House Training Older Dogs

Here is a recent question from a subscriber about her older dog.

I KNOW how to crate train a puppy.   This is a rescue dog, 7 year old, male lab/mix that spent his life outside on a leash.  He barely even knows his name.   He is urinating on EVERYTHING, lawn furniture, and he is marking in the house and I can’t have this at all & I can’t watch him 24/7.

I also have a 5 year old purbred choc. Lab female that I have housetrained & I’ve raised a puppy for Guiding Eyes for the blind for the first 8 months of his training.     I don’t know ho to teach an older dog…………

Thank you ~Nancy
