Our puppy is still having wee's in the house and we have to take him outsid quickly when he starts squatting. When we take him in the garden, he'll come back in and wee on the paper. How do we train pup to ask to go out and how can we stop him weeing when he comes back indoors?

Hi B17_Fan

I found the easiest way was to train at that age was to every 30 mins or so i took my pup outside let him sniff around a while and whenever he did something i gave loads of praise followed by a treat

Whenever he had an accident indoors i was told to ignore him and not make an issue out seemed to work as he soon got the hang of it

Hi,
You'll need lots of patience,a puppy doesn't have any control over there bladder until they are around 6 months old.
You are doing the right thing by taking your pup out,stay out there with him until he performs,however long it may take,reward with lots of praise & a high value treat such as cheese,chicken etc......

Maybe link a word such as Be a "clean"boy whilst he is performing,so he assoicates the two together,personally I never use paper as I think it tends to take puppies longer as you are giving the signal it's ok to go indoors,so you may want to rethink and take it up.

When he Toilets Indoors,simply pick him up put him outside,don't say anything to him,Ignore what he has done & clean the area with Biological washing powder to get rid of the smell.

Young pups need to go out every hour,after meal times,playtimes,sleep etc....
You will get there it just takes time & patience.
Good Luck!

We got our lab pup from a rescue at 10 month old after being in an unknowledgeable home. Pooed in the hallway overnight in the first few weeks. His bowels were just too lazy to hold it and he had no idea that it was a massive no no. He got put outside as often as possible with big 'good boys' and treats when he pooed outside. I agree with the paper comment, i.e. chuck it. It makes weeing inside 'normal' whereas you want everything to happen outside!

It's just not nice though... Mine also had the squits when he pooed inside... ***vomits***

I would take the paper he has weed on inside outside, that way it already smells of him and he should get the idea that he can go on the paper outside, also with the paper left inside its sending out confused signals and he proberly can't understand why hes not surposed to use that.

There is a spary you can get which you spray where you want the dog to go, I found that helped with mine, also taught him that he could have a wee in the woods (prior to that he saved it all up for the garden when he got home!) as he got used to the smell and assicated it to where he could go.

I think the rule of thumb is that after every meal/drink/nap/playtime you need to go out, and if he has a specific place that he is going indoors then keep our eye out for it, if you can then sit near it then when your dog does his tell - walks in a circle, tail up etc. then you can call "outside" all happy and exicted and run to the door. he will soon learn to go to the door.

I always gave mine a treat when he went outside and gave lots of praise.

It can take a lot or time and patientce so good luck and just stick with it!

when we had our 1st pup at my parents house years ago he was trained on paper- he got confused if we put him outside until we put the paper down out in the garden. once he gets used to going on the paper outside, gradually take it away. it should work.

were being brave with the pup my fiance and i just bought. no paper- just watching him, taking him out lots, and trying to get him going outside asap!!!
