how to teach your dog to let you know

why not get a doggy door and a small fence around the area it goes out to? also, you can clean the spot he likes with vinegar. all these things taught coco to go out.

Let me not take credit for what my pet is doing. If she wants to go out she will stand near the door and give a mild yelp. If she is outside and wants to get in she will scratch the door. May be just may be my constantly saying "Preiti Garden" and me standing near the door could have given her the idea. That reminds me of my Bull Terrier (May his soul rest in peace)Once came running up our bed and stood with his butt facing us and what do we see! there was an ant there biting him. Poor guy. Yes Dogs do become smart with having constant human company.

Someone asked about age, which is important because an older dog really can't hold it and may have to go out every 2-3 hours. But you said he has the runs, which is a sign that something isn't right with his digestion and you need to either change dog food or get him to the vet. *Note, when changing from one kind of dog food to another, do it slowly or it will really mess with his insides. For example, the first feeding should consist of 3/4 of the old food and 1/4 of the new, slowly increasing the new until all he is getting is the new food. Also, make sure the dog food is a good kind, there are many out there that have fillers and additives dogs don't need. I have 2 50 pound dogs, so I am also considerate of the price and I purchase a bulk bag of Black gold brand for my dogs, it isn't the top premium, but it is better than the cheap stuff.. Now, if the dog is going in one spot because of habit, I posted a picture of one the best inventions man has come up with in housebreaking a dog. When your dog goes in that spot, show him the spot and tell him firmly "NO" then clean it up and then follow the directions and spray the woolite on and around that area. This will remove the odor that dogs associate with as their own personal "spot" Another option, and one I firmly believe in as long as the dog was not mistreated or sick, is to crate them. Get a kennel that is big enough for your dog to stand and turn around in, but not so big that he can do his business in the corner and able to lie down away from where he went. Contrary to what some believe, a kennel is not a punishment, but a prevention. Never leave the dog in a crate more than 6-8 hours, at a time and if done properly, the dog will see the kennel as their own "private bedroom" I leave the door to my kennel open all the time and though Ciara goes in more than Penny, I will occasionally see both just lying in there as if they want to be left alone. A kennel is like a den, and if a dog is in the wild, a den is their place of refuge and they do love it.. I hope that helps and that I gave you everything I can think of..I was raised around dogs and am still learning, because like children, every dog is different..lol

I think you would teach him just like you would a child. Talk to him. Ask him. Take him to the door for the scratching thing. It may take a while. Praise him as you would a child when he does let you know. Dogs are so eager to please. I wonder if dogs are like humans in that some just are born with weaker bladders. What do you think?

mine is a well-behaved dog.Each time when she wants to relieve nature,She go to the toilet by herself.When she was young,she did it anywhere,then every time she finished it,I scolded her .After several times ,She could cry in a low voice before she wanted to do it,I led her to toilet at once.Gradually she was cultivated good habits.

I don't really know how to train them. Our Chihuahua was one to have accidents and we crated him for awhile and let him out just to go outside of the bathroom. He knew he had to hold it in his crate so he wouldn't spoil his house. After that he always goes to the door to ask out. He still goes in his crate if company comes because he doesn't have good manners.. he likes to bark at people who come here. He doesn't like strangers or people he isn't used to. He never hikes his leg in the house or poops in the house. I'm not sure if a dog will have time to ask out if they have diarrhea or upset stomach.. like vomiting.. they just go when they have to. Maybe a doggy door would help.

Watch him he might be going to the dor bbut not saing anothing Our last CHow we got when he was just about 6 weeks okd one day he went to the dor sttod there we didnt pay attention so he pooed infront of the TV that got out atention from then on we took him out Our last 3 dogs sort of trained thier selves on this we just had to pay attention. but I have heard get newspaper and as they go on that move it closer to the door to rub nose in what ever the take out side as ya tell him its a no no to go in the house takes awhile to train but it gets there.

I think you should try to talk to the dog and most times the pets listen or watch what we are saying. I would suggest you to point the finger and tell the dog not to do it and most probably he might not be doing it again after couple of times.

My dog was originally taught to do everything outside by rewarding with biscuits, and soon got used to that, however she then started barking to go out, just to get rewarded (wasn't rewarded unless she performed), but could give a good impression of doing something even if she didn't need to go out. Took a long time to get her out of demanding biscuits every time she went out, but eventually succedded.

I sure wish I knew. We are having the same problem with our dog too. He goes out with us several times a day but he does not let us know when just, he, wants to go out and he has mishaps in the house because of it.

You have to watch their body language very closely, he will show signs, then when you are successful praise him. He'll catch on. On Ya make sure you buy some stuff to clean up after pets, as long as the smell is in the carpet he will think that is ok.

Whenever we've started to train our dogs to go outside, we will associate the words "go outside" with the door that we want the dogs to be able to go out. Then when we catch them using the bathroom in the house we will remove them from the area and take them to the door and tell them go outside. After doing that for a while, they will start to go to the door themselves when they want to be left outside. It takes a while, but it really does work.

I think that it was an accident. You said he had the runs the other day. In this case, maybe he couldn't hold himself and he had to go somewhere. Too bad that you were not around to see him preparing for the dirty job. You know accidents happens when dogs don't feel well. You should not be angry with him, I'm sure he will not repeat this as soon as he will feel better.

I think it depends on the dog's age. If you got the dog from the pound, he may not have been trained properly to go outside. I'm not sure it would work but you could try to retrain him. Just a suggestion. We had a dog that we got from the pound and we had problems with him all the time. Now the ones we purchased as puppies are really good about letting us know it's time to do their business. We started by taking them out as puppies and praising them after they did their business. They would get so excited. We always made them walk to the door. We didn't carry them. The thought was they would know which door to go out. It worked well. Best Wishes!
