help wanted with house training dog!

harlina

if she didnt know how to house train it her self in the first place she shouldnt have got the dog!

I think it was brave to take on a non house trained dog and ask for advice. Dismissing somebody who has taken on an older dog and telling them they shouldn't have got it is very negative........

We try to deal with the situation as it is, not how it would be in an ideal world. There's a box with Forum Etiquette to the right of your screen which starts:

Pls be nice to all MoneySavers. There's no such thing as a stupid question, and even if you disagree courtesy helps.

Martin also says:

BE NICE TO OTHER MONEYSAVERS

Remember, MoneySaving should be fun. Everyone using these boards is here for the same reason, to save money. The site’s motto is “Please be nice to other MoneySavers”. It should go without saying, but please remember that when using this forum. Please report any abusive/offensive/racist comments to [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

Thank you.

Hey, I'm wanting to push my dog forward in her training. She's doing pretty good, !!!!ing/pooping outside when we take her out...!!!!ing on her paper in the house when she needs to go, she got the whole sit/lay down thing...course she regresses a bit now and then but she's only 3 and a half months old. I'd really like to speed up the whole 'only peeing outside and not needing paper' thing too.

Remove the paper. It is confusing for the dog. First you are training them that it is ok to pee/poo indoors and then you expect them to know that it's ok not to once they start to get the hang of going in the garden. The dog does not understand that one day it is acceptable to go on paper and the next its not.

Take the paper away and take the puppy into the garden every time you want her to toilet. She will probably still have accidents inside unless you are 100% vigilent but you should just ignore them and clean up with something like biological washing powder diluted in warm water.
