Does anyone have any advice? had him in once and he pissed like a race horse. i dragged him out of the house and he never stopped pissing. He really wanted to mark this house. Wife did not find it amusing.

j26dog, this sounds like something that would take some time and patience. I just brought my female Gordon(16yrs.) inside in October after her brother died. They had been outside/doghouse dogs for 14 years. We started off letting her be in her kennel only at first. Slowly she is getting more time to roam and only when we are sure she have been outside to use the restroom. I keep her kennel pads old stuff(quilts/sleeping bag) that can be washed if she has has an accident. We are getting there. That said, I am sure her brother would have peed all over the house by now many times, just because....Good luck to you!

ok, ya need it spelled out. Bring the dog in ONLY after he/she has emptied their bowels bladder. at first it will be for very short periods of time. Watch the dog closely for signs it may "potty". day by day work up the time inside till he/she learns the house rules. It wont happen overnight

Always take her out as soon as she wakes up and always after feeding and she will get it pretty quick but most dogs will empty their bladder as soon as they get up from a nap. Like they said above the light bulb will go off after a while but it does take patience

Good advice already given. I would add this. When you cannot keep an eye on the dog the dogs gets put into a kennel crate. When the dog first comes back out of the crate he goes outside and doesnt come back in untill he relieves himself ( you must stay out there with him and make sure he goes). As soon as he does you say good dog and then he comes right back in. I have had several older dogs that started out in the kennel for a few years and then are moved into the house at a later time and have never had an issure. Off course my dogs dont hardly relieve themselves in the kennel because they are regalarly let out into the airing area to go at a regular schedule. Hope this helps


conserve waterfowl, use a trained retriever
