How do you unteach litter box training in a dog?

I would imagine that you just have to take the time to explore different things. I'll tell you what worked for me... I did the paper thing, moved it closer and closer to the door. Everytime they peed, I would take them outside, praise them when and IF they did go outside. That's all okay, but what I ended up doing was hanging a rope with bells from the door and everytime we went out, I would hit the bells with my dogs paw, and then get obnoxiously excited. Pretty soon they caught on and now they ring the bells when they need to go out! Works great!!!!!

Unfortunately, it'll be harder to teach her to use the bathroom on the grass. Since she's not comfortable going on the grass, I would recommend putting the litter box on the grass outside and letting her get used to being outdoors when she's using the bathroom. Then, try to get rid of the box and put newspapers down on the ground with litter on top to encourage her to go without it being in a box. Then, get rid of the newspaper and gradually use less litter on the ground. Soon, she'll be able to see that there's grass poking through the litter and it's okay to go on the grass. I'm not sure it'll work because I don't know a dog who's litter box trained, but you could try. I hope this helped. Good luck!

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/aMU9B

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.

It all depends on how old the dog is, and how long it's been trained to do this. The older the longer it will take. But a puppy would be easy. I agree with what someone said about putting the box near the door. At some point remove it, start taking them outside. I used a word command, "go to the bathroom" and my dogs go on the spot. When she does go outside, reward her with a treat and pet her. She will catch on. In the meantime beware of accidents on the floor.

I wouldn't scorn her, just say no, and take her outside and say "go to the bathroom". She will catch on eventually, then again repeat with a treat, so on.

Move her litter box, or puppy pad closer and closer to the door, every couple of days. Let her get used to the new area and then move it to a new one not too far away.

Eventually get to the point where her puppy pad is outside, and then continue to move it further and further into the yard.

Eventually she'll understand outside=potty and will whine at the door to go out.

Takes patience though, and she'll probably have some accidents after you move the pad outside the door.

Place the litter box outside where you want your dog to relieve itself. Take it to this spot with your other dog. After a few times, take the box away but still take it to the same spot. Your other dog can also assist with the training by example. Also look into Cesar Millan, the Dog Whisperer...on cable or internet.

Always easier to teach a dog what you want it to do, rather than what you don't want it to do.

How about starting with putting some of the pads outside to see if she'll go on them when they're outside?

There are also toilets for dogs too for people in apartments that can be placed on the balcony. But for future problems associated with indoor pottying, your dog will always want to go somewhere indoors and that includes fluffy carpets and paper items.

if she is a small dog, you can carry her outside and sit with her calmly in the grass for a little while, then go back inside and do it again the next day. take her litter box outside.

move the pad closer and closer to the door each time and then put the pad outside the door... when shes sniffing around the door you'll know she has to go.... eventually put the pad on the grass and maybe she'll get the point.

of course lots of praising too :)
