Sue Mesa, Arizona 1/23/2013 6:23:31 AM I hope that I am not understanding what Peter has said about his house training methods and sincerely hope that it was not the dog that he slammed against the wall. It is shocking that someone would write that.Our cavaliers are 5 & 6 months. We go outside for "hurry". The little one still has an accident from time to time, they are puppies, but over all kind and consistent ac tions do result in a well trained dog. Yelling, and otherwise scaring the dog does not work.
Peter International 1/18/2013 4:04:50 PM I had a 6 months old and it was driving me crazy with eliminating inside the house, I slamm it against the wall and the excrement stained my wall. I left what evet was left of him in the floor for a week until it was dry and hard.
Laurie Long beach, California 10/8/2012 9:58:27 PM I have a 13 week old trying to house train him. It's hard. He does not like going on grass in my tiny little strip of a yard. He is is in crate at night does great but going poop on on grass hard pee good. Making me nuts. They r such great dogs
Cheryl Port St. Lucie, Florida 9/11/2012 3:46:19 PM I have a 6 month old male Cavalier that we adopted at 12 weeks. He was not trained when we got him. We use the kennel for training and he was trained within 3 days, As much as you want to let them run and play it is very important to stand firm and keep them in the kennel. They will not pee or poop where they sleep! He has had a few "accident's" and that was due to severe weather (Tropical Storm Isaac) and because I wasn't paying attention when he was at the door. I also have a string of bells on the door that we trained him to pull on when he wants out.They key to kennel training is to take them outside the moment you let them out of it and praise them and give a treat when they do their business. Then it is back into the kennel unless you are going to be giving them your undivided attention. When you can't do that then it is back into the kennel. Cavaliers are smart and they are very easy to train in just a few days. Puppies get in trouble when they are left free to roam around - that's your "bad" not theirs if they mess up.
