I’m trying hard to teach my dog to be an off-leash dog. She has been very good! But we need to work on her distractions. She doesn’t have any distractions that are so severe that I cannot call her off of them. She can occasionally be called off a squirrel, so I know it is definitely possible to have her as an off leash dog.

Any suggestions on books that deal with training a dog to behave off leash?

You need to do a whole lot of training before allowing your dog freedom off the leash. Here is a great site to start you off on the right foot;

Pat Miller (peaceable paws site); Diane Bauman, Terri Arnold, are all excellent trainers and have several books out that might be helpful to you.

Any suggestions? http://www.epuppyguide.com/having-difficulty-potty-training-my-dog-even-though-he-just-about-had-it-any-suggestions.html http://www.epuppyguide.com/having-difficulty-potty-training-my-dog-even-though-he-just-about-had-it-any-suggestions.html#comments Wed, 06 Oct 2010 17:11:14 +0000 admin http://www.epuppyguide.com/having-difficulty-potty-training-my-dog-even-though-he-just-about-had-it-any-suggestions.html I have a 6 month old Beagle. When I first brought him home, he was doing so well. I got him to where he would go to the door when he had to go to the bathroom, but he wouldn’t make any noise, so sometimes he would have an accident by the door, which is understandable. So I tied a can with some pennies to the door, which he could hit when he needed to go out. This worked wonderfully well, and he was doing great. But recently, he seems to be going backwards. I took him out camping with me and since then he’s gotten gradually worse. Now its to the point where he doesn’t go to the door anymore and instead just goes to the bathroom whereever and whenever he feels like it. He has been fixed, so I know he’s not marking, he’s just going pee and poop wherever. We can even take him outside and he’ll go to the bathroom, and we’ll praise him, then we’ll bring him inside and shortly after he’ll go to the bathroom again! Does any one know why he’s doing this, and further, how to correct it?

I have been training new dogs for years to walk well on a leash with much sucess. This one. I would like to murder( not really), but walking him is a nightmare!
He just discovered squirells as well. I own pretty much every training device. Harnesses, chokes, prongs, gentle leaders. He is really stubborn. Its like his mind is off

I’ve trained him to not go inside, and he doesn’t but we do not have time to take him out every 3-4 hours. At the moment we take him out twice a day, once in the morning and once every evening, but I feel terrible that perhaps he feels like going, and holds it in all day. That would be very painful for humans, and I feel bad for the little guy.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
