Sometimes they will cry and circle around even as a puppy. Once in a great while you will even find a puppy that goes straight for the door and cries. If it is an older dog that you have adopted they may go to the door or even an older dog will whimper sometimes. The best solution to potty training a puppy that I've found is right after they have their meal and a drink afterwards it is time to scoop them up and/or lead them outside and repeatedly speak in a calm, loving firm voice, Puppy Potty or "Spot" Potty. And when the dog does go, praise, praise, praise him/her. Repeatedly and in a happy type voice, tell them they are a "Good Dog" or What a Good Boy/Girl. You can also reward appropriate behavior right away or once you get back in the house with a milk bone or other treat. Any of these suggestions have worked well with both puppies and older dogs that I have adopted. Good luck with your new friend if you recently acquired one! :~)

If your dog is house train then it should either stand in front of the door, bark and move to the door, etc... If your dog is not house train then it will just go everywhere. Also, dogs like to sniff around to find a spot before they go.

Most puppies start by sniffing the ground. They may circle. Then they either squat (to pee) or hunch over (to poop). Very young male puppies do not lift a leg, the either squat or just spread their legs a little and pee standing up. Observe your puppy closely. Each puppy is a little different. Watch what he does when he prepares to go while outside at the designated potty area. Remember that during toilet training you should be going out with him and keeping him on leash. This is important so you can praise him for going in the right place, and so you can prevent him from goofing around instead of getting down to business. Later on, when he's toilet trained, you can let him out in a fenced yard to do his business on his own, but at first you need to help him establish good habits. When he is inside, either keep him in the same room with you and your eyes on him, or secure him in a puppy safe area that is easy to clean. Do not give him free access to the house and expect him to come and tell you he needs to go until he is older and reliable in toileting habits.

Depends on the dogs training and intelligence which vary greatly. A dog that is properly house trained will show signs of distress such as barking or whining and standing by the door or scratching at it, some will even bring you their leash. Others will simply just go with no warning.

So if you have been asked to take care of a dog whose owners and habits you do not know, the safe thing to do is assume they need a bathroom break at least every couple of hours and start by giving them an outing immediately and then every couple of hours afterward.

Dogs use their urine as boundary markers so they may not necessarily drain themselves dry as you might suppose. Their metabolic rate is fairly high so they are going to be producing waste fairly often even though some well trained animals can hold it in for quite a while. Also, dogs often eliminate right after eating or drinking. When they start sniffing the floor, it's a sign they're choosing a place to go. Get them outside quickly.

Dogs will most often relieve themselves shortly after they eat. Sniffing the ground (or the floor) is an indication that they're scouting out a place to go. If you're trying to housetrain a dog, get them outside as soon as you notice them sniffing about - you won't have long to intervene. Once a dog understands that you approve of him going some places and not others, he'll find ways to communicate to you that he needs to go.

Trained: When your dog wants to pee he starts crying or scraching the door if trained or if it has to go really bad it cries or goes up to you and starts to scratch your leg.

Nontrained: pees all over the floor or goes to a certain place and just pees
