My puppy..

[GinaeEvans]

Refuses to go outside to potty. He's still sequestered in the dining room/kitchen where the floor is non-absorbent. I really want to let him in the rest of the house with me. It's been a couple of weeks since I've had him, he's five months old and I take him out every hour at least. He isn't getting the point, though.

Does anyone have any pointers? Please?

 

[killallhippies]

trade him for a girl. they're much easier to train.

 

[KylesAlts]

Show him those hairy titties

but here is a pointer for you

I already dished out money to fix him, medicate him, and for all four rounds of shots. He's staying.

Are you still on about that? Oi. -shaking head-

 

[KylesAlts]

No, I ended the thread because you did not comply.
That is a shitty thing to do.
Hairy titties are rare.

But here, see if this helps you. http://www.ehow.com/way_5339980_potty-training-stubborn-puppy.html​

Thanks, I'll have a look.

Also, was it? I'm terribly sorry.

I've trained three puppies very quickly and effectively with this method (all girls, though):

1. Keep him in the crate whenever you're not watching him.
2. When you are watching him, keep him confined in a relatively small space with you and watch him constantly.
3. Wait for him to let loose, and then yell at him and give him several hearty smacks on the ass IMMEDIATELY. Not five minutes later, not one minute later. If you yell at dogs and "rub their noses in it" several minutes later, they'll know that the piss on the floor is bad, but not that it was bad to do it. Dogs don't reason.
4. Immediately after scolding, put the dog outside. If they finish peeing or crapping, immediately praise him and give him a treat. If not, just bring them inside without praising. You want to put the dog outside immediately after an accident so they know that's where it should have been.

Remember, dogs don't reason. To them, learning to pee outside and learning not to pee inside are two different things. You need to let them have "accidents" so they know it's wrong, or else they'll do it when you're not around to let them out.

The most important thing is vigilance. Watch your dog whenever you have a chance, and correct and praise as often as possible. You can send me a PM or a Twitter message if you have any questions.

given enough time they can even wash and iron their own bedding.

 

[XdOu™]

all you need is, a newspaper incase he does go potty in the house

an no, the newspaper isn't to place on the floor, it's to hit him with it on his nose.

hit on the nose? which teaches what exactly?

roll the paper up and ram it up its arse if it shits in the house. pain by association! (and a blocked up arse)

SMACKS ON THE ASS ARE NOT NEEDED.
TO SOME IT IS EVEN CONSIDERED ABUSE.
A SHARP WORD IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED. YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR PUP TO FEAR YOU WHEN HE HAS TO WHIZ.
I HAVE HAD DOGS ALL MY LIFE, AND I HAVE NEVER NEEDED, AND NEVER BEEN TOLD BY A RELIABLE TRAINER, TO HIT A DOG FOR ANY REASON.
Other than that, Blobby is right on.​

I've recently acquired a crate for him. It's helped immensely at night, because he's less likely to soil his "den", but during the day it's a bit more difficult.

Everything I've read states basically everything you've just said. I guess it's just a question of persistence and patience. He is still a baby, after all. -sigh-

But, he is going to be a big boy so it isn't like his puddles are small. Oh well, at least my carpet is still safe.

There's nothing wrong with hitting dogs. That's new age bullshit. In the wild, wolves often bite each other to show dominance, and dogs are no different. They're not children, and a chain of command must be established for the health and well-being of one's dogs. They don't fear their masters, but they respect them, and that's very healthy and natural for dogs. Associating human emotion with animals does no one any good.

Don't treat him differently than you would treat an adult dog. If he's old enough to be away from the mother, he's old enough to train.

Just keep at it, and you'll have him trained soon. All my dogs have been fully housetrained within one month of ownership.

 

[blobfish]

By the way, I'm not suggesting you hurt the dog. Just give them several smacks on the ass with your hand or a rolled up newspaper. This only surprises them, and alerts them to the fact that their behavior is wrong. Don't hit them in the face or other sensitive parts of the body.

Bullshit. Find me a reputable dog trainer that says hitting dogs is an effective way to train them, and I'll find you 100 to 1 that disagree and have proven track records to back them up. I happen to be VERY (VERY)close to a certified animal trainer. This has been a topic of discussion many times.
Yes, you will find nimrods who think they can beat their dog into obedience, and in some ways it may work, but there are much more humane ways to train any animal. Did your parents hityou every time you had an accident when you were being potty trained?

Nope, but I'm not a dog. Did your parents eat your shit?

We're talking about training an animal, not an animal instinct, dumbass. Dogs do not eat poo to teach their pups anything.
Good try at deflection though. I am waiting for the National Beat Your Dog to Obedience in 30 Days information.

blob is a fucking moron. an unqualified, inexperienced imbecile. if you follow his advice then you're an abusive moron.

my advice? when he pisses, soak it up with newspaper and put it outside. when he craps, put it outside. clean the floors inside with either biological laundry detergent or specialist pet odour remover.

at the moment he has no clues. make outside smell like a toilet. stop inside smelling like one.

you start with the basics.

 

[KylesAlts]

Ginae, here is another good link. I would put my trust in an organization that has a good many decades in treating animals well, not someone on a literature or porn board. Myself included in that bunch.

So, how do wolves scold the pups? Do they give them a stern talking to?

My great grandfather trained famous dogs, and my grandfather and mother trained dozens of dogs between them. She taught me how to do it in turn. To my knowledge, not one of those dogs was ever maladjusted. I trained three dogs personally, and all three were/are very happy and well-adjusted. There is absolutely nothing wrong with physical scolding dogs, as long as one does not hurt them. Anyone arguing the opposite is attributing human emotion to animals.
