Elmer Fudd 1 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 my nine week cocker bitch pees and poos in the house especially at night where she poos in her crate, with correct house traing, what age will she be able to not only hold herself for a night but also be able to go outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGD Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Depends on the dog, how hard you work at it and how old the pup was when you got it. Normally by about 12 - 14 weeks they are not far off clean but I had one lab that **** in his crate almost every night until he went into the kennel at 6 months.

cpaulc Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Is the crate quite large for the dog still? We had to block part of our crate off, so if the dog did poo, she would defiantly have to be close to it. Seemed to discourage it. Although very regular visits straight from crate to outside are needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyNCC Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Just been through this I would say at 12 Ish weeks mine no longer pooed in the house at all He hold it over night and straight out in the morning to do poo As for weeing apparently could be up to 6 month Mines 5 and 99% of the time he's done 1 wee on the paper we leave in the kitchen Just because he really can't hold it Reward him a lot when he toilets outside treats and a good belly rub they will soon learn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catweazle Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Patience is the key, after an accident take him straight outdoors. If you shout and rage at him he'll just find a corner somewhere you can't find it so easily. Lot's of praise and a treat after the first morning pee in the garden.

seph234 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 My new Lab Fern is just over 12 weeks and she has been dry for the last couple of nights now and is totally dry in the day taking herself out the dog flap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footu Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Wow I got lucky. My dog has never gone indoors or in her crate. She was born and reared outdoors which may explain it. Even after a 2 day vet trip they called and asked us to collect as she wouldn't go in the car park and was busting. Soon as we got her into a field she went.

washerboy Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 A week after you bring it Home or you doing something wrong. Set an alarm and take it out EVERY 15 minutes during the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz2202 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Took my pup about 3 weeks to be total house clean. He was 14 weeks old. I did get up once every night to let him out in the night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Croc Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) I must be very lucky, picked up our Boxer pup on the 28th, at 7 plus weeks old, he's been sleeping right through the night since the 30th, (cage in the bedroom at the moment) put him out at 11 pm then 7 am no whining, barking, nothing, and nothing in the cage He's been asking to go out for the last 4 days. only had 2 "accidents" since he's been here Admittedly we have spent all the time with him since we got him, taking him out every 15 to 20 minutes, unless he's asleep, then straight out when he wakes up Wouldn't class him as house trained yet though He is retrieving a ball back to me, so a possible Goose dog in the making Edited January 6, 2014 by The Croc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Like kids it depends, they all develop differently. If you think there is an issue see a vet. One thing is sure the puppy isn't doing it on purpose to tease / annoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Well she is now up for sale! Will people please take note- puppies poop and wee in the house for a period, you manage it! A dog is for life not just Christmas. Anyone who has raised their own kids will realise its not because they wish to be bad, its just they have no physical control and it comes at different ages! If your household cannot cope with this then kennel your dogs from the get go or don't ever get one. Agree in advance with the other members of your household the plan. I doubt there has ever been a dog that chooses to soil its nest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delburt0 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 My cocker was 12 weeks had the odd accident after this upto 6 months about 3 spillages in total. My wife got some training pads at the door once he peed on it put it outside and let him sniff it on the garden, 2 weeks of this and he was sorted, the training mats where brilliant as they absorbed everything also have a scent to them so the dog wants to pee on them and nowhere else..

Mickthemiller Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I think the answer depends on how much time and effort you are prepared to put in, The way we do it is put the pup outside two or three times and hour and always after food, watch the pup if it starts to give signs of wanting to go get it outside. have a command for it ours is "BE BUSY" when it goes give plenty of praise. Keep reinforcing the command Even during the night we set the alarm to take it out hourly. I reckon it takes two to three weeks to get them clean. But that is not to say there won,t be an accident, don't scold the pup it must be your fault for not putting it out. Seems like a lot of work but as I said in the first paragraph.

kent Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 It is for sale What a shame on the poor dog Yup, apparently I read that you still have to train the working cocker to hunt and retrieve, that was a big surprise to me - well I think that should be a complaint to trading standards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmer Fudd 1 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 id recommend that before you go slagging somebody off you may want to ask about the circumstances of such an event. for the record my 8 year old Labrador rejected her within the first few days getting worse and worse eventually tossing her across the living room. i had no problem what so ever with the evacuating all over the house and would have loved to keep her but i had to consider my older dog. im not going to go in to any more details of the other private matters which led to the unfortunate sale of my little puppy. and to Kent, be a little more considerate as i assure you it is no easy thing having to sell a member of your family after only a short period of time so next time maybe just keep it to your self!
