What is the best way to discourage our dogs from going to the bathroom in the house repeatedly2007-11-25 2:52:01Answers:

Firstly, are you consistent in your habits?

Start crate training now. If you have not already.

Dogs need to be on leash at all times in home until trained. Attached to stationary object or dumbbell. 3 feet on leash or less with a blanket or towel.

Do you free feed and water them? If so stop now.

Give food and water then take outside. If the dogs do not relieve themselves place inside crate. Repeat every 15 minutes until dog has gone potty .

When the dogs relieve themselves, give them 5-10 minutes of free play time and lots of praise. Repeat until trained.

Warning, do not give the dogs too much freedom, it has already gotten you into trouble. Dogs like rules and boundaries. They need a fair and firm boss to work for.

If you want to fix this problem you must change your methods. You need to keep an eye on them at all times.

That means no freedom in house.

Belly bands in addition if they are boys and they are lifting their legs in your house.

spray them with water everytime you see them about to do it then put them outside. I know ppl that only works for cats but it works for dogs too.

OR YELL in a very stern voice NO NO and put them out side

then when you see them going pee or whatever out side go and say in a very nice voice GOOD BOY and pet them.

Keep them outdoors for a few days, until they get the pattern of outdoors is the toilet, not indoors.

easy - beat them.

well dogs are scared of water and fire,so how about keeping the area wet

---

take them out frequently and reward them for going potty outside.

Move to a different house and don't take them along!

treat them when they engage in behavior that is correct. Everytime you catch them going in the house immediately take them outside and put them in the grass.
