neilsherlock 226 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Any tips for breaking this habit please as an x racer has been rehomed by my mate and is driving him up the wall. He's done the obvious smacked arse, and doesnt really want to kennel her. Cheers people Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stewie 3,387 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Kennel her mate she will be so used to that life it's probably worse on her to have her in the house.....smacking a dog that has had no discipline all its life is pointless imo and won't solve anything......

pinguu 169 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 i had that with the collie whippet i got, letting out regular and praising her toilet outside ignoring inside seemed to work but it took a long time. there are sprays you can get but dunno if they work.

littlefish 598 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Toilet train it like a pup until it adjusts to life indoors. Take it out often and watch for signs that it needs to go out - sniffing, pacing, circling etc. Smacking the arse off it...........what's that supposed to achieve? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

northern lad 2,292 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Take the dog outside every time it wakes up,eats,sniffs or paces round ,and stay with it,until it goes dont go back in the house.Lots of fuss praise when she goes ,and back into the house.She will soon suss it out,shutting the dog outside for ten mins on its own or clouting it wont acheive anything IMO.Standing out in the rain day and night with it for a few weeks whilst training it is a small price to pay 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I recently house trained an adult bitch that had always been kenneled (or at least had been kenneled for a good while). Initially she wouldnt think twice to just stoop and piss/shit wherever she felt like it. Kitchen, Living Room, Hallway etc. So I started taking her into the garden constantly, probably every hour (had a Friday and Monday off work, so had 4 days to do it). I would take her outside first thing after waking, after a meal, after a drink, etc. Eventually she just stopped pissing inside altogether, cant remember the last time she did it now. She gets kenneled in the day when i go to work now and is in the rest of the time. All the best Gaz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taz-n-Lily 62 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 My staffie X was not house-trained when I got her at one year old. I followed the same advice given here - take the dog outside and stay with her until she does something, then loads of praise. It only took a week for her to realise that it's better to use outside as a toilet. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pernod 466 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Easiest way is to cage it when in the house, let it out periodically to empty itself, walk etc then back in the cage. even a stupid dog will learn in a matter of days where it has to empty itself.
