They say that dogs won’t go to the bathroom where they sleep, but that isn’t always true. Sometimes breeders keep their puppies in cages all the time and the puppies have to go where they sleep, if that is the case then crate training is going to be almost impossible. I wonder if she just needs to go more often than 3-4 times a day. Why not block off a room in the house, I used the kitchen, and put down those puppy training pads. They are supposed to attract your dog to go on them by smell. You could also put her kennel in the kitchen that way she has a comfy place to lay down. Maybe by actually giving her a place to go during the day when you can’t let her out, that isn’t her kennel, she will get the idea that the kennel isn’t for going to the bathroom in. As she grows, so will her ability to hold it until you can let her out. You may walk in one day and find she isn’t even using the pads anymore, but is able to wait for you.

you should put cologne on newspaper so that it could get attracted

your dog has already become bigger to train.It will be really effective if you train in the smaller days. But still its not very late. Dogs can be easily trained be your commands and all you need to do is practice. It will take some time but dont give up. All you need to have is patience.Now let me tell you how. First decide the place where your dog needs to potty. After that whenever it has done the potty elsewhere just raise your voice high and carry your dog to the place you wish for potty doing and again say it loud . Make a code word for potty which sounds short and powerful. and use that word and shout at it.Never harm it for doing that. Instead raise your volume and say that word again and again. she will obey after few days.. Even i had the same problem with my she dog but atlast she is now vert disciplined. As you said it was very easy to train the other he dog of mine. But this differes from dog to dog. Please dont get rid of your dog. treat it with lots of love and kind soft words and dont hesitate to raise your voice when it has done something wrong. Afterall they are like our kids. All the best for yor training. Hope your dog becomes very disciplined.

ok just take him out side when he whines and stand there intill he goes unless he starts to shiver!

Try using a smaller crate. Keep her in the crate until potty time. Then take her out. If she goes, let her have some playtime.If not, put her back into the crate and try again in 15 min. increments. Also, try a bell on the doorknob. Ring the bell everytime you go out. Soon she can nudge the bell herself, when ready to go.

it is not that refuses to learn ; she is very smart!! Each dog is different like each child is different; by now you know her routine; when she looks like getting ready to go ; outside immediately, no freedom until she earns it meaning whatever room you are in ; that is will she will be; have the crate door open; put something comfy , toys , treats but don’t close her in; take her out often; praise her like crazy when she goes; she can’t be blamed for not being able to hold it while you are working; can someone let her out during the day? You took this responsiblity and this didn’t happen overnight and is not going to be fixed overnight; you can’t blame the dog ; you have to blame the trainer, sorry but it’s true; you need to invest more time and patience ; if we can sense it in your words; she can sense it by your actions and tone; start from square one and don’t get mad, hit, raise your voice if the deed is already done b/c she can’t equate past mistakes with your present fury; you can’t correct the past only prevent future mistakes; do you love her? would you get rid of a child that didn’t potty train right away , no , you would have to work at it; be a great owner and invest more time, patience and understanding , she is a puppy at 8 months not a full grown adult dog; great dogs have good trainers, YOU

Crate training. Perhaps your crate is too large, or she is becomming neurotic from being confined to a crate for too long each day.

There are puppy pads which have great success and possibly puppy diapers as well.

Put training pants on him until he goes in the toilet.
