My last frenchie was like that and then all of a sudden bam. I had to keep my little dude inside a hoody so he wouldn't run off and pee somewhere he wasn't supposed to. I'm sure he's gotten it figured out in 11 months.
Thank you. Im so overwhelmed. I just brought home 2.. 8 week old frenchies a few days ago. And i feel like im going through postpartum depression..I love them! So adorable..but this is soo hard. 😫

@zannahmartell9813 hi! My pups just turned 1! June 30th🥳 they are such sweet boys.. One was born with a "spine disorder." I'm not sure of the medical term. We didn't know this till he was about 10 months old.... He is incontinent now of both bowel and bladder and can't feel his back legs.😪 He's not in any pain, and I bought him kid pullups for when he comes inside... and a puppy stroller for walks... May need to get him a back leg wheelchair... x-rays for his condition was over 300.. his Dr. Did say It was something he was born with. MRI was scheduled to determine more info.. but it was between 5 and 7 thousand dollars where we live..and I have no idea how much surgery would be..Crazy Right!!But as long as he is happy and pain free. That's all we care about. ❤️ that was probably alot..
My Frenchies ( I had 2 ) and they were super easy to potty train. Both were house broken in 3 weeks. I have had corgis, Rhodesian ridgebacks, and pit bull terriers. My Frenchies were the easiest to house train . With that said, I had 2 males and one of them wanted to mark his territory in the house after I brought home the second male. I had to watch him all the time to keep him from marking.
AN amazing tip that’s worked for me. BUY a GOOD METAL CRATE … THE one with the divider in the middle for two dogs. The beginning of the training Use one side for their HOME ENVIRONMENT AND the other side put a puppy pad Soon with your training they will only poop on the other side Now you can remove the pad so they can have it memorized. Also they learn to keep their AREA CLEAN. Now you can do the same anywhere in your house Put their bed and wherever and a puppy pad next to the outside door so they know where to go now it’s just teaching them to pee outside so put a pad outside at that point ! Hope this helps !
mine is 8 months old not potty trained frenchie and I'm struggling real hard he doesn't go outside for 2 hours then Pees or shits all over when we get home. Its a nightmare dunno what to do lol
@@radoslavdragnev8797 I get up at 5am go outside till he pees. Then nap in living room till 6am take on short walk 3-4 blocks then home and he poos Then leave him home for about 4 hours when I go work.

My french bulldog is not fully vaccinated yet so the breeder do not recommend to pee outside the house. How should I try my pet to potty at the potty pad ?
My 6 month old frenchie no matter what I do just still hasn’t got the hang of it I take her out and when she finally goes I praise her but she will come straight in and go, or if we are in the garden we will be there for 40/50 mins and she will go wee I praise her and as soon as she comes in she will go number 2, I’ve also got her crate trained but she will even go toilet in there after we’ve been out for a walk please help!! I would appreciate any advice
You can play with her outside after she goes bathroom so if she needs to go again, she will go outside. That is the only advice I can give you that might be helpful.
Hi Lisa thanks and great video. If you are in an apartment and using the crate with artificial grass as a puppy pad for toilet training, is it good to reward with treats when he goes on the turf as opposed to when he goes outside? Similar to other comments, I am concerned about taking him outside on the grass while he is a puppy and will likely use the artificial turf for a short time until getting his second vaccine
This may be a silly question, but when you say to take the dog out every 1 or 2 hours depending on how many months old, does this include throughout the night. Thanks
No not a silly q. I don’t do overnight because they aren’t active at night and I take away water a few hours before bed. That being said a young puppy from 8-10 weeks may need to go out still one time. That’s just for a few weeks though :)
so I have been very diligent taking my frenchie out every hour for potty training and watching his queues. We haven't done crate training, but he just pee'd in our bed. So is it too late to introduce crate training? I have never had a dog take over a month to get potty training down.
Awesome video! We just got a French is puppy and was advised by vet not to take outside until she receives all vaccinations...we live in a condo so we do not have access to a private grassy area...the vet recommended we weewee pad train for the next few weeks until Jovie receives her next rounds of vaccs...what’s your opinion on this?
