Question for you guy’s………

I have a guy who’s asking for my help. He’s got a 6 month old English Setter and she’s crated at night in the garage. When they let her out in the morning ,she dinks around for 20 minutes without doing her business.They bring her back into the garage and then she does it. It’s where her food is, But when they bring her in the house,she seems to know not to “go” in there. Any suggestions.

When they let her out in the morning. Close the garage door. She needs to establish an area to go. Winter can be tough to potty train. When puppies establish an area in the yard, they get use to the grass on thier paws. Keep her from coming back into the garage and when she does get an area in the yard going, it wont be long until she starts using it all the time.

I have also used a product in the past that works well. Its a spray that triggers them to go. Saturate an area in the yard and she will pick up on it quickly. I dont remember the name but any pet supply will have it..

Chappy,
As a reliable rule of thumb, animals will not deficate where they sleep. Especially if it is in tight quarters.
This gentleman is going to have to get up early for a while.
Let the pup outside.
If he does his job, he gets to come in the house.
If not, he goes back into the crate for 20 minutes.

You get the routine.
I have had 100% success with this routine.
All animals, including us, are creatures of habit.
As a trainer, it is your job to create the proper habits!
Good luck
cheers
