Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Hi, everyone. I got my little pup about two weeks ago, and I've been trying to house break her. She's very playful and lovable, but she doesn't seem to get the concept that she needs to do her business outside. I take her out every hour, every time she wakes up from her naps, and after playtime. She does go pee when i take her outside, and I kinda have a tell when she needs to go poop and so I take her out, and 10 minutes later, still hasn't pooped; And once we get into the house she goes and poop... Also about the peeing thing, she does pee outside when I take her out very often, but she pees onside the house as well.
Thank you in advance and hopefully you guys can give me tons of tips. I would really appreciate it. Btw, my dogs name is Elsa. I'm still trying to figure out how to upload pictures, so once I figure it out, I'll post some. |

| Sounds like she has too much freedom right now. I would keep her tethered to you at all times indoors so that you can catch her in the moment it happens.
Are you crate training her?
What are your reactions when you catch her in the act? |

| Thanks for the reply. And yes, I would say she has too much freedom... I'll work on that. And every time I catch her in the act, I immediately pick her up and take her outside. In some cases, I'm just a little late in catching her. And, yes, I am crate training her, barely... I still need to work on that aswell. And in regard to having too much freedom, what can you recommend I do, to minimize any accidents... Thank you! |

| Keep her tethered to you or on leash at all times, don't let her run around, and crate train her, for real. |

I'm still trying to figure out how to upload pictures, so once I figure it out, I'll post some. I struggled with Potty Training in the first week or so, Snowie is fairly controlled now, but when I first got him he used to save his pee just so he could spot pee all over the house. What I did was reward him profusely when he went where I wanted him to. Usually in the form of treats or kibble. He does his business on the side of the house on a rocky patch. When I catch him in the house he receives a firm 'No' or 'Stop' and then me lifting him and taking him straight outside, if he goes again outside, he gets a treat, if not then he is not rewarded. Additionally, reducing freedom, by leashing the pup either to yourself or a confined spot where you can catch them helps a great deal. From what you have said you are already regimenting your pups bathroom breaks which is great. The only other addition I have made is to say "Do you need to go to the bathroom" as I carry the pup out after an accident. After a few weeks I have noticed that asking the question now, will actually bring Snowie straight to the garage door if he has to go. Hope this helps. |

| This puppy is 8 weeks old. You need to have some patience. There is no accurate bladder control until 6 months. Right now she is little and can't hold it. It will happen in time, not overnight. |
