Welcome to our Puppy Potty Training Live Chat Event!

I have a dog that is 2 years old and was never trained to potty outside. I work and my family help take him out during the day. He is struggling to be trained. Help!

diaper pads in one spot im a foster family and we did that for the pups worked great and keep bringing her outside in one spot as well and when she does her thing say potty in a happy congratjalative way

i have a 6 week old shichon (bichon frise /shi tzu) i am training her to use to pee pads and what i have been doing is taking every time i think she needs to go to the bathroom now she goes there alone probably 50 % of the time. i just wanted to know if im doing the right thing. after she goes on the pad i praise her and give her a puppy treat.

MY bijon i put him on his dog pads and he was 8wk  at my door going outside, Now he is 3yrs and when we leave the house he will go to his dog pads, They will start on the pad and look outside and will be ready to go outside.

need help!! i have a 5 month old and almost 8 month old toy party poodles.. i have crate trained them.. one a girl one a boy…… the girl(5months) will pee in her crate and lay in it… I have told them no! inside and praise them going outside.. i take them out side seems every hour.. and they still wanna pee on the floor and sometimes poop! when they are out of thier crate.. when they wake up….. from being in thier crate all night the start to pee when i taxi cab them to outside… i realy dont want to use puppy pad =/ they are also… confined to the living room and kitchen they dont roam the house… they also dark bark or let me know in anyway they have to go.. they just go…. I clean where they go up.. w/ vinegar.. or sometimes puppy stuff… we also tried bell training.. they dont even try to ring the bells… i tried about everything lol I also stay at home mom…heelp me im to the point of giving up!

My Puppy is afraid of the outdoors- I go out with him some times, but even then he still is scared.  I will bring him in after 10 mins or so, and then he will go on the kitchen floor

I have potty pads available for my 2-year-old neutered male chihuahua, but he still likes to mark territory everywhere in the house.  We have had him almost 10 months.  I also have diapers that work when they’re on, but I would rather not have to use them.  He will mark his scent outside behind my other dogs, but then come inside and use the potty pad, or just go in the basement whenever he feels like it. 

I think this is how I would Chat with someone I have a 9-10 week old pupp Ive had her since 6 weeks the first two days I had her she would go to the door scratch/wine to want out  now she dont ask out unless she sits there without anyone knowing we try to keep a vary close eye on her because shes training I take her out just as much as my others I have a pop up pin I put my other two in and they will go while they are outside Kaylee will not she holds it til you bring her in and bam in the floor what I have been doing is if she pottys in the floor I take her to the site make her sniff it and tell her bad we dont potty inside and creat her to giv her a time out she dont have a spot she wants to go to all the time its just where she can to get by with it how do I stop this? ao outside and not in the house/creat I line the creat with newspaper and she goes at night in her cage how do i teach her to want to beg to go out?

My 1.5 yr old engl bulldog loves to pee everywhere when we go for a walk. How can I stop this? Btw he’s a male. Thx

We are having 2 issues of our 6 mos jack russel/min pin mix.  1. We are struggiling with getting her trained to use the outdoor potty.  We have tried the training pads…she just chews them up, that is the 2nd problem.  2.  She chews EVERYTHING….nothing is safe in the house.  When we switch the item she was chewing with her toy, she will find something else she shouldn’t be chewing the aforementioned was suggested by her vet.

um, how does this chat work?

I have an 8m old Shih Tzu. When she was 9w old age was confined to the back of the of house. She wouldn’t potty where she slept. After 5 m of hard work she goes on the potty pad, we priase her, when she barks to go outside, we praise higher. She knows the difference. She’ll have accidents, we don’t scolled, as its negatitve. Shih Tzu r known to rid of their own waste, as not to get yelled at. We’be been positive in Mystics training and continue to praise. She is still a puppy. <3

My fiancee and I got our Schussell from the shelter when he was 3-4 months old. Establishing a schedule and being remarkably consistent are two of the most important things during potty training. His bathroom schedule would be about every 2-3 hours starting at 7-8am, but that spread out as he got older. We recognized our pup’s tendencies when he had to go, such as the sniffing and circling around a closed area on the carpet. We would keep him confined to the living room and the family room was partitioned off with a baby gate and saw that when he had to go, he would hit tap the baby gate. We would let him outside through our front door. 

Later on, as he mastered the baby gate tapping technique, we hit the door stop every time he went out to establish that sound every time he would go out to do his business. In about 2 weeks time, he started hitting the door stop on his own and my fiancee and I eventually kept the baby gate open once we trusted him to roam between the living room and family room without watching him like a hawk.

He’s almost 1 now and is a consummate potty trained pro. Even when I take him to my parent’s house, if he has to go, he’ll look for the closest door stop and hit it. Though from time to time, he’ll try to trick my fiancee and I and hit the door stop just go to hang out on the lawn and work on his tan.

I forgot to mention one more thing. Definitely praise your pup after they potty as you please. Not necessarily with a treat, but I find a friendly face rub and exuberant ”Good Boy/Girl!” does the trick.

My 3 month old Chi will pee on her pee pad and go poo next to it. I have 2 pads set up thinking this might help, but she will normally poo next to the pad. Is there anything I can do to get her to poo where she should ? I pick it up and put it on her pad.

Where is the live chat?

when we got my miniature dachshund. she  was  8 weeks  old.  I  would  take  her  outside  and  put  her  on  some  grass  and  let  her  sniff around and  then  use  the bathroom,  the  first  week  of  using  the  bathroom  outside  every time  id  give  her  a  small treat  and praise  her,  shes  3  now  and  every couple  of  hours  i  would  ask  her  if  shed  want  to  go  outside  and shed stand up wagging her tail and going outside.

also, when  she  was  young  id  tell her in a soft tone, gooo outside, and id bring her outside and say outside  until  to the point i could  ask if she wants to go outside and shed show signs of wanting to go out

What happened to the live chat ?

My chi Terrier mix does the same thing my vet said to smear a small amount of poop on the pad it seems to be working but now she stopped peeing on the pads and i’m not sure why any ideas?

My chi/terrier mix is about 15 weeks old and was pretty much potty trained and went on her pads 95% of the time ( I am using pads until she is able to hold her bladder long enough to be taken out side since I live in an apartment complex and have to take her down stairs to go outside i felt it would be better to use the pads to train at first). Any ways she would pee on the pads but wouldn’t poop on them, my vet suggested i smear some poop on the pad which worked and she is now pooping on them but is not peeing on them any more. Any ideas on how to help my puppy poop and pee both on the pads? Also, she has a bit of a cold and has been feeling under the weather and is taking antibiotics for it could this contribute to her having accidents?

i had sex last night josh sucked my but i t felt so good i think im going to have a baby
