Best ways to potty train an older dog?
So my dog, Sasha, is one years old and has been having trouble getting potty trained. I would take her on a nice long walk at the park or out into our backyard with tons of areas for her to use the bathroom, and she’ll still end up peeing and pooping inside. She isn’t pooping inside 24/7 btw!
It’s super frustrating, and I’m starting to lose hope. My brother is suggesting that we “get rid of her” and I do not want to do that.
I’m not really sure what to do. We also have an older dog who is 4, and she doesn’t having issues with only using the bathroom outside (she does have an accident very rarely though).
Sasha is a very obedient dog and has no problems with other forms of training, but getting her to not poop in the house as often is sending me into a spiral. Im still in high school (graduating soon woop woop) and I work from home so naturally I’m not able to monitor her 25/8 to insure she doesn’t use the bathroom inside and no one in my household is willing to help me. My older brother, who is less busy than I am, only ever takes both of our dogs out for no more than maybe 30 minutes a day (my mom does help out a lot tho with taking them out).
Even though our dogs are **OUR** dogs, I feel like I’m truly the only one taking care of Sasha and I just don’t know where to start with getting her fully potty trained.
Do I need to take her out more? Should I start putting her into her crate more frequently? Any advice is helpful!!
