Is It To Late To Housebreak My Daschund?


Question: Is it too late to house break my 1 1/2 year old Duschund dog?  She is impossible when it comes to that. - from Stacey

Answer: Stacey, the primary thing you must have when trying to potty train an adult Daschund it patience.  You did not mention, if she is new dog to you, or if you have had her since whe was a puppy.  Here are some general tips to consider:

  1. Get a dog crate that is just big enough for her to turn around in.  Don’t put any towels or blankets in there.  If you cannot watch her 100% of the time, she is in the kennel until properly potty trained.

  2. As soon as you open the kennel door, she goes outside to pee/poop.  This will then become a habit for her.

  3. Be consistent in your training, and you should eventually get there.
