Dog Training Pads

Dog training?

I have a one year old have-ton puppy. I have been having trouble potty training her. I would like to get a fence and a doggy door so she could go outside as she needs, but this is not an option. We trained her to go on the potty pads that we have but she would still pee upstairs and only occasionally uses the pads. We just got back from vacation and picked her up from the dog sitters. She has the option to go outside as she wishes there. We have also tried putting a gate up so she can't get up stairs. She hates (and i mean HATES) being in her crate, thus crate training is not a very good option. Please, how can I potty train this dog!!! Thanks!
I can't let her out safely for there is nothing to keep her in. and i will NOT chain her up. I do not want to do ANYTHING crule to my little girl, i love her and would like to do this is best way for her.
She sleeps with me in my room not in the crate

I think you have got to back to basics with her. Start her off potty training as if she was a puppy. Get rid of the potty pads and take her outside immediately she wakes up in the morning (On a leash) take her to a designated spot where you want her to relieve herself, tell her to 'go potty' or whatever phrase you use and wait with her until she goes then praise her and maybe give her a little treat for being a good girl and then take her straight back indoors.

You must do this again after her breakfast and then after every meal, also after she has been playing indoors for any length of time and always after she has been asleep. Always take her out last thing before you settle her down for the night.

It will take a lot of your time and a great deal of patience but if you want a clean puppy it is something you must do.

Eventually she will start to let you know she needs to go outside once she gets used to going to the same place every time. You have to be very vigilant to recognise the signs, i.e. the dog usually gives a little whimper and walks up and down or circles round and round before they actually perform so if you see her doing this take her outside immediately and wait with her. It is no use putting a pup outside on her own, she will only play around and then most probably will come straight back indoors and pee or poop on your best rug. She has to know why she is out there.

At one year old she should have full control over her bodily functions but it's up to you to teach her where she must do this.

At her age she will soon realise what you want of her and within a very short time you will have her housetrained.

Good luck with her.

Before you get a dog - train the children!

Children need to be taught how to treat pets, both their own and others', before being allowed near them. Most often, dogs bite out of frustration, fear or pain - they cannot talk, they cannot shout, so their only defense is to bite. In order to avoid those situations, teach your children to handle pets with respect, show them the correct way to handle a dog, and help them develop the loving, fun relationship they should have with the family pets.

Puppies may be cute, fluffy and playful, but they are not stuffed toys. They should not be smothered, hugged tightly, pinched, pulled or tugged on. Explain to your children that they feel pain just the same way we do. If being pinched hurts us, it will hurt the dog too.

Young children should not be allowed to pick dogs up and carry them around. Firstly, they tend to pick pets up by their front legs, which can injure the dog. They don't carry them properly, and tend to drop them rather quickly too. A dog that is being hurt is going to react in the only way they can - with a nip. Teach your children not to pull dogs round their neck either - choking the dog is not likely to make him a friend.

Teach your children how to pet the dog, where not to touch or poke fingers - eyes, ears, in between pads etc. Buy a book about the breed of dog you are getting, and learn with your children how to read the dog's body language. The position of a dog's ears and tail can tell you a lot about how the dog is feeling and is likely to react. Make sure your children know that a growl is a warning - and if they don't stop what they're doing, they're likely to get bitten.

Teasing is a big problem. It makes for irritable, frustrated dogs, and is likely to end in tears when the dog tries to grab whatever it is being teased with and accidentally grabs a little hand at the same time. I found the best cure for this was to take one of the toys my daughter was playing with, and tease her with it - and then explain that the frustration and anger she was feeling, was exactly how the dogs would feel if she did the same thing to them. Often using examples with their toys helps to illustrate the dog's feelings in the same situation.

You will also need to teach your children to leave the dog alone when it is eating and sleeping. Both my children got nipped approaching a sleeping dog too quickly - the dog gets a fright and most often reacts with an open mouth - they don't even have to be biting to inflict damage with their teeth, especially puppies. Not all dogs are protective of their food or toys, but it will take time to teach the dogs to drop a toy or bone when told to, and until that time, it is best not to let small children try to take anything out of a dog's mouth.

Explain to your children that too much screaming and high-pitched laughter is likely to scare a new puppy, especially when you first bring it home - dogs interpret sounds differently to the way we do, so ask them to try and keep the volume down for a little while until the new puppy gets used to them.

Involve your children in caring for the dog, feeding it, grooming it and cleaning up after it. Just be careful when training the dog - my daughter tried her level best to ruin all our efforts with different commands that made more sense to her, until eventually we had to ban her from training sessions. Don't let children smack, hit or kick dogs - the dogs may retaliate one day and the consequences could be awful. Disciplining the dogs, just like disciplining the children, must be up to the adults in the house. You wouldn't let your eldest child discipline a younger sibling, so don't do it with the dogs either.

Having pets gives children companionship, hours of play and pleasure, but perhaps more importantly, a sense of responsibility and of how to care for another living creature with respect and understanding.
