How do you re-train your dog you just got to go potty outside instead of in the house?

Answer 1

What worked for my new dog was everytime you see your puppy "squat" or walk around and sniff, take the dog outside and sit him in the grass. If the dog has to go, he will go. Then reward your puppy with a treat. You will have to repeat this process for as long as your puppy gets use to it. Everytime they go outside, give your dog a treat. Repeat this everytime and eventually the dog will go to the door when he has to potty. If he still does it in the house, roll up a newspaper and give them a "love tap" on the buttox and set him outside again. Good Luck! ; )

Sometimes dogs purposely pee in order to get your attention. If your dog has not had its share of attention, a leak on the floor will angrilly express that they're angry at you. If you haven't taken them out for their morning walk, some piddle will explain it. Make sure that your dog has no reason to have an "accident". If they still do it, its because they probably haven't learned yet that bathroom trips are to be taken outside. Give your dog plenty of time to romp around and use the restroom in the outdoors instead of cooping them up inside and expecting them to learn. If you're busy for most of the day, leave pads in the house for your dog to use instead of having to go out on a walk. Remember: it's still good to give your dog fresh air.

But still, some dogs never become fully house-broken. I know several dogs that still can't remember to use their pads or the grass outside and have accidents after years and years of training.

It depends on how old the dog is really...i mean you could train them to go inside if you want to give up your flooring but if they have been going outside for many years it isn't likely they will be trained into to go in a designated place but if they are young and small get a cookie sheet and put fake grass in it ( the green plastic stuff some people use as outside carpeting) they will go in there
