How to housebreak my dog?

Have you used a crate, to contain her when you can’t watch her? Vigilence is the number one thing in housetraining…I’ve actually kept a pup tied to me via my belt loop, and a thin nylon rope…They go where I go…

You didn’t say, if this pup was a kennel dog for the first five months of her life (a dog kept outside in a kennel)…these dogs take a longer time and a mountain of patience to “get it”…as they’ve been utilizing their kennel (their nest, home, etc)…for potty. They’ve overcome their natural need to keep it all tidy…

What you should do you should take the dog out at least every two hours. You should create a pattern for the dog. Since the dog is only five months old she will need to use the bathroom door. When you take her outside to pee and she does always tell her good dog. And if you would like when she pees in the house you could put her face by the pee and tell her NO or you could rub her nose in it and tell her no

Well… since you’ve had her for a while now… if you watch her carefully you should be able to know when she is about to go! When you see that she is about to go take her to the door and say outside then let her out and keep her out there until she goes. If that doesn’t work you can always try to train her to go on puppy pads you can set it by the door so she knows thats where she needs to go to go to the bathroom. once she is trained to go on the puppy pads… take the pad away. Then the next time she needs to go she should go to where the puppy pad used to be then you can just let her outside! My puppy had the same problem.
