How do you train a corgi to let you know they need to go to the bathroom? - MyCorgi.com2024-03-28T14:50:54Zhttp://mycorgi.com/forum/topics/1150197:Topic:61764?commentId=1150197%3AComment%3A1040043&x=1&feed=yes&xn_auth=noOur dogs almost never need go…tag:mycorgi.com,2011-05-16:1150197:Comment:10400432011-05-16T17:14:01.702ZJohn Wolffhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/JohnWolff92

We trained Schatzi on the puppy pads first, since we're on the 4th floor of an apartment building and couldn't really get her outside quickly. It took probably a month for her to actually pee outside for the first time, and only because i took a used pad outside several times and had her sniff it to understand that she should pee outside. Once she did it for the first time, I would just try to take her out regularly (upon waking up, after eating, and generally every couple hours) and was sure…
We trained Schatzi on the puppy pads first, since we're on the 4th floor of an apartment building and couldn't really get her outside quickly. It took probably a month for her to actually pee outside for the first time, and only because i took a used pad outside several times and had her sniff it to understand that she should pee outside. Once she did it for the first time, I would just try to take her out regularly (upon waking up, after eating, and generally every couple hours) and was sure to shower her with treats as soon as she did her business outside. Then one day I just took the pad away, and when she had to go, she just came and sat and stared at me. When I would stand up or move, she would run to the door. We also hang her leash on a hook on the door, she she associated the leash with going outside, which means she would head to the door when she needed to go.<br />
<br />
Of course, she abuses this sometime when she just wants to go chill outside and chase people, so I always keep track in my head of when the last time she went out was, so I can anticipate when she really does need to go out. If she hasn't communicated that she needs to go out, I generally take her out every 3 hours or so (she is almost 6 months). We have accidents a few times a week, but she is still young and learning, and generally very good about it. Just pay attention to what your puppy is doing!! Waffle uses a bell too.

Waffle uses a bell too. Once I taught him to ring the bell, he reliably peed outside and only outside. But, he uses a bellhop bell, not a set of dangly jingle bells. I taught him to ring it first, then made him do it before I opened to door. After a day of this, it clicked. Bell = outside. Then, to get him to ring it ONLY wen he had to pee, we brought him right back in when he didn't pee after 5 minutes. Sometimes he rings the bell when he really wants something and needs to get our…

Coco and Dino have their own door and they use it. Double fenced in back yard. But when it rains they will stand at the door and wait for me to go with them. I dont know who trained who.

Oh yeah! I ask Lola if she needs to go potty & she'll jump up & down & bark (I have a video on my page... super cute! haha)... sometimes she has to potty, but a lot of the time it's to roam around outside. Although, when she does have to potty, it's a very urgent bark!!<br />

I got her to know what 'do you need to go potty' means by taking her outside & praising her with 'good potty!' when she'd do her business. Then when I'd see her pacing, I would ask her if she needed to go, then…

I used to think Ludo didnt tell me he had to go either... he had regular times to be let out and did pretty well, but... there always seemed to be unexpected messes. I took him out after each time and eventually I noticed that before the messes would occur, he always seemed to be hovering around me more closely than usual. I began taking him out as soon as I noticed his hovering, he caught on and now he comes over and puts his front legs on me and gets all excited when I look at him. As soon as…

My little Peanut would not do well with the bell, as she'll be playing with it constantly. I have problem knowing when she wants to poop. She usually makes a small cry AFTER she has done her business, never before. I can't sit there and watch her all day long. I take her out regularly, but she mostly pees.<br />
<br />
I hope she catches on soon, but then again, she's just a pup! Corgis - amazingly intelligent and cheeky! :)
