How to train dog to pee on pee pad?
I have a 7 year old pom who is trained to pee outside but i now live in an apartment and i have to leave her in my room when im at work because she barks to much and she pees on the carpet.. how can i train her to pee on a peemat or to wait for me to get home?
I just have to wonder that if your dog was already potty trained, then why are you having issues with the dog now. It sounds as if the dog wasnt trained enough in the first place. I would suggest not to train her to pee on the pee pad unless she is too elderly to hold her pee which doesnt sound like the case as most dogs will confuse this with being able to pee in the house period. If she is able to hold it without any medical restrictions then you should skip the pad and train her to pee outside. First she should be put on a strict schedule. Whether training puppy or dog, start by using this schedule.
As soon as you wake in the morning, be sure to take the dog straight outside to the where you want her to relieve herself. Being the morning, she should go quickly. Lavish her with a lot of praise to make her know that she did a good job. Then inside it is to go eat. As soon as she is finished eating, outside again to relieve herself. Be sure to stay there until she relieves herself or she will get confused and think that she doesnt have to go. Again lavish her with a lot of praise. Seeing you work during the day, you may want to invest in a crate rather than let her wander in a whole room. This usually helps a dog to not urinate while you are away.Be sure that the crate is large enough for the dog to stand and comfortably turn around in. If you get one too big, then it will not work and she may relieve herself in the crate. Ask a pet associate to help you if unsure of what size to buy. Also you should watch her water intake as she is a small breed and small breeds have small bladders and once this fills, small dogs have a tendency to be harder to house break due to this. Remember her bladder is usually smaller than her bowl so dont let her overfill with water and water and food should also be taken up at 6 pm and no later to prevent nighttime accidents. Once you get home, straight out to the potty place again and again lavish praise on her. Then after that it should be every hour she should be taken out until you can figure out how long she can go comfortably without peeing. The less accidents in the house the better obviously. So watch for those signs such as sniffing excessively, pawing, circling, and hind end low while walking. And always clean up spots as soon as they happen and be sure to use a cleaner that will get rid of the odor so the dog can not smell it at all as to not be confused. Be strict about this schedule and soon your dog should be all set, but i would also suggest taking her to the vet to be sure there isnt a medical problem underlying also. Good luck
