Dog Health Questions: Help with dog training?

i just got a puppy dachshund a couple days ago (she is about 3 months old)
for the first two days she listened really well and came to me when i called her name (jypsy)
but the weekend is over and i have school so i have to leave her with my dad and grandma
she doesnt even acknowledge me when i call her anymore
how do i make her respond to her name?
and also how do i potty train her? (i think when i scold her for urinating inside she thinks she is just supposed to hold it and not go ever even when i take her outside..)
she is also starting to like my dad and grandma better than me since she see's them alot more :l

Small Dog Training Tips

Recommended Answer:
You're probably talking about the porch potty. Porch Potty is a self-cleaning grass litter box for dogs. You can get your puppy one if you like or you could train your puppy to do it outside whichever works best for you.

I do think that whoever has more time should train the dog though. Potty training a puppy takes a lot of patience and time. To help the puppy learn more quickly, do it by routine and by repetition.

Since puppies have small bladders, they need to potty often. Some puppies need to do it every hour. Some puppies can hold it longer and need only to be taken outside every 4-6 hours. To help you or your dad or your grandma with potty training the puppy, keep in mind the following:

Puppies need to be taken outside after eating, after playing and after they wake up from sleep. These are the times that they will most likely need to potty. If you train your dog to potty on schedule, it will eventually learn that he is to do it outside and not inside the house. He will also learn to hold it longer. He will wait until he's taken outside to potty.

Be sure to give a command whenever the puppy is taken outside. Say "go pee" right before the puppy does it on the grass. Next praise him with a loud and happy tone of the voice and then reward him with a puppy biscuit.

Do this for two weeks without fail until your puppy understands where he is to potty.

Control Your Aggressive Dog With These 4 Dog Training Tips

• Scolding her for going inside is a very bad idea. You need to follow the directions for house training a puppy from the beginning, many sites on the internet will give you details and you as well as your dad and grandma should stick to the routine during the time you are in school.
  
  They are probably petting her a lot and she is bonding with them, but do not worry she will likely become an all around family dog.


• Well if your dad and grandma see the puppy more i think maybe 1 of them should be the trainer in the house. But remember it is a puppy so it'll take a while to learn. There is a lot of websites and videos online that show potty training a dog so go research. Just don't yell at the dog or she'll become scared of you, take her outside every day (or ur dad or grandma) and try to do it often so she'll get used to it. There is also a training pad thing i saw on tv, its a patch of grass but its like a pee pad (i haven't tried it but it sounds cool) My newer dog learned to go outside because my older dog did.
