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. |

| Sorry havn't been on here in a while been really busy. Zoe is 5 months now and she still isn't potty trained. I crated her her first week and took her out every hour with rewards. She has never gotten full run of the house. I give her her favorite treat and praise everytime outside. What can I do to get her potty traineddddddd. 90% of my stress with her is the peeing in the house. She never poops just pees and it could be right after we went outside. Could she be marking? Any suggestions.. |

| Might be marking, but I think one way you can really help the situation is by not expecting it all the time. Your dog knows when you are stressed and can be affected by your stress. If you expect a pee everyday it probably will. Has she gotten a tour of the house? or is she confined to one area? Maybe her not knowing other areas very well might cause her to go more. |

| Kota did the same thing when I got her. It use to drive me nuts! It never failed, if we went outside she would want to play and the moment we came in it was time to potty. I didn't understand it. Eventually I learned all her little "habits" and knew when she would need to pee before she even knew.
If we had a play session or she woke up from a nap, chances are she would need to pee 10-20 mins later. I would take her outside as soon as she started getting ansy ad moving around. If she pottied it was a big deal and we made her believe it was too. We saved her special treats, like ham or a hot dog for that occasion. If she didn't potty we would go back inside and try again in 5-10 mins. I kept her with me or tethered to me all the time. She sat on the couh with me and didn't get down unless we were playing or something like that. I even sat with her while she ate/drank.
You learn the things that make them need to potty. Playing, eating, drinking, sleeping. Things like that and if you can get them outside before they realize they need to go you'll have better luck. I would also recommend using a training bell on your door. They sell them at Walmart and most pet store. It's simply a rope with bells that hang on your door. Ring them or encourage her to ring them when you go outside. That way they have something to associate with goin to potty. Kota did great with those. It took a while but now at 7 months he does great and is completely potty trained with few accidents.
I would also try taking her out to potty on a leash if you haven't been doing that so try know it isn't time to play. Kota just wanted to run and play when we took her outside but on the leash she knew it was business only. |
