The best way to train your dog is to confine the space or create train. If you are leaving for work or any period of time where you cant watch him or take him out put him in his create. He will learn to wait and that the create is his quite place. when you get home reward him and take him out. If you choose to confine the space and take him out reg. then that’s fine too. I think create training is the easiest though.

Potty Training. New Puggle Puppy, Any tips?

I just got a puggle puppy, most adorable thing<3
Shes 9 weeks old, and I need some tips on potty training.
:]

there are certain pads that you can buy at pet stores in which attract the animal with a scent.
first off never scold them for going inside, watch her constantely and if she shows signs of needed to go potty such as sniffing or clawing at the floor simply take her outside if she happens to begin urinating inside push her back legs slightly and she will stop and take her outside.
around 5 minutes after feeding a dog needs to use the restroom usually so take her to the spot and once she does give her a treat and lots of attention. she will learn by repetition however dogs do not understand english and if you scold for going inside she will simply respond as that being attention not understand the words given.
good luck and if will come but it may take up to 6 months.

Anyone have any tips on potty training a puppy?

I have a 9 week old lab mix puppy that is having a lot of accidents in the house. She seems to go potty quite often on the carpeting even after she is taken outside. I have tried taking her to the spot and telling her no and then taking her outside but that doesn’t seem to work. Does anyone have any suggestions or helpful tips that they have had success with?

At 9 weeks, she’s still really young, so you’re going to have to be patient.

You want to try to praise for positive actions . . . remember positive reinforcements.

Make sure that you have a consistent schedule. Try to be around her as much as possible. If you can’t be with her, put her in the crate. Pay attention to her cues as to when she needs to go.

When you take her out, put her on a leash and wait until she goes . . . however long it takes. As soon as she goes, praise her and give her a treat. Then let her off her leash to play.

If she keeps tending back to the same spot on the carpet, you may have to use an enzymatic cleaner to get the smell out.

puppy potty training tips?

Please give me tips on how to train my puppy to potty outside, please provide links that give information on potty training or books I could read online on how to potty train a puppy

HOW TO TOILET TRAIN A PUPPY/

If you have been using puppy pads, it is more difficult to train your puppy to toilet outside. It must be taken into your garden/yard every hour, after it eats or drinks and when it wakes up after a nap. You should also take it out just before you go to bed, every time you see it eliminate you must praise your puppy. I use a catch phrase when my puppy has a pee, I say get one while it is urinating and big job when it passes faeces. If you do this your dog will pee on command when it is older. (Unless its bladder is empty)

You should set your alarm and try to take your puppy out about twice during the night. If like me you are a heavy sleeper and you dont trust yourself to wake up, take the lazy way out. My puppys sleep in the laundry room until they are toilet trained, during the day I dip newspapers into the urine which it has passed in the garden and put these on top of a thick pad of newspaper at night, they are drawn to this because of the smell and they will pee on this during the night. Nevertheless I go to bed very late and get up very early when I have a puppy.

Eventually your puppy will go to the door when it knows that it wants to eliminate. In spite of the fact that I leave newspapers down at night my puppys are clean from an early age. However they are like babies, they have no control until they are older. Regardless of how diligent you are your puppy could still have an accident in the house during the day, it you see it stooping or peeing, pick it up and let it finish in the garden/yard.

Jack Russel puppy potty training?

i just got a new jack russel puppy anyone know any good potty training tips and tricks or websites on puppy training

