help I have a six month old dogue de bordeaux and she will not go to the toilet out side tried all sorts you can walker for hours and she will hold it in till she comes home she dose do it on paper but I'm starting to loose my temper any hits   and when she visits my mothers (he has a dog) she wiil do it out side there but only if her dog is about ????

Please excuse my girlfriends vocabulary, poor girl !

Take the paper away and go back to basic puppy training, to start with go with her into the yard and treat her as you would an 8 week pup.

She's reluctant to do it outside because she's still very much a baby and she doesn't want other dogs to know she's there on her own - hence she's OK when your mother's dog is about.  It's something that will come in time - but meanwhile taking the paper away and giving her a biiiig reward when she does it outside (you will be out there with her ofcourse, so you can see what she's doing ;))  Do NOT whatever you do loose your temper, or you'll only reduce her confidence and make the day when she is brave enough to go outside further and further away :)
