I might be running out of patience.....pls. help!

hi santos, it is a great fun to raize a puppy, but it is not easy to teach her what she should do, what do not. it should take time to do so, but some puppy really will not learn it well no matter how long you took to teach her, i do not know whether your slurpee is in this situation or not. as you like her, i think you should take more time to teacher her till she learn well.

santos First of all, if you don't correct a dog or puppy the second the wrong doing happens than forget it. For you to push her nose in it and scold her after the fact is a complete waste of time because she does not understand why you are yelling at her. The key to potty training is a regimented schedule..You must feed her at the same times every day so that you know when she is going to eliminate. pups should be walked on the leash every hour on the hour and when she goes to the bathroom outside, praise the hell out of her..She will catch on quickly. Puppies take a lot of patience and commitment on your part. If you don't have the time than prehaps a puppy is not a good idea for you. I cant emphasize enough how important a schedule of feeding is.. Think of it..If you ate all day long and at different times, would you know when you were going to have to use the "comfort room"? also, putting her in their is also a bad idea because you are teaching her that it is ok to emiminate in the house..Take her out!!! every hour if you can and after she eats, straignt away!! Please dont yell at her after the fact because she just wont get it and you'll fustrate yourself and confuse her. Yes puppies can be taught and are every day..It just takes a little know how. Even though they are young, they learn very fast and praise is the key as they love to make you happy..I worked for a dog trainer for a few years while I was in college and if I can help you in any way I'm happy to do so..Good luck SCHEDULE and WALKS!!!

santos I have one more thing..Why are you keeping a pitbull in a cage? I hope he gets out for walks and exercise..If you dont have the room for such a big dog than maybe you should find a more suitable home for him..Its not fair to keep him caged. You'll end up with an angry dog that could really become a problem. That breed is very high strung and needs a certain kind of care...definately not a cage..I'm not criticizing you, just trying to help J

I never had puppy, but just recently my Husband rescued a puppy from our neighbour, I think the kids picked up this puppy somewhere in the street, but their parents refuse to have him, so they dumped him back in the street. Thankfully my Husband sees them and ask the kids if we could have the puppy and they agree, they were surprised at first, lol! We are living in apartment building and we don't have garden or front yard for him to stay, so the only chance we've got is to train him to wee and poo on the paper and it also because he is too young to take him outside to poo. Thankfully he is now learning to go on the paper every time he needs to wee or poo, but I still keep my eyes on him. We are not sure how old is he, but the way he looks, my Husband and his friend says that he must be 6 weeks old. Maybe just have more patience with Slurpee and hopefully in time she'll learn where to go and whenever you see her wee on the place where she needs to, say her few times that she's a good girl, it might help. And one thing, if you clean the place where she wee and poo and you don't like her to go there again, try to clean it with disinfectant or chlorine, so she can't smell her wee and poo there. I'm sorry, but I don't know much of how to raise puppy and what I'm saying here is just based on a week experienced.

When I was young, I had one puppy. It always ran following me and brought back my shoes in its mouth. I did not spend too much time to teach it. i.e. when it was hungry, I always threw one shoe and let it bring the shoe back to me before I gave it food. I think this is a kind of motivation. May be you can try this way. Good luck.

trainning a dog entails a lot of patience. It would also take time for the dog to be train just have more patience because it is worth it. dogs are good pets.

Any dog that I've raised, I have trained to let me know when they need to go outside. I have never trained a dog to go in a certain spot in the house. It is a lot of work and requires a lot of patience I know.

hi santos__mlirs she is only two months old so it is going to take time and much patience. she can be trained,if she pees and poos where you don't want her to,you must scold her immediately otherwise she will not associate your upset with what she did, and on no not in the bathroom, thats not a good place,try a utility room and keep newspaper down and try to make her associate the newpaper with having to go to the bathroom,try a litle while after she eats and every time she goes on the newspaper praise her like everything. it will take some time as she is very young but she will be trainable. dont use the comfort room as you call it as that might turn out to be a disaster.

So you make your puppy smell her pee and poo poo! I use to do that with my dog too when she was the same age as your slurpee... I made her smell her pee and poo and then bring her inside the rest room... sometimes I left her inside for a couple of minutes. I talked loudly to her and exaggerated my facial expression so that she will understand that I am upset with what she did. I believe that is effective.

You just have to give her more time and patience because you are dealing with an immature young puppy. She will soon learn.

PS:
Don't forget to praise and reward your puppy on her first poo and pee inside the rest room.

PSS:
Your puppy has a nice and cute name! Who named her?

yes, you are. you wanted that puppy so you better have patient. pets are like our child. you will never be a good parent if you are like that in your pets. they were the one who will also teach us how to be a good parent. what you will do since i also have pets in the house i have 3 cats and they were all trained on where to pee or poo. i have a bath tub the one that babie's use. i bought small one and put newspaper on it. they know how to use it they always went there to do their things. i only have to check it often cause cats are very clean they dont want to use it if its dirty already. do the same with your dog
