House training.

[Rosieekn]

Hi folks.

New here. I have an 18 month old un-neutered female named rosie. We got her at 6 months old.
House training has been a big problem for us. I’ve owned dogs before and never had a problem.
Rosie spent her first 6 months as an outdoor dog with her parents and siblings, well cared for but hence no proper house training. I’ve managed to get her house trained during the day, she’ll stand at the back door if she needs out.
But at night she pees and poos on the puppy pads. In the last few weeks she’s taken to peeing on her bed as well. She peed on one of those mattress beds at the start so now we only give her old blankets as they’re easy to wash. She also can’t be trusted in the house on her own as she’s peed on the sofa in the past so she’s outside if we are all out.
She gets 2 walks a day. The last walk at 7pm. Fed after and water removed by 8. She’s put outside before bed for 20mins. I’ve no idea what time she does her business at night.
It’s becoming a strain on us. Especially the peeing on the bed.

Also her fur is getting thinner. No irritation or redness. Food hasn’t been changed either. Any ideas?

Any advice would be gratefully received.


Rosie

I would work on crate training.

No bedding of any type in crate.. some dogs just can’t have it as the will potty on it.

When you say she is outside when you are all out.. is she just in a yard or the garage? Please be careful with temperatures.. heat/cold can be dangerous for long periods of time. Also bulldogs have high rate of being stolen

I agree with the crate training. I personally would also take her out during the night.Hang in there! It is always a lot harder to train an older dog!
