No1s in the house

[Lancs Lad]

Right................

 

Me little fella has managed to figure out that we dont do no2s in the house, but what can I do about him doing no1s..

 

 

Seems to be urinating at various times, nipping off into the kitchen and having a quick wee on the floor.

 

 

Keep on catching him mid dribble................open door and pull him outside by scruff of neck.

 

 

Doesnt seem to be any pattern to him doing it. Take him out after food and tell him busy.....he drops off the kids............

 

 

Any advice chaps.

My springer did this for while, i all did was try to distract her "mid flow!" by making a loud noise or bang so it was unpleasant for her and made her jump, i dont know if what i did was right but she sits by the back door now when she needs to go, so somethings happened to make her change!!

 

How old is the pup??

 

 

NTTF will be along to save the day soon and put u right:good:

my springer was the same. We just kept an eye on him - everytime he looked like he was gonna try it or if we caught him, we just picked him up under the front legs, carried him outside and told him to go mess, then praised him/gave him a treat. After a few weeks he was fine.

Lancs Lad,

 

Plain and simple you are not getting him out enough.

 

When they wake, after eating, after drinking, after playing and every 30 to 45 minutes in

between. Get him out and give him a command to go...get busy, go pee what ever.

 

I also find that it is useful to teach them to ask to go out at the door. This is easy to teach as a puppy as they will bark quite easy. When you get to the door....not when in a rush as he needs to go.......use a command .......outside .....you may have to say it a few times in a very excited voice to get him to bark. As soon as he barks open the door get him outside and give a treat. Eventually the pup puts two and two together and will start to ask to go out.

I do exactly as nttf has said and it works.

The command I have always used is, "on the grass" repeating it until they pee, then make a big fuss of them.

I had an adult springer that all her life would pee and then come to me for the "fuss".

[Paul in North Lincs.]

My ESS was the same....he would pee where and when he wanted. Having kept lurchers for years I couldnt figure it out, as runners seemt o be so much more paticular, cleaner and relatively easy to 'potty train'

 

I stuck with it and now he's fine...just taken them a little longer to learn. I was told by an old hand that springers usually dont become toilet trained until around 18 - 20 weeks old. B)

Blimey, that much...... Will have to get up off my fat **** a bit more then.. :-)

 

Do you let him back in even if he doesnt go? Or do you keep him out till he does.

[new to the flock]

I think that you will find that most times he will go within 5 minutes of getting him out. if after 10 or 15 he still has not gone then bring him back in but be ready to get him back out again.
