instead he holds himself till we come in the house and usses it in the house and he always goes to the bathroom in the cage and everywher PLEASE HELP I NEED MY DOG TRAINED!!!! i love him to death but if he doesnt get trained he gotta go.
Recommended Answer:
Don't come in from outside until he goes. I'm sure you'll be out there waiting a long time the first couple of days, but you've let him get into the habit of going in the house and now have to break him of that.
If he absolutely won't go outside, when you bring him in, keep him teethered to you (put his leash on and tie it to your belt loop). He will have to go everywhere with you and will then not have the opportunity to mess in the house.
Take him out every 20 minutes until he goes. You'll have to do this for a least a week solid.

Know The Basics Of Dog Trainings
- Have you thought about trying to get a dog trainer to help, they are probably the best people to ask. But the way we solved our dog doing that was by shouting at him every time he did, before shoving him outside. When he went to the toilet outside we rewarded him.
- Keep your dog on a schedule and limit his water intake until you get him potty trained. Of couse, put the water down and let him drink his fill, but then take it up. Same goes for his food. You can use pee pee pads if he is an inside dog along with your daily walks. Pads are treated with a substance that atracks them to go there. Pads are better than newspapers, which are messy and fall apart. Besides, they could mistake the one you haven't read yet, lying on the living room floor as a place to go and etc. Try to catch them in the act and quickly take them outside if you can. (again if they are inside dogs, take them to pad)taking them to the same spot each time is imperitive. Give them a reward ie: sm. treat, verbal praise, petting and loving, etc. But, wait until they are through..LOL! They usually will let you know they need to go though they're body language. Circling, smelling, raising the tail, squatting or hiking, etc. You can also make a noise, blow a whistle, throw an empty coke can or bottle with some rocks or marbles in it, it makes a loud shaking noise...then promptly take them to where you want them to go. Remember...don't throw the can AT them just close by or better yet, just shake it. You can also use a spray bottle with just water in it or mix it with just a little bit of vinegar and mostly water. Hang it on your pants, leave one in each room and make a noise and say, EHEH, you go over here, etc. I call it the grandmother noise! The word "no" becomes common place and they learn to ignore it. They will react to your body language and the sound of you voice just fine. Well, hope this has answered your question...sorry if I rambled. Good luck!!
- Take some of the urine (like on a towel or newspaper) or buy "wee wee pads" and put them outside where you want your dog to go. It will take patience, but if he smells his scent outside he will be more likely to go out there. Wait outside until he goes, and don't let him back in until he does so. When he finally goes PRAISE him a ton. He'll get it. Also, buy some urine scent remover and clean his cage really well, so that he doesn't associate the cage with peeing.
- For starters feed him in his crate, and that should stop him from going in his crate. Then take him outside every 1/2 hour and say the words "GO POTTY", then when he does throw him a party, get excited, "GOOD BOY" "GOOD POTTY", then give him a treat. With in a few days if you are consistent with this he will learn that its a good thing to go outside.
If he makes a mess in the house don't rub his nose in it, or beat him, or yell at him (would you do that to a child?) Look at the mess and in a stern, disappointed voice say bad, bad, bad, then put the dog outside and clean up the mess. Don't let him see you clean it up.
Housebreaking is not a fun, easy, or enjoyable time for anyone. It takes time, energy, being consistent, and persistent.
I hope this has helped. Good luck. - You didn't say how old he was. If he is under 10 weeks then he will not have bladder control. But this is the cure, tryed & tested a hundred times over.
First of all, next time he wee's, place some newspaper over it to soak it up. Lots of wee's soaked up with the same bit would be better. Also collect one of his poo's.
Take the piece of news paper & the poo outside & put them on the ground where you would like him to go.Put some bricks on the corners of the paper to stop it blowing away. Put the poo nearby.
Feed him in his cage as they don't like to go toilet where they eat.
( Not always the case with really bad cases though! ) but do it anyway. Place the cage on a table or something similar the higher the better. Keep it up there all the time. Dogs don't like to go toilet while high up in the air. It's a ground thing! From now on you must take him outside near the paper & stay with him without saying a word with your arms folded. Once outside starts to smell like a toilet area & inside doesn't he should start to improve quiet quickly. - I'm sorry to say but you have to be patient. Yorkies are very hard to house train. It can take a year. I have a 2 yr old and it took him a yr to know to go outside. All I can say is when you get up take him out as your walking to the door continue to say Need to go outside. Once your outside continue to say go potty. If he doesn't go and bring him in and take him out in again in 10 min. Is his cage a big one, If so that isn't helping you. You can get one just big enough for him to move in. They come with a divider and to start with only give him enough room to lay in. After awhile, you can move it back. If he pees move it back. He'll learn not to potty where he sleeps. But I can't stress enough that it takes time to train a yorkie. You must be patient. You don't need to get rid of him you should have read up on the breed first.
- For comprehensive advice on toilet training, go here http://www.dogchatforum.com/forums/index… and read through the thread for the housetraining guide (scroll to the bottom, it's the 4th post up). It is written by a dog trainer and animal behaviourist. I have used her methods successfully to housetrain a 3 and a 12 year old dog as have many people I know. You need to really concentrate and dedicate a few days to doing it, they get the hang of it.
