I have a 5 month old siberian husky..She did good potty training the first 3 days and is just not doin good anymore. we have had her for about 3 months and she still poops and pees in the house and her crate when we are gone. When she does go in the house and i catch her she knows she is in trouble so she runs to the door knowing to go out i still put her noes in it and take her out right after wards. But then sometimes she will let me know she needs out! She poops and pees in her crate and lays in it. I just dont know what to do we have tryed everything please help.
-Thanks

NEVER EVER rub her nose in it. If you catch her doing it, pick her up tell her no and take her out side to show her where to go. Dont dwell on the neg always reinforce the positive with treats and praise. Make sure her feeding time is close to the same time every day. make sure she gets walks. Take her outside when she first wakes up when she eats and before she goes in kennel and at bedtime.
How often do you let her out? My year old still goes out every twenty minutes to a half hour.
Do you watch to make sure she is going both pee and poop when you take her out?I spend at least 15 minutes watching mine each until they do both duties.Not so much my older one now but the year old i do.
How big is the crate? if its bigger than she is than that gives her room to do her duty in it, Mia my year old did the same thing as she was in a big cage, i hated coming home and having to drag kennel to bathroom and lift her out and put her in tub clean her up and then the crate. every day ritual for about 2 months.
How long is she in the crate? Being young they dont handle being crated very long before they have to go.
Are you taking her out for a nice walk before you put her in the crate? This helps in two ways: 1 they have time to do both duties and 2.it makes them tire so that they spend most of their time sleeping in crate.
Do you put a blanket over the cage?
this is more for security, dogs will pee and poop when they feel unsecure.
Does she have a blanket in her kennel wow i went through alot of blankets in my time with mia. she is a year old now and has finally made it for 8 hours in the crate. but still out of crate needs to go outside every hour.
Also leave a radio or tv playing to block out outside noises this will also keep her from barking while gone.
Make sure you leave her with several bones to chew on.
Well i hope this helps you

Well thank you...She is usually never in her kenel unless we are gone... and we feed at the same time everday and night...and we do take her out when she wakes up in the morning and before we go to bed and alot during the day but she still seems to keep doing it...Why does she do it and when we catch her in the act she know she is in trouble run to the door to go outside when she knows what to do she just does not do it..it is very frustating...But thank you and i will try it.

she does not know that she has to go outside otherwise she would show you when she has to do her business. She does not pee and poop inside to make you angry.

Don't ask yourself: what can I do against the behaviour from my dog
more important is: how can I help her to understand what I want from her

Does she do her business outside? how do you react? You said she was trained 3 days long and then started to "contaminate".
What happened? There must be a cause. Were she on or of the leash? Did it start in the night or on the day. Is she alone during the day..has it maybe something to do with that? Or were you in a play group?
Come on think what went wrong and then you can find out how to help her.

If you punish her she will start to fear when you near and does it when you are not in the room. But then you have a problem, because you have no control of the situation anymore.

Tell me more!

are you taking her out after both feedings? remember she is a pup so every time she even feels her bladder getting a little full she is going to want to go. Are you saying potty or pee or some other command everytime you take her out? does she come up and start licking your hands and or arms trying to get your attention?

idk what went wrong..We are home with her everyday and we take her out after every feeding.. she sometimes comes up to me and barks and runs to the door. other times she just goes in the house. Idk what we are goin to do while all of us are in schooll. we will just have to see what happens thank u

[german sheep]

when you are out you can do nothing. You have no controll over the situation when you are away, so you pup has no other choice then to do its business inside.

Then it sounds like a loss of controll and peeing is the symptom of it.
How was it, or how is it during the holidays? Do you have holidays soon?
Tell us how your dog will change his behaviour when you are at home the whole day long.

And go to the vet. to ask if she is ok and her behaviour has no organic reason.
