schnoodle training

Question
Hello there,

i have a 5 month old schnoodle and i cant seem to get her "potty trained". she just goes wherever she pleases. Also, she wont stop barking, and i live in an apartment and am afraid of losing her. I would appreciate any tips. Thank you so much.

Answer
Laicy,
It sounds like you have given your puppy free reign inthe house and she doesn't know that it is her den.  Get a crate and put her in it.  Then take her out, and when you get back in, put her on a leash on your belt so you can watch her every second.  If you are not there she should be confined to a room with papers down and her bed a few inches away from the papers.  If you do this and then pick up the papers a little at a time, she should start to get cleaner.  Then you must house break her in each room.  A puppy doesn't know that if he doesn't go in one room he cant go in another,   In fact, if he were outside in a den, he would go out of the den and go to the bathroom.  That is what your pup is doing.
good luck
