House training puppy question?
Question by : House training puppy question?
I have a 10 week old shih-poo puppy who I have had a week now. She appears to have the poodle intelligence, as she is catching onto things very quickly. I am crate training her and so far, she hasn’t gone in the crate. She is in there at night while we sleep (with a 3 am potty break), and for a couple hours at a time on and off throughout the day (I work about 20 hrs of the week from home)
My question is this: She seems to know every time we go outside that her first order of business is to do her business and she is rewarded with praise and a treat every time. She still, however, has no qualms about going in the house right in front of me. How do I get her to make this connection? Do I need to really just wait for her to attempt so I can catch her or do I continue taking her out regularly so that she avoids going in the house?
Any and all advice is appreciated!!

You and your puppy are doing really well, but she is only 10 weeks old. Keep on doing what you’re doing – take her out often and keep her in the room with you. Puppies this young have no bladder control and if they give any signals, they’re very subtle.
Maybe take her out a little more often and give her a ton of praise. She’ll soon make the connection that outside is the place to go. No, don’t deliberately wait for her to have an accident. But if you do catch her, scoop her up quickly, saying “uh-uh” and run her outside, then praise her for finishing outside.
You’re well on your way, you just have to be vigilant and she’ll be there before you know it.
