Your Scottie, like other dogs, may try this “hiding ruse” because while trying to potty train their dog many owners punish them after they have done the toilet in the house. But that is no good; they need to be caught in the act.
But you don’t need to rub your dog’s nose in it like many suggest! Your Scottie needs to learn to trust you, not fear you, or he will never learn. Never scold your dog for doing the toilet in the house as he does not know any better. We did the toilet in our diapers until we were potty trained because there was nothing else we could do about it. When we needed, we went. Well, dogs are the same. No dog is properly toilet trained until he is about 6 months old, so it is a lengthy procedure, but a great one when the end results start to show!
Most dogs when they need the toilet will start to get restless and start sniffing around. This is when you pick them up and take them outside. When they are really young, you should take him outside at least once every hour.
The first obstacle in potty training dogs is to teach your Scottie how to go on command. You can do this inside the house, then work your way up to teaching him to do it outside. Pick a certain area inside the house, maybe at the back door or something likewise, place a lot of newspaper around the area and every hour or so take him there and tell him to do the toilet, or whatever you want the command to be.
Sooner or later he will do the toilet, but you have to keep a close eye on him around the house so you can see if he is going to do the toilet or not. When you see him go to do the toilet, take him to the paper and tell him your command, then praise him for doing it on the paper. This type of potty training needs a very vigilant handler. When he learns to go on command, try to take him outside instead of the paper; that way he will soon learn that he has to go outside.
