Does Don Sullivan's training program include house training? Trying to train my dog to go outside. No luck so far.

It does not.

What are you doing to train and how old, breed, temperment is the dog/puppy? Rescue or had since puppy. Petstore purchase, if so how old at purchase? Crate trained?
Common pitfalls:
Free feeding or irregular schedule
Allowing loose inside, run of the house
Not watching the dog/knowing the signals
Not Crate training


Not crazy about Don Sullivan's methods. A lot of negative consequences, very little reward based training. Collar is a plastic version of a prong collar - no way!

If your dog is a puppy it takes forever it seems. Just keep trying.
If you have to take the poo and place it in the yard. then I would do that.
Or if there is a rug that means not that much they have pee''d on then place that in the yard
Sometimes straw is a good thing to place in a circle in the back yard, they seem to like to urinate on it. If your dog is a male then place a wood log in the upright position to give him something to mark.
Using a crate when you can not watch him every sec is also a good tool.
hang in there.
