Tips/references for dog training?

Stick her nose it it swat and say no. Take em outside.
You really gotta praise em and give em a goodie exactly when they are done shitting outside. Get on it fast or you will resnt the pooch
 
I already love this dog to death and feel like I make progress with her, but when I’m not home she reverts back…
Yeah ya still gotta do it. I'm not saying beat her w a club. Just show disapproval and make it undeniable that it is the shitting in the house.
Took me almost a yr to train my old dog in my avatar. But she was ferrel when I got her
 
Crate training is where it is at, need to make sure the crate is small enough it won't just shit in the corner. Take it outside all the time for bathroom especially right before you go to bed put dog in crate then take it out immediately after letting it out to show him to use the bathroom outside.

Took about two weeks to house train my current dog, now I do not lock her in it during the day but she will hold it from 7am to 12am if I have to work late. Now she has a dog door so she doesn't have to wait till I get home anymore.

Dogs are Den based animals so a Crate is in their nature they just need to get used to it.

Thanks guys
 
Telling ya I will never not crate train another dog, easiest process I've ever done.... Plus my dog is a good dog
My dog is good too. I never had to swat him. My dog that died in a house fire was completely wild. That bitch took work. She destroyed 4 couches and tvs. I cannot even list all the shit. I've never been a fan of crating my animals. I know it works just not my style I suppose

Yeah people think of it like a human being caged or in jail but with Dogs they are Den based animals and basically like their house. It's about security and smells. That's their place but you need to make sure to feed them in the crate.

I haven't actually shut the cage door in 10 years but she still sits in there cause that's her crib

Same for my bed for my dog. Been that way my entire life.
 
Hang a bell on the door and train her to knock it when she has to go to the bathroom. Every time you take her out, make sure she hits the bell with her nose.
We use the bell in our house.

Dogs shit where they feel safe. One of mine still shits with his face as close to the fence as he can get it because he feels like he isn’t getting snuck up on.

@Croot_Overlord the next time she goes to squat make a super abrasive sound, like an air horn app from your phone or something awful, and should break her from wanting to shit there after a couple times of doing it.

It should also distract her enough that you can go grab her and take her out.

If you can’t catch her in the act then gate it off for a couple days with whatever you got and see how her habits change and where she goes instead.

Crate training is key

We are crate training but the damn thing keeps getting diahrea and shitting the crate at night. Hard to get mad at it for that. The first time i think the dog ate some goose shit or something, not sure what she got in to this time.

Crate training helps, but we have a long way to go.

You might want to look into trying a different dog food. I'd check with the vet/pet store to see what other types they recommend. I went thru this a lot with my dog. Sometimes a particular brand/flavor of food doesn't sit well with their stomach. Keep looking if that's the case.

Yeah, she is just a puppy so has only been on one or two foods so far. I don't think that is the problem, but you never know. She as fine for a couple weeks, taking normal dumps and we were making good progress on using the bathroom outside. But then past two nights she has shit in the crate. Going to try and get her stopped up with some pumpkin and rice which worked last time.
 
I feel so lucky reading this thread. Girlfriend got a goldendoodle last winter. Peed in the house one time, we caught him doing it & yelled no, popped his butt...he only ever peed inside one other time after that, and never has shit in the house.

I hate you. j/k

Our puppy has used the house as its personal toilet since we have gotten it. WE have actually made some progress with crate training the past couple weeks, but damn if it isn't a slow process.

It doesn't help when the 4 kids are all fighting to "take care of it" and give it attention. The thing is probably overwhelmed. Trying to give it some leeway even though it pisses me off.

The thing that kills me the most is that I didn't want a damn dog. The wife insisted on it ... and now she is like "this is too much." ......

Had to go to Hill’s Science Diet sensitive skin because the puppy was having problems with dry skin and scratching.

You get what you pay for in regards to in -> out.

Our other dog never messes up on purpose, but the stupid vet screwed something up when she was fixed, so she has some incontinence issues.☹ She is usually fine, just have to take her out a little bit after she drinks water. Otherwise if she goes to sleep, she will likely pee.

Because we want to make sure she pees when she goes out, & doesn't just sniff around, we always go out with her. She even pees on command, just tell her let's go potty, & she will go...but she is so used to this, like Red from Shawshank Redemption, she won't even go out, much less pee without you going with her. That shit gets old.
 
Put in a dog door last year and it is life changing, no more standing outside in the cold or heat waiting for her to do her business and she gets more exercise cause she can go bark at the neighbors dog. Definitely recommend them and your dog will appreciate it.

Good for home defense too.

Give it back to whoever you got it from. I only say that as a dude who is days/weeks from putting his 17 year old best friend down. Just saving you the heartache now.
Prays brother, I’ve lost one of the best dogs ever already so I know where your at.
 
I need some help house training this three month old maniac dog. She’s so sweet and loving but damn she will not stop shitting in the hall
