Hello I have a female jack russle she is around 10 months I have had her for four.
She is a really loving dog with a great tempement but she continues to do the toilet in the house, I can have her out for hours on end in the park on a walk anything and very rarely will she do the toilet but as soon as we get in the house she does it. Its becoming very frustraten I have tried everything with her and I'm running out of options I would really hate to have to give her away but she is wrecking the house with it. Please someone give me some help with her? Thanks a lot xx

Lots of people have this problem. It can be for a lot of reasons.
How are you trying to train him?
Owners sometimes let the dog get away with peeing and pooping on the floor, do NOT let that happen. You are the boss. It's OK the yell at him and give him a spank on the but. You have o teach him right and wrong.
What I would do is when he poops or pees on the floor,put his nose to it (so he knows exactly what your talking about and that you are mad) spank his butt and say/yell, pody outside!
Then let him out side and say outside!
When he is out side you can encourage him, say go poddy. Make the message clear.
People love their dogs and think it is mean an wrong to spank. But you have to make them understand. It's not like your beating your dog and he's whimpering all the time and flinching away from you every time you move your hand next to him, now THAT would be VERY wrong.
In my house I have two back doors. My dogs are trains so that when I say outside they run to the second door and wait to be clipped to a leash that's atached to a lead so they can do their business without me even having to be out with them.
Hope I was of some help :)

As the above person advised, NEVER rub a dogs nose in it, it does not teach them anything, only that you are being mean to them, nothing more.

Here is some information from my dog training website:

When toilet training a puppy you have two options.
Start training the pup to go do their business outside from the start, or get them to use puppy training pads.

Puppy training pads are cloth pads with a plastic backing, they encourage your dog to relieve themselves in one area only without damaging your carpet.

Puppies are most likely to urinate straight after eating and when they wake up after a nap. They are most likely to defacate 10-20 minutes after they have eaten a meal. (This is a guide only, it may be different with each dog)

After the puppy has woken up or eaten take it straight over to the puppy pad and place it on there, if the puppy relieves itself give it lots of praise and make sure that it knows it has been good and done the right thing.
If you are training your dog to go outside from the start then the same rule applies, but instead of taking your dog to a pad, you take it outside on the grass.
You will learn the warning signs of when your dog is going to potty in your house (sniffing the ground, doing circles etc) and you will know that it is looking for the 'best spot' to potty, this is the time to rush your pup outside.
If your dog has an accident on your floor do not rub it's nose in it or hit it, just simply say "no" in a growly voice and move it to where it is supposed to go.

Always remember to PRAISE good behavior and ignore bad behavior.

Keep persevering, just keep on trying.

Practice practice practice is the key :)

This is the absolute worst thing you can do.

Never strike an animal, or yell. Yelling isn't effective, a dog doesn't understand what you're saying, it's a dog, not a person.

In order to get results you have to teach the dog the way a dog would. They don't understand that peeing in the house is bad, until you teach them.

Patience, calm, lots of praise, that's the way to go.

Never ever strike an animal. Never!

Seems like you got read the riot act fr good reason. DId you figure out what your doing wrong?

Also, if you catch him doing his business inside, grab the skin of his neck as well as the leash and lead him outside. Momma puppy controls her puppies by the neck. They can pick them up and move them if they have to. They understand that behavior.

Don't hit animals.
