    4 1/2 Month Old Choc Lab not housebroke
    I have a 4 1/2 month old choc lab and I can't get her housebroken. She has been in a crate since she was 5 weeks old.. she will let us know when she needs to go out and then times we will have her out for 25 minutes or so and she will come right in and pee and run because she knows she was wrong... she quit using the bathroom in her crate about 2 weeks ago... any suggestions on what I can do to get her housebroke

    One thing that could make a big difference is don't let her out. Take her out and walk her around. Exercise stimulates the body into relieveng itself. They can only walk and hold it so long. When she finally goes, lavish praise on her. There is more that may help in the sticky at https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/in...tml#post251809

    It is not surprising you are having trouble. Better breeders would never let a puppy go at five weeks. Likely she had other poor care before you got her. Sometime I think the sooner you get a puppy away from poor care, the better.
