My Dog is Not House trained

[German_ShepherdLover]

Every night my you would see pee in the wood floor and then he startes going on the carpet what should I Do?

I thought you said you were getting a pup too? I would train this one before you get another one. Take away his water 3 hours before bed time. Take him outside every so often...

[Saje]

Have you housetrained a dog before? Is this your new pup?

What have you been doing to housebreak him?

I don't believe in taking water away from animals.

Just about 2 hours before bed time. It's fine with mine

I know that a lot of people do it but water is such an important part of all bodily funtions. And young dogs are particularly vulnerable to temperature flucuations... I just don't like it. I'd rather get up in the middle of the night until they learn to hold it. Just my opinion! I know others find it works for them.

Is he marking, or peeing because he has to go. I found out my JRT was marking, so to stop I put a leash on her, and because she slept in bed right next to me, she found she no longer could just jump off the bed to mark. (she did not have to go potty outside) This stopped her from 'marking' in the bedroom.

Sage-I live in Australia where it doesn't get very hot. Thats why my dogs don't always need water. But they have it available all the time. I was just saying that becuase that's what others would of suggested. I'm getting a pup this week and we're going to teach her to go potty in one area so we can clean it up there. (This is outside) Anyway, cya

First off, how old is he and what have you been doing to try and house train in the first place?

[German_ShepherdLover]

Yes he has been housetrained. the past few weeks he acts like he is not housetrained. I have housetrained a puppy. But never housetrained a 3yr old fixed male dog! What should I Do?

The problem of taking water is that I don't have cold air in my house. So water is the only thing he can cool of. the strangest thing is that he doesn't Pee or poop in a closed area like my brother and my parents and me. What do you think I should do?
