Potty training my dogs.?
I have 2 dogs, they are 2 and 3 yrs old. They had a dog door and used it fine. Then we moved. For about a month they didn't have a dog door and was having accidents in the house. I now have a dog door and they are still going in the house. I have tried a crate and one of the dogs will just go in there no matter how little space he has. I tried a pen and they will still go in there too. Please help!
Update:I never really trained them how to use it the first time, they just figured it out I guess. The older dog is smart and figured it out, the younger dog just followed the older one.

im sorry i didn't understand but if your trying to:
train your dog on poo pie budget:
training dog on toilet - whenever you go to the toilet/rest room/comfort room, let the dog follow you (i know it's embarrassing) so he/she can understand that the Business must be done there. In the exact room, of course, not in the bowl.
training dog to stay out of house - whenever it tries to come in, just block the way, but before that, make sure it doesn't find a way to escape (secure gates closed) though. It will get used to it and understand that this house is meant for you not for them. But they don't take it seriously that you want them out of the house, okay?
Goodluck!
Did you train them the first time? Sounds like they need to go back to basics- that's taking them outside regularly until they go to the toilet and giving tonnes of praise and a little reward. It's simple but frustrating. Most dogs can be trained within a week though.
well, you basically have to start over and pretend their puppies learning how to go potty again. just try to be there everytime they go potty so you can catch them in the act. like right when they pee inside, grab them and tell them NO! or bad girl, or whatever you use to let them know they did somethang bad. if they dont no wht no or bad girl/boy means yet teach them that first and then work on their potty situation. it mite take a while depending on the type of dog, and rite after they go potty in the house and after you've told them no, put them in their cage or somethang for like 2 minutes for punishment. if you have any more questions let me no i am a dog trainer :]
go back to basics and see if that helps another thing is if you are at home all day get two long leashes and tie them around your waist and when you see them wanting to go take them outside and when they go give them a treat they will learn to associate good potty training with praise
