disagreeing over accidents

Hey everyone my other half and i are at loggerheads over our 7 month old girl we have just got her as a rescue she has been with us for 3 days and good as gold but she has had a few accidents she has pooped in the bathroom which i can cope with as its lino but she is weeing on the carpet and my other half has said if she does it again he will rub her nose in it ive told him if he even tries it i will well not be very nice lol she has plenty of walks but doesnt always go i have read the toileting link just wondered if im the only one who thinks rubbing her nose in it is abuse : (

I totally agree with you!! Rubbing her nose in it is cruel and abusive and I'm afraid if the rescue centre thought he'd do this they may not have let you rescue her. She's new to your home and there's a transition period she'll be nervous and scared already, she needs time, care, patience and persistence, and yes I'd rub his nose in it lol!! Xx

I threaten bim with more then that all in all she's amazing he thinks as he has had staffies before hes a bloody expert think this post belongs in the partner rant section if there is one lol in between posting there's a puddle in bathroom so i have given her praise still not ideal i know but better then on the carpet : )

How about going back to basics with her give her a key word ie wee or wee wees<-- mine lol and take her out every 1/2 hour or so when she goes treat her. She'll soon learn doing her business outside gets her a treat xx

Yeah i will do that it cant be easy for her as u said getting used to a new family thanks for your comments: )

No problem jem we'd love to see some pics of your girl xx

Come say hi :- https://staffy-bull-terrier.niceboard.com/f7-new-member-introductions

She will be unsettled. her world has been turned upside down again "god love her"
What she needs is lots of love with no raised voices when she goes to the loo in your home - just a stern no is enough; then take her outside straight away to show her where to do her business, along with lots of praises afterwards. I'm sure you will be OK soon  

at 7 months shes still a pup and if shes been in kennels she has prob forgotten any house training she had - i agree with every 30min-60min outside for " wee wee " and if has accidents just clean it up - dont shout but give off body language that youre not pleased - and tell OH all dogs are different so stop being a know it all ass and be patient with her x

Haha yeah he knows his in the dog house so to speak thank u everyone for the time you have taken to comment i was trying to upload pics of her but photobucket wouldn't let me slide the arrow lol

Congrats on your new addition! I would say firmly 'naughty' & take my pup out regularly to wee outside, they soon learn. I'm on your side re rubbing nose in it, no need. When pup wee's inside spray area immediately with urine remover to tale the smell away, if pup smells the scent she will keep repeating.

I agree. Running her nose in it is barbaric; cruel and lazy training.

I definitely would never do that!

Daisy is a rescue and had a few accidents at first. What I did was use 'do your business' as my toilet phrase and I would take her out, wait until she started to do something and then start repeating the phrase while she was doing it and then praise her afterwards. She soon caught on, now I can open the door tell her to go out and and do her business and she does   

yea my two at 11pm - when me and the mrs stand up and turn off lights i say " wee wees " they both shoot out dogflap - do their stuff - then go upstairs to their beds and "settle" -- it just takes using certain phrases and routines -they soon learn

definitely no to rubbing her nose in it,being a rescue god knows what she's been through,give her time to adjust to your house,i know its not nice when they have accidents in the house but be patient with her,going back to basic training with her will help,and yes tell your oh you'll rub his nose in it and see how he likes it!
