top 10 luxury ladies watches image
Leila
I recently adopted a older schnauzer mix puppy, he is around 5 or 6 months old and not neutered which i plan on taking care of that in the next week or so. The lady I adopted him from was an apartment manager and she was given him from one of her residents who found him on the streets.
The problem i am having with my sweet boy is that i am very consistent in taking him out VERY often because i live in an apartment and he had many accidents at first but now it has leveled out. I wake up in the morning, take him out he pees and comes up and almost immediately goes and poops inside! It is driving me crazy cause i am trying to stay on top of this but he does this almost every day.I have found a temporary solution which is take him out and then like 20 mins later take him out again. I just dont want him in to get in the habit of the luxury of going out twice back to back.
I just dont know what to do, he definitly feels guilty when he does and I watch him like a hawk and confine him to the room im in only but it somehow still happens. I praise him so much when he goes potty outside and use the words "potty" and "outside" so he will hopefully learn those with the action.when he ihas accidents i rush him outside to go potty but it doesn't do any good because he already took care of that in my apartment!
Any help please, I know it takes time but I cant help but feel my techniques arent working for him.

The dog has too much freedom while in doors, and not enough time out doors. Like most other behavioral problems in the home, it stems from the fact that dogs who get alot of alone time in the house who aren't trained yet tend to develop bad habits, whether it's peeing and pooping on the carpet or chewing the wrong things. People tend to think dogs should have free run of the house as soon as they can move under their own power. They take it for granted that when left un-supervised, an un-trained or partially-trained dog will instinctively have the same perception of right vs. wrong as the owner and will act accordingly. People who make dogs earn freedom by showing they completely understand and are willing to obey the rules of the house typically don't deal with these sorts of problems.
The first and last outtings of the day should be longer walks. For everything else in between, go to the area where you let the dog go and pace back and fourth for 10-15 minutes rather than stepping outside, standing in one spot, then immediately going back in. If this dog has developed a marking habit, there's an excellent chance his instincts won't let him empty his bladder all in one place and the juices don't really start flowing until he's walked for a bit. Dogs always go after sleeping, eating, and physical exertion or excitement. If you take the dog out every 3 hours, do it every 2. If you do it every two, do it every hour. If you do it every hour, do it every half hour. If you're into a set schedule with a specific number of times per day, do that when the dog is fully trained. But during the training phase, I believe in taking the dog out for bathroom runs as often as possible. Even if it means you were just out 20 mintues ago and you need to go again. The more often he goes out, the stronger the habit of only going outside becomes and the more faith he develops that if he holds it you'll always give him a chance to go out.
Second, a dog who doesn't understand the rules yet tends to develop bad habits when it has too much un-supervised free time. Too many opportunities to make decisions for themselves without the proper training. Example: If a dog almost immediately goes when returning in doors, my first question is always, why are you un-clipping the leash and granting it enough latitude to do that? Leave the leash on and either keep a grip on the other end or clip it to your belt loop. As soon as you see the dog start to circle and sniff or do anything else indicating an intent to soil the floor scoop it up and drag it back outside. I bet they will start to figure out what you want relatively quickly.
This dog should be by your side or crated 100% of the time it is in the house. Until it is housebroken there should not be any instance when it is outside of a crate and it's not sitting right next to you.
