What to do when your dog just isn't getting it.
If your dog is suddenly the difficulty or appears to be go bit infrequently, its time for a quick sample to be taken to the vet. Just use some tweezers and a dixie Cup or throw container any or take your dog to the vet and let them catch you. Often times bacterial infections can cause this problem which is common in puppies and dogs of small size because of their proximity to the ground.
If your dog has been cleared of infection, but you do not see the progress, the following steps must be taken.
1) Make sure that you keep track. If your puppy is accidents still its important to quantify the number of times that they are having accidents and when they occur. If there is a pattern to help you in your training proactive rather than reactive. Or perhaps that the puppy is not have accidents as much as you think.
2) Is the puppy with accidents when you are not around? If so then stop letting your puppy or dog roam. Use Baby gates, dividers, crates, attached to you, regardless of leashes will help keep your puppy to leave where you are. Watch also for these tell-tale signs, stimulation, sniffing, circling, jumping from a position towards the bottom and go somewhere new.
3) Reward the puppy or dog to go outside. It can be easy as friction belly or a small treat, but try to make it worth their time!
Do not punish the dog, they just don't get it yet
Now keep in mind, the small dogs take more time to learn this process and some races are more difficult than others. It probably has to do with the size of their bladder and the amount of control they have effectively. Over the years, I noticed some temperament of dogs get it more easily than others. If you have a dog who came from a Puppy Mill type situation, I would call a trainer of dog local to come and give you advice on your house training problems.
