I might be running out of patience.....pls. help!

santos I have one more thing..Why are you keeping a pitbull in a cage? I hope he gets out for walks and exercise..If you dont have the room for such a big dog than maybe you should find a more suitable home for him..Its not fair to keep him caged. You'll end up with an angry dog that could really become a problem. That breed is very high strung and needs a certain kind of care...definately not a cage..I'm not criticizing you, just trying to help J

santos First of all, if you don't correct a dog or puppy the second the wrong doing happens than forget it. For you to push her nose in it and scold her after the fact is a complete waste of time because she does not understand why you are yelling at her. The key to potty training is a regimented schedule..You must feed her at the same times every day so that you know when she is going to eliminate. pups should be walked on the leash every hour on the hour and when she goes to the bathroom outside, praise the hell out of her..She will catch on quickly. Puppies take a lot of patience and commitment on your part. If you don't have the time than prehaps a puppy is not a good idea for you. I cant emphasize enough how important a schedule of feeding is.. Think of it..If you ate all day long and at different times, would you know when you were going to have to use the "comfort room"? also, putting her in their is also a bad idea because you are teaching her that it is ok to emiminate in the house..Take her out!!! every hour if you can and after she eats, straignt away!! Please dont yell at her after the fact because she just wont get it and you'll fustrate yourself and confuse her. Yes puppies can be taught and are every day..It just takes a little know how. Even though they are young, they learn very fast and praise is the key as they love to make you happy..I worked for a dog trainer for a few years while I was in college and if I can help you in any way I'm happy to do so..Good luck SCHEDULE and WALKS!!!

On smaller dogs and some large r not easy to train, it takes longer. The puppy may be having a problem because u r placing her in another room, instead of outside of the home. She may smell the other dog in that room and as all dogs do want to do their thing in another place other than the other dog...Outside of the home the dog has a better choose.. REMEMBER ALWAYS LUV/CARE FOR YOUR DOG/ PET, THEY WILL ALWAYS LUV U..

Hello Santos! New puppies are so much fun, but also "challenging" too. Hey, the puppy is only 2 months old! Give her a chance! When she does just one thing well, praise her over and over, and snuggle with her! Then, the next time, give her even more praises! Puppies just want to please their owner, but gee, she's barely weaned from her mom! Try the praises, use patience, and see how far she'll come! Also, please give at least some exercise to the Pitt! Come up with some way ..... Hugs are great, but moving some is better too. That lets the Pitt know it's loved too!

So you make your puppy smell her pee and poo poo! I use to do that with my dog too when she was the same age as your slurpee... I made her smell her pee and poo and then bring her inside the rest room... sometimes I left her inside for a couple of minutes. I talked loudly to her and exaggerated my facial expression so that she will understand that I am upset with what she did. I believe that is effective. You just have to give her more time and patience because you are dealing with an immature young puppy. She will soon learn. PS: Don't forget to praise and reward your puppy on her first poo and pee inside the rest room. PSS: Your puppy has a nice and cute name! Who named her?

hi santos, it is a great fun to raize a puppy, but it is not easy to teach her what she should do, what do not. it should take time to do so, but some puppy really will not learn it well no matter how long you took to teach her, i do not know whether your slurpee is in this situation or not. as you like her, i think you should take more time to teacher her till she learn well.

Just like human beings, some of quick learners and some are slow learners. I have never spanked my pets, no matter what. When the time came, they learnt to realise where they have permission to ease themselves. You've got to have patience.

Puppys go to the bathroom very often because of there small bladders. She has to go out everytime she eats, drinks, wakes up, plays...ect. Ya that means you have to make a million potty runs during the day but oh well its better than on the floor. Also when she does go outside praise her. Say good girl you went potty outside! Then give her a treat. Eventually she will get it and let you know when she has to go. Also the whole keeping her in a cage is not so good all the time. She has lots of energy and needs to be able to get it out. She goes on the floor because she is mad at you for keeping her penned up. Its also a good idea to get some wee wee pads or puppy pads. They have a smell that makes the dog want to go on them. Once she gets that down you can move the pads outside and once she gets that you can remove the pads altogether. I hope some of this will help you!!! Good luck and dont give up yet!! ~May The Kisses Of An Angel Cover And Protect You Always!~ Copper

hi santos__mlirs she is only two months old so it is going to take time and much patience. she can be trained,if she pees and poos where you don't want her to ,you must scold her immediately otherwise she will not associate your upset with what she did, and on no not in the bathroom, thats not a good place,try a utility room and keep newspaper down and try to make her associate the newpaper with having to go to the bathroom,try a litle while after she eats and every time she goes on the newspaper praise her like everything. it will take some time as she is very young but she will be trainable. dont use the comfort room as you call it as that might turn out to be a disaster.

