I just bought a 3 month year old puppy. it's been almost two weeks since i brought it back home. the problem is, i just don't know how to make it shit outside. it keeps doing it's business inside and there will be A LOT of poop and i HATE cleaning it. most other dogs don't shit inside, so the masters dont have to clean their poop like i have to. their dogs shit outside automatically when they smell the grass. i tried bringing my dog out after it ate last night, but it did not eliminate. so, i stood at the grass for almost 20 minutes and it finally urinated. i got fed up, and brought it inside and after 5 minutes, it shit- ed inside. and this morning after feeding it, i brought it outside to shit, but it didn't do anything. it is so frustating and depressing and dissapointing to have to clean it's shit and not being able to make it eliminate outside. how to make it eliminate outside like all the other dogs? please please help loveeee.

You are going to have to put some effort into potty breaking you dog.Get on a schedule, and be consistent. Take out as soon as you get up, every day, encourage him to go, stay out there til he does, then praise him. take out about 20 min. after he eats, stay until he goes, no matter how long that is.Then every 3 hours during the day. Feed him at the same times every day, morning early evening, no free feeding. And remember, this takes patience. Do not hit, rub nose in or any of the other negative things some people do. and you are going to have to eliminate the odor from the inside accidents. go to pet-smart and ask for odor remover.Don't use anything with ammonia in to clean the floors, this will only encourage him to continue going in the house.

Ignore bad behavior praise good behavior! when he goes inside ignore it, just clean it up and move on unless you catch him in the act, if you catch him say NO! & immediately take him outside to finish. If he goes outside and poops give him lots of praise and maybe a treat. eventually he will learn poop inside yelled at scolded not good poop outside praise and food Dogs are smaRT HE'LL FIGURE IT OUT JUST BE PATIENT
