Dogs are covered in hair for a reason!lab-rat said:The boyfriend said that that was the last time, they have to now sleep outside in their kennel. I feel bad about that , but the weather is improving and it is not as cold as it has been.

The auld dag "soiling" the floor eh!
This may sound gruel, inhumane etc but have you tried shoving his face in it? An old trick me father thought me! Think about it if I shoved your face in it would you do it again?
Another auld wives tale is if you leave their bowl of water down where they've soiled or been soiling, they tend to stop.
Two 9 month old pup's, god love ya!
It'll be torture for another while but stick with it, they'll come good!
What breed?
Sorry Willypat, I actually did mean to say is that how you trained your dog? I have a bitch at home and I'm thinking I might try this with her. She is around 10 stone though so you can imagine what I have to put up with. Thanks for tip!WillyPat said:Ha Ha apologies EEEEK!!
No Judybaby, but my dog was trained that way when he was a pup and never soiled the house after that!
It does work!
He is now a 7.5 stone Labrador, you can imagine the soil he'd leave after him now if he were still in the house!
Thanks all for the advise. I am not into putting their face into their poo.WillyPat said:Hmmm

I often wonder when the attitude of some Irish people towards animals will come out of the stone ages.
A puppy has a tiny bladder and bowels, and will unfortunately have accidents - you get them to go at 9pm and then expect them to hold it in till the morning.
By 'shoving his face in it' as you so eloquently, and obviously expertly recommend, you are merely confusing the dog. It has no clue why soiling the floor is bad, and does not make the connection between the 'cause' of the punishment, i.e. his soiling, and the 'effect' - you so callously shoving his face in it.
Jaysus man, just because it worked for your da doesn't mean animal welfare thinking hasn't advanced just a tiny bit since then.
No, and I repeat no, animal behaviourist, trainer, handler, lover, welfare organisation etc. will ever, ever advocate your 'advice'.
Before trying WillyPat's 'advice' try some of the links on
Please remember that it takes time, patience, dedication, and understanding to train any animal.
