dog crates 101 image
mrsbroyles
don't ask how that happened, its a long story. anyway, She is three years old and very set in her ways of pottying wherever she is in the house. yuck! How would I go about potty training her? I can't really crate train her because she doesnt care, she will just potty in the crate (no matter how small) and also she will just cry and holler all day. She is just not the crate type of dog. any suggestions?
Answer
Yes! You can still housebreak her. But it's like puppy 101...meaning you have to have someone constantly with her. Take her out every hour or even more at first, and wait and wait some more til she goes 'potty'. You want to be calm and quiet until she does this, no play, no petting....just stay with her til she goes. When she does, turn on the excitement. Lots of praise, and treats or toys, whatever she likes best. Point to her 'business' and tell her 'good potty' when she looks where you're pointing, sniffs, etc.
You have to make a positive association with the new place to do her business, so that she'll have the motivation to hold out for play/praise, treats, etc.
You can also start to feed her in a crate. Many times dogs will refrain from eliminating where they eat. Do this in very short periods of time at first. Give her the meal, close the door while she eats, and open immediately when she's done. Then go outside to 'potty'. Gradually she should learn to like her crate and start going in it, in anticipation of her meal or treats. Let her wait for gradually longer periods of time, door closed, before giving food. Then mix it up and give food, but wait longer to let her out. Do this as often as possible, and until she's housebroken, *always* take her out to potty first thing out of the crate. Just make this new learning experience as fun for her a possible, and she should catch on in no time.
I suspect she was a neglect or abuse case, so kudos to you for giving her a fresh start!!
ADD: If she does have an accident, be sure to calmly and quietly take it outside and put it where she normally goes potty. Show it to her and praise her calmly when she shows interest in it, being sure to repeat the command 'potty' or whatever you choose to use as her cue to eliminate outside.

Our pets need quality pet food. Read the ingredients list and learn what the stuff on there is and what it does (or does not do) to/for our pets. A quick pet food 101. If the pet food contains corn/corn products or by products it is a poor quality food. Corn is a filler that can trigger skin problems. (allergies, skin problems, itching and excessive shedding) By products is anything from an animal not fit for human consumption, including cancerous tissue. Do not pay attention to advertising, they all say there food is great. "Vet approved" means they have a vet on staff to approve their product. In other words, someone paid to approve it. Same with foods most vets recommend. Salesmen "gift" vets then the vet recommends the food. Most vets are not nutritionists! Quality foods have meat as the first ingredient. California Natural, Solid Gold, Innova and Merrick are a few of the best brands available.

the first thing to remember about housetraining a puppy is there ability to hold themselves is limited. a rule of thumb is they can hold "it" usually 1 hour for each month of age. 2 months old = 2 hours, 3 months old = 3 hours, etc. when your puppy wakes up (marning, nap, whatever) the pup has to go, right then! take the pup out. when the pup eats or drinks, it has to go, take the pup out. after exercise (play), take the pup out. when the pup does it's thing outside praise it. a lot. tell the pup how good, how smart it is. you have to pay attention to the pups "looking for it's spot" behavior. when you see that behavior indoors, whisk the pup out. if you catch the pup in the act, simply tell it "NO!" and whisk it outside. if you find a puddle or pile after the fact, clean it up with an enzyme cleaner (pet food store) get a newspaper and hit.... yourself in the head and say "i should have been paying more attention" daytime training they get pretty fast. night time training is easier if you crate train the pup. also remember the one hour/one month rule. you will have to get up through the night to take the pup out. good luck
