My poodle isn't house trained; I am!!!

Good luck and let us know how you get on downtoearth I do hope you manage to get some useful advice, I'm sure the problems you are experiencing are solvable with help from either the RGT or perhaps finding a qualified behaviourist. In the meantime I'd be inclined to let her sleep with you, perhaps putting her bed either in your room or just outside the door, hopefully you will be able to wean her into her bed in time but I think for now for her peace of mind and your sanity she's best where she settles and gives you all a good night's sleep!

Because it would be a fairly disgusting idea I think Kitspurr. Dogs are usually very easy to house train. From living with their mothers and also I believe, it's in their DNA that they don't toilet where they live. That's one of the reasons crate training is usually so helpful.
I was lucky I think, with my poodle x foster who'd lived in a barn till she came to me at 8 months, she very quickly learned to toilet when taken outside and given good routines.
downtoearth (like my friend) has a rescue who may not have lived indoors. Racing dogs are not treated like household pets. Hope you get some support downtoearth and if you want to, let us know how you go on.

Thanks Iam....I will ...giving her plenty of calm environment now Christmas is over...she likes peace and quiet...much the same as me really

same here downtoearth, I'm on the sofa, the dogs in their big bed, snuggled up together. They're snoring and I may join them soon.

Lovely picture you paint Iam...Bella all cosied up as well...

Sorry, haven't had time to read all the posts but one of the best methods of knowing when your dog wants to go out is to teach him to ring a bell. The technique should be quite quick as poodles are quick to teach and the worst that can happen is that he keeps ringing the bell because he just wants to be in the garden! Google it, there are lots of training ideas.

Hi when i house train my dogs i used a word when they go to the toilet (tiddles) as soon as they go i praise and treat, so they learn the word means go to toilet and by treating as soon as they go they link the deed with the treat, this worked really well with my last "rescue" dog , she had been living in a shed so did not know what house training was , hope your pups problem is sorted soon,x
