We have 'rescued' a dog which is about 8months???? - 1 year old????? and he is NOT housetrained. He does go outside (using the dog door) sometimes, but also goes on the floor and carpet ALOT!!!!
He is a beautiful dog (Bichon Frise x Poodle) but the mess is driving me crazy? How do I train an older dog?
You gotta be watching him to catch him. As soon as you see he's doing something, pick him up and put him outside where you want him to go. I guess he's still young enough to get the picture.
Yep I completely understand, but when you do see it and can do something then do! It's not like you can sit down and have a chat with a dog about how it's wrong to pee inside Good Luck
We just adopted a 1 year old mini daschound and she is struggling with the toilet training as well. I am taking her outside every hour or so and making her stay on the grass. If she does anything I give her lots of cuddles and pats and then bring her back in. We still have some problems and I was about to start a thread about the same thing. Lets see if we can swap ideas and try to get them trained at the same time!
