I found a dog and the house pads aren't working!

Do not leave her unattended, watch her all the time. Crate her if you cannot watch her, but don't leave her so long in the crate that she has accidents in there.If she does have an accident in the house, clean it right away with Nature's Miracle or another enzymatic cleaner. If you can't afford that then use white vinegar and hot water.Put her on a regular schedule - if she eats, drinks, plays, and sleeps at regular times then she will pee and poop at regular times. Take her out after she eats, drinks, sleeps or plays, and ever 30-60 minutes in between, depending on her age.When you take her out, put her on leash and go to the place you want her to potty and say "go potty" or "hurry up", or something like that. Wait for her to go, and when she does give her lots of praise and treats.Never, NEVER punish a dog for having an accident. Patience and consistent training is the key.

I encountered the same problem w/my dog and house pads did not work.. I used newspaper. Some people told me kenneling. However, that did not work for me either. When I would put him in the kennel it seems like he would make a mess and get all messy in there. (lol) at the time it was not funny he was stubborn (min pin). It seems like he preferred the newspager. I would take him out on the hour when I was home and reward him when he would go outside.

if u wantt it to go outside then don't give it pads. BecaUSE IF U DO THE NIT THINKS IT CAN GO INSIDE AND OUTSIDE.But try to watch the dog and if the dog is moving around a lot that means it has to go to the bathroom.

to house train a dog you first have to learn where and what time your dog needs to go to the bathroom.when he/she uses it be sure that they are awair that they did wrong to show that u must get the dog's attention and say no and takes its nose andshow it where it used the bathroom...if it is an inside dog show it the door and take it out side or show it its potty spot on a pileof newspapers..if it is an outside dog.you shouldnt have a problem unless it stays inside while you are gone....Good Luck!

If you let your dog poop in the house you will never get them to be house broke.You need to train the dog to go outside...go to the library and get a book or surf the web for training.
