What is the best way to get a puppy from using the bathroom in the house?
I have a crate that I put him in when I'm gone but, when I'm here I let him roam free and take him out a lot. He uses the bathroom outside and I treat him but then he'll use it whenever he pleases inside. I tried the whole rubbing the nose in it and put him outside afterwards but he doesn't get it. I'm tired of cleaning up his messes and carpet sucks for that. He's really young so I guess I'll just have to be patient. I read other responses to the same question I'm asking and they said just to use a crate. My puppy is a whiner and there is no way I'm just going to leave him in the crate 24/7. He sleeps with me and anytime away from me he whines. I can't even take a shower without him having to be there in the room. Also, he bites alot. He has chew toys but won't stop nibbling on u when u try to pet him and he's been snapping in my face lately. What do I do? I go a little terriorizer with an overactive bladder on my hands. HELP!
Please don't rub his nose in it. It does not help matters. Take a paper towel or toilet paper to the mess with your puppy under your other arm let him/her see you remove the poop with the paper. Proceed outside with poop and pup. Put poop on the grass and pup on the grass. Repeat at least 4 times. Pup should begin to ask to be let outside to poop. You did not say what breed your pup is. Biting can be discouraged too. Place you hand gently around his snout when he bites say 'no' firmly. Wether he is biting out of aggression or excitation you also failed to mention. Either way, being constant with your pup will win the day for you and your friend.
Use of the crate:- you should only use it when you have to ie while your out. Playtoys should be given to the dog. You should not use the crate as a punishment zone as the pup will not want to be put there when you go out and will not see it as his bed. Once you have established better pooping behaviour crating should become unnecessary. He is probably crying when you go because they get abandonment issues. Leave a TV going for company. A loud ticking clock also gives comfort. But toys often helps this problem as well. This problem should disappear also as he gets older and used to household occurances. Dogs work best when they know whats going on and what time it will happen each day. As for him being in the room when your are showering really just what do you want from your friend he doesnt care wether you are clothed or not and is only trying to establish the routine of his new home. Love him and the puppy time will be over before you know it and you will wonder what to do with this now lathargic dog that just lolls around doing stuff all.
