Housetraining tips cont.:

3. Take your dog outside. Go to the same place every time. Somewhere you know that other dogs are going as well. Now WAIT. and wait and wait. If they don't go then bring them back inside and into their crate. Wait 15 minutes and try again. Your dog should not get to roam the house until they have gone to the bathroom outside.

4. If you live in an apartment on a high floor. Carry your dog downstairs. It's very difficult for dogs to get up, wait for you to get dressed, walk down the hallway, sit quietly in the elevator, walk through the foyer, down the front stairs and THEN PEE. Carry them outside and get them peeing outside then slowly add in that long walk. After they are peeing outside several times then set them down in the foyer so they walk ten steps to go pee. Then twenty. then thirty etc etc. Make it easy enough so they can be successful then go from there
