Thanks for the replies.
First, let me clear the water issue up. i let her drink when i feed her in the morning and the evening. She is also allowed to drink a few times through out the day, however she does not have unlimited access to her water. I take her out about 2030 after her last feeding, then about 2130 or 2200 and finaly about 2300 after that she is put ot bed. She does wine for a few minutes after that she is calm. I wake up at 0600 and promply take her out, she does not wine during the night.
She came from a breeder. The breeder said she just started to house train her. the breeder lived in a rual area. i have had her for 2 weeks. i do take her out after meals, playing, and naps.
How do i break the behavior if she i used to urinating in her crate. Fuzzy pup, how would i know if the behavior is stress related?
Are you in the military? I mean what's up with the times. Maybe you are expecting to much too soon. I mean a pup doesn't care if she is supposed to pee at 0600, she might have to go at 0435, and if she was kept in a small space she probably learned to relieve herself where or near where she sleeps.
When the breeder started to "house train her" how did she do that?
I have had totally different experiences in house breaking a pup. Charlie probably only had 4 or 5 accidents total in my house. Shiloh had more accidents than I can count and was not housebroken until about 11 months.
Thank Goodness, that is over!!
Shiloh was raised with a breeder in a whelping box in the basement, and learned to go where she lived.
Charlie was more like an outside pup with not much human contact, and he learned to go outside of the dog box, in the yard. He was 12 weeks when we rescued him from his living conditions, and they were filthy....but he learned quickly and socialization was not any problem for him......really a sweetheart.
Shiloh we paid alot of money for, and Charlie, was a free rescued dog....Although he also had AKC papers, but the whole litter, except him died, I figure because they were not taken care of and it was winter. The "breeder" decided to just give him to my hubby, because he was fed up with breeding these pups, that died. (Go Figure) Then he also gave the parents away too. Probably a good thing.
I know I have rambled on, but what I am trying to get across is.....it all depends how your pup is accustomed to relieving herself to how long it will take you to get her to do what you want of her.
Best of Luck,
Julie.
