have tried it all and nothing seems to work.

I'm not exactly positive, but I think if you put their food on the place where they go, they won't go there anymore. Just a little tip that might work.

1. Teach a specific word : Each time you want your new puppy to
poop or urinate, try to repeat the same word over. You can use
whatever words you want, like "go poop" "go potty". By repeating
the same words each time, it will become another command for your
puppy, and she will be able to do it when you mention the
command.


2. Take her to the same spot every time. If you have had other
dogs, or talked with other dog owners, you know that when a dog
go pee on one spot on the carpet, they go back exactly at the
same place over and over. Why? Because they recognize the smell,
and it tells them to go back there. Now, knowing this, you need
to do two things : take your dog outside for its pee/poop, and
take her exactly at the same place each day. Your puppy will
recognize her smell and know she has do pee there.



Second, if your puppy pees somewhere inside, by accident, make sure you
clean the floor or the carpet thoroughly so the smell really goes
away. At first I used windex to clean a pee spot but it did not
work. My puppy kept going back. A friend of mine gave me a bottle
of pet odor remover and it is the only stuff that worked well in
my house. This is where you see its true that a dog sense of
smell is so much more developed then ours!


3. Confine your puppy for the night. Usually, your puppy will not
pee in its own bed, so it is better to confine her in a box or a
crate, with not a lot of space around her dog bed. Make sure you
take your puppy out first thing in the morning though, and not at
10am! Your puppy might not be able to hold all night, but she
will learn quickly that she has to do it outside.


4. Watch your dog a lot : you can't really expect your puppy to
knock on the door when he wants to go outside to pee. The best
thing of course is to have a dog door so your puppy can go
outside herself, but if this option is not possible, try to
observe what your puppy does before he pees, and take him outside
as soon as you see the sign. You can also teach your puppy to ask
for the door, but that might take some time.


5. Take your puppy out right after a nap or before you play with
her. Your puppy needs to pee or poop in those situations.


6. Just like you would do with your kids (and yourself
probably!), stop giving water to your puppy a few hours before
sleep time. This is a great way to avoid night pee, but cannot be
applied if it is very hot in your area and your dog might get
dehydrated. If it is the case, leave water all night round.


7. If your puppy poop or pee in the right spot, tell her! Use
your happy voice, your puppy will know she did it right and will
want to do it right the next time.

Always keep a good eye on your dog. The moment you look away is the moment they spring into action. If you leave your house put them in a room that you don't mind them having an accident in. When you come home if they have had an accident, be sure to scold them by being loud and using simple words like "bad" or "no". Do not hurt them because that will just make them afriad. If you catch them doing it while you are in the room, take them outside immedietly and if they finish before you can, then scold them. If you do not reinforce how bad it is then they will never learn. Another trick is to always have them go to the bathroom in one spot. I use a dog run that has large sized pieces of gravel in it. I always have my dogs go in there. Set up a place such as that so that they get used to one area. If you do this but they go while outside (not on a walk but around your home) that is not in their usual area, scold them because they can't be allowed to just go anywhere or else they'll get back into the habit of going in your house. Also try to have them go out at the same time everyday. 20 minutes after they eat is a good estimate and before you go to bed and after you wake up. Always make it around the same time so that they can also get used to that. Feeding them at the same time will also help. I would suggest not letting your dogs go to the bathroom on your lawn because it will wilt or kill flowers and grass. Instead set aside an area on the side of your house. Clean it regularly because a dog is more willing to go to the bathroom if it is in a clean area. Also when you want them to go to the bathroom say something like "go potty" or "go poopy". This may sound childish but it will help them get accustomed to it so that if you are leaving the house, you can just take them out and tell them to "go potty". This may take some time but when you need to make sure they don't leave a surprise around your house when you're gone it is a good trick. To keep them from chewing things, always scold them and be sure to give them Greenies or other dogs biscuits regularly. Having lots of chew toys will also help. If they howl a lot while you are trying to sleep putting them in a kennel and sitting or standing above it while shaking pennies in a can whenever they howl, will help. If you have a golden retriever, be sure to be careful with them going up and down stairs for they tend to have bad bones, and feed them measured amounts because goldens also tend to overeat. If you have trouble with them dirtying something like a couch by rubbing up against it, get shock pads. If you put them right next to the part where they like to rub then they will avoid it within a matter of days. These do not shock hard. They only surprise your dog but enough so that your dog will avoid that area. After a week or so you can try taking them away to see if your dog will stop rubbing. If he starts again, put out the mats again. If you need more advice just e-mail me. Good luck!

consistency, puppies need it, pick one concept and stick to it for atleast 1 month, but consistency is the key.

i would recommend puppy pad in one spot, a pet taxi for a consistent schedule for letting out, and treats for praise.
