potty in her kennel at night? I can take her out every hour and she goes outside, but she still goes in the house she is 9 months old. She also goes in her kennel at night, which dogs aren't supposed to go potty where they sleep at. She doesn't tell me when she has to go either, how do I get her to do this? I need help any advice would help.

Feed her or give her a treat after she potties outside. Scold her if she potties in her kennel. How long do you leave her in her kennell at night? It may be too long for her.

Is the kennel only big enough for her to turn around and lie down? The one she uses to sleep in at night should only be that big. If a dog is able to reserve a corner of a kennel to use the bathroom during potty training then they will do just that. If that is not the issue then you might have to resort to getting up in the middle of night to let her out and extending the night time visits about 30 minutes once a week (or less often if needed) until she doesnt have to go at night.

Ok this should be an easy fix. Go to the store and buy some puppy biscuits. Every time you take the pup outside and it uses the tree or whatever, give the pup a biscuit. If it does not do what it needs too, then no biscuit. I trained a puppy in three days using this method. This should work, depending on how stobborned the pup is. as for the kennel soiling, not sure how to fix this, you are right a dog won't sh** where they eat or sleep. Try this for a week and see how it works for you. You must be consistant with this. Reward the good behavior Bad Dog the bad behavior. Good luck with this

try not to feed or give him anything to drink at least half an hour before he goes to sleep. Take him out as soon as you wake up. I have a pom mix and it was the only way i could get him to stop.

If she is peeing in her crate -- you can restrict her access to water after 8:00 PM -- take her out before you go to bed, and make sure she goes!! Stay with her and watch, many pups go out then get to sniffing or messing around and forget what they are out there for! And, unless you are positive she has gone, don't bring her in. When you are sure she has gone, bring her in and tell her -- time for bed or something and put her in her crate.I don't put blankets or towels in the crates until the pups are keeping them clean all the time -- that way they can't potty and then scrunch up the blanket and get out of the mess!As far as telling you -- mine have various methods --one just sits and looks at me, one starts pacing from me to the door, one goes and stands in the doorway, the last just goes out when the others do. Some people teach their pups to ring a small bell hung by the door -- hang it low enough so your pup can reach it. Everytime you take them out -- ring the bell and say --wanna go out? and ring it again. If they sniff or touch the bell give them a treat and praise them. Doesn't usually take long to train them.Good luck!!

The first thing to do would be to take her to her vet to make sure that she doesn't have a bladder infection or other underlying health problem. If that isn't the case, realize she is only a puppy and should only be made to wait at tops 5 hours, anything beyond that can lead to an accident or a bladder infection. Next make sure her feedings are regular and limit her water at night. During housebreaking you should be taking your dog out hourly, to the same spot each time. Don't just open the door and let her out or take her for a walk, Take her where you want her to go and offer plenty of praise for going outside. Also make sure that she feels safe in her kennel. A dog will go in their. kennel if they don't view it as being theirs, make sure when you put her in her kennel that she is going willingly and you aren't forcing her or using it as a punishment.

There are a few things you can do. There is the old school line the cage with paper and take one piece away per day or week. (they are only allowed to mess on the paper) if they miss the paper you have to dicipline them (scold them as you do make them smell their mess) dogs are as sensitive as people they HATE being scolded. by the same token when they go outside you have to reward with a parade almost. have a little training snack and as soon as they go say "Yay, good dog" give it the snack pet them etc. really go crazy over their accomplishment. (make sure you use a higher voice for this they are more sensitive to tones than you and I are. they don't really know what we are saying, so we could be saying 'bad dog' in a higher excited voice and they think they did something right) There is a spray that you can get I know there are a few one is called "no, no" or something to that affect and it is actually a deterent for them to go. you could find it in a larger pet store like petco, you could spray their kennel. The one thing i would advise against is sending it to a trainer. You really don't know HOW they are training your dog and you want to make sure it is humane. Good luck!

try getting up in the night to take her out that is what i did with my puppy and it worked

House breaking a pup is one of the hardest, or time consuming thing I can think of. I raised and house broke a 2 puppies over the last year and 1/2 . 1st you have to be sure that she doesn't have a bladder infection, which will cause her to go often. Also, if the bladder infection goes undetected, it can result in a whole hosts of problems. Usually, if the infection is bad enough, you will notice a pink or bloody tinge to the urine.2nd, make sure her crate isn't TOO big for her. She needs just enough space to stand and turn around, and lay down.3rd, you MUST catch her in the act, snatch her up with a loud NO, and take her out immediately. Once she finishes, you must praise her and make a big fuss over what a good girl she is, - even keep a treat or two in your pocket to give her just after she does her business- then take her in the house as soon as she is done. (this takes a lot of time - to catch her in the act. So baby gate off an area so you can continually watch her until she starts to become trained.4th, Don't lose your patients - be firm, but always praise when she does good.5th, if she soils her crate, you MUST clean the crate so no odor remains. (I use 1/8th cup of bleach to 1 cup of water, and wipe down the inside of the crate. Put a clean towel or what ever you use for her to lay on. You have to take the odor away - even if you can't smell it, she can - and bleach water will kill the odor.6th, and this may still work for you even at her age. I hung a small goat bell on a piece of ribbon on the door knob of the door we use to let the dogs out. I would ring the bell, showing the pups when i did, and tell them go out and potty. After a couple of weeks of that, they would ring the bell when they wanted to go out. Then you can take the bell with you when you take the dog on a trip or to other peoples houses, and hang the bell on a door know, show your dog where it is, and they will ring the bell when they want to go out. IT workes for me.Last but not least - PRAY!Good Luck to you.

My toy poodle peed/pooped in his small cat crate when he was a puppy. I duct taped a box to the back half so he had just enough room to turn around in---- and he had no more accidents - he was a small puppy...

Instead of taking your dog out every hour, start on a schedule of every two and a half hours. When she's mature, she can wait longer. Make the training an event! She will understand that you're HAPPY when she goes outside, and her bladder should soon get on the two and half hour trip outside. I take my almost year old out every 3 hours- never an accident inside.

All advice says don't scold for accidents inside because all a puppy knows is that they need to go, and so they do. However, if she does go inside, quickly take her outside (to the same spot EVERY time) and use a phrase: "hurry up" or "go outside" whatever you use, use it each time. Obviously, if she just went she won't need to go again, but she will get what you're telling her. When she does go PRAISE her!! Dogs are very smart and love to see us thrilled with their behavior. It's time consuming, but it works, and once you establish going outside with your dog, she 'll likely never go inside again. It's so worth the effort. Also, make sure the frequent going isn't nervousness or an attempt for attention: Is she getting plenty of time with you?
Good luck
