How Can I House-break My Dog?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
I have tried everything. Currently, I am crate training but its no use for my dog. She is a mutt, but i believe she may be a poodle, havanese cross. I need help!!!!!!

Take the dog out first thing in the morning. If it goes give it a treat and a lot of praise. After you play with it and after it eats get it back outside. Also every couple hours just take it out. Then right before you put it to bed. Praise and treats really help. But no dog is hopeless. Good luck. All those extra trips now will pay off later.
put her outside that is what happen to my dog stay outside until he hated the house
Go back to basics and treat her as if she was a puppy.
Start by taking her outside to a place where you would like her to perform and then say “Go potty” or whatever phrase you choose to use. Let her circle around and sniff the ground and she will eventually go. When she does praise her and tell her what a good dog she is. Give her a little treat for doing what you asked her to do.
It’s no use putting her outside and expect her to go. She doesn’t know why she has been put out unless you teach her.
You must wait with her.
If you consistently do this, e.g. when she wakes up in the morning, after her meals, after playing with her, she will eventually get the message that outside is the place for her to relieve herself and she will then begin to let you know by giving a little bark.
You will need to put in some time with her and need a lot of patience but you will be rewarded with a clean dog in no time at all. Good luck.
have you had her all her life..? Are you the only to have trained her..? If the answer is yes, what kind of breed she should not matter..
Take her out side almost every hour. She will get the point when you do it that often and wait until she goes, to go back inside..
It depends on what kind of dog it is, is it small, med. or large? The best way to do it so that he KNOWS for sure that he is doing a good job is just to take him outside yourself on a leash every half hour or 45 min. depending on age (im assuming a puppy) and when he goes tell him “good boy” or “good girl” and praise them, right when you get in side give them a treat (cheese, dog biscuit, etc.) RIGHT BY THE DOOR!!! So that they know if i go by the door then i get a treat, but this just gets them to go over there, then when they do you take them outside, he’ll get a hang of it.
