Recommended Answer:
Once a day walk will not work and will be most difficult for your dogs to hold that long. Here is a plan for training...

Walk them out, give command to "go pee". It may take awhile. Each and every time they do what you are asking, give them a tiny reward.....a treat. The treat may be just a small nugget of their dry food. Reward, say good boy/girl happily, and repeat throughout the day, nite, and the next few days. Eventually, you can reward by hugs (without the treat) as they get the idea NOT to expel inside.

A doggie door will help emensely if it is workable for you, and you are in a home, or on ground level.

I wish you well, and lots of patience. But, consistency helps. Repeat, repeat....until they get the idea to ALWAYS expel outdoors.

Dog Training Collars Are Not All Alike

• Walk them about 10 times a day and you might see results. Also invest in a crate, one for each of them. Put them in it, take them out and praise them for going outside. Good luck.


• Once a day as in that's when they get to relieve themselves? If so, why don't you go to the bathroom once a day and see how you feel? Toy breeds have very tiny bladders and intestines, they need to be left out frequently.


• By saying you walk them once a day, is that the only time they get to go out to go potty?


• Take them to use the restroom about every 1 to 2 hours within the day. My dog was the same way. Make sure you clean the poo spots very well so that the dogs don't try to use the restroom in the same spots. If they return to the same spots try putting black pepper on the poo spot or purchasing Bittersweet Apple spray a Petsmart.


• Dogs have to go outside more than one time a day. They need to go outside several times. When they do go potty outside then praise them. Use a crate when you can't watch them to make sure they don't go in the house.


• What? Once a day? Get the book Dog Training For Dummies and read it! kjl


• Hi,
  
  You will need to train your 2 dogs to pee and poo after their meals, for example. If they do it inside the house, you will need to train them to do it in a designated place.
  
  My niece just has a puppy and initially he poo inside the house but once she started to walk him regularly, he has started to poo only when he is walking. Do not forget to praise your puppies when they do it so that they know that this behaviour is good.
  
  I must take my hat off you for having 2 puppies at the same time.
  
  Good luck and take care.

• Try crate training them. I find it's the best way to potty-train a dog.


• Crates are an excellent tool for training your puppy and making them more comfortable. I have a 2-year-old miniature Dachshund named Flash: I started Flash out in a wire crate but he would poop in it. When I switched to plastic, he became more comfortable in it. Some toys or a stuffed animal to snuggle with will also make him/her feel more comfortable.
