Right in the middle of the dining room. She did it once the week we got her, once a week later, once a week later again, and now three days in a row. How the fuck do I stop this from happening?

It's not as though we don't let her out enough. when we're home and not asleep, once every three hours I'd say at the minimum. Then once before we leave to go anywhere, once before everyone goes to bed, etc. My mom and sister went to bed I'm guessing 2 hours or so ago, and I'm sure they let her out before that. I get home and there's a big stinky turd right there.

Help me RM. This is the reason we got rid of our last dog....4 years of piss in the bathroom.

EDIT: It's worth noting that this is not a puppy. She's about 3 years old. We adopted her about 3 weeks ago.

Seriously, if anyone has any suggestions PLEASE share! My damn dog (5 months old) does not understand the concept of potty training. I've tried everything, fuck I've even got a bell hanging from my back door for the little bitch to ring when she needs to go. Nothing but failed attempts.

I'll fuckin
I'll fuckin
sew your asshole closed, and keep feedin you
and feedin you, and feedin you, and feedin you

Feel free to treat this thread according to GD standard, but if anyone has any genuine suggestions, honestly, I'd really appreciate them.

my dog has lived a happy life as an outside dog ever since he wouldnt stop shitting and pissing in our house for over a year

*freeway dog

You need to train it to go in a certain spot.

My parents current dog and all their past dogs have always scratched on the backdoor and been let out to go to a certain designated spot.

And it only goes to the bathroom outdoors and in that one certain spot.

Yeah it is a pain in the ass to get them trained, but persistence is the key. Keep on a schedule of taking the dog outdoors and wait around until they do their business.

Keep on the schedule and walk them outdoors, they'll eventually learn that they have a TIME and a PLACE to go to the bathroom.

Ok, but really what's the point of having an "outdoor" dog? I mean I want her cuddling with me up on the couch and shit. How often do you allow yours in the house if at all?

And plus we could never leave a dog outside for too long in Cleveland, it's 25 degrees outside right now.

mecca lives in Buffalo, I think he's got ya beat on that count.

Ok then fine. My questions still stands.

Did you read my comment?

and what do you do to the dog when it goes in the house?

Yeah I read it. Thanks.

Well, we haven't caught her in the act. The first time I got mad, etc, yelled at her. I've been reading that doesn't do anything. Tonight when I came home, smelled it as soon as a walked in the door, and yelled "STUPID BITCH!" but not to her face, it was while she was still barking. When I came in I gave her a look and she looked guilty as hell, but I didn't yell at her or rub her nose in it, etc.. I made her go outside while I cleaned up.

It's easier to catch her in the act or teach her that shitting in the house is bad, by limiting the areas in the house that she will be able to roam while nobody is around.

Designate locking her into a basement or a solo room, then if and when she goes to the bathroom in the house she'll remember what she did when you come home and see it, yell at her and rub her nose in it.

I train dogs very good

dude, playing outside with a dog is awesome especially in the snow. He doesn't come inside anymore and is more of a guard dog as in he alerts us of anyone pulling into our driveway. I still play with him and walk him and he gets a blanket and tons of hay in his house to make sure he stays warm. hes 11 now and is the only one alive from his litter and he was the runt, so I think we're doing pretty well by him.

My pup shat inside only three times. I made him stare his shit in the eye and told him what a motherfucker he was. We're totally cool with each other now. It's the shit.

Dogs are for outside, they lived before houses were invented.......

Humans also lived before houses were invented...I quite enjoy my home.

ummm are you comparing dogs to humans......
