we just got her and she lifts her leg on the furniture and walls. shes a she. is this normal for pugs?How to re-potty train 4 year old pug in new house hold along side 1 yr old terrier mix?
Oh man I am going through the exact same thing, only mine hides it from me, like under my bed!
Ok so.... the best advice I ever got was to treat her like a puppy, taking her out often, and praising her when she ';goes';, that and to give her a safe space, like a crate with one of my old pillows.
Since I did that, bought her the crate, and made a big deal out of her ';going'; outside... I have had no more problems.How to re-potty train 4 year old pug in new house hold along side 1 yr old terrier mix?
Well, your pug might not like it but crate train her. When your going out of the house and when your going to bed, put her in a crate, that way their will be no mistakes. Then when you get back from going out or wake up in the moring, take her directly outside!!!!!!!!!!!
She'll get the idea pretty quickly.
Also make sure the crate is just the perfect size for her she, if she has alot of room she'll potty in her crate.
Happy training.
P.S. If you feel bad for leaving her in a crate when your leaving the house give a bone to chew while she's in there, it'll keep her occupied for the time your gone :)
The saame way you would potty train a puppy. Discipline him when he goes in the house, and praise him when he goes outside. And take him often to avoid accidents. Good luck though, that kind of potty training is difficult to correct. You can teach an old dog new tricks, it just takes longer. She is probably also marking her territory because there is another dog in the house.
We have learned that most dogs will take the behavior of the other dog in the house. Is the terrier new too? or has she been in the house before. The Pug will learn to follow what the other one does. Make sure you spray down the spots she has peed on previously to eliminate any odors and good luck
