Help!! my 6 month old puppy is still going to the toilet at night and having some accidents in the day. i have not crate trained her and dont really want to has anybody got any tips. she was spayed about a month ago and i think this may have set her back as she was nearly clean before she had this done!!!

try using one of those puppy toilet training sprays that you spray on paper and gradually move it nearer the door. she will soon remember. when she does go out side make a big fuss of her and give a her a treat.

Crate train her. Why not, as it works? Or give her a kennel outside, then there are no problems at night. Spaying shouldn't make any difference to housetraining. During the day, don't punish her when she wees/poos inside because it's not her fault. Praise and give treats when she does it in the right place. Persist!And tell her to flush the toilet when she's finished and wash her paws ;-)

A lot of times when dogs are not crate trained and are given too much freedom, they will urinate everywhere they can.You will want to confine your puppy to a small space (like the kitchen or bathroom) when you are not home or are sleeping (She will stop whinning in 2-3 days). Dogs will not urinate or deficate where they have to be (They dont like stepping or laying in it), so if you put down a wee-wee pad at the opposite end of the room -- she will pee on it. (Use the urine sprays too)At 6 months old, you should be letting your puppy out every 2-3 hours to do business outside and giving lots of praise. When she does business inside, if you catch her in the act, tell her "No", stop her, and take her outside to finish her business and be sure to really praise her with a high voice "Good girl!!!"

You could try the puppy pads! They worked wonders for my retriver. He also was fixed and this set him back about 2 months. As someone else stated, you move the pad closer and closer to the door. When they do go out side, make them feel like they just won the dog show challange. They love that. This really works at night and first thing in the morning. It gives them a sence of making you VERY happy. Hope this helps.

i don't reccomend this. your hindquarters could catch germs very easy. if you don't have a fenced back yard so the puppy can learn to whimper if it needs out then you should turn to the dog in to animal authorities.
