I have a 13 week old schnauzer puppy. Her name is holly and I got her from a breeder at 7 weeks. my problem is she is not potty trained yet. I've tried crate training but it seems that she'll pee outside but after 40 mins of being outside with her we go back in the house and 5 mins later she take a dump in the house. Is there any advice you can give to a new dog owner?

I can only tell you what's worked best for me. I always pick a specific spot in the house and I put newspapers there. When one of my puppies pees or poops anywhere in the house, I rub their nose in it while strongly saying "NO!" and then take them to the papers. I usually put the papers somewhere close to the door that I eventually want to use to take them out. Once they've gotten the idea that they're only supposed to do their business on the papers, I take the papers away. I've found that they'll still go to that same spot and it's just a matter to open the door. Of course, all dogs are different with different personalities. Some are more stubborn than others. lol. But even the most stubborn have eventually come around. Good luck!
