My dog has gotten in a bad habit and will not stop being and pooping on the carpet so my family are going to sit down at dinner and find out what to do, giver to this Hunter we know or ......i dunno what we will have to talk. I'm thinking about my next pet, thinking about making a nice aquascape tank for a turtle/frog/guppies i saw a set up like that at a pet store and i was amazed!!! Or i'm think about a monitor lizard. But i really dont wanna give up my dog
but if its for the best for her..... (plus since my parents work all the time and i'm at school shes lock up in her cage
)

With dogs you have to have a routine and follow that routine and be consistant. I've had dogs since I was a little kid and I've never had a dog that wasn't house broken in less then a week.

When she wakes up.. take her out,after she eats.. take her out,after she plays.. take her out.Just before you go to bed take her out.And any other time that you can spare.Everytime she poops/pees,give her a small treat,and say " good girl muffy ( or whatever her name is)
If she poops/pees in the house,show her what she did,with a firm tone say "NO bad girl" (don't use her name) and take her out.Worked for my lab,sheperd,and bichon

Wow .......what a good reason to be peeing and pooping on the floor... And you were all at the extreme of getting rid of her........ Imagine if you could not talk and had a problem. Start at the basics first.........

Speaking as a long time professional dog trainer who's rehabilitated and trained hundreds of dogs that were given up for "behavioral problems":
1. It's always a good idea to rule out a medical problem.
2. Barring any medical problems the best way to housebreak any dog at any age is to give the dog a reasonable bathroom schedule, praise for going outside, if the dog has an accident inside roll up a newspaper then WHACK YOURSELF REPEATEDLY IN THE HEAD SAYING "NO! BAD OWNER!" FOR NOT WATCHING YOUR DOG MORE CAREFULLY.
In all my 20+ yrs of working with all sorts of animals I've only ONCE found one where the animal was at fault. Except for that one time it's always been the owner's fault (actually the one time it was the owner's fault too for letting the dog be bred in the first place, a chow/wolf mix, then abandoning it so that it became feral). Every dog can be trained by someone with enough time, love, patience, and knowledge.

DaneDodger-I am interested in your advice as a professional. We have a sheltie that has troubles with submissive urination. We are working with her right now by getting down to her level and calling her to us (outside, so we don't have the mess) and then praising her when she comes and more praise when she doesn't wet the whole way there. She seems to be getting better but is there more that we can do. She is 2.5 years old and an absolutely wonderful dog besides this. I would just like to be able to reach down to pet my dog without having a wet carpet at the same time. TIA Rhonda
Cartman-so glad you guys decided to have her checked before just putting her down. Keep us updated on how she progresses.

sorry not trying to hyjack this thread... u being a dog trainer have any ideas for breaking the habit of jumping on people when they enter the house... not in an agressive way just a playful boxer way... it's annoying and have tried water bottles can with marbles nothing works....

My cat had a problem with him that he peed on my bed for like 3 months. It was quickly solved by the vet with some medicine, it was an infection or disorder of some sort, I cant remeber. But my bed still smells horridly of cat pee
