My Dog won't go potty outside!
My boyfriend and I just got a new beagle puppy. He was in the pet store
for the first three months of his life and doesn't mind going in his crate or even laying in it. He goes whenever he feels the need we don't scold him unless we catch him in the act. When we do we stop him in mid action and take him directly outside... it doesn't matter how long we take him outside for he won't go outside. We've even tried a spray that makes him want to go outside but it doesn't help... Can someone help us get to go outside even once... we're starting to get discouraged! |

, clicked their heels and said: . Can someone help us get to go outside even once... we're starting to get discouraged! You're seeing one of the [many] downsides to purchasing from a pet store. Here's what you do. Hope to have good weather (don't know where you are, but somewhere on an air force base I presume?). Get up in the morning and take your puppy outside. Feed him outside, provide water outside, play outside, walk, etc. For as long as necessary, even if that's HOURS. YOU need to stay outside with him the entire time, so you can praise him when he finally goes. Crate training may not be possible right now, because as you've found, he learned that eliminating in his cage was his only option when at the pet store. An open x-pen or a room may be a better solution. Housebreaking comes down to a few things though: Schedule - [measured] feeding and outings Quality of food - better foods produce less stool, which also results in less pressure on a full bladder Supervision - he cannot be out of your sight Appropriate confinement - for many puppies, that's a crate, but for pet store puppies, other arrangements often need to be made - not the strongest reason why it's a bad idea to buy from a pet store, but one that new owners notice pretty quickly. -- Janet Boss www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com |

A DOG Is A Dog; As A KAT Is A KAT; As A BIRDY Is A BIRDY; As A HORSE Is A HORSE; As A CHILD IS A CHILD; As A SP-HOWES Is a SP-HOWES; As A Mass Murderer Is A Mass Murderer. Jerry Howe tries to simplify everything to a ridiculous point, like this. This is only so he can understand anything. A CHILD is a CHILD? So, all children are exactly the same? Really? A spouse is a spouse? So all spouses are the same? Really? This alone shows AssHowe's ignorance. He doesn't understand anything outside of inserting HOWE anywhere possible. Or showing his pervert/pedophile side of inserting "XXX" wherever possible. That's all he knows. |
