How To Quickly Housetraining A Dog?
MY sister is dealing with this with her flat coat retriever. It is a problem.
1. Limit water, but don’t dehydrate her. If you can pinch the skin on her back and it does not spring back immediately, you are limiting her too much. What goes in on a schedule comes out on a schedule. She needs to go within 20 minutes after drinking.
2. Tie her to your belt loop by her leash. When she starts to look for a place to go you’ll see the signals and have a ready handle to get her outside.
3. With puppies, when they get excited and the excitement stops, they will pee. Could this be the case with you Golden? In this case, you may need to do the exciting playing outside.
4. Putting the dog in the crate after does nothing to teach her anything. Get her outside immediately and don’t punish. Then ignore the behavior except to be alert to prevent it next time.
5. The smell in the carpet may be drawing her back. Once you “allow” her to use the rug she will remark it over and over. Get the carpets professionally cleaned with pet odor removal products, then afterward clean up each “on purpose” (rather than an accident) with enzyme treament. It will kill the odor that YOU can’t smell but the dog can.
6. Treats: are you using “dog treats” or the good stuff? If she doesn’t get excited about cheese or hot dogs she ain’t really a dog. You don’t need big pieces, but tiny pieces of people food are very powerful rewards. You only need about the size of a pea. Who ever said don’t feed them people food did not mean to include training rewards!
7. When you go outside put her on a leash and stand like a tree in the potty spot until she does what she needs to, then go off leash and have fun, get the reward etc. Always have fun after success. If you go out and she SHOULD pee and does not, she doesn’t get to play. Bring her back in, put her directly in her crate. Wait fifteen minutes and try again until you get the response you need.
