House training a two year old dog?
05 Mar 2010
We just moved into a new house and we brought our 2 year old dog with us. At the old house the dog had a doggy door and went outside. In this new house we installed the doggy door, but he doesn’t go outside he pee’s inside. We need a carpet cleaner that will get of old stains (Previous owner had dogs too) and get rid of the odor of the new ones. My second question is, is there any tips in how to re-train my two year old toy poodle.
- Take him to your designated toilet area, and put him down on the grass.
- Wait while he sniffs around – refrain from petting him or playing with him just yet, because you don’t want him to forge an association between this area and games. he has to learn that this part of the yard is for toilet breaks only.
- When he begins to relieve himself, say the phrase you want him to associate with toilet breaks: “Go pee” or “potty time” or whatever works for you. It’s best if that phrase is short and easily recognizable – and use the same voice inflection each time, too (so that your dog can easily memorize the meaning of the phrase.)
- When he’s done, make a big fuss over him: shower him in praise and affection, and give him a little treat.
When you take him inside the house, the house training regime you’ve decided upon should start immediately.

anytime you go to a new place with a dog, you need to restrict access and freedom.
i would go back to crate training, and teather the dog to you when hes not in his crate.
no more being loose in the house.
it may just take a few days of this, it might take 2 weeks, but you will be able to give your dog more and more freedom as he remembers that he needs to potty outside at this house too.

Sounds like he’s marking over the previous dog’s scent.
I recommend getting the carpet professionally cleaned - there are many companies that have special Pet Stain and Odor Removal packages. Once you do that, just give him a reminder lesson on house training and he should be just fine.

Hi!
Beyond about six months of age, a dog has much better bladder and bowel control than she did as a puppy, and so is much easier to housetrain. You can usually finish the whole process within a week.
There are three stages to our fail-proof housetraining method:
Introduce your dog to her crate
Set up a playroom
Start housetraining

Hope this helps.
Thank you!
