my pommies peeing in the house help me?


Answers:
crate train crate train crate train

also have a vet check the dog for medical problems like bladder infection

if you are training the dog correctly and consitantly it should take less than 1 month assuming the dog is between 3 and 6 months of age. (younger is too young and older may take longer to retrain)

crate over night - let out to pee first thing - you MUST go out with the dog and offer it a soft treat reward INSTANTLY so it knows the reward is for peeing outside
then in for breakfast and out to run and poop - again you MUST go out too with the treats

the key is to always offer an immediate reward
when inside keep the dog on a leash so you can always see it and if not then put in the crate - NEVER use the crate for punishment
Toy breeds are almost always difficult to housebreak. It is so easy for them to sneak behind a chair or under a small table, and it takes only a few seconds for the deed to be done. The results can be hard to see. When you don't see it, you don't correct it -- and so the bad habit becomes established. If you hope to housebreak a toy breed, consistent crate training is mandatory. Pomeranians should not be loosed in the house for many months, until their small internal organs become strong enough for reliable control.
