Help I can't get my 5 mth soft coated wheaton terrior to stop going to the bathroom in the house.?

we are crate training her. As soon as she's let out of the crate we let her outside.She knows she should'nt be going in the house but does anyway!

How do you know she "knows?" She is still very young and probably confused. Here are some pointers on potty training. Hope they help.

First off, confine him when you can't supervise. I can't stress enough the importance of this. For potty training, use a crate that is only big enough for her/him to comfortably stand, lie, and turn around in. He should not be able to potty in one end and lie down in the other. Make sure he's not confined for too long -- generally the age in months plus one hours (so 5 hours for a 4 month old pup).

Every time you take him out of his crate take him outside. He should be on a leash. You should go through the same door every time. Take him to where you want him to potty and start repeating his potty command until he finishes. Then treat him and let him play or go for a walk.

Put food and water on a schedule. Give 20 minutes to eat and then pick food up until next scheduled meal. Give water every hour (or when he's obviously thirsty.) By scheduling meals and water, you are able to predict when he will need to relieve himself. Put him on leash and take him out.

Watch for behaviors that tell you he needs to go out: circling, squatting, sniffing,crouching, ....
I have clients who tell me their puppies won't go while they are outside, only to come inside and make a mess on the floor! If you find this to be a problem, give him a reasonable amount of time outside and if he doesn't go confine him for 15 minutes when you come back inside. At the end of that time, take him back out. Repeat this process until he goes. By doing this, you are teaching him that he will earn his freedom by pottying where it's appropriate.

Lastly, basic obedience training really can help. It clarifies leadership for your dog (and sometimes for the owners as well )

What are dog crates for?

A modern den can be a fiberglass or wire crate ideal for keeping in any room of the house. It needs to be big enough for the dog to be able to lie down in a comfortable position. If you have dogs that belong to the larger breeds and you donÂ’t want to purchase lots of crates, then you may opt to buy an adult size crate and make partitions to fit its current size.

It is important for crates to be able to blend well with existing house furniture. Also, they need to be easy to put together with quality construction and engineering. It should not look like a dog crate but part of the house furniture.

A wire dog crate is best to use at home while a soft side dog crate is ideal when you want to take your dog with you when you travel or youÂ’re on a vacation or simply strolling around, although you can also use it at home too. Portable dog crates and soft dog crates are perfect for todayÂ’s hurried lifestyle.

If you are looking for a lightweight and practical alternative to a wire dog crate, then you may opt for portable dog crates. These are light and airy crates that provide good visibility and ventilation for the dog.

Soft dog crates are not only attractive but also durable. Also known as tent dog crates, soft and portable dog crates are easy to set up and transport from one place to another. They are excellent for dog shows with a dense weave mesh that allows the dog to see outside while providing good ventilation and comfort. Midwest portable dog travel crates provide quality, durability, and ease of travel. They are also easy to set up.

So if you are looking for a cost effective, portable alternative to wire crates, look no further since there are dog crates available on the market that suit your needs, lifestyle, and budget.
