My ex brought our daughter a Shi-zhu for Christmas. Cute little thing, but I'm gonna break her cute little face if she doesn't stop pissing in my house! :angry:

No matter how many times a day we walk her, I'm always catching her trying to squat in the house. I need some tips on how to get her to understand outside only! Any advice?

Thanks

you need to crate train her. go get a crate that she can grow into that has a divider. any time she is not supervised she is in there. when she comes out she goes straight to the wee wee pads or newspaper. this is stage one. now when you see she knows to go there you start taking a dirty one outside and put it down so she sees to go outside. oh yeah in the house anytime you catch her messing up you pick her up one time say NO and carry her right to the pad/paper. it only took my girl 2 days to know to go to the paper. then you have to let them get used to that for a few weeks before you try to start bringing it outside or else its too confusing for them. then it will still take a while for them to know to only go outside. good news is my girl had pups and i didnt have to train her daughter at all. she did it all :dance:

I've trained plenty of dogs and this may seem harsh, but...

Let her pee in the house. You have to catch her in the act. Then catch her and bring her back to the spot where she pee'd at. Tell her Bad Puppy or whatever and STICK HER NOSE IN THE PEE SPOT. Rub it around real good and then immediately take her to the door you would prefer her to go out of to pee and toss her (gently of course) outside. Leave her outside for about 30 minutes (or until she stops whining and starts liking it out there) and bring her back. It shouldn't take more than about 3 or maybe 4 times if she is hard headed, but this is the best way.

You may want to throw in a swift spank on the behind after the second time if she isn't getting the hint. :yes:

Yes this is good. I was speaking from a NYC apartment dwellers perspective where there is no door to let them out. You know?
 
I don't know why people buy people those little shits of dogs.

Your mentality is all fucked up with Toy dogs, because you think it's cute and not dealing with being a strong pack leader to install security for your dog.

Is this an actual, " Puppy ", or is it an older dog?

Crating might work, I don't like it, but with bullshit stubborn Toy dogs . . . so be it. You'll be doing it for months. Not because the dog is stupid, it just doesn't want to listen to you, and may be reacting to you, and defecating on purpose to annoy you.

I say, catch her in the act, smash her face in it, and toss her to the outside with a strong angry growl.

:hmm:

I truly feel sorry, and don't like dogs like the . . . Shih Tzu.

Because people have breed an animal completely incapable of survival beyond human dependence for own vanity. Look at it's face, the damned thing can drown having a drink.

:angry:

:(

Tell them why you mad son! :lol:

You are right about that vanity thing though! :yes:

BTW all dogs can be spiteful at times. My pit and her half golden retriever daughter occasionaly fuck me up too. Only when I been gone way too long tho.
 
along with the other suggestions, when she wakes up from sleeping, take her out immediately

Yeah that's how I generally do it.
 
I have a yorkie (not for vanity, but because I just didn't want a big dog and I got a hookup from a friend) and I got him when he was 9 mos old. The previous owner kept him in the house all the time in a secluded area so he was never really housebroken. It took a few months, but we did the crate thing and it worked for him. When we're gone for long periods of time, we leave him in one room with a gate and pee pee pads. If we're off schedule, he'll go on the pads even when we're in the house. Early on, if we didn't walk him on schedule he'd just go in the house, now when he has to go, he'll get our attention.

He's smart too...twice when I was taking too long to take him out, he's gone into the bathroom and picked up a roll of toilet paper and brought it out to the living room, dropped it on the floor by the front door and looked at me like "can we go now"??? :lol:

He couldn't do much in terms of actually defending us/the house, but he barks like hell whenever someone gets close to the house so he's like an intruder alert. I know when someone's here before they even get to the door. Most people laugh when they see him cuz they thought they heard a bigger dog :)

:roflmao: Would you please post a pic of this dog? The combo boggles my mind. :roflmao:
 
Thanks for all the advice! Yes, she's a puppy, 3 months. I did buy a crate but not a wee pad because I have a 14 month old son. I am putting her little nose in the pee when I see her do it, then taking her straight to the back yard and I crate her when I am not home or at night. I think it's working. She's only been here since Christmas Eve, I'll give her a couple more weeks to get it right.

