Question: Potty training older dog?

I recently adopted an older dog (8). He has been raised on a chain in a yard his whole life according to the shelter. I do not want an outside dog and I do not think dogs should be forced to live on a chain.

He is definitely not housebroken at all. He goes wherever whenever. I tried housebreaking him the same way I have puppies with a crate and watching him like a hawk. He doesn’t even offer to potty in his crate (he LOVES his crate). I take him out he is still getting used to a leash he will pee outside but as soon as we set foot inside he goes to the kitchen and does his business.

He is a rather large mutt as well so his poo is not small LOL

Any tips are greatly appreciated…

and as always if you would like vote for my friends dog (I ask everywhere lol)

Answer: well, first of all, make sure that you praise him when he goes potty outside, and scold him right away when you catch him going potty inside. then take him right back outside again.

also, when you clean up his pee/poo inside the house, make sure you use bleach or an enzymatic cleaner so that he won’t be able to smell where he previously went potty.

he’s not pottying in his crate because that’s probably where he sleeps, and dogs never potty where they sleep b/c they want to keep it clean.

Question: Need a guaranteed method of how to Potty Train My Dog? Please help.(details inside)?

I just got a female, eight week old, lab/german shepard mix.

Is 8 weeks old enough to start potty training?(I think it is)

Bulletproof suggestions please, it needs to be 100% guaranteed to work if you can.

Thanks.

Answer: Bulletproof suggestions

Take dog out often…every 30 min if you need to

Get a crate…when you cant watch directly….crate it

Dont let the dog out of your sight when not crated

When you see the dog circling, digging, or exhibiting other “toilet” behavior…take it out immediatly

PRAISE when the dog is outside, going pee or poop

Go thru this hell for a couple of week…the dog will get a hang of it.

NO, 8 weeks is not too early
