We have been forever trying to house train the little sh*t but he's just too retarded to kop on!
Hate to brake it to you, but unless there is a medical reason why the little dog can't hold its water, then it's you who's too retarded to do the training properly.
Do a search on the forum, correct toilet training has been the subject of many a threadyou'll prob get replies like leave him out more etc............ :rolleyes:
yepp, indeed ...leave them out more, leave them out when they need to go (learn to read the signs), watch them while they're out, praise when they're doing what they are supposed to and don't leave them in again until they're all empty

Lol... I had said dog was trained before he was put in with 3 others and i think lorebringer hit the nail on the head with his post. The two boys have to be marking spots cause its literally only dribbles not proper pee. Can't answer for OP but i think his situation is different to mine! Thanks though :PThe OP.
For your situation, I assume you also lay paper out? And send the dogs to bed when they pee in the wrong place? When you train them as puppies, they don't forget the paper is a toilet.
Yep paper is there for when we aren't around for 2-3hours to leave them out and they'll use it AND dribble pee on furniture to mark it :rolleyes: Moving out again so hopefully no competition and one on one 'house training' will correct my problem again.lorebringer wrote: »Is your dog neutered? And are the pees full on puddles or dribbles? If this is the case, he could be marking (which can be a nightmare!) and this can be very difficult to stop once they get into the habit
Most large pet stores sell an enzyme cleaner specifically designed to get rid of all traced of urine in the carpet etc.
Thanks for your post. My fella isn't neutered anyways might look into getting it done cause no need for him to have them LOL not gonna breed from him! Its clearing marking if its only dribbles.
Whats that stuff called from the pet shops?! I think using floor cleaner etc is obv not cutting it anymore...0 -

One thing you need to understand about Dog psychology is that they won't piss where they sleep. Not unless they absolutely have no other choice. They are taught from a young age by the mother that they do not go to the toilet inside the "den".
So you need to define what the "den" is for your dog.
We initially had trouble with our dog in this regard for a couple of reasons:
1. She had to be confined to the kitchen because she had a series of operations and oozing "things" when we first got her
2. We have no garden, so to take a pee, we have to take her outside.
So she never peed in the kitchen, but when we started letting her out of the kitchen, she was peeing on the carpet. This is because the new areas weren't her "den", the kitchen was. So as a result, she gets taken out every 2 - 3 hours (we know from experience that this is roughly her "incubation" time) and we have slowly given her access to all parts of the house, so she doesn't pee on the carpet anymore. However, if we've forgotten to take her out and there's something unfamiliar on the floor, she may pee on that because it's not part of her "den".
So if you keep your dog confined to a certain part of the house and you let them into unfamiliar parts of the house, don't be surprised if they piss on the carpet. The dog doesn't understand the concept of "don't pee in the house", he/she only understands, "don't pee in your den". If you want to start introducing your dog to other parts of the house, then you take them out to the toilet first, let them into the "new" room, ideally let them get comfortable in it (with you!) for an hour or so, then take them out again. Then the next day do the same thing, but leave the door open so the dog can roam in and out and starts to understand that this is an extension of their den. Very quickly they'll get the message and they won't pee in that room.
If there are parts of the house that you absolutely don't want your dog to have access to, then you need to be consistent and not give them access, and don't be surprised if they pee in there when you let them in.0 -

This has confirmed that my young Daisy doesn't possess a brain cell. The only place she would pee and poo was in the room where she slept. Eventually had to close off the room to her. She seems to have got better since she turned 3 (only took 2 years) and is now allowed back into the bedroom but there are set times when she's sent out to the garden to toilet every day and she's finally getting better at asking to go at times which is great.
What seemed to make the breakthrough is that I stopped shouting at her when I found evidence of misdeeds (I felt like a broken woman at that stage and couldn't raise the energy to shout) and just told her in a calm voice that she was a bold girl as I cleaned and mopped the messes up. I think she just got scared when I shouted but actually listened when I was calm about her choice of toilet0
) but most pet stores will stock something similar.
