It is good to train inside and outside so the dog learns to listen around the outside distractions and inside distractions. A fenced yard or unoccupied field would be best for training outside.

Answer: Initially you want to begin training your dog inside to build a solid foundation on certain cues. Once the dog is performing all the cues with very little error you should then move the training outside to generalize the behavior. Be sure that there is very little distraction when you first begin to train outside. As your dog performs better and better you can slowly add certain distractions.

For the first few years, leaving you puppy in a crate will be the safer option. They have less to get a hold of that might hurt them. After a few years, leaving a dog outside is not a bad thing, just make sure that in their boredom they will not jump the fence.

Puppies are a bit more complicated because they go practically all the time but with an older dog you can control the when you give them water and food (they usually go soon after eating), take them outside, use a command for them to pee or poo and when they do, give positive reinforcement. There's little point to punishing them after they pee or defecate in the house because they really don't know what they've done wrong, you'll just stress the dog and it won't accomplish anything.

Try keeping the dog inside for shorter periods inside, slowly increase the amount of time it stays indoors. At the start make sure you put paper down too!!

How do I train my dog to switch from doing potty outside to doing it on pads inside?

Take the pad (IT HAS TO HAVE URINE ON IT) so it can sense where it last did it and move it inside so it can potty. This may take a while to train, but it will get the hang of it.


Is tthere a product you can get 2 stop your dog fowling indoors?

the best way is to train them, everytime they fowl inside take them over to the stain and tell them no several times then put them outside or in a kennel, repeat this for every time it happens. when the dog uses the restroom outside give them a treat. it is a lot harder to train an older dog.


What age do you potty train pit bull puppies?

You should start training your puppy to potty train as soon as you can. Take the dog out a lot and praise them and give them treats whenever they go to the bathroom outside. If you catch the dog peeing inside say no sternly and take them outside. Leave them out there for a while so they get that they are supposed to go to the bathroom when they are outside. Praise them when they do go to the bathroom outside.

How do you house train your 6 month old llassa apsodoes business on paper inside but when you tke him outside he doesnt do it that often then when you go back in he does it?

If your dog always goes on the paper when inside this means the dog thinks that is where you want it to go to the bathroom. This makes training a lot easier. All you have to do is slowly move the paper outside, then get rid of the paper and make sure to praise the dog when it goes outside.

Which is better dog gherman shepred or rotwiller?

My suggestion is that a German Shepard is a better, kinder dog. But it also depends on how you train it! If you train it well, and love it, it could be a great dog. NO matter what kind!


What should you do if a German Shepherd refuses to defecate?

Some dogs are harder to train than others. Somebody once told me to never play with the dog outside when you're trying to train him. Outside is for pooping. Inside is for playing and having fun. Also, if you can catch him pooping inside, tell him " NO! NO! BAD DOG!" but say it in a low growly voice. And growl at him like his mother would do if she was mad at him. He may understand that. Good luck.

What are some fun thing to do with your dog?

If you are inside you can play fetch, play hide-and-seek or follow the leader. You can also try to train your dog to do some funny or cool things. If you are outside you can play fetch, or tag. Dogs really depend on people for there needs so if you can think of something better, do it! These are just some suggestions.
