So she is doing this things not in apartments but on veranda :( i really don't know how to house train 1 year old dog...I'm going for a walk very often with her...It's happen that i'm walking her for two hours and she is not doing something...or she is doing but sometimes and only "pee" and when we coming home she running to veranda to make this things :( Please help me!!! I'm spending most of my time cleaning veranda :evil: P.S: On the photo is another dog Quote
Sanvean Posted July 1, 2003 Posted July 1, 2003 Hmmmm...that's a tricky one! At least she's going outside, right? ;) Have you tried limiting her access to the veranda? Quote
flypegasus Posted July 2, 2003 Author Posted July 2, 2003 yes she is going outside,it's good she is not doing her things inside flat :) i was trying to limit her acces to veranda,but sometimes it's worck and most of the time not :-? My other dog yorkie-Pheobe going outside and she is only 3 month old :angel: I'm worry that later she will learn from other dog to do her things at veranda :o [/i][/b] Quote
DogPaddle Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 Well, this is fairly labour intensive but it worked when Zaphod was being paticularly lax about where he went and it worked when my mom's dog had a bit of a backslide in her house training. 1. Feed and water the dog. 2. Play with the dog for 15 min. (This keeps dog active, moves things along and keeps them in your site so they can't make a mistake.) 3. Crate the dog in a crate of appropriate size for 5 - 10 min. (No room for dog to mess and lay down elsewhere in the crate.) 4. Take the dog out to do its business for 5-10min absolute max. 5a. If the dog goes - praise and play outside for a bit more - this is so dog doesn't learn that if it goes its nice walk is over. Then bring inside, allow to be loose in house for 20 min under your supervision, crate for 10 min. and go to step 4. again. 5b. If the dog doesn't go - calmly bring inside leave free in house for 5 min under your direct supervision if you like and crate for 15min (This is not to punish the dog but to ensure that the dog cannot make a mistake) and repeat step 4. If your dogs bladder and other capacity is larger you can expand the times when he is free in the house and in the crate. The reason for the crate is to encourage the dog to wait till outside to go, to ensure he can't make mistakes in house (or on veranda) and to make sure his bladder or other are a bit more full when you do go out. Every day expand the time the dog is free and under supervison. You can expand the time in the crate up to 15min. If the dog doesn't go in the first 5-10 min max outside always bring right in until the dog is trained. Praise and then play or walk for more time if the dog does go in the first 5-10min. Keeping the dog in view is crucial because each mistake reinforces the bad behaviour and is like un-training. My mom had to keep Abbey on a long leash attatched to her ankle for three days. Zaphod was straightend around inside of 2 weeks. Quote
flypegasus Posted July 4, 2003 Author Posted July 4, 2003 Thank you very much for your advise :) I'm going to do it from today,i don't want to loose time Quote
Elsastarr Posted July 11, 2003 Posted July 11, 2003 I just thought of something, did you rescue your baby from a shelter or a rescue program? Because if it's a rescue program, & they sometimes put the babies in foster homes, they deal with all ages & situation....you might want to ask them too. Dogpaddle gave terrific advice, but I just wanted to bring up the rescue thing...oh, you know you might see if there is a rescue group like that, if you did your rescue from a shelter.~By the way~go for you, :angel: it's always a wonderful option, I bring rescue up to all people inquiring about my babies. xxxoxxx Quote
flypegasus Posted July 11, 2003 Author Posted July 11, 2003 Hi. Thank you for taking part in my topic :) I rescued my dog from shelter..By the way she start to learn were she should go to the toilet :D Quote
Elsastarr Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 :fadein: If you continue to have problems, I'll be glad to call some rescue people for advice, too. But, hopefully what you have started now will work. :fadein: Have a super paw-paw kind of a day Quote
