House training probs w/ my Poodle?

Could it just be that on the days he has accidents you are busier than usual and aren't getting him out when necessary?

You have to be watchful & consistent. He is still quite young. Make sure you reward him when he goes outside. Treats, praise.When you take him out walk him till he goes, some dogs need the exercise to get things moving. Clean the place(s) he goes inside with a good enzyme cleaner to remove the smell so he is not enticed to go there again. If he is not neutered do so before he starts marking. Once they start marking they sometimes do not stop.

From my own experiences with dog training (far from professional) having several accident free days is pretty good. You just have to give it time and he will eventually overcome that and will use the bathroom exclusively outside.

When ending housetraining, it really pays to be cautious and ease out of the program slowly. Puppies can get the concept of housetraining within a few weeks, but they aren't physically capable of "holding it" for very long until they're six months of age at the earliest, and often closer to eight or nine months.

If your pup's younger than nine months, keep him in his puppy playroom or crate when you're not watching him closely, even if he seems housetrained. This prevents mistakes that can sabotage all your hard work.

The most important part of housebreaking your pet is close supervision. This is necessary because your puppy learns by repetition. If you see your dog showing signs of needing to relieve itself, then immediate action must be taken to get the animal outside to its designated area. Consistency in training is critical. Do not think being lax because it's cold or dark outside is acceptable or your pet will adopt these same attitudes.

Close supervision during housebreaking is also necessary because it gives you time to learn your dogs special quirks such as needing to urinate right after eating or a certain action they take prior to soiling the floor so you can watch for these actions and respond in the future. Also it allows you to correct a situation while it is still fresh in the dogs mind. While being very intelligent creatures, short term memory is not the strong point for most animals of this species and correcting them after more than a few minutes have passed serves no real purpose.

Another key to Housebreaking is giving your dog a limited amount of space. Baby gates across doorways or a pet crate help to make a more confined area and help your pet to recognize this as his living space. Their natural tendency is to go outside of their own living space to urinate so making this association for your pet will make your job easier.

Lining this space with old news papers is a good idea at first as it facilitates a much easier cleanup of any accidents your pet might have. Also be aware that some surfaces are more pet-friendly than others. Try to confine your new pet to areas of the home with tile or vinyl floors which are much easier to clean. Avoid letting them have access to carpet or hardwood floors which retain odors and can be extensively damaged by an errant pup.

Remember to limit the amount of water your dog has access to at the end of the day as you will otherwise be making a walk with your pet in the middle of the night. A quick walk outside at regularly timed intervals is advisable to training as this helps your pet to set an internal schedule. Be certain to use a consistent keyword to tell your pet why you are out in the yard such as "potty" or "toilet" or anything you choose and do not return indoors until they have relieved themselves. Also remember to give praise when your dog relieves itself in appropriate places such as on newspapers or outdoors.

Again consistent training is the key. If your pet does have an accident indoors, correct the animal immediately and then clean the area using non-ammonia based products. Instead use an Enzyme based deodorizer to clean the area and be sure to remove all odor of the accident or the animal will repeat the behavior again.

small breeds are very hard to house train and aren't usually completely house trained until 9 or 10 months old. Try walking him on a leash until he goes. If he doesn't go, put him in his crate ofr 20-30 minutes and then being him back out again on the leash. We did that with our manchester and it worked great!
