Cheers for the tips Mal. I got to that point when Sam was at home with me and Tyne, but not when visitors are present. Will keep at it.
Here’s for all you dog lovers, how do I stop Molly from shitting/pissing in the house (other than not letting her in!)?
Hey Moto we investigated all of this when we first got Sam and re-looked at it again with Yoda. We persisted with Yoda and he is fine now. Puppies can’t control their bladders and bowels until up to 6 months old. So the trick is to take them outside at regular intervals as well as after eating or drinking or when they first wake up from sleeping. Take them to the same spot to go each time, make up a phrase such as ‘Go toilet’ and if they go make sure they are well praised. One book I read said that you should stay out there for 15 minutes with them if they didn’t go straight-away then take them back inside for 15 minutes and then outside again after 15 minutes again. We didn’t do this because it was very time consuming.
We used the above techniques with Yoda and they say that pugs are really hard to house-train but with persistence he came good. Just try and remember that it will take months (hopefully less because she is a labrador and easier to train).
Good luck!
BTW – She’s gorgeous. I honestly can’t imagine how she could be a terror.
Funny though
