Dog Health Questions: Dog training question?

i have a chi weenie, female about 4 months old. i have her housebroken for the most part except she wakes up like around 3 am or so and goes to potty in the house. i don't crate her never have any of our dogs and they've all done just fine. she sleeps with me, but our other dogs have always woke us in the morning to go outside once they were housebroke. she however, will not. is there something i can do to get her to start waking me in the mornings. she goes to the door when she wants out the rest of the day its just the morning thing. and also, how do you get them to stop barking at other dogs. when i walk her if she sees another dog out she wont use the bathroom she just constantly barks. she was raised around other dogs so why does she bark at any new ones. i am baffled here never had this kind of dog before and never had these issues with our other dogs (pekengnese and shitzu).

Recommended Answer:
Both of the breeds in your dog are barkers. Sorry:( But don't stand still and let her just bark, walk away and say "NO Barking!" or make a "sssst" sound and walk away. Be consistent and eventually, maybe she'll catch on. About the night time thing. I know it stinks but you may need to set an alarm for 3am and take her out. Obviously she's not ready to hold it all night. Then gradually extend the alarm/night time to 3:15am, then to 3:30am, then on and on till she's able to make it all night. Good Luck! I've never seen a chiweenie...I bet she's cute:)

Effective Communication in Dog Training

• Maybe she is telling you in the middle of the night. But maybe you just can't hear her. Since she's so little, she can't hold her bladder all night long. You'll just have to get up in the middle of the night, assume she has to go, and take her out.
  
  When you see another dog on a walk immediately call your dog's name then give her a treat. If she knows sit, that's even better. When a dog walks by make her look at you and make her sit. Once she has sat and is looking at you, give her a treat then continue on your way. Once she gets used to that, if a dog walks towards you your dog should automatically look at you and sit for a treat.


• well she is just on guard when she spots another dog . she maybe fine with other dogs that u have and raised her around but she may not like other dogs or such i dunno ask her see what she tells u lol. im joking


• Crate train her! She won't go in her own bed, now would she? And is she fixed? Because if she isn't, she is more likely to be territorial... But anyway, if she starts barking clap you hands and yell no or slap the wall. You are also letting her be dominant by letting her sleep in your bed. Kick her out if she misbehaves!
