How Do I Properly House-Train My Daschund?
I recently bought a 7 month old male Daschund, Jasper, from a reputable breeder, Lindenwood Kennels. She planned to keep him and show him, but she had a double hip-replacement surgery, and was unable to do so. Because of her ailment before the surgery, properly house-training training him was out of the question. She had a lovely bungalow country home with a large, fenced yard, and she would turn the dogs out for 15 minutes, around 12 times a day. Now he’s living with me and my family (me, 16, my parents and my sister, 18) and our current dog, a 5 year old red Dauschund female named Clementine, from the same breeder. But we live in Toronto, and me and my sister go to school and my parents work. Clementine was previously walked three times a day, and in good weather, let out into our backyard. Jasper has no bladder control. We walk him, he pees, we bring him back to the house, he pees again, in the house. How can we train him so that he stops peeing in the house? Clementine picked it up immediately when we got her, but with Jasper, its been a tough journey. The two get along wonderfully, and Jasper is helping Clementine lose some weight. But the peeing is a BIG problem.

Anna Walker answers:
Dachshund — you are talking about a dachshund.
First, is this dachsie neutered? Unless he has a urinary tract infection – and I assume you have had the vet rule this out – he is marking, not lacking bladder control. Neuter if he isn’t, that will help.
You need to neutralize the odor everywhere he has piddled, not just clean, get a pet urine neutralizer (pet store, supermarket, etc.) and be sure to neutralize everywhere he has piddled or he will go back there and mark again.
Watch him – don’t give him free reign in the house, crate him when you can’t watch him.
Alternative, is to put a belly band on him – it velcros round his middle, has a pad to catch the pee. He won’t like it, but it won’t hurt him and it saves the mess.
1. Neuter, if he isn’t already
2. Neutralize all previous piddle areas
3. Watch or crate
4. Belly band.
I have 6 dachshunds and foster more (10 at the moment) – males who come in will try to mark their territory, especially if they are not neutered and there are females. Takes time to sort it out, so don’t give him free reign of your house without a belly band.

FAVORITE WAY TO HOUSE TRAIN YOUR NEW PUPPY?
MY dog had pups. i kept one and he’s 7 weeks. usually i just take them outside every 45 minutes and they get the idea before they’re 3 months, depending on how smart they are. well i’m in school all day and so i cant do this. my mom is home, but she’s to busy doing stuff and taking care of other pets to take him out that often. and no she’s not lazy, its just that we have 3 horses, a pig, a sheep, 8 other dogs, 3 cats, 2 iguanas, and a crapload of chickens that are pitbull pup is starting to chase so we have to watch her close. if yal have a good effective way of potty training a puppy that’s this young, please let me know because i just want to try and speed up the process. and no “crate training”, our other dog‘s try and break in the cage when we lock one up.
and he newspaper thing wont work. he’s gonna be around 60 pounds full grown, think about it, that’ll be a big mess.

Anna Walker answers:
Well the fastest way to train a dog is to be there all the time reinforcing their good behavior with appraisal. I would suggest putting the dog in a secure area outside where you would generally have they puppy defecate. This way they at least get the idea that they are supposed to go outside. And on the days you are there you can take the pup out to the area they defecated before and hopefully they will smell their defecation and know thats what they are supposed to do.

Best Way to Train Big Dog to Stay in a room?
My dog is a shepard/pitbull mutt, 7 yrs old. Now I have a child, who’s 2. As he gets older I am worried about him climbing out of his bed and coming into our room, only to awaken our dog who may be aggressive toward him (he sleeps at the foot of our bed). My dog is fairly well behaved but recently he has shown flashes of aggression toward my son and my wife on occassion. Its usually when we try to keep him away from the “pack”. We often keep him behind a gate in the back room of the house, so my son can run around the house during the day. Dog hates it. When my son is gone or sleeping, he’s free to roam as usaul. However, my dog is strong and quick, and easily escapes through the gate. he’s become increasingly defiant. Question 1: how do I keep him from approaching the gate? Scat mat? indoor fence? remote shock collar to punish his escape attempts? Q2: As far as the nightime concern, should I force him to sleep in the back room? Or should I leave him in our room, but in a large crate?

Anna Walker answers:
Instead of trying to keep your dog away from the “pack”, why not introduce him to the new member of the “pack”?
Shepards and Pitts are both good with kids. Sure, both will need to be supervised, but they will both need to learn respect for each other.
This “training” should have started 2 years ago when your son was born.

Lisa asks…
If some one will give me a way to train my dog, it’s an automatic 10 points for best answer!?
Okay so I got a golden retriever puppy on saturday he is 7 weeks old.
The only problem that is going to be huge to train him is that:
My parents are at work during the day.
me and my brother are at school during the day
my grandma is coming to my house in august!
and my grandpa is here but he is blind…
So how am I going to be able to potty train him?
HELP! ![]()
Thanks <3

Anna Walker answers:
First, talk to your family about how you’re going to train him so the training will be consistent. If one person lets him pee inside and another person doesn’t, the puppy won’t be trained the way you want it to be.
Take it outside a few times each day, and if he pees or poops, reward him with a small puppy-friendly treat and give him a hug. Alternatively, be very stern when he pees inside by saying “No” forcefully and being unaffectionate.
When there is nobody home, you might consider keeping him in a crate or gated-off area with some newspaper bedded down, but only for 2 hour intervals (so maybe ask your grandfather to let it out once in a while to play).

Sharon asks…
Dog is Pissing all over the place? Any suggestions?
We adopted a 7 month old dog from a rescue over a month ago. The dog was partially house trained. We take him out, 6 times a day and the dog will go to the bathroom each time. He can make it over night, in his crate or in our room, when he is sleeping, without having to go, and he has gone 4-5 hours once or twice in his crate when we were out. The issue is we can take him out, tell him to potty, he will pee, we will reinforce this behavior. We take him in and anywhere from 5-10 minutes, he is peeing in the house, but almost peeing as he is walking or moving around. It occurs in a way where we cannot see him doing it. Is this normal? How can we get him out of this habit?

Anna Walker answers:
We have a pitbull that we got from a rescue when he was 7 months old. He did the same thing and we would find little trails all over the house. I think it was from nervousness of new people and surroundings. He stopped doing it after a couple months. He just turned a year in June and we haven’t had any problems since.
It’s hard to tell with adopted dogs. You never really know their full background and history.
