My dog poops in my car EVERY TIME I take her in there.?
This has been happening for about a month now. When I first got her, she peed in my car, and I understood that she was probably scared, so I saw it as nothing. Well, now she knows me, so I'm baffled at the fact that she poops EVERY TIME and I mean every time we're in the car. I usually take her for car rides when we're headed to the dog park for her to get some exercise. For example, today I took her out her crate to go potty and she did. I thought that she wouldn't need to poop because she had, already in the morning and wasn't showing signs of having to potty again. We got in the car and everything was going fine. Then about 5-10 minutes into the car ride she squats and poops in the car. I made it very clear to her that this is not acceptable behavior, but I don't think it got through to her. So, I had to turn around and head back home to clean up the mess in my car and my dog. I'm not sure why she chooses to poop in my car. Maybe she thinks I'm taking her back? Maybe she's too excited? Maybe she knows that if she poops in the car, I'll take her back home.
How can I stop my puppy from urinating in her crate?
As you have learned puppies will potty and then lay in it. If you aren't taking your puppy out every hour during the night then he/she needs to have a place to potty in the crate and not have to lay in it. Here is some tips on potty training. You will want to crate train him. When there is no one available to constantly watch him, you will want to put him in his crate. Now, he can't be expected to hold his potty overnight or while you are at work one day so you need to make sure that they crate is large enough for a potty pad and an old towel or blanket. That way when he does have to potty he won't have to lay in it all day. A lot of people might disagree with this and say that the crate should only be large enough for the dog to stand up and turn around and lay down. This is not the case. Once it again, it isn't realistic for us to expect a little puppy to hold their potty for that long. If the dog is loose in the house and does have an accident all that you should do is clean it up and go on with life. Do not punish the dog. It is your responsibility to not let the dog have an accident in the house. Make sure you are using an enzymatic cleaner like Nature's Miracle to remove the enzymes from their potty, otherwise they will smell it and return to that spot. When you take the dog to go outside (which should be 15 minutes after eating, sleeping, playing, or drinking) go with the dog. If you are just letting them outside there will be no way for you to tell if they have went to the bathroom or not and being a puppy they will lose focus of the task at hand. In other words, they will get outside and chase leaves, play in the dirt, see squirrels, etc. and then get back inside and potty. After they have gone to the bathroom outside, in the most exciting voice you can muster, praise them. I always try to remember to grab a treat before I go out, that way they can be rewarded. Make sure it is a soft, bite-sized treat, that way when you give it to them they don't forget what they are being rewarded for while they are eating it. I hope this helps. Be patient, potty training can be difficult!
My dog poops and pees in her crate every day, and lays in it. how to stop this?!?
This is a dog and not a young puppy? The point of the crate is to use your dog's natural desire to stay clean. If your dog does not have this desire or if your dog cannot stay clean then a crate will not work. The potty breaks seem too short if she was taken out twice between 7 and 7:30. Did she actually go or was she rushed back inside? Some dogs go several times before they are done. I would try walking her at 6 in the morning until 7 and see if that long walk gets her to go thoroughly and completely and then take her out again right before leaving at 7:30. I would then take her out for at least a half hour before leaving at 10:30 and see if this makes a difference. You want to see what the actual problem is. Does she have diarrhea? If so, no dog can hold that and you need to address that problem separately. Does she dislike the crate? Some dogs become so anxious in crates that the crate itself becomes the problem. If you can set up a camera to watch her, it may help you solve the problem faster. You also want to find out if there are any physical problems. You might try placing her into a small room with a babygate and see if that makes any positive change.
Dog Training: How do I stop my adopted stray from peeing in the house?
There are excellent resources about crate training online, so I won't rewrite them, but the basic principles are:A healthy and secure dog whose physical and emotional needs are being met will not voluntarily urinate or defecate in his own space if he is confined to that space.Dogs have a natural den instinct and a den can be synthesized by the use of a crate object of suitable size and configuration.So, crate training is a process by which you first accommodate your dog to the concept of spending some time in a crate, then confine him to his crate for increasing periods of time until he's built up the experience of not going to the bathroom in the house for however long.I've used the kind of crates that are marketed as airline approved, because in these cases I can be sure that it's going to be totally safe for the dog, well ventilated and secured. Also, it's pretty important to get a crate that's exactly the right size: too small is obviously cruel, and too large means the dog will just choose a corner to use as his bathroom, then track it around the rest of the place. The normal advice is that a dog should just be able to stand up inside the crate, turn around and sit back down. My dog is 23 kg (50 lbs) and he uses the Atlas 60.In the initial socialization of dog and crate, it's imperative to make the crate a fun and rewarding activity. When my dog was a puppy, I fed him inside his crate, so he learned pretty quickly that the crate was a cool and fun place where good things happen. I also always used to give him treats and lots of praise for going in the crate voluntarily. Now his bed is in the crate and he can walk around the apartment at his leisure when I'm home, but periodically goes back there to chill because he likes it.Other things to consider:Make sure your dog is getting plenty of exercise and opportunities to go to the bathroom outside.Have him checked by a vet to make sure there's no physical problem with bladder control.If he's really urinating to mark his territory, the crate training should help because the crate will be his territory and he won't really see other places as his.If he's got separation anxiety or is afraid of the cat, these are things that will have to be worked out in another way.
Why does my Chihuahua pee and poop in her crate?
You keep them outside until the have peed and pooped. They normally poop shortly after eating so when she has finished eating out you go. Out you stay until she has been whether it be 5 minutes or an hour. Walking usually stimulates them to go. You need to monitor when she normally goes. This will help you know when she needs to stay out until she has gone. No it's not expecting too much of her at this age. I have 4 Chihuahua's, have had 5 in total. All were housebroken within a month using the crate method. 3 of my 5 are male. Males are much harder to break than females. Females have taken me around 2 weeks or so to housebreak. It's up to you to be consistent. If you let her get into the Habit of going him her crate however much you clean up she may well always do it. It's up to you not to let habits form. I normally take my Chi pups out every hour when they are awake to start with. Also right after eating, playing or sleeping. It's very hard work the first few weeks until you have them trained, but it's in your best interest. Those who say Chi's are impossible to housebreak either have never owned one themselves or have never done it right. It's all in your hands
How do I stop my puppy from peeing under his blanket in his crate?
Take the blanket out of his crate. House breaking a puppy has what might be called rules. If you do things that are incompatible with your puppy learning then you are essentially sabotaging the whole process. There are many decent books out there that you can reference for this.Dog training can be a breeze or a complete nightmare which goes on forever.

I’ve been trying to catch him in the act and quickly bring him out, but it doesn’t seem to be working at all.Puppies have small, weak bladders. They havent mastered muscle control. Its nothing to do with intelligence or disobedience, they are just very young animals. They need to be taken out every single time they: eat, drink, play (10 minutes playing usually gets the bowel/bladder working), sleep, feel excited, feel scared, feel unsure, sit around doing nothing, are petted or given attention. EVERYTHING on earth makes their bowel and bladder go, when theyre that young.
