....she keeps peeing I the house....

 

Hmmm thats where that crate training thing shoulda been done!

 

It's during the day when everyone is home, nights aren't a problem. That lazy pup sleeps through the night. Sometimes she goes outside then pees or poops in the house 5 minutes after she comes back in....

 

Ok, so crate her during the day then teach her that its not ok to peepee in the house silly! Crate training isnt just for night time lol

 

I don't want to keep her in the crate all day :/

 

Lol, u wont goofy, googe crate traing silly

 

don't expect a puppy to be fully house trained until at least 6 mos +.. they are still babies at that point.

if your dog is having accidents in the house when people are home it's because you guys arent keeping an eye on her. put her in the crate when people are home.. leave her there for an hour or so, as soon as she's out, take her straight outside. she doesnt get to come in, until she pees/poops. then, let her back in and she's good for another hour or so.. if you see her start sniffing the ground, pick her up and take her outside. the more you allow her to have an accident in the house, the more you set her back from understanding she's going in the wrong place.

also as far as feeding, feed her on a schedule. when people just leave their food bowl out all day, it's hard to know when your dog ate and when it will go. some people may disagree w/me, but this has always worked great for all my dogs.

 

I usually keep a good eye on her when shes in the house. Every time she leaves my eyesight I follow her. Looks like the other people in the house need to be trained as well lol. I threw away the bag of dog food and forgot to read the feeding recommendations. I do leave food out for her when I leave because shes home alone for about 8 hours. I'm currently feeding the pup Eukanuba large breed puppy food.

 

lol.... yes, the rest of the house needs to be trained.

best way to choose food is to go off ingredients. avoid anything w/corn as that causes food allergies.

eukanuba is not very good food, but finish the bag, and then switch. if you have a costco nearby, their kirkland super premium is the best food for the price. if you don't have one, nutro sells decent food for the price.

i can understand your worries about being gone 8 hours. after your dog is about 6 mos you can feed twice a day, so feed before you leave and when you get home. i feed my dog at 830 am and 8 pm.. +/-

 

Tisk tisk on u! Saying that!
I totally agree with other person here, she isnt gonna starve while ur gone at work, training will go very fast and before u know it she will be reminding you and....other person in the house! Lol shame on u!

 

Plus the kids....they want a puppy but none of the responsibility. Not on my watch!!

 

X2 I'm a dog trainer and if you let the dog out and she don't wanna go back into the crate and try again a little later

 

I feed my dogs once a day at dinner time they do fine but if you have like a Dane or a wolf houn... Or something that eats a lot you wanna spread it out more too much all at once = bad

 

Well I think shes going to be a pretty big pit cuz shes only 15 weeks old and already 30 lbs. I was home all day yesterday and she didn't pee in the house once.
