the puppy starts using it you can put one outside so it understands outside is good. Slowly take away the one from inside. It just takes time and you can always take it for a walk to help it understand what to do outside. Get it into a habit.

puppies need to be taken out every hour, get used to it,thats just the way it is, their bladder and GI tract are very short so it doesnt take long to go right through them.

most dogs dont let you know, its not a human its only been on this earth two months!!

when she eats take her outside after she is done as most dogs poop within an hour of eating due to mass movements. feed twice a day, dont free feed, this way you will be able to predict her poo. even when she is full grown she will still be pretty small, and need to be taken out about every 4 hours.dogs will take up alot of your time and money, but they are worth it. if you catch her pooing in the act pick her up and put her outside while she is still pooping.dont punish her or rub her nose in it. she doesnt know she is doing wrong, its your job to show her the right thing to do. try putting her terds in the grass where she goes.natures miracle works really good for stains, its sold at petco

sometimes it takes a while to completely potty train a dog. my puppy will have an occasional accident and he is almost 6 months old. one thing to do is to give a reward like a dog treat every time she goes out and uses the bathroom. and remember 2 months old is still really young she will get it.

one more thing to watch out for. i had a cock er spaniel and he was notorious for peeing on you if he got to excited. this is something that just happens sometimes

good luck

well your are doing a good job

my chiuauah was hard to train( she still has accidents) whenever we go outside we take her with us and she just runs arounds and plays and does her business. whenever we see her go we tell her what a good baby she is and love on her and give her a treat. we ask her periodically during the day and night if she has to go. if she has to go potty she will start dancing around and run to the door.

She only started doing that when we started asking her did she need to go. when she does this and she goes outside and pottys we praise her and tell her how smart she is and she will just dance. it is so cute she stands up on her hind legs and spins around.

Just keep up the good work and don't loose patience.

The earlier you start correct potty training the better. The fact that she pees outside is a good start but if she poos indoors you really need to train her out of that as fast as possible.

I used this program and I can thoroughly recommend it. Good luck to you and your puppy!

Don't really understand your problem....the puppy doesn't poop/pee INSIDE. If you didn't want the responsibilities of taking care of a dog (i.e. taking her out every hour) you shouldn't have gotten her. From what I can tell, you have a good puppy! Your problem will start when she begins being BAD and doing things INSIDE!!!!!
