If you take the puppy out, you have to stay with him/her until the job is done. That way, the puppy begins to associate peeing/defacating outside with reward, which is you saying 'good dog' and giving him/her a treat of some kind. Dogs learn far better with positive reinforcement than with a slap on the head.

There are even some breeds who 'remember' that slap on the head and when they get older, will pay you back.

I took my puppies out every half hour, need it or not. It took a few weeks for them to train, depending on how smart they were.

Shih-tzus are very tough to train. They don't like getting their feet wet, which is hard because we live in Washington State, which is very wet, most of the time.

At night, I kept the puppy in a small kennel, because they don't shit where they sleep.

Whenever I went out, the puppy would go into the kennel, so I didn't have to come home to a mess.

Once the puppies trained, that's when they were allowed human privileges, like sleeping in bed with us.

If that fails or you're thinking you don't want to do this, then your local animal shelter is probably the best chance this puppy has for a normal life.

But..to drive your puppy ten miles away...I know that's just frustration talking....and it's understandable...but...don't..please...it's not a good thing to do. It doesn't offer them any chance at any kind of life....just a slow death.

Good luck to you. The time you spend is worth it, in the end...'cause dogs..when they love you...it's forever.

Wow.

That was creepy.

My dog's name is Raven.

But this was a good post.