Rather than using the pads to train (which can cause accidents in the future) you can buy fake turf to put over the pad! You want the texture to feel different and the pad feels too similar to the floor.
@@LisaGallegos yes! We actually bought a grass terrain at PetCo for 60.99! I also haven’t watched the video yet and I hope your advice goes thoroughly! 🤞
Getting ready to get a female Frenchie. She's four months and I work overnight. Should I take her out in the morning and evening before work? Enjoyed your video
Hi Lisa, I have a french bulldog who is all most 4 months old. She is my first puppy. And Im having trouble walking her. When I put the leach on her she just sits and when I start to walk she resist how can I get her to stop that and walk with me.
I AM IN TEARS RIGHT NOW!!!! Luther DOES potty outside but then he turns around & does it inside!!! I am using a crate too. I'm in a beautiful rent home with carpet throughout. I can't do this! :"(
How’s it going? In the same boat. Have a 4 month old. Have been consistently doing all the things mentioned for 2 months, but he pees inside even if he peed a lake outside 5 minutes before. Feel like the poor guy is spending his life in the crate. Can’t trust him to walk around the house for even 10 minutes. He has a dog door & knows how to use it but doesn’t associate going out the dog door with peeing. He seems to only go out to check the weather. Most frustrating pup potty training experience ever. I read a lot of posts about Frenchies being hard & thought, “I’ve trained all my past pups easily-won’t happen to me.” WRONG! So much for doing all the right things for 2 weeks & then having a trained pup. Trainers make it sound so easy, but it isn’t always. You’re not alone. :(
This might be a silly question but if I am crate training during potty training should I put a pee pad in the crate in case there is accidents? I only have to leave her for MAX 3 hours once a week from when she is 12 weeks-15 weeks then I have off from school, hence why I got her during this time of the year. I want to be able to keep her crate clean but I don't want the pee pad to confuse her that the crate is an OK place to use the bathroom. And now i'm wondering if I should not use pee pads at all except for in her play pen, not specifically her crate, when i'm gone for that 3 hr period.
I’d recommend a puppy gate around the crate! Then put a grass patch (ideally real but fake works too) in the gated area :) I don’t really recommend pee pads just because they feel pretty similar to the floor which can cause issues later.
I just got a 5 month old frenchie! He is having a lot of stomach issues! Can you recommend a diet that is best? I’ve been doing an all natural food & he still has loose stools and gassy!
I would def consult a vet for the correct answer. I personally love Dogsnaturally.com for holistic info. I personally also give my dogs a probiotic, and prebiotic (supersnouts pumpkin latte supplement). And that helped then have good poops! But like I said, I’m not a vet, so you’d wanna double check w them to make sure that works for your dog and there’s not anything else going on!
you would take them outside straight away if you catch them in the act. If you find pee from awhile ago I would just make sure to take him/her outside more to use the bathroom. This is the best advice i could give you.
Mine is a 2 and a half year old and he since i got him when he was 1 year old he has become worse and worse to the point i cant let him out of sight. He poops his crate overnight, like a flood of pee and poop. I am frustrated.
My frenchie is a lunatic runs around when having visitors AND JUMPS ON CHAIRS LIKE TRAMPOLINES need help in calming him down, admittedly not too much walking as pandemic and grieving but I want the best for my pup so help his great potty trained sit and stay paw to some extent but walking he smells everywhere so that can make a 30 min walk nearly an hour , not more HELP.....
Hi Lisa thank you I got a lot of tips thank you. My Frenchie Fiona is doing awesome however she has been doing great peeing outside, pooping better than ok but a smidge harder for her. HOWEVER what the heck she keeps peeing on her bed.......what do you suggest for that? She just randomly does it at play but it is right next to the door and bell I have trained her to use to alert me to go pee or poo......
