There are three potty training issues that always go hand in hand with trying to train a puppy, adult dog or senior dog. Some older dogs never had the training, so they never ended up housebroken.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But regardless of age, any dog can be trained to do his business outside. Crate training is the best way to train any dog, so you always want to start there. The reason that this method is so effective is that dogs are extremely reluctant to go to the bathroom where they sleep.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you have a dog that\u2019s constantly relieving himself in his crate, it\u2019s because the crate that he\u2019s in is too big. He has room to go relieve himself in one area and turn around and lie down away from his elimination.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Dog<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That means that your crate needs to either be downsized or you need to use a crate divider to take away some of his room. If you do that and your dog is still using the bathroom in his crate, it means that you\u2019re not taking him out often enough or he may have a medical condition and can\u2019t hold his bathroom needs as long as other dogs can.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another common potty training issue is when a dog relieves himself in the house. If he\u2019s gone through crate training, then this shouldn\u2019t be an issue. But it can happen with puppies if they end up drinking something or eating something.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Their systems are small and fast. They usually need to relieve themselves within a half an hour after eating or drinking. Adult dogs have potty training accidents when they eat something that upsets their system or when they\u2019re left inside for too long.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With senior dogs who have potty training accidents inside, it\u2019s usually because their system isn\u2019t what it used to be. They may have trouble holding their urine or they may have digestive problems that make them need to eliminate quickly after eating.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The solution is to watch your dog more closely when he\u2019s sick and make sure you let the dog out more often when he\u2019s prone to having accidents. Keep him on a schedule and that can help stop accidents.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Bulldog\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also, dogs that have potting training issues could pee inside your home if they\u2019ve done it before because of the scent that\u2019s left behind. Even if you\u2019ve cleaned up their accident and you can\u2019t smell it anymore, it doesn\u2019t mean they can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Their noses are more sensitive. You have to use a product that can completely remove the scent. The third potty training issue you run into with dogs of all ages is they don\u2019t use the bathroom when they\u2019re outside even when you know it\u2019s time for them to.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The causes of this are anxiety or they get distracted by a bird, a squirrel, the sound of someone or something else. Sometimes dogs will need to go, but dart back inside without going because they want the calmness and security of being in the home which they see as their den.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The solution is to walk out with your pet and stay out in the yard with him until he goes. You can help him not be distracted and your pet feels more secure when he knows you\u2019re with him.<\/p>\n
