Don't even bother picking her up when she already did it, doesn't do anything except for confusing the dog. What I do is making it clear on the spot that it's not acceptable releasing anywhere but on the pad. You can send her to a corner and make her stay there say 5 - 10 minutes. Dogs don't like to piss off their owners so she'll know that's a bad thing. You will HAVE TO clean the area pretty good to get rid of the wee smell. The "no go" spray bottle they sell at the pet shop is pretty good.

Praise her lavishly when she goes on the pad. You can give treats but it isn't necessary. The necessary part is praising. She'll pick it up quickly that going on the pad pleasing you.

Mine knows to go on the pad after 2-3 weeks and then I just get rid of it because I did't like the idea of having a shit area in my place:D. As usual, praise lavishly when he release outside whenever he goes on a walk, When you're ready, get rid of the wee pad and try to take him out at set intervals. At first, I have him taken out every hour or two on a walk around the block because he seems to goes more often in the beginning. And then the interval just lessen. Now I take him out when I wake up, a few hours after he eat/drink and before bed.

Best thing to do is to contain them in one area. That way the potty training pads are close by. I would do more then one pad as dogs walk around before they poop. If they have full run of the house before they understand what is wanted they wont learn.

Been good weeks with this puppy, but i need biiiig help asap, because im really concerned and im going to the vet tmwr to get it checked but just want information, alright so 2days ago i went to give her a walk as usual around 3 because i recorded her pee and poo times so i had a whole schedule, we walked for about 1minute and she steps on some grass or plant that is realllly small and it was stuck in her like a thorn or bee sting, at first i thought a bee stun her, but after i got home i saw and i waited for family members to come home so we can take it out . After we took it out it was fine, just swollen and tonight, my brother and dad was outside so the dog followed since i was busy and when she came back , she didn't shake or anything, she was normal, after a bit, she went for a nap, she woke up about an hour and a half later, and she was shaking randomly at times, i thought she was just cold, somehow i got the idea she had a virus going on, so i googled howto tell if your puppy is sick, she matched some of the symptoms, her scelera had some red viens . abit more pale coat . shaking like water was on her , people say its to get stress off as a body language for dogs .Also today she was suppose to get her shots, but everyone was busy and when i was available , the vet was closed! She has had her 2nd shot already. Any ideas whats wrong?!!? :S

She could be shaking for a lot of reasons. Cold, stress, anxiety, etc. Beside that, does she show any sign of discomfort until now? Does she eat and play normal? No whining or yelping?

Anyways I have no idea but if you decide to bring her to a vet, bring the plant you took out as it might be helpful.

It was really small, like a splinter but sure looked painful, i brought her to the vet and we were so unlucky , we came in 2hours before closing and the doctor was already gone! No shots + checkup til thursday. She never showed those signs of discomfort til yesterday, today she is a bit better, and from what i heard, when she went out with my dad and brother to the backyard they gave his some watermelon and i think the was the case . Thanks alot rev!

Thanks fot everyonea replies, just to keep you guys updated dobby is doing fine all shots + rabies up to date (not a single moan during the shots) but what brought me here tonight is its 2:28 am atm and i was in my room doing some work on the computer and she cones in and stands up to see me, i knew she had to go potty so i brought her to training pads, she wouldnt pee there for a good 10mibsns just trying to run and as soon as i let her go he pees 3 metrea away from me, i think its because everytime i see a spill in the house i bring her to her mess and she would knoe ehat she did wrong so i bring her to the training pad and make her sit there til im doe cleaning up, is it because she tginks thta her time out zoe now? I eould just bring her outaide but the doors are locked on all 3 locks and its really loud to open 2 of them and my grandmother is sleeping downstaira and i dont want to wake her up . Any suggrstions/ tips on potty training?

I would stop taking the pup to the spot when there's a mistake. Now the pup doesn't want to pee near you because it's a bad thing. Just say woops and take the pup to the potty spot and treat. This way they are a good thing. Also during the day take them out side and on leash walk her/him to them to pee on.
