Dog toilet training!
4 Answers
I have trained my 5 month old puppy to go to the toilet inside on a puppy pad or newspaper. She has been brilliant, but there is one problem. She'll pee on the paper or pad but wont do the other thing! She prefers to go at random locations around the house. I dont know what to do to tempt her to go on paper. I've tried putting paper in another location so she doesn't have to go in the same place as the pee. Also I have regularly moved the mess onto the paper and prasied her and gave treats but to no avail. Any suggestions???

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.You can't take the mess to the paper and show it to her and praise her, she won't understand what your talking about. You need to catch the dog in the act to let them know what you want, when pooing interrupt with a startle.."uhuh" ( no yelling) and take them to the pad. and keep there until they finish, give a treat and calmly praise. There is allot more to it, but not enough space on here to explain, go to
