Got a female Pomeranian thats about 11 weeks old. The problems is she unrinates in the house. I've tried bringing her outside about every 2-3 hours to go and it seemed to work for a while with an occasional going in the house. I even set the alarm clock every two hours to bring her out. But now its seems even if she goes outside, about 10 minutes later she will go inside. Some times I can catch on to a certain whine or walk she does before she goes in the house and get her outside, but sometimes she still goes in the house after. Is she still to young to catch on, or am I doing something wrong? |
I used an empty paper towel roll to smack both of the dogs I trained on the butt while I put their nose down to it. That seemed to do the trick. Just be careful. You don't want them to be scared of you, that could cause "submissive urination," which I have seen in other's dogs. That is no good, trust me. Good Luck!

www.dogpsychologycenter.com/ Cesar Millan. He has a show called the Dog Whisperer and a couple of good books. A lot of it is very common sense stuff that people just don't realize. That web site was just the first thing that popped up on a web search, but there are lots of them. I would web search for him, or just pick up one of his books. |

Its not to young to start, but it is too young to expect 100% results. That being said, it doesn't sound like your dog is having random accidents once in a while, but that she doesn't quite get the idea. I also reccomend crate training. You should look into getting one of the portable crates, because you are going to need one eventually anyway to take your dog on trips or whatever. |

You say you try to take it out every 2-3 hours, you need to take a small pup out atleast every half hour. Take it out every half hour and when it pee's or poops tell him good girl/boy and give them a treat. Tell him/her lets go outside each time, they will relate it to going potty outside and the reward with it also. For the difficult one's you may have to potty train with a kennel, which is another job in itself. |