Little help! My Bunny (7month) french bulldog, she hasnt been potty trained, it was winter and she couldnt go outside when was cold. Now when I take her ouside she is confused
With particular issues like this you might just have to get a potty patch (real grass) until it’s warmer out. Then when it’s warm take her outside so that next winter she knows to quickly go outside and come back in
The feeding and drinking must be on a schedule and as soon as they eat and drink they need to be taken out to potty with a treat in hand so they happily follow you, make sure you are using key words for them like outside potty while you walk them. Once they poop, pee or both give them the treat! This must be done on the same schedule until they get used to potty outside… my pup goes right back into his crate area after his potty and sometimes a quick indoor supervised play. If we wait to long he will sometimes potty while he is on his way to the door… but we still take him out so he can finish. Consistency is key and exhausting but necessary 😅😰😵💫😴
what do you advise for pups that haven't been fully vaccinated yet? I cant take mines outside yet because of that since other animals also use our lawn and don't clean up after their pets.
I really need help training mines! He is totally find while I’m home but when I’m gone he uses the restroom. I’ve tried the create training and it doesn’t work! The problem is when I’m gone he’s stubborn! I need help! He’s perfect up until the potty training
Separate - also to prevent littermate syndrome. There's a good FB group on littermate syndrome, I'd recommend joining. Also, even if they're not 'blood' related this can still.be a possible issue down the road, so best to practice alone time away from one another.
Lisa My 5 month French bulldog puppy is doing outstanding but he just does little piddles right in front of me indoors. Very small piddles. Sometimes fakes it but I don’t yell but tell him NO Bad , He doesn’t care it’s Like he is marking his space. Please tell me that ends
Someone please help. We have rehomed a 6 month old Frenchie and he’s absolutely gorgeous apart from the fact that he refuses to pee or poo while out on a lead. His last home had a secure garden which he could go out and do his business without one on, but round here we don’t have that luxury as our garden is not secured and shared. We are taking him out extremely regularly and still nothing. He’s had one accident because he got over excited and one wee in my Mums secure garden when we visited since yesterday (picked him up at about 12) Don’t know what to do, I don’t want him to getting ill because he’s holding it. 😔
We’ve had dogs for decades. This little 3 month old Frenchie (our first) is not responding to anything we’ve done so far. The difficulty we’re facing is its winter in Chinada (once known as Canada). We’re on 3 acres, so we can take her out 100 feet but the cold triggers her to race to the door, then do her business inside.
I have a frenchy that I have to leave in my kitchen every night because she never pees in the kitchen but if I try leaving her in the living room overnight she will pee on the carpet. When I first got her she was 18 months old and didn’t pee on the carpet but in the last 3 months she’s started peeing. I’m at a loss what to do. 🤷🏻♂️
Can I take my puppy outside to pee on communal grass if she doesn’t have her full parvo vaccines? She needs 1-2 more, she’s gotten 2 so far and she’s 3 months
Sorry I’m confused. You say don’t use the crate for punishment bc they may become scared/start to hide the accidents. But then you say if they don’t use it outside then when you come inside they use it immediately you say to put them in the crate. Would that not make them want to hide it to? Sorry new to the frenchie fam got a 10 wk old trying to learn
She’s saying put them in crate if they don’t pee outside when taken outside, wait in 5 min intervals until pup has peed outside. Instead of punishing for using in the house, clean it up and move on and do better taking them outside and staying diligent.
You've earn a subscriber, I just decovered your page. I've been doing everything you said for 8 straight days. With one exception. I take him out every 3 hours overnight. He's 12 weeks. How long do you suspect it will take before I can give him free range? BTW I take him out every 1 hrs and 20 min.
@ignacioornelas1729 it's going great.. no accidents since week one. We're going out every 1.5 hours during the day. And we've moved up to.4.5 hours overnight.
I have Frenchie pups and live in Florida. ITs about 93deg everyday. Would it be ok to bring them outside for a small amount of time or what would you recommend?
Make sure they dont over heat I wouldnt let them outside on super hot days but if you see them panting or other signs of over heat then place a cool paper towel over them not too cold
Omg I feel like this frenchie I'm trying to train is doing this on purpose. Bc has too smart to not know and he runs to the pad AFTERWARDS AND SIT THERE ON IT OR GO TO SLEEP ON IT
I know it's frustrating, but dogs naturally pee where they feel most comfortable doing it. Remember, dogs are animals, and we have to build that reinforcement history peeing outside. Have you tried doing an intense weekend where you just focus on potty training?
