A dog will not go to the bathroom where it sleeps.
Buy a dog cage. Keep the dog in it and it will not go to the bathroom in it because that is where it sleeps.
If this is a puppy, the puppy will need to be let out of the cage a few times a day. It may seem cruel to keep the puppy in the cage, but this is only until the puppy gets housebroken.
Keep the puppy in the cage all night long. In the morning, you let the puppy out of the cage, but be sure to take it immediately outside. Use a command word/phrase such as "outside." The puppy will have to pee first thing, so you are getting the puppy use to peeing outside. Do not let the puppy out a linger in the house...you will surely be cleaning pee up and the puppy didn't learn anything.
Be sure to praise the puppy for peeing outside. Play with the puppy after it has peed and let him run around outside for awhile. Once you go back inside, put the puppy in the cage again.
In about 2 hours, do the same process of opening the cage and taking the puppy outside immediately and say the command "outside". Praise the puppy when it pees and play with the puppy again. This ensures that the puppy will know what is expected of him and will learn that he will get praise when he goes bathroom outside.
Do not hit the dog with the newspaper even if it pees inside by accident. If the dog has been out of the cage inside the house and has an accident, stand by the accident and say, "no". Then take the puppy outside and give the command "outside". If the puppy pees....praise him by saying, "good boy...good outside." Be happy and praise the puppy when he is outside even if he doesn't go.
There will come a time when the puppy will be let out of the cage and go straight for the door to be let outside. Always praise it when it does this.
Once the puppy is automatically going to the door and has had little or no accidents in the house...keep the puppy out of the cage for longer periods of time always keeping an eye on it. Keep the puppy in the cage at night and let it out in the morning.
At some point the puppy will learn to signal that it needs to go outside to go to the bathroom. The puppy may stand by the door or keeping walking back and forth from you to the door to let you know. Never keep a puppy waiting when it has signaled it has to go outside. When the puppy signals, always praise it.
At some point, you will no longer need the cage because the puppy will signal you that it needs to go outside.
24/7 monitoring. I kid you not. I went 3 days and 2 nights without sleep becuz my pup could pee in the blink of an eye. Consistency and patience are key. Crating also works, cuz dogs don't like to soil their sleeping quarters. Feed doggy, then immediately take outside. Give your dog a chance to eliminate (maybe 10 minutes, at most?) If he starts sniffing around and not doing 'business', immediately take back inside and into crate/cage/kennel that houses sleeping quarters. Wait 15 minutes, and try again. Rinse and repeat...
Bring treats with you in the event he DOES do his business outside. Immediately praise him and give him treat right on the spot.
Do understand that he will make a lot of mistakes before he figures it out. He doesn't understand English, nor does he understand that we humans prefer elimination done in a certain spot. Have lotsa papertowels and carpet cleaner/odour removers ready! If your dog has already done it on your floor, lower your voice, and say "Bad dog!" or "Ah ah!" and immediately go to crate. If you catch your dog in the action, grab him and RUN - run outside, shoes or not. You wanna make it clear to him that eliminating is for outdoors only!
I'm iffy about striking a dog. I absolutely do not encourage it. Most of the time, it will just make your dog fearful and distrustful of you everytime you approach. He'll just go and poop/pee when you're not looking or you're not around. But I also remember that when a dog is mad at another (or a mother dog 'teaching' her pup a lesson), there is physical contact and a lot of intimidation. Again, I absolutely do NOT encourage hitting the dog. Try the positive reinforcement (i.e. the treats when he does something good) instead. You want a loyal, bonding, trusting relationship with your dog. Just remember that you are the master that can give out some really nice things. :D
Is this a puppy? Well you get a crate or wired chain cage, in the middle of the cage you put a piece of board in it. On that side where she sleeps, she will not pee where she sleeps. Before you put her down you take her outside, after she eats you take her out side, when you come home from work you take her outside. So that she understands after she eats or drinks water, she is going to go out side. Good idea get a string and hang bells from it. Tie it around the door knob, ring the bells a few times and say--her name and say let's go outside, Then hopefully she will ring the bells and let you know, I need to go outside. Puppies need a lot of training and patience, but after a few times she will get the hint if she wants to go out.
it is very important to be clear, all the time. Put it's nose in the "thing" (to make clear to the dog, why are you shouting) and rise your voice when the dog does not do it in the right place, and pet it, say good, gentlle words when it is in the right place. No need to hit or be agressive. Just tone of your voice is enough. It worked very fast for me. Dogs are smart! very smart!
Geeeesh! I can not believe all of the people wanting to hit dogs, and even worse, to rub their noses in it!!! I just can't belive people still do that..Did your mom spank you ,or rub your nose in it??? would you have ever trusted her again, or belived she loved you if she did? I can't imagine the parent that would do that to a toddler..All you will end up with is a traumatized pup who hides his poop, or eats it so you can't find it..
Routine is the key..
Feed 3 times per day at the same times daily..Put the bowl away after 10 minutes..
Take him outside after every feeding. He will go about 10-15 minutes after being fed, at his age. It will take awhile for him to learn/develop bladder control, but potty should be easier. Feed on a strict schedule, so that he isn't fed just before bedtime, as he will need to go shortly after being fed..Young pups should be fed and then walked 3 times per day, UNTIL THEY POOP...He will need more frequent outings for peeing...Walk him just before bedtime, to make certain he is empty..
Never scold for mistakes, but give lavish praise every time he goes outside, like he won the spelling bee.....Pups can only hold their pee for 1 hour, per month of age..So, its important to empty them just before bedtime..
Use the same word every time, such as 'do the doody', or whatever..
The most important thing is to watch him closely, and scoop him up and outside when he begins to act restless, turn circles, etc. soon he will whine and look at you when he needs to go.
Be patient...If your patience wears thin, talk to your mom, and ask her how long it took to potty train you...How many times she changed your diaper, and bedding....l
Don`t hit him...dogs will not poop or pee if they are confined to a small indoor area at first. Then gradually increase their space. They will then learn this is indoors and won`t poop/pee there.
