I just got my puppy 2 days ago. On his first day he did a wee outside and a poo inside so on his second day he thought that was the way he was meant to use the toilet. So i got scared and took him outside the whole day on his second day and he didn’t need to use the toilet at all even inside unless it was just after eating or drinking. At night time he doesn’t have a crate so he walks around the living room and relives himself on the tiles. Please advise me on what to do so i can toilet train him in a easy and efficient manner.

Hi Hanna, she isn’t being stubborn – here’s the article you need: https://www.thelabradorsite.com/15-puppy-potty-training-problems-solved/ Shorten the gaps between bathroom breaks until your puppy is successful and supervise her when her bladder is filling. A few days concentrated effort and you’ll be able to start stretching out those gaps again.

My lad puppy is 5 months old and is doing great housetraining at night she only wakes me up once in the night. But most days she has 1 to 2 accidents a day. I got her when she was 11 weeks old so I got a slow start with housetraining. But I also think she’s being stubborn about housetraining. If you have any ideas for her being stubborn with housetraining please tell me. I’m about at my wits end with her.

Hello, I have a 6 month old lab and she has not yet received toilet training. I spent a lot of time trying her to wee outside but she has yet not shown any progress. Can you please help me out?

I’ve just taken my 9 week old lab to the vet for his first jabs, and mentioned the success I was having with this method of toilet training – she just about fainted and started telling me how puppy isn’t covered with his vaccinations yet and the risk of catching all sorts of nasties. I really don’t want to go back to training pads, we were having accidents all over the place, and to me it’s going back to square one. Who is right?

First, I love this site and the information that you provide! It’s quite helpful. One of the best things I got to help house training my new pup was a bell for the door. My sister had one for her little toy dog and it worked well for her. I actually saw the PoochieBells advert on this site and got one of those. I picked up my little girl 6 days ago (a Valentine’s Day pup!) at 8 weeks old and she’s already learned that a nudge to the bell means she needs to go out to relieve herself. I don’t know if I got lucky with her or if this would be common with a lot of lab puppies learning to use the bell so quickly. She does still have the occasional “accident” or try to squat and go before I scoop her up and take her out (rining the bell on the way), but she’s letting us know a fair amount of the time now. I’d highly recommend giving it a try for anyone getting a new puppy!

Hi pippa. I was wondering if you could help me, I did try to see if u had an email address that I could contact you privately but it would be great if you could just email me so I can write a more detailed message.
I find your website extremely helpful and knowledgable. And as you are based in uk and have a wide knowledge of Labradors I wanted to ask your opinion on a breeder I am considering getting a puppy from. I do not want to put their name up here as I think it would be unfair. I am doing a lot of research to try my best to get a healthy happy labrador from responsible breeders but I am no expert. So your opinion would be great.
Look forward to hearing from you
Katy