DO NOT SPANK AND SCOLD YOUR PUPPY, EVER, PLEASE -- she's 2-months old. would you spank and scold a newborn baby if he peed in your face while changing his diaper? of course you wouldn't. you can go to the internet and read up on how to train your puppy. also, if you watch her closely throughout the day, you'll realize when it's time for her to relieve herself. try putting a newspaper under her when you realize it's time for her to go. you have to keep an eye on her to know when she has to go. she doesn't understand scolding and spanking and will associate those awful actions with bad things. she may even get to the point where she won't go at all which will cause health problems. BE PATIENT. YOU'RE THE ONE WHO NEEDS TRAINING -- NOT YOUR PUPPY.

Maybe you could hire a professional dog trainer. Most dogs would at least show some signs of improvement by this time. I know it can get frustrating training a new dog. We adopted ours and had to spend a lot of time breaking them of bad habits. Sorry I don't have any fool proof advice. Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

I understand that it's really difficult to take care of a puppy. I was once in your shoes, and I had two puppies to take care of at the same time. Puppies cannot control their bladder and bowel functions that yet. There are lots of techniques and tips that you can search through the Web, try to try some of them. Just a little patience...raising a dog is all worth it. :)

I think you need to have a little bit more patience with her. Some puppies just take a little longer to learn than others. You can watch when she does her business in the house, and figure out what kind of a schedule she's on, then you can take her outside when you think it's about time for her to do her business. She's two months old, she might just need a little bit more time. As for your Pit Bull outside, this is not a good way to treat your dog. I have two Pit Bulls, and they are both inside dogs. A Pit Bull needs just as much love and attention as your puppy does. Are you trying to make your Pit Bull mean? What you're doing is a good way to do it.

Ok, you have the right idea but you have to treat her almost like a child. When she wakes up in the morning take her outside until she uses the bathroom. Leave some or her poop out there so she will know where to go. If you have a crate use it if not get one. Dogs will not use the bathroom that much in the place where they sleep. Also easier to clean the mess up when they do. When she eats wait about 5 mins and take her outside again. When she drinks same thing. Just get her used to going out side but you are going to have to train her to do this some dogs take longer than others. I had a pug with whom I loved dearly and most people will tell you they are stubborn but if you are more stubborn than they are, they will go outside. Good luck.

Any dog that I've raised, I have trained to let me know when they need to go outside. I have never trained a dog to go in a certain spot in the house. It is a lot of work and requires a lot of patience I know.

I never had puppy, but just recently my Husband rescued a puppy from our neighbour, I think the kids picked up this puppy somewhere in the street, but their parents refuse to have him, so they dumped him back in the street. Thankfully my Husband sees them and ask the kids if we could have the puppy and they agree, they were surprised at first, lol! We are living in apartment building and we don't have garden or front yard for him to stay, so the only chance we've got is to train him to wee and poo on the paper and it also because he is too young to take him outside to poo. Thankfully he is now learning to go on the paper every time he needs to wee or poo, but I still keep my eyes on him. We are not sure how old is he, but the way he looks, my Husband and his friend says that he must be 6 weeks old. Maybe just have more patience with Slurpee and hopefully in time she'll learn where to go and whenever you see her wee on the place where she needs to, say her few times that she's a good girl, it might help. And one thing, if you clean the place where she wee and poo and you don't like her to go there again, try to clean it with disinfectant or chlorine, so she can't smell her wee and poo there. I'm sorry, but I don't know much of how to raise puppy and what I'm saying here is just based on a week experienced.

When I was young, I had one puppy. It always ran following me and brought back my shoes in its mouth. I did not spend too much time to teach it. i.e. when it was hungry, I always threw one shoe and let it bring the shoe back to me before I gave it food. I think this is a kind of motivation. May be you can try this way. Good luck.

trainning a dog entails a lot of patience. It would also take time for the dog to be train just have more patience because it is worth it. dogs are good pets.
