Potty training is tough. Just stay consistent! Use a pet enzymatic cleaner to clean up any accidents in the house. Start noting when the accidents are occurring to see if there is a timeline. If you are gone, she should be in her kennel. Make sure to take her outside 30 minutes after eating. When she goes outside, give her a special treat. When she has an accident, tell her "no" firmly and clean it up without giving her extra attention.

I'm sorry Penelope is being so troublesome. With some dogs you have to keep them strictly confined until potty trained. She should either be in a crate or on a leash attached to a person even in the house. Take her out multiple times a day and praise her when she goes. Feed her set meals at set times and always take her outside right after eating or waking up. But if she doesnt go outside keep her on a leash so you can grab her quickly and run outside if she tries to go in the house.

I am sorry to hear about Hercules! I would highly recommend utilizing the potty training method outlined by veterinary behaviorist Sophia Yin. You can download her guide for free at http://info.drsophiayin.com/free-puppy-potty-training-guide . The technique may seem labor intensive intiially but it is quite effective (I used it in my own dog) if followed closely. Best of luck to you and Hercules!

Hi there and thank you for using PetCoach to address your concern. Bo is still quite young and him urinating inside is something that he should eventually grow out with training. Positive reinforcement with treats whenever he urinates outside and defecates outside will help reinforce him going outside. I've had great success with recommending Fresh Patch. This is a patch of grass in a cardboard box with absorbent material underneath the grass and you place this in the house. Bo will use this real grass to go to the bathroom short term. I would recommend starting by placing the grass in the area where he has been urinating and then gradually moving the patch of grass closer and closer to the door to the outside until eventually the grass patch is outside of the house and he is using it there. Fresh Patch is a product that you buy online at their website ( https://www.freshpatch.com/ ) I hope this helps and best of luck with the training! It can be frustrating at times but patience and persistence usually end in success! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
