HOUSE TRAIN

[artic 595]

OK MEN AND WOMEN.

I SOLD MY COTTAGE AND IM IN RENTED ACCOMADATION FOR THE NEXT 3 MONTHS TILL MY NEW COTTAGE HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

NOW MY 8 MONTH OLD PUP DOES HIS BUISNESS IN THE HALL WAY.I FIND THIS ONLY WHEN WE GET UP IN THE MORNING AT 6AM.

THROUGHOUT THE DAY HE WILL LET US KNOW WHEN HE WANTS TO GO OUT INTO THE GARDEN.

HE IS OUT EVERYDAY ON WALKS AND SHORT RUNS AND IS FINE.

THE PROBLEM IS ONLY IN THE MORNING WHEN WE GET UP AND HE HAS DONE HIS BUISNESS IN THE HALL WAY.

I'VE EVEN GOT UP AT 5AM, AND HE HAS ALREADY DONE IT. HE HAS HIS LAST WALK AT NIGHT BEFORE WE GO TO BED AT AROUND 10PM.

 

IS THERE ANTHING I CAN DO TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING?

THIS IS THE 1ST TIME IVE HAD TO KEEP A DOG INSIDE THE HOUSE.

THE URINATING IS NOT THE PROBLEM! ITS THE OTHER IM CONCERNED ABOUT. I FIND 1 OR 2 STOOLS EACH MORNING IN HALLWAY. WHAT CAN I DO TO BREAK HIM INTO THE HABIT OF NOT DOING THIS.

YES IM AWARE HE IS ONLY A PUP STILL AT 8 MONTHS.

NEWSPAPERS ARE DOWN BY THE BACK DOOR LEADING TO THE GARDEN, SOMETIMES HES ON TARGET, BUT MOST OF THE TIME NOT.

what do you feed him on, some of the cheaper dry foods contain a lot of cheap fillers and not that much meat and can make a dog bloated...if feed iams or good quaility greyhound foods the dog needs less at a feeding and should have smaller stools and not go so often... lurcher types tend to have smaller stomach capacity and s###t a lot more often than some other breeds .. prehaps small meals spread out a bit more often might do the trick jmo cheers

i used to feed mine at 7-7.30 but and he done the same, i now feed him at 6 instead and it works, he has more time to get it through his system before you go to bed.

Since becoming a convert to Indoor Kennels / Cages / 'Crates', as the Yanks call them, I really can't see why people still get so excited about house training Dogs.

 

It's all been covered, on this forum, before. Run a Search. Dig it out. Look at Google. Whatever. Buy the bugger a little space of it's own. Put ye feet up and relax.

 

Life's far too stressful as it is, whithout dreaming of what the morning will inevitably bring.
