[lilmamma]

i have tried everything to break her its just not working. i can not stand to clean up after her anymore she should already be broke. i need some new suggestions of how to break her, especially if you have a full blooded german shepard.she is as stubborn as can be too shes really not even learned her name. although she knows to shit and she knows when i come go get her to where she pooped she DOES NOT want to go back there, but no matter how much trouble she gets in she still wont break, yes i have a crate to she has peed in it but thats it but that dont matter either. i have taken her straight out side after she wakse up or gets out her crate and all she wants to do is lay on the ground or play in the grass.she has only used the out side mybe 3 4 times...this is beoming a huge problem please help.
thanks soo much

Pay attention to when the dog is going to the bathroom. I would assume it's within a half hour after eating and when she wakes up. How old is the dog? If it's still a puppy you might have a chance at breking her but if she's getting over a year or two you'll probably have a lot of work on your hands. The best thing you can do is keep the dog crated when you are away and when your around make sure to catch the animal right before the act and take it outside. Try to be positive at all times NEVER yell at the animal, you'll just frighten it and it'll prolly piss everywhere right then and there. Also, always let the dog know she's going outside or potty whichever you use, tell her everytime and when she does go potty outside like a good girl be sure and shower her with praise. She should get the point quickly if you follow those guidelines. Good luck!

yeah i would say the same for letting the dog know she is doing the right thing when she excretes outside. Take the dog on a walk, if time allows, at least once a day. Dogs tend to do their business when they are walking or running.

Next time she shits in the house, tie her up in an alley by a Chinese Restaurant. Instinct alone will make her fear for her life. She'll learn quick that way.

Call her mean names and make her cry.

Bloody pussy that monkey man is. My dog is 11 years old (we adopted her) and have just tought her to go to 'potty' when I step outside for a smoke of a night.

to start with, kept her indide for 3-4 hours and then go outside and tell her "toilet", BANG, instant pee or pooh!, go back inside and into her basket and have a choc or dried liver treat!

works wonders.

I know my brother had two dogs, both and passed away like a year ago. But I know one thing he would do if they would miss behave or so something there not to do and that was take the dog and put them on there back, stradle the dog pinning there lags down and with a free hand grab there musel, look strait in there eye and tell them NO! Worth a shot if all else fails.

I had a hell of a time with my dog, and even took him to the vet. The vet thought it might be worms, took a stool sample, and still didn't find anything. About a year later the cat broke out with worms, so we took another sample from the dog too, and found out he had at least two types, so we fed him the meds and he stopped pissing and crapping on the carpet. The wierd thing was was he only did it at one time, and only if he could get to that one spot, since we tried a barrier. Then again he humps cats so he isn't quite normal.

LMAO, Morty. You Rock! I have two dogs - a chihuahua and a poodle. Both of them are house trained and at first it was tough going. I mainly would take them out first thing in the morning, 30 minutes after ingesting any food/drink, and before we went to bed. There were still a few mishaps in the hallway but we would usually catch them in the "act" and run them outside yelling the entire time until the dogs quivered. After a few times of scaring the hell out of them and yes, I did slap them on the nose with newspaper - they started sitting by the front door and crying whenever they had to go. Good Luck!
