My dog does something similar. When she does go in the house, there is one spot that she goes at and nowhere else. I’ve been told to clean the spot very well, becuase if dogs smell where they have went in the past they will contiune to go in the same spot. Good Luck! mhk2358
what you do is you take him out and whenever he goes to the bathroom outside, you say good boy and good things and then he thinks if i go outside and do my buisness, i will get complimented daftpunkowns
have you tried puppy pads in her favorite pee spots? Or try keeping a close eye on her and when she slips upstairs for a bathroom break, take a spray bottle full of water and mist her…dogs REALLY dislike this, its an alternative to spanking with a newspaper. JUNIPER
This isn’t a puppy problem - it’s a people problem. You arent supervising your dog correctly, so she’s going where she shouldn’t.
If she doesn’t go when you let her out, then let her out again in 30 minutes. And keep doing this ALL day.
As far as her going in this spot - don’t allow her access to it. Baby gate the hallway. Baby gate the stairs. Watch her better. BYB’s are impotent
If your dog won’t go to the bathroom outside,then when you bring him in, put him in a cage. Wait 30 minutes and take him out again. Repeat this as often as necessary until he goes.
Praise him when he uses the bathroom outside. John C
First off, confine her when you can’t supervise. I can’t stress enough the importance of this. For potty training, use a crate that is only big enough for her/him to comfortably stand, lie, and turn around in. He should not be able to potty in one end and lie down in the other. Make sure he’s not confined for too long — generally the age in months plus one hours (so 5 hours for a 4 month old pup). If you have to be gone longer, use an exercise pen with his open crate inside for sleeping, a potty pad for relieving himself, and some toys.
Every time you take him out of his crate take him outside. He should be on a leash. You should go through the same door every time. Take him to where you want him to potty and start repeating his potty command until he finishes. Then treat him and let him play or go for a walk.
Put food and water on a schedule. Give 20 minutes to eat and then pick food up until next scheduled meal. Give water every hour (or when he’s obviously thirsty.) By scheduling meals and water, you are able to predict when he will need to relieve himself. Put him on leash and take him out.
Watch for behaviors that tell you he needs to go out: circling, squatting, sniffing, crouching, ….
I have clients who tell me their puppies won’t go while they are outside, only to come inside and make a mess on the floor! If you find this to be a problem, give him a reasonable amount of time outside and if he doesn’t go confine him for 15 minutes when you come back inside. At the end of that time, take him back out. Repeat this process until he goes. By doing this, you are teaching him that he will earn his freedom by pottying where it’s appropriate.
Lastly, basic obedience training really can help. It clarifies leadership for your dog (and sometimes for the owners as well

First she needs better supervision and should not be alone at this age. She could eat or chew any number of bad things at this age. She needs a doggie area to chill with beds, toys and her stuff. Also if she has pent up energy and runs around, she is maybe not getting enough walks. I think 20 minutes in the morning and 20 night kept my guy happy, but we also played ball in the back yard or in the kitchen.
The plan: The minute she wakes up take her outside and make her go outside. When she is done say good potty and give a treat. Each time she does any business in the right spot she gets a cheer. I said “yeah peepee” for the first few months I had my dog.
You really can’t scold her for going in the house, she doesn’t get it and you haven’t given good instruction. My dog at 16 months pees on comand. Believe me that is nice when you are leaving for work or going to bed at night.
Now for the areas where she goes like hallways, empty rooms, dining room and other odd ball areas, you need to make sure those areas are clean and free of any mistake smells. There are enzyme cleaners for that. The other thing you need to do is sprinkle a few suprize treats in these areas. Dogs do not poop where they eat, at least that is what my trainer said.
Mistakes will happen, but I think consistency with watching her and praising her for good behavior. Good treats are those jerky chicken strips cut or pulled apart into dime sized pieces worked great. N F