Thanks again.

Yes, I've been doing that and I've noticed she won't go in her crate at night. She waits for me to walk her in the morning.
Thanks
 
I have a 2year old greman shepard..it took her 8 months to get the message..:smh:
Crate training iz the best...also it limits there mess to one part of the house..Always give a treat or praise when she goes potty outside. Spankin and rubbin the nose in there mess helps too...
time to let her out now....:D

I've trained a lot of dogs and used to work for a vet so he taught me a lot about dog behavior. Most of the advice on here was very good but I just want to point it YOU HAVE TO CATCH THE DOG IN THE ACT.

Used to see it all the time. People would discipline their dogs and can't figure out why it wasn't working. thats causes they were mad at something to dog did an hour ago. the dog has no clue what you're upset about. If you catch the dog in the act and show your disappointment right then and there the dog will connect peeing in the house with fucking up. thats what you want.

the other thing to take into account is that as the dog matures he/she will test you. Don't get fooled because its a small dog...its still a dog and it needs to know where it is in the pecking order of the household. The dog will try to show dominance over you at some point, you HAVE to recognize that and make sure the dog knows that YOU ARE THE BOSS. Simple things can show that. Little things like you eat first and then you feed the dog. Pack leaders ALWAYS eat first. Once a dog knows its place in the pack (your family) it gets amazingly well adjusted. Lack of confusion makes for a happy dog.

Its funny got a family friend who is a vet. He goes nuts everything they mention that show to him. For vets and trainers Dog Whisperer is a guy telling common sense to people. To be truthful its just hate that they didn't think of it first. Still for basic dog behavior he's good at getting his point across. :yes:

I'm sorry I don't have a picture and I don't have a camera. Its very strange cause her mother is a brindle pit with alot of gold color and the father was a very yellow golden retriever. There were 12 puppies and they all came out black. Some of them had a little golden sheen on top. They all got some part of the mothers white markings. Half had the pitbull ears, half had the golden ears. Half had pitbull heads half had golden heads. My girl has a pitbull body and a golden head and ears. The hair is short just not quite as short as pit hair. She looks like a black lab with white on her chest and on 2 feet. I was terrified of what the puppies would look like but they came out really cute.
 
My apologies sexylegz33 I got off track.

My advice would be keep with the same program your on just tweak it a little, namely by continuing to assert that you're the leader. That you have expectations or there will be consequences such as extended time in the cage or whatever you decide. I would council against hitting your dog. My experience is that makes them afraid of you instead of respect you as the leader. Also refrain from giving them treats just because they did something good, remember it's expected of them to do things your way. If you continually give them treats they will expect you to give them every time they do something good.

i think the type of dog you have is a high energy breed and will need a lot of exercise to burn off that energy. If you don't exercise him/her regularly and I mean until they are tired you may be asking for trouble down the road.

Good Luck,
Wish you well
 
what the fuck kinda punk ass dog is that, that brings back a memory though cuz i thought about murking my ex's dog .

She's the perfect type of dog for a little girl. I said, my ex brought her for our daughter! Just admit it, she's cute! :yes:
 
55 lbs of sweetness. :hmm:
you a mutt too shane so wtf you sayin?

Yeah right, your impoverished low sodium glorified rat ain't shit but 40lbs if that with a limp.

Fuck your APBR reject, it's a walking genetic contradiction, and it's those crazy headed dogs that bite and kill people and give pit bulls and pit bull owners a bad name. :angry:

An I ain't no mutt!

I carry 40 metric units of pure breed pyramid of Giza in my pants. I'm a lean clean mean fuck your mother machine.
 
i was able to housetrain my dog in a few weeks, you gotta be able to bring em out every 30 minutes to an hour as a puppy to develop the thought that they have to go outside to use the bathroom, i don't suggest any pads or newspaper training if possible

i just fussed at my dog whenever he pissed in the house and immediately took him outside

he would get so sad that i was mad at him he eventually started walking to the door when he wanted to get out to go pee

btw good luck on raising a pure breed puppy--they will hit ur pockets hard
