Panna 68 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) Pups mostly pee and poo 1-5 minutes right after sleeping, eating and playing. If you take care that in those times you take the pup out and say "good girl" when peeing outside - it will soon understand what the point is. Never blame them for urinating inside the flat by pushing their nose into it! They just don't get what the point is! And never punish them minutes after the thing is done - they can connect the act and the corollyary (here: punishment) only for about half a minute! Edited to say: yes, you expect too much, at this age they can not keep it for the whole night. ATB, Anna Edited October 24, 2009 by Panna Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,174 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Small cage at night: most dogs won't mess in their own bed. And if it does then at least there's no mess around the house! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe consider change of diet to raw and only feeding after she has exercise/had an empty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