The crate training for potty training has never worked for me. All of mine have been crate trained. But if they need to potty....and they're not trained....THEY WILL use their crate. I'm not sure the part you said about them not wanting to pee on themselves either. They are tiny. And they just came from a home where they literally peed and pooped everywhere and mom was cleaning it up. Maybe when they're older and potty trained, they won't poop or pee in the crate....but little bitties do not know better.
If they come from a puppy mill / situation where they can’t really find a spot not to pee on themselves, the crate won’t work. Or if they’re not taken out soon enough. Or the crate is too big. But it’s not natural/healthy for them to want to pee on themselves while they’re laying down. A good breeder will also start the potty training process.
I've been told not to take our puppy outside until he has had his 12 week old jabs? So do we just start outside once he is 12 weeks old? If so what do we do just use puppy pads inside instead?
Your backyard or right outside your house should be ok. You don’t want to expose them where there has been parvo is the main thing. But having your dog live in a bubble until all their jabs is also going to almost guarantee socialization issues, so it’s a fine balance between physical and mental health. If you have a yard and no parvo exposures you should be ok. Also a grass patch can work, but also make sure you’re enrolling in a puppy socializing class where they disinfect for parvo and everything
Any tips to stop my french bulldog puppy from playing rough with my old dog? My shih tzu is so scared of him and tends to run away from him. I got my frenchie so my shih tzu can have a brother. I''m working on it but i don't know if i'm doing it correctly.
Separate alone time for both :) This is definitely a bit more in depth, and is hard to make a generic video on, since every case is different. I do offer virtual training sessions if you are still looking for help!
What happens when he sees that you don't look the same in the morning? Ops ! Or you simply don't want to think about that? If you want a relationship, then, you should think about not doing that! Unless you want your tears to be enough to clean the dishes!
Remember - if there's an accident, it just means you'll need to monitor more! There is no way around it! Let me know if you have any other questions below...if you found the video helpful, comment HELPFUL so I know :D
The french bulldog is a torture breed and must suffer from the bred restrictions all his life. He cannot lead a normal life. As a rule, the owner has to cope with high veterinary costs. Please do not buy a pug. Do not support the breeding of such sick dogs.
That’s not a good idea as it can cause your dog to be scared to use the bathroom in front of you. Also, it can tarnish your bond with your dog which can cause issues with other behaviors that you were trying to teach.
Help! I've had my Frenchie for a little ober a month. I believe she is 5 months old. The owner beforehand intended on having her be a cashcow and just breeding her, so he pretty much had her in a playpen all day with some peepads laid on the ground. Obviously unacceptable. SHe has peed on beds multiple times and only pees and poops indoors. I walk her pretty often, however sometimes she gets anxious being outside and doesn't want to walk very long. I don't really encounter this problem at night and can walk her for extended periods of time. The problem is that she NEVER pees or poops outside. She loves sniffing. I've seen her pee outside once, and never poop in the time I've had her. ON the plus side, my house has never smelled better since I'm always cleaning, but in turn my powerbill has gone up significantly because I'm doing 5x the laundry. Thank you, and I hope to hear from someone for some much needed help.
Oh man…it’s much harder when they’ve been peeing on themselves in these types of situations. It’s essentially them learning to deal w the trauma of being stuck in the playpen all day and then getting used to it. I would connect with a trainer or even better, a vet behaviorist as they can help with more intense cases like this! I have helped clients with similar issues but it’s hard to help in this format where I don’t do a full intake of your set up/history/etc since it sounds more anxiety related
@@LisaGallegos I'm not sure on what to do. Basically as soon as she wake up, I have a small playpen with pads and she has been pretty good about peeing on them right away, not peeing around the house too often. Her behaviour outside seems to be getting better but still no relief outside. However, I took her to my brother's house, he has a labmix, and she plays and plays with her for hours. She even peed outside (my brother has a pool and backyard, I do not). Not sure if my further explanation helped, but asking a vet seems like the next order of business is to reach out to trainers.
