Dog can't get right

I also agree with the crate training. My wife and I have a pet sitting business and we help with new puppies all the time. Beagles can be a tough one though, their nose controls most of their decision making.
 
great advice in this thread, especially the crate > Right to the outdoors. When it has a lil spot outide that smells like a bathroom and all that praise... he'll -eventually- catch on! consistency and patience are your friends. Ceasar refers to, "Calm, Assertive Energy" when training (the calm part used to be a challenge for me). good luck Fattie, that's so good of you to find a rescue to rehabilitate, oops I'm mean adopt... My last dog sounded similar to what you are going through and my dog grew up to be amazing. Because he grew up on the streets of LA, my pup would go to the bathroom -only- on cement for a awhile. we all eventualy learn thru repetition thankfully.

lots of walks now that it is spring and repeated tinkling outside will help. keep going to the same corner of the yard so he knows. peace
 
Look at the dogs teeth for its real age , if it is a few years old the teeth will show wear and staining from plaque and tartar .. If they are clean it is younger than said .. I can usually narrow down an animals age by one look in its mouth ..

As mentioned by others get a crate and dont give up on it as your being put to the test and you can win this one .. Another thing to consider is its developmental stage has had a pause button pushed by having an unstable environment before hand as you mentioned , give him time and it should reverse but it can take a while as he learns to trust and bond with you .. Dogs are pack animals and he needs a pack leader to teach him while caring at the same time and all will fall into place once this is established .....
 
thanks for the advice buds. today we are starting him with the crate, outside, walk, lovin, back to crate routine. patio room subbing for crate til ms. gets home with one. he already has a nice spot out there, it's just that he'll still sneak them in the house too. so he may be further along than I give him credit for. he can do some sweet tricks just gotta get him on a stricter routine.
oh about the age, he still seems to be teething and looked like teeth were still coming in and they're all nice and clean, white.
 
Crate training is probably best option, agree with the take outside immediately after crated, praise,love n a treat for going outside.

Don't use the crate as punishment tho, leave the crate door open n throw a bone in there for him after he went outside ...
 
right on-

after he learns the peeing thing. give him dead rabbit. for five minutes, then take it away, skin it, and cook it in his presence. then feed it to him. brothers for life.:)
 
I dont think any of you guys would want to live in a crate. If your dog is young you need to take them outside every few hours to the same spot and wait till he does his thing. Clean your floor of piss smells.
 
It's not a life sentence Bernie just a safe place for learning to be comfortable alone. After accustomed to it and trained my dogs have returned freely for naps etc. Seperation anxiety causes most bad behaviors and your reaction to those problems cause more stress.
 
naw-

ihave good luck treating my kids the same way. ever seen that show malcolm in the middle? they act like that.

They were raising holy hell around here couple of years ago about some foster parents keeping mentally handicapped kids in crates. But otherwise they were getting out of the house thru windows, tearing stuff up, hurting themselves and each other. Showed pics of the "crates", actually half of the room fenced off. "Cage" was neat clean, actually probably better for the kids. They had 5 or 6 of them. Did they love them, who knows?
 
Bernie, my dogs don't have crates but its a must for puppies, its not cruel its actually similar to a cave or den for them.

You can't compare human n animal behavior really, bad analogy. Dogs like to roll around on dead birds n deer shit.
 
Took me 2 years to get my younger dog to stop defecating in the house. The peeing was the easiest. Took several months.

Poop accidents didnt stop until we had our own place with a yard that I could let her into at scheduled times. Once before breakfast. a couple hours later. dinner. A couple hours later.

Also most dogs have cues for when they have to go. My dog will just sit and stare at me. Sometimes she will sit near the door and stare at me. If you don't pay attention you could miss your dogs cues and they will eventually give up waiting.


My older dog is great. She will nudge me when she wants something.. Usually food, water or outside.
