Dog Training & Health

Let me first say that, in general, the dogs are doing very well with regard to being housebroken. However, I would just like to get some advice on how to get them to stop peeing in their crate during the day.

Here are their backgrounds. Both puppies are 5 months old, one is a male Shih-Poo, approximately 10lbs, the other is a female Miniature Schnauzer, approximately 9lbs.

They both are kept inside in a 5'x5' ...

At the end of May, I adopted a 2 month old 'hound mix' (expected to be 30-40 pounds fully grown) from a local shelter. Scarlett. I currently have another terrier mix, Caesar, who had no troubles potty training. The three of us live in a second floor apartment with my boyfriend and a roommate. As it turns out, Scarlett is never going to be anywhere near 30-40 pounds; she seems to be nearly purebred dachshund ...

I have an 8 month old boston terrior. 99% of the time he does not go to the bathroom inside the house when i am home. He can hold it for a long time when im home, but when i leave its a different story. Most times if i leave he has pooped and peed in the house, even if im not gone for a long time. I have him on a schedule on going ...

Hi all, I have just join this forum and am hoping that I will find a solution to my concern.

I had the pleasure of rescuing a stray puppy and he's been with me for 3 months now. We were staying in a small apartment until now and he was trained to pee on a crate and poop in the bathroom. I recently moved to another apartment which is closer to work so I can ...

I have a similar problem! To avoid responses that are not applicable I am going to give you the complete history and then PRAY that someone has an answer that will not only help us but solve this problem.

We "rescued" an 8 month old Papillon puppy from what I would call a puppy mill. Apparently, nobody wanted him because he has an overbite and would not meet showing or breeding requirements but whatever! We ...

I have two American Bulldog puppies (brother and sister) and their 4months old. My female has been potty trianed for a month now and my male still goes in his crate everynight! I feel like I've tried everything but I'm running out of ideas. I scold him when he goes in his crate and overly praise him when he does go outside. His crate is the right size but it doesn't seem to matter because ...

I have a 5 month old female Shih Tzu, and a 7 month old male Shih tzu. I got the male first, did not crate train but he learned to go outside easy, and a potty pad in the restroom if he could not hold it. Then i got the female, tried the same method, would not work. So I tried crated training. There is improvement, she now will go potty outside, but 5-15 min ...

I have a 10 month old terrapoo who was potty trained at about 4 months but has just started peeing in the house daily. I thought it was because i just moved to a new area and she was nervous but am starting to get concerned. I take her on 3 walks of about 1/2 an hour daily and she just refuses to do her business until as soon as I walk in the door ...

My wife and I have a 1 year old miniature poodle that we are trying to housetrain. At the beginning we used pee pads because we both work all day and he got into the habit of just using those. Now that we have a bit more free time we decided to put them up and train him to go exclusively outside. Even before this he would go outside if on walks after he wakes ...

I have a 2 and a half year old english cocker and she has been able to urinate on a potty tray in our apartment. About a month ago, my mom bought a new tray since our old one was rotting. Now, my dog refuses to potty on the new tray and merely urinates on our balcony(her crate and potty tray are kept there). She also makes more frequent accidents inside than before. I know ...
