7 Important Dog Training Tips For You

is it a dauschound? my sisters dog did the same thing and he had to be re-trained.
Considering a Dog Training Career
- Probably submissive peeing.
STOP ABUSING YOUR PUPPY.
Smacking a dog destroys any trust this puppy may have had in you.
Shoving its nose in it is unhygienic and incredibly confusing for the dog.
THis dog is probably fearful of you and you need to build trust. This means no abusing. No HITTING. AT ALL.
You need to build its confidence.
A schedule is needed. Let out every hour. It will soon learn its pee schedule and always praise for going outdoors. If you catch your dog in the act, simply say a short sharp 'Ah ah!' and take her into the garden immediately.Basicly, this dog needs to know YOU are a fair, consistent leader and in control. This includes walks, this dog should not walk ahead of you on walks either. She just needs to know what you expect from her. you need to be clear.
When i say stop abusing your dog, it may sound harsh but if a child wets the bed you dont smack it and shove its face in it do you? That would be considered abuse. Am i right? - i think it's that your dog has a broken leg, i'm not sure, ask a vet about that
- NEVER HIT YOUR DOG. it will start aggression. take her out 30 minutes after feeding her. When she does have an accident. tell her no and but her out side or take her for a walk. try putting one of her poohs out side in your back yard and take her there when she goes for walks so she will know she should do it out side.She will get used to it after awhile.
- I read somewhere that a puppy gets great pleasure out of watching it's master clean up the pee & poop. The article recommended using this to our advantage by letting the dog see you pick & clean up the messes when the dog does pee or poop outside. Likewise if the dog messes inside, remove the dog before cleaning up. Maybe your dog is amused by watching you freak out when it messes up.
- Telling her off, smacking her, pushing her nose in it solves absolutely nothing- except maybe making you feel better being able to get your anger over the incidents out on your dog. She is not learning anything by that. And the goal is to have her learn correct behavior, right?
Have you looked into the possibility of her having a urinary tract infection? If that's not the case, please be patient. This has been just 1 day of recent inappropriate elimination, according to your question. Yes, you do want to make sure she doesn't get into the habit of going in the house. But keep reinforcing- praise, treats, affection when she does do her business outside. Dogs do not do things like urinate/defecate in the house with the purpose in mind of defiance, plotting to blatantly disobey or spite their owners. She either has an physical incontinence issue that has to be looked into, or she needs to get more reinforcement for good behavior and immediate redirection (not a smack) for inappropriate behavior (say No! and take her outside, where you praise her for going.)
Dogs can pick up on their owner's stress. Your own stress over her accidents & the upcoming baby can be adding to her anxiety and causing more accidents on her part. Make sure you clean up any urine/poop spots in the house with an enzymatic cleaner made especially for that.. Even if you've cleaned the spots with regular cleaners, dogs can still smell the spots & will tend to go in the same accident areas again.
Just as with babies, dogs' training is not always all progress. Sometimes everything seems to be going along well and then there are a few weeks where it looks like you're going backwards. Be patient, & good luck. - Maybe she has a weak bladder? My dog was doing the same thing, then I bought some pills for bladder control and they seemed to help. And try to always put her out about 20 minutes after she drinks water.
