I have two dogs one is a full breeded maltese and the other is a maltese chihuahua mix.the maltese mix poops and pees in the house right in front of me and the maltese pees on anything he hasn't smelt.if the keep dping this I might have to get rid of them and I really don't want to do that but they won't stop it!I need tips and stuff on how to train them so the won't do it again.please help me!! :)

What training methods have you tried so far?

Have you tried taking them for walks at certain times of the day to encourage them to pee/poop outside?

Taken them straight outside when they look like they are about to poop and then praise them when they do go outside?

Enzyme products to remove any toilet smells from your carpet?

Take them out immediately after waking up and after they have eaten? You may need to stay out there with them for up to half an hour.

Are the dogs spayed or neutered? If the male is unneutered that is very likely a large part of your marking problem and I suggest scheduling as soon as possible with your vet to correct that problem. Neutering him if he is not already will not be an instant cure but it should help greatly towards ultimately correcting the issue.

When training my dog... as soon as she starts to try and go on the carpet... you run over... scoop them up and carry them outside to the spot they should go. When they go... you praise them a whole bunch and give them a treat. This SHOULD work... but not always... as shazamataz already stated. Cheers!

No and I don't have the money to do that.

I don't have any carpet and even if you take them outside they come back in and pee and poop.

Whether you have carpet you'll need the enzyme cleaner to clean up where they went in the house. We can't smell it but they can. That's why that cleaner is so important. If you catch your dogs going in the house, clap your hands or make some kind of a distracting noise so they stop going and take them right back outside. You have to be consistent and patient. Give them LOTS of praise when they do go outside, immediately after they go. If you wait until you get inside you just gave them treats for coming in the house. Also make sure you're letting them out after eating, naps and playtimes (the times they will almost always need to go).

On a side note, you should really find a way to get your dogs fixed. It prevents a lot of health issues down the road and then you don't end up with unplanned puppies.

Thank for the advice and I will try that!!