He is literally the most perfect puppy ..... except for the potty training; which simply has me in tears

Did you say what to do if they use it in the house? I know you said don’t punish them so what do you do? Put them outside or what
you would take them outside straight away if you catch them in the act. If you find pee from awhile ago I would just make sure to take him/her outside more to use the bathroom. This is the best advice i could give you.
Mine is a 2 and a half year old and he since i got him when he was 1 year old he has become worse and worse to the point i cant let him out of sight. He poops his crate overnight, like a flood of pee and poop. I am frustrated.
Thanks you so much🥰🥰🤗

Hmmm thx for letting me know! Going to look into this but I can send you a separate link in a few hours when I get home!
My frenchie is a lunatic runs around when having visitors AND JUMPS ON CHAIRS LIKE TRAMPOLINES need help in calming him down, admittedly not too much walking as pandemic and grieving but I want the best for my pup so help his great potty trained sit and stay paw to some extent but walking he smells everywhere so that can make a 30 min walk nearly an hour , not more HELP.....
Hey! This is a pretty big topic to handle in one comment but I do offer 1:1 zoom training sessions if you still need help ❤️
Fantastic! Thank you
How about if I live in a condominium 😅. Can I train the puppy to have a pooping spot
Lisa is super cute... 😏! I love the advice on training too!
aww thanks :)
Hi Lisa thank you I got a lot of tips thank you. My Frenchie Fiona is doing awesome however she has been doing great peeing outside, pooping better than ok but a smidge harder for her. HOWEVER what the heck she keeps peeing on her bed.......what do you suggest for that? She just randomly does it at play but it is right next to the door and bell I have trained her to use to alert me to go pee or poo......
any thoughtss on puppy socialization in a rural area?
Little help! My Bunny (7month) french bulldog, she hasnt been potty trained, it was winter and she couldnt go outside when was cold. Now when I take her ouside she is confused
With particular issues like this you might just have to get a potty patch (real grass) until it’s warmer out. Then when it’s warm take her outside so that next winter she knows to quickly go outside and come back in
The feeding and drinking must be on a schedule and as soon as they eat and drink they need to be taken out to potty with a treat in hand so they happily follow you, make sure you are using key words for them like outside potty while you walk them. Once they poop, pee or both give them the treat! This must be done on the same schedule until they get used to potty outside… my pup goes right back into his crate area after his potty and sometimes a quick indoor supervised play. If we wait to long he will sometimes potty while he is on his way to the door… but we still take him out so he can finish. Consistency is key and exhausting but necessary 😅😰😵💫😴
what do you advise for pups that haven't been fully vaccinated yet? I cant take mines outside yet because of that since other animals also use our lawn and don't clean up after their pets.
I really need help training mines! He is totally find while I’m home but when I’m gone he uses the restroom. I’ve tried the create training and it doesn’t work! The problem is when I’m gone he’s stubborn! I need help! He’s perfect up until the potty training
If you are house training 2 Frenchie puppies at the same time, would you put them in a crate together?
Separate - also to prevent littermate syndrome. There's a good FB group on littermate syndrome, I'd recommend joining. Also, even if they're not 'blood' related this can still.be a possible issue down the road, so best to practice alone time away from one another.
I have a almost ten moth old frenchie. She isn’t potty trained. Lots of accidents inside. She refuses to poop outside. Please help. Any ideas?
Lisa My 5 month French bulldog puppy is doing outstanding but he just does little piddles right in front of me indoors. Very small piddles. Sometimes fakes it but I don’t yell but tell him NO Bad , He doesn’t care it’s Like he is marking his space. Please tell me that ends
I would not yell at him - when is he doing it?!
Someone please help. We have rehomed a 6 month old Frenchie and he’s absolutely gorgeous apart from the fact that he refuses to pee or poo while out on a lead. His last home had a secure garden which he could go out and do his business without one on, but round here we don’t have that luxury as our garden is not secured and shared. We are taking him out extremely regularly and still nothing. He’s had one accident because he got over excited and one wee in my Mums secure garden when we visited since yesterday (picked him up at about 12) Don’t know what to do, I don’t want him to getting ill because he’s holding it. 😔
We’ve had dogs for decades. This little 3 month old Frenchie (our first) is not responding to anything we’ve done so far. The difficulty we’re facing is its winter in Chinada (once known as Canada). We’re on 3 acres, so we can take her out 100 feet but the cold triggers her to race to the door, then do her business inside.
