I attatched jingle bells to the back door and ring them before we open the door to go out. I stay out there until she goes then I give her a treat for going. A young pup really needs to go out frequently. When my dog was a puppy I took him out about every 2 hours if not less while he was awake. Every two to 3 hrs during the night til he was a few months old.
The key is consistancy and don’t give them a chance to have an accident in the house.
Good luck.

Yeah, that’s an annoying problem.

1. Clean the areas in the house with vinegar or Pet Cleaner to get rid of any small that may linger… you won’t be able to smell it, but she can. If you can clean the floor underneath, that may help.

2. If you can get just a tiny bit of poop, enuff for smell, then take it outside and put it on the ground in the location that you want her to go.

3. If she sniffs around, or after she eats, then Put a leash on her and take her outside and stand near the toilet spot for about 5 min. If she goes, then praise the little pisher If she doesn’t go, then bring her inside, and clamly put her in her crate.

4. If she is not house-trained, then she has not earned the right to roam the house unattended. So, either keep her within watch (so you can take her outside, just in case), or place her in the crate, with a chew toy.

If you can’t get her house-trained in a couple of weeks, then you may need a trainer to help you out. There may be some small thing that you are unaware that you are overlooking…

you only half trained her,, instinctually she Will not soil her crate.. however,, the minute she is let out of her crate she needs to be put on a leash and taken outside by you and you need to wait there with her until she goes potty,,, if she does not go,, she goes back in the house and right back into the crate… try again in 15 minutes.. when she does go potty outside praise her…

I took my dog out every 2 hours exactly and that worked in like 3 days. We don’t take her out that often now, but it made her know to go outside.

Are you giving her praise, so she realizes it’s good for her to go outside? Treats really reinforce this too. It’s good to discipline but remember she needs praise too!

Puppies need to pee a lot. You should put them out after they eat, sleep, drink and play. And if you’re not watching her 24′7 (A bit hard) then there are going to be a few accidents. Just keep with it!

Puppy pads help too! They have a scent on them that attracts the dog..

Make sure she doesn’t have a urinary tract infection.
