Welcome to my blog about Potty Training Puppies. This is one of the first tasks to tackle when you bring home your new pet. And, it’s one of the most important. Proper training right from the start will make it easier for you and your new best friend.
We’ve had two dogs from puppies. A Golden Retriever named Pirate who lived until he was 16 and a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier named Una (rhymes with tuna and means ‘unity’ and ‘little lamb’ in Gaelic). Both were crate-trained with great succes.![]()
However, crate-training isn’t the only way to go. As you’ll discover in the various articles and videos on this page, there are a number of methods. The common thread is the use of consistency and patience. Read and view to discover the method that’s right for you.

I have to leave my dog alone for about 7 hours a day and while he is perfect about his house training I hate to make him hold it all day. I was going to get an indoor dog potty just to put out while I am at work but I am afraid it may ruin his house training abilites when it is not availabe. (I was planning on leaving it in the garage when I am home and he can just go outside. Does anyone know if this will have a negative effect on his house training?
While many dogs can hold their need for 7 hours, it is always beneficial if you provide an alternate source for them to go when nature calls. First of all, it’s healthier. It’s not good for the human animal or canines to hold urine too long…but there are times when we all have to hold. Second, as a dog ages - or if he isn’t feeling well - he will be unable to hold the need to go as easily as he did in his younger years. If you successfully train him to use a "mobile potty", then neither he or you have to fear an accident and he won’t have to lie in discomfort. I do have to warn though, I rescue dogs and while it is easy to train puppies to use a "mobile potty", it is not so easy with a mature dog that has already been house trained; however, if he takes to it - it’ll be a blessing to both of you. Getting something with artificial grass will not confuse him about carpet, the artificial grass - obviously, mimics grass in texture which is vastly different than carpet. Also, you mentioned that you were going to place it in the garage so that’s not technically the house and he should easily differentiate the two. The average dog has an IQ of a 4 year old toddler. Some breeds higher so don’t underestimate their ability. To remove the "mobile potty" while your home will only confuse him. With any training, consistency is key. And to be honest, if he does go out to the garage and use it while you are home you should celebrate that. That means he gets it and he’s using it and neither of you have to be burdened when you can’t be there or are running late. I mean if the dog has to go badly - wouldn’t you rather he go in a designated place? Besides, if you walk him at your regular schedules when you’re home, then it’s unlikely he’ll have a need to pee. Bottom line, any dog that I successfully trained to use on has always gone to the balcony to pee/poo and has never gone in the house instead. I hope it works! Like I said, it’s a hit or miss with those things.![]()
Puppy training is important during the first 12 to 16 weeks of a puppy’s life, and it helps them become comfortable with human touch and handling. Help train a well-adjusted puppy with help from a certified dog trainer in this free video on canine behavior.

I have a shiba inu beagle mix she’s proving extremely difficult to potty train. I’ve tried scaring her and taking her quickly outside when she has accident’s inside and I’ve tried giving her treats and praise when she does it outside. She’s still having lots of accidents (at least one a day) and she’s now 11 weeks old I’ve been working with her since I got her at 8 weeks.
I’ve heard of people having to get rid of their beagles because they will not potty train can anyone give me good solid tips to get her trained? I’ve potty trained a boxer american bulldog and a pure boxer with no problem just this shiba inu beagle mix is a a problem to train.

When I scare I have a soda pop can with pennies in, when I see her squatting I shake the can, it scares her and she stops. When I take her outside to finish she only finishes about half the time
Can you correct w/o ’scaring’? Showing displeasure should be enough.
I used the method you are using with my two mixes (and I believe they’ve got beagle and shiba in their mix - although shiba is perhaps unlikely in a regular mutt)
You’ve got to strictly apply two concepts to your approach:
1) corrections must be immediate or the dog won’t know what the correction is for
2) "NEVER FIND IT" - what this means is: when your dog is indoors and not in its crate, it must be under your direct supervision, in your line of site, at all times, so you can always either prevent or immediately correct potties - and you NEVER FIND IT later, after the fact.
If you correct when you see the dog potty - but give it enough freedom to potty where you can’t see - then you train the dog to potty where you can’t see.
Do not feel bad about restricting your pups freedom untill she earns it. If you apply this approach religiously - she will earn it soon enough.

The moral of this video is to not put boundaries on your puppy on what he is or is not capable of accomplishing through spirited training.

My husband’s parents just got themselves a Border Collie puppy. Only thing is his parents have never had a puppy before (they have always adopted adult dogs). His parents are clueless on how to house train a dog but want to learn. What advice can I give them? This is going to be an indoor/outdoor dog as it gets older. Staying indoors at night but will stay outside during the day (cause his dad wants it to be a dog on the look out during the day outside…when its not real hot of course!) If you know anything about the breed let me know too! 
I know borders are one of the most intelligent breeds and are part of the herding group. His parents have a lot of land for the dog to run on. Thanks for your help!!!
first off, congrats to your hubby’s parents for getting a pup!. I think they’ll have allot of fun. House training requires a certain amount of patience.They pup’s bladder is very small and needs to "go" often.The best thing is to insure some type of schedule, early mornings, after meals ect. Second is to know the signs that the pup needs outside. (I trained my Goldie with a cow-bell hanging off the door knob) and a proper praise when he goes outside. Once they "get it"….it’s really just a matter of keeping a schedule.
Perhaps this article I wrote may help too.
Best wishes
