General Tips
Tip 1: Does your dog have little accidents indoors or in the crate?
New puppy or dog in the house? Or perhaps the dog was purchased from a pet store? These dogs are confined to their crates 24/7 so they eliminate in their crates. It happens at such a young age it becomes imprinted on their behavior and they think that it's normal to do that. Same with puppy mill dogs.
- Try to ignore the bad behavior.
- Take the dog outside as much as possible, especially before bedtime.
- Get a treat that the dog really really likes, such as dried liver, and each time the dog eliminates outside, make a huge production out of it. High praise, hugs - "good boy/girl" - and a treat. (The neighbors may think you're crazy, but it works.) Continue that as much as possible and the dog will eventually get the idea that when it goes outside, it gets a huge amount of attention and really good treats. Little by little, it makes a difference.
- Keep everything positive, positive, positive. It takes a lot of patience and consistency.
- Restricting food and water at night, say two hours before the last walk, might help prevent overnight accidents or needing to go immediately in the morning.
