...act of doing wee's and racing her outside, I don't know how to stop her?
Please help me to (train?) her...
I live with someone and it is tough on us as it marks the carpet too.
Answers:
i used(and still use) puppy training pads that have a special scent in them that makes them want to go on it. i kept my dog in one room until she's shown no problems for a few weeks. if she wets on the carpet or sofa or something i'd clean it up well and spray a "no go" type of spray you get at the petstore. I actually ended up removing the area rug from the room she was in so that she'd stop going on it. (that was before i got the spray) { My neighbor uses dishsoap and water and claims it works the same as the spray and also says it stops them from chewing things too! }
Then i'd let her in to the rest of the house very slowly, one room at a time, always monitoring her at first, until she stops alltogether. Don't yell, rub nose in it, etc.. that just makes them aggressive or learn to hide it better so you don't yell. Then you have a real problem cause you don't know where she's going! Once she's perfected the pad, move it closer and closer to the door and eventually outside. Once she's used to going outside to go on the pad, start bringing her further out to an area of grass or dirt she likes. Use the same area all the time at first to avoid confusion.
I'm keeping my dog both pad and outdoor trained so I don't have to bring her out during extreme temperatures or weather. It's working well so far. If she has to go she usually waits by the door for a minute and if we don't get her in time, she goes on the mat.
Remember to always praise your dog for going on pad or outside. I had good luck getting her to poop outside almost on command by rewarding with treats right after she went. I also say the same stupid thing over and over when I bring her out to poo. "Quickly. Do your business. Do your business quickly..." and now she starts puckering when I say that. Also after she goes to the bathroom outside now she immediatley runs up to me looking for her reward, which is either "good girl" and petting her or a piece of a treat. Most of the time she goes outside because she wants her treat or rewards and on super hot days or raining days I reward her for going on the mat the same way but most of the time I don't see her going on it, i just check it a few times a day.
I'm not sure if it's good to have the dog be both pad and outside trained but it works for me.
I started putting the pads in areas that I saw her going on at first then slowly moved them into an area that was less visible to company but that she could still easily find.
One other hint for clean up. My mom swears buy vinegar and water to clean up the urine. The vinegar counteracts the urine and destroys the scent and while it smells bad also it goes away in a day or so. Another reason dogs go on the carpet is because they smell their own urine on it and that makes them want to use it more so it's important to clean up the stains really well.
Buy pee pads at Petco. They work great. Then gradually move it outdoors
My grandmother house trained her dogs by taking them outside every hour, So they would understand that they had to go outside to do 1 or 2..
well buy some pads next to where your dog sleeps at night inside, then gradually each day bring it closer to your yard outside until the pad reaches the grass. after that, keep it there for a week, the dog will know that's where she poops or pees. they usually sell this pad at any pet store, like: petco, petsmart, etc.
well i hope that i helped! =D
The only i can help is call for the obedient school. Sorry, I can not help you that much.
