My dog pees even after we take her potty outside.
 Anybody else have this problem? |

| our breeder mentioned that puppies should stay outside for about 15 min for potty breaks, for exactly that reason. they don't usually get it all out the first time stay out and play ball or something and see if he goes a 2 nd time and then go in hope that helps  |
| Rubbing her nose it is of NO USE. Thats just mean. When Simon was a pup we resorted to taking him out every fifteen minutes otherwise we had a pee fest in the kitchen. He was four months old before the light bulb went off. Does your pup know how to tell you she needs to go out? Do you keep your eyes on her all the time? Try putting a bell on the door and getting her to ring it when she needs to go. Remember she's just a baby and they have really small bladders and she needs to go out often. |
| Ditto what Pam said. Also, seeing she's a female, there's a pretty high probability she may have a UTI. Girl dogs who squat low to pee are more prone to them. It would be a good thing to have checked out. |
| the not looking at her isn't helping either, if you could catch her doing it, and pick her up and head outside, that would be better than missing her do it I have a phrase potty outside I say when I want dogs to pee. I also say it while they go so they get the connection. btw, the above comment is right.... do not wipe their noses in it. that's an old wives tale or just something stupid someone did once and it caught on. who knows. but you wouldn't take a diaper and stick in a 6 mo old baby's face. same thing. potty training takes time, patience, and more patience. a couple of good weeks at it will save you months of frustration. and we did bring home a female dog once with a UTI so it is def. a good idea to have that looked at ASAP. |
| She may not be nervous right now, but if you continue to rub her nose in accidents she will be. She clearly knows what to expect since she doesn't pee in front of you inside . She will catch on, and you could almost be there. Calm correction, happy praise when she gets it right, and consistency. It takes time, that's all. Shellie |
| My ten week old does that too. Just when you think they are getting it. I guess it just takes time. I am afraid to leave him alone at all anywhere because of that same thing. We have a bell but he doesn't seem to even notice it yet. I wish us luck! Sunshine |
| Thanks everyone. Def. understand not to rub her nose in it and I won't anymore. Thanks for the UTI suggestion and for the well wishes. I think my situation is improving. Talked to my mom who is a really good potty trainer and got some pretty good ideas as w |
That's great, Gertrude! And welcome  Kristine |
| Glad things are getting better! It is a tough one! Frustrating at times! I have a litter of foster pups and it took me a few times to realize...once you let them out to potty, they come in, fill up their guns and they are ready again!  All of ours are boys! I agree leaving them out longer is the key!! Good Luck! |
| I have the EXACT same problem with a 4 mo. female. it just seems like she should get it by now. She knows the alarm means grab leash and walk to the school bus! I've tried all the suggestions, I guess all that is missing is more time. must be part of the stubborn breed. My 3rd OES ... 1st female. just keep trying. |
| I know this is an older thread, but I wanted to share something I read online. It said that in potty training, be careful when you bring them in from outside. Because everything is either a positive or negative affirmation for them, if you let your dog pee then rush him inside, he could become frustrated and think that peeing "ends the fun" of being outside. This explains a lot of problems with dogs having accidents as soon as you bring them in--they may have been holding the best they could so they could stay out! |

On the other hand, there's Eevee who doesn't even want to go out and practically has to be dragged out the door. When I get her out, she goes in the yard, pees, then comes back to the door and looks at me like "okay, I went, now let me back in, it's HOT out here!!" |

When potty training I never played outside while its potty time. They don't need to associate potty time with play time. The pup could get distracted and forget. I seperate the two. This is why you praise like they just got nominated for the nobel pee prize. Peeing outside is the best freaking thing in the world. OMG GOOD DOG!! YAY!! pet pet run run, good dog! yay! good potty!! you just did the most amazing thing in the world!! |
