I need help potty training my dog, hopefully someone really experienced in dogs can answer!?

I actually empathise with you because I have a b itch who refuses to do anything, until it becomes totally urgent, off her property - outside mind you. We were away overnight, twice and the first time she didn't pee for 22 hours (I was about to find a vet to catheterise her). No poohing at all much as she went just before we left and hadn't eaten much since. The second time she decided to pee roughly 12 hours after leaving home. Bitches can, I'd suggest, be difficult because unlike males, they don't normally 'over-cock'!!

Best I can offer is you keep taking her outside regularly, saying the words you want to use. When/if she empties praise her. If she doesn't and you know exactly how long it's been since the last time, and that she must have a need, bring her back indoors but stay with her in the room by the door. The moment she goes to squat, say Don't you Dare, and take her back outside. If she has a mistake you miss, just clean it up without comment. When you can't supervise her, crate her but you absolutely must not leave her in there for longer than 2 hours with a puppy, extending to 4 hours. Plus overnight although puppies need to be taken out once during the night. There's no point punishing her unless you catch her in the act, and correct - don't punish. There is a difference. If she doesn't link what she's doing with your reaction, all she'll hear is you being angry, not why.

Absolutely do NOT give her a laxative. That could just give her diarrhoea indoors as well!!! Nice. And the need for a BM should be easier to regulate - digestion in the dog takes about 4 hours. And she should need to empty roughly as many times as she has meals, maybe plus one more.

No toilet pad. That won't do anything but confuse her - she needs to understand she does NOTHING indoors.

Dogs are vulnerable in the moments they are relieving themselves, so they will hold it as long as possible if they don't feel safe. Is there a space outside that maybe has a bush or some type of protection where you can always take her to potty? Dogs want to go in the same spot they've gone before.

To stop her from pottying indoors, use this method: Schedule-Confine-Supervise

Schedule- the feeding and potty times. An adult is fed twice a day. A puppy is fed four times a day up to 10 or 12 weeks, then three times a day through adolescence. They need to potty first thing in the morning, last thing at night, within a few minutes of every meal, and every few hours in between. The “in between” hours are calculated by their age in months: 1 month = 1 hour, up to 6 months/hours. So, a three month old puppy should be taken to potty every three hours in between the other scheduled times. When the dog/puppy is taken to potty, wait with him as he ‘does his business’ and then praise like crazy. The neighbors should be able to hear you.

Confine- the puppy or dog whenever it is not being watched. Confinement can be in a crate (especially at night), an exercise pen, or behind a baby gate in a very small and puppy-proofed room.

Supervise- the puppy or dog whenever it is loose in the home. This means having eyes on it, not on the TV. Play with the puppy, do a five minute training session, groom it, or just let it lie at your feet with a safe chew, but have it within sight at all times. If it squats then give a loud “NO” or “ACK” as you scoop and run to the appropriate potty spot.

Do not let the dog return to the accident spot until it has been thoroughly cleaned and then wiped with white vinegar or a commercial enzyme product to remove all urine odor.

Honestly, if you're thinking of giving away your puppy because she won't toilet outside then you shouldn't really own a puppy at all. THEY ARE LIFETIME COMMITMENTS. You don't give up on the first hurdle, heck... you don't even give up on the fifth. You are responsible, she's your problem and no one else's. TRY TRY AND TRY, continue taking her to the garden everytime she toilets. Leave her in the garden for 10 minutes a time after she toilets indoors, if she has a toilet pad then you should little by little move it toward the garden door everyday and then eventually take it outside, after she starts toileting on it outside, remove it completely. Do not punish her for toileting indoors, she is a puppy and I presume she has been toileting indoors since birth. It's not her fault, transitions take time and you both need to be patient. Do some research, I'm not an expert and neither are most people here. It's easy information to find. Good Luck and please don't give up on her <3

You have to stay out with the dog until the deed is done. Bringing the dog indoors before it has pooped and peed outside is only going to reinforce pooping indoors for it. It's like training the dog to do it indoors.

Try the bells put them on your door and ring them every time you take dog out he will get use to it and start ringing it on his own and that will let you know they want out.. I swear by this train both my great danes like this.works great..
