HELP me teach my puppy that the world is not her toilet.?
I have a 3mth old 1/2 lab 1/2 pit. she is beautiful and really sweet. We have her pretty well house broken until night time. We wake up to take her out but she will not use it. Then as quick as we bring her back in *BAM* she goes right in our bedroom floor [ #1 & #2]. It's making me crazy. I'm cleaning up a mess every night. Does anyone have any advice??

hahhaha puppies are such little bundles of joy.
I had this issue with my puppy a few times and I caught on - take her out, bring her in and take her right back out again even if its in and out the door. Shes in a habit now of going out, comming in and going, the location doesnt matter its the routine that matters and what she remembers. Also, how are you training her? Iam going to suggest using a crate / kennel. Its been proven to be the best way out there although sometimes misunderstood. You're going to have messes in there, hands down, not because of them not being house broken but because they need to learn how to control their bladders so dont freak if there is a mess in the mornings in her kennel. But, once this routine is established, go get her from her crate in the morning, soon enough she'll be running to the door! My pup didnt come out of a crate at night until she was a year and a half. Its a process - but its worth it!
Be consistant and help her into a routine and she will catch on, I promise : 0) As well, dont forget that its perfectly normal to have a puppy go from being perfectly 'house trained' to its old bad habits all over again, its just consistancy and patience!
Enjoy!!!

Crate training. Many articles on the internet about how. It will work and will work in as little as a week, or perhaps 3 weeks. Depends on the dog. BUT, you will stop cleaning messes DAY ONE.

Uh- 3 months is NOT "pretty well house broken"-not even close.
Get a book on crate training and housebreaking, crate training is the best and easiest way to housebreak a dog.

training your domestic dog to apply the lavatory is an exceedingly gradual and problematic job, besides the indisputable fact that it is extremely very well worth the attempt. It took Fluffy very almost 6 months to income to wipe wisely. do not use scented lavatory paper and confirm it is effective and comfortable-- canines like the quilted kinds ultimate.