I have a frenchy that I have to leave in my kitchen every night because she never pees in the kitchen but if I try leaving her in the living room overnight she will pee on the carpet. When I first got her she was 18 months old and didn’t pee on the carpet but in the last 3 months she’s started peeing. I’m at a loss what to do. 🤷🏻♂️
How early can we begin potty training frenchies? Is 9 weeks too soon?
Nope I’d do as soon as you pick up from the breeder ☺️
@@LisaGallegos Thank you! Very helpful video!
Can I take my puppy outside to pee on communal grass if she doesn’t have her full parvo vaccines? She needs 1-2 more, she’s gotten 2 so far and she’s 3 months
Sorry I’m confused. You say don’t use the crate for punishment bc they may become scared/start to hide the accidents. But then you say if they don’t use it outside then when you come inside they use it immediately you say to put them in the crate. Would that not make them want to hide it to? Sorry new to the frenchie fam got a 10 wk old trying to learn
She’s saying put them in crate if they don’t pee outside when taken outside, wait in 5 min intervals until pup has peed outside. Instead of punishing for using in the house, clean it up and move on and do better taking them outside and staying diligent.
When you say punishment do you mean spanking or putting them in the kennel
Hello my daughter just got a Frenchy. He will not do his business outside at night when it's dark. Help xxx
You've earn a subscriber, I just decovered your page. I've been doing everything you said for 8 straight days. With one exception. I take him out every 3 hours overnight. He's 12 weeks. How long do you suspect it will take before I can give him free range? BTW I take him out every 1 hrs and 20 min.
how’s it going for you? i’m about to get a 12 month fluffy frenchie female , any tips?
@ignacioornelas1729 it's going great.. no accidents since week one. We're going out every 1.5 hours during the day. And we've moved up to.4.5 hours overnight.
@@quentintraywick1524 i meant to say 3 month old lol
@@quentintraywick1524 12 weeks like you mentioned , i get her tuesday
@@quentintraywick1524 anything i can PM you on? i have i’m gonna have alot of questions lol just got her last night
I have Frenchie pups and live in Florida. ITs about 93deg everyday. Would it be ok to bring them outside for a small amount of time or what would you recommend?
Make sure they dont over heat I wouldnt let them outside on super hot days but if you see them panting or other signs of over heat then place a cool paper towel over them not too cold
how should i punish her when she potties inside? not sure if it matters but she’s 4 months
Omg I feel like this frenchie I'm trying to train is doing this on purpose. Bc has too smart to not know and he runs to the pad AFTERWARDS AND SIT THERE ON IT OR GO TO SLEEP ON IT
I know it's frustrating, but dogs naturally pee where they feel most comfortable doing it. Remember, dogs are animals, and we have to build that reinforcement history peeing outside. Have you tried doing an intense weekend where you just focus on potty training?
@@LisaGallegos
What is an intense weekend potty training? Step by step if you could! 🤘
So since my Frencie keeps peeing in her crate, I should keep her on a leash instead?
Yes! Sorry just seeing this
Assuming your crate is the right size (and not too big)
Less talk and show us the actions. Sometime we understand in visual method. Thanks
thanks for the advice
I am struggling my Frenchie pees outside majority of the time but he can’t stop peeing indoors on my carpet . I’m getting very frustrated with this .
The crate training for potty training has never worked for me.
All of mine have been crate trained.
But if they need to potty....and they're not trained....THEY WILL use their crate.
I'm not sure the part you said about them not wanting to pee on themselves either.
They are tiny. And they just came from a home where they literally peed and pooped everywhere and mom was cleaning it up.
Maybe when they're older and potty trained, they won't poop or pee in the crate....but little bitties do not know better.
If they come from a puppy mill / situation where they can’t really find a spot not to pee on themselves, the crate won’t work.
