Dani Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 (edited) I'm looking after my friends puppy for a week, its older than 3 months and less than 6. Everytime I come home from being out it wizzes everywhere!!! I've only had her a day and my patience is already wearing thin. How do I train her out of this? I've never had a puppy before. Thanks.

sas Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Ignore him. Young puppies sometimes do this from over excitment. It's hard but try to ignore for 5 minutes when you walk in the door, pretend the puppy doesn't even exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 Ok. Its still gonna pee for awhile though right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Ah yep. Some stop fast with being ignored, others take longer. A puppy under 6 months doesn't have great control over their bladder. Can the puppy be outside when you come home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Your frustrated just think of the pup its home routine has changed new house lay out & someone who gets frustrated when it wees. This what happens when people house sit you have to take the good with the bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 (edited) Its no better at its usual home than it is here I just found out. Will see how the ignoring thing goes... Thanks P.S Showdog I'm not house-sitting and I don't get frustrated at the dog either so your comment wasn't very helpful.

Akitaowner Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 when i got my puppies - initiallt it can be that they just really need to go - so i walk in calmly not making a fuss of pup in the house and let them out straight away and then lots of praise when they go in the right place - outside!! i guess all dogs are a little different but its important to keep comings and goings very low key especially if its the excitment thats making pup pee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascalmyshadow Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Let her mature, the last three pups we've had have done the same thing even though they were properly housetrained it's just excitement and there's not much you can do except keep her calm as possible, is she a more submissive dog?

Dogsfevr Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 You said'I have only had her one day & my patience is already wearing thin" That is frustrated. Okay not house sitting but your puppy sitting & its still the risk you take when voluteering to watch a pup. Helpful maybe not but just remember the pup is just as confused .
