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

Again when you walk or they are outside treat them when they use the bathroom correctly. Works like a charm.

if they go in the house---immediately scold and take outside

or try spraying water from a spray bottle when they do such

WOW. I just had this problem. First of all, as soon as you see the mess rub their nose in it. Then say NO very firmly and smack their nose lightly. Then take them where they are supposed to go. Keep saying, "this is where you go potty!!" Then crate them for about 10 minutes. This really worked with my dog and now he knows where to go. You can also give them a treat when they go where they should. Good luck.

build them a separate house with its own dog bathroom. Maybe call it a "dog house" . It will, of course, not have all of the amenities that a normal "human" house will.

---

Put them outside in a kennel or cage them when you gone.

Make sure you get up all the smell from your floor. If they can spell it they might get confused about where they go. I found that when my dogs were potty training it set up a strict schedule for taking them out often. That increases the chance of success. Make sure you really praise them when they go outside because ultimately just want to please you. Stick with it they will get it eventually.

DON'T beat him. And DON'T rub his nose in it!