Or if they’re not taken out soon enough. Or the crate is too big.
But it’s not natural/healthy for them to want to pee on themselves while they’re laying down.
A good breeder will also start the potty training process.
You didn’t mention anything about pad training
I've been told not to take our puppy outside until he has had his 12 week old jabs? So do we just start outside once he is 12 weeks old? If so what do we do just use puppy pads inside instead?
Your backyard or right outside your house should be ok. You don’t want to expose them where there has been parvo is the main thing. But having your dog live in a bubble until all their jabs is also going to almost guarantee socialization issues, so it’s a fine balance between physical and mental health. If you have a yard and no parvo exposures you should be ok. Also a grass patch can work, but also make sure you’re enrolling in a puppy socializing class where they disinfect for parvo and everything
Damn I thought I was the only one 😅 help 😭🤣
Any tips to stop my french bulldog puppy from playing rough with my old dog? My shih tzu is so scared of him and tends to run away from him. I got my frenchie so my shih tzu can have a brother. I''m working on it but i don't know if i'm doing it correctly.
Separate alone time for both :) This is definitely a bit more in depth, and is hard to make a generic video on, since every case is different. I do offer virtual training sessions if you are still looking for help!
Look at this....
# Kimchi the French bulldog actually uses a human toilet
What happens when he sees that you don't look the same in the morning? Ops ! Or you simply don't want to think about that? If you want a relationship, then, you should think about not doing that! Unless you want your tears to be enough to clean the dishes!
I um. I don’t even wanna know what this is.
Remember - if there's an accident, it just means you'll need to monitor more! There is no way around it! Let me know if you have any other questions below...if you found the video helpful, comment HELPFUL so I know :D

Haye kinni Soni hai tu Lisa
The french bulldog is a torture breed and must suffer from the bred restrictions all his life. He cannot lead a normal life. As a rule, the owner has to cope with high veterinary costs. Please do not buy a pug. Do not support the breeding of such sick dogs.
Rub their nose in it thats what i done and he never done it again show them whos boss
That’s not a good idea as it can cause your dog to be scared to use the bathroom in front of you. Also, it can tarnish your bond with your dog which can cause issues with other behaviors that you were trying to teach.
@@LisaGallegos well he peed on my carpet about 2 month ago was the only time he done it and hasnt done it since
Help! I've had my Frenchie for a little ober a month. I believe she is 5 months old. The owner beforehand intended on having her be a cashcow and just breeding her, so he pretty much had her in a playpen all day with some peepads laid on the ground. Obviously unacceptable. SHe has peed on beds multiple times and only pees and poops indoors. I walk her pretty often, however sometimes she gets anxious being outside and doesn't want to walk very long. I don't really encounter this problem at night and can walk her for extended periods of time. The problem is that she NEVER pees or poops outside. She loves sniffing. I've seen her pee outside once, and never poop in the time I've had her. ON the plus side, my house has never smelled better since I'm always cleaning, but in turn my powerbill has gone up significantly because I'm doing 5x the laundry. Thank you, and I hope to hear from someone for some much needed help.
Oh man…it’s much harder when they’ve been peeing on themselves in these types of situations. It’s essentially them learning to deal w the trauma of being stuck in the playpen all day and then getting used to it. I would connect with a trainer or even better, a vet behaviorist as they can help with more intense cases like this!
I have helped clients with similar issues but it’s hard to help in this format where I don’t do a full intake of your set up/history/etc since it sounds more anxiety related
@@LisaGallegos I'm not sure on what to do. Basically as soon as she wake up, I have a small playpen with pads and she has been pretty good about peeing on them right away, not peeing around the house too often. Her behaviour outside seems to be getting better but still no relief outside. However, I took her to my brother's house, he has a labmix, and she plays and plays with her for hours. She even peed outside (my brother has a pool and backyard, I do not). Not sure if my further explanation helped, but asking a vet seems like the next order of business is to reach out to trainers.
Mine keeps peeing on the dog beds. Like why?
will this work with a frenchie and doberman mix?
Yes :) what a cute mix
