potty training a dog.

[Semidevil]

my puppy usually sleeps in the crate, and durning the night, he holds his pee very well, and in the morning, whle we take him out to the back yard, he pees while walking out. we tried to carry him to the back yard and he pees while we carry him.

Also, it seems like he pees uncontrollably. like, he'll pee while sitting, or pee while walking.

how do we fix that problem.

he also doesnt react to discipline. we try to yell at him, and he absolutly has no reaction. we even tried to hit him on the nose a bit, but he seems to not know that it is punishments.

wierd.

Sounds like the dog is lazy

sounds like he's just really young. these things take time. it will take a while to condition the dog, maybe think of new punishments besides taping it on the nose.

You'll get further with praise than punishment. When he goes outside, make sure you praise him. If he pees inside otherwise, take him outside right away so he associates peeing with being outside.

I think I remember hearing that very young puppies are difficult to potty train. If he's under 3 months old, that could be the problem. Otherwise, if his uncontrollable peeing continues, take him to a vet and get him checked out.

Good luck.

Ummm until your dog has been through multiple dog obediance classes, negative reinforcement is not going to work. You are simply scaring your puppy and doing ZERO good.

You never mentioned how old the puppy is. Be thankful you have a dog that dogs it in his crate. My 5 month old puppy is just getting the grasp of that.

I think it sounds like the puppy is pretty young as well. How old is he? Praise definitely has worked with our dogs. You can ask a pet trainer some questions and I'm sure there's some great advice if you google it. If the puppy is older, maybe taking it to the vet wouldn't hurt.

this lady was giving him away, and she claims it was 4 months old......so we might just take him to vet and get him checked out.

Can't help you with that particular problem, but I can give you some advice:
Never, ever try to house train a dog by letting them out on too close of a regular schedule.
My wife decided to train our Min Pin by having him go out every 30 minutes, now, 3 years later, he just assumes that he has to go out every 30 minutes.
I can't even sit for long when I'm home, because he is constantly bugging me to let him out!