Establishing a routine with your dog is essential to good training. Your routine should include feeding times, bathroom breaks, playtimes, training and timeouts. Having a young pup is just like having a small child when it comes to potty training. Young pups, just like young children have very underdeveloped bladders. A young child does not necessarily know when they need to go to the bathroom until they are doing it. The same thing applies to your young pup. If only it was as easy to control your pups peeing on the floor as it is to control your childs peeing on the floor. Your child generally wears a diaper if they are not potty trained, but putting a diaper on your pup is very impractical and darn near impossible. How long do you think a diaper would actually last on your pups backside before it is ripped off and shredded? If your pup is anything like mine, about 30 seconds. There is an easy way to know when your pup may need to go to the bathroom. Depending on your pups water intake, and amount of exercise, this chart can help you keep your floors and carpets protected from your pets bathroom habits. Approximate age to hours your pup is able to hold their bladders starting at 8 weeks of age, (General time your pup will enter your home to begin your lives together.) 8 -12 weeks of age (2 – 3 months of age) = 30 mins 12 – 16 weeks of age (3 – 4 months of age) = 45 mins to 1 hour 16 – 24 weeks of age (4 – 6 months of age) = 11/2 to 3 hours 24 – 36 weeks of age (6 – 9 months of age) = 31/2 to 6 hours 36 + weeks of age (9 months to 1 year+) = 6 to 10 hours These times may vary with your dog. Different breeds mature at different times in their life. A small breed dog matures faster than a large breed dog, so your large breed dog may need more frequent bathroom-breaks. It is always a good practice to take your pup out every 30mins to 1hour when you are home, even when they are older. Repeatedly letting your dog out will solidify your training efforts. When training your pup to go to the bathroom outside it is good to establish a routine as well as some familiar words to coach your pup into the right behavior. Every time you take your pup outside to go to the bathroom use the same spot as much as possible. The familiar smell of their urine will help them recognize that this is the spot to go. When you take your pup outside to ‘go’, say to your pup, "Go pee." or some other similar phrase over and over again until they actually start to go. With using this phrase over and over again the dog comes to realize that this word means to ‘go pee’ and you will have a dog that will pee almost on command. When they start to ‘go’ use the phrase again with a ‘good dog’ added. Give your pup lots of praise when they are done and possibly a treat. Praise is one of the most useful training tools you can use. Dogs respond better to praise than yelling. Just like us, dogs like to be praised for something they do right and strive to achieve praise. With established potty times, using the ‘go pee’ words and lots of praise your pup will come to understand where it is acceptable to ‘go pee’ and where it is not. This will make your life a lot easier and your bond between you and your dog will grow stronger. You should never give your pup the full run of the house, even when you are home, and never when your not home. Set up a medium to large crate for your pup in your house. If you dont have a crate, a bathroom or laundry room will do, any place in the house that has easy to clean floors. Place towels or blankets, food and water bowls, a few toys and newspaper or absorbent doggy pads in your dogs space. This area should be warm and inviting to your dog. Just like us, your dog needs its own area to relax. Giving them this space gives your dog a place to go when things become stressful for them, like when you have company over that may be to loud for them. This will also restrict the area your pup has to make a mess. It is against a dogs nature to urinate or defecate in the same area they sleep in. Give your dog a big enough space so that they can do their business away from their sleeping area. Some people take their pups out for long walks to tire them out before they leave them home alone. Extra exercise requires extra water intake, which will increase your pups urination and accidents in the home when left alone. If you feel the need to exercise your pup before you go out, do this a good hour and a half to two hours before you plan to leave. Let your pup out a few times before you leave to make sure they have emptied their bladder as much as possible. Remember your pup will have accidents, but with a little time and effort you will have a happy new addition to your family and a clean comfortable home.

Any tips on Potty Training a Yorkshire terrier puppy?

I just got this Yorkshire Terrier, But she is not doing well with potty training. I am trying to house train her with diaper pads and i might try a litter box which is what a lot of Yorkies use. Any tips would be appreciated.

I’ve had the same trouble with my Yorkie…he’s been a nightmare! I tried to crate him in a small crate and he just kept on toileting in there then lying in it! I tried the pads and he just wouldn’t use them at all. I have house rabbits and they have two trays…he started to wee in them, so I thought I would give him his own litter tray…..he wouldn’t use it!!! used to get in it to sleep but still wees in the rabbit try if I’m not looking. It might sound ideal but it’s not very good for the rabbits to have a dog urinating on their hay!.

Eventually I had most luck with just putting him outside every hour and making him stay out there until he went to the toilet…sometimes he would just sit there for ten minutes. Strange thing is that he goes all night without doing anything, even cries every morning at 7am until I get up and let him outside to toilet, but during the day he is still having ‘accidents’ even though he goes on three walks per day and multiple trips to the garden. My advice would be to persevere with toilet trips outside every hour, I think all dogs eventually get the idea that they have to go outside and outside only, but some take longer than others! It took my sisters labrador 18 months!

Tips- Potty Training Puppy?

potty training tips for a chihuahua puppy?

just got an 8 mon. old chihuahua, and potty training tips, hopefully from chihuahua owners, I hear chis can be difficult to train

Very difficult to potty train a chihuahua! If I had known just how difficult I think I would have decided on another breed. I have found that consistancy works well. Everytime the dog eats or drinks, take him out even if he does not go. When mine had accidents I would soak them up with paper towels, set the paper towel out in the grass, then let him sniff it outside so he could see that it was ok to pee there. I also keep him in a crate every night while I am sleeping. He likes to sneak around the house pooping and peeing during the night, This was the only way to put a stop to that, and in the morning he would go right out and take care of his buisness. When I leave for a long amount of time I put him in one room so he cant wander the house and place newspapers all over the floor. He somewhat gets the hint if he isnt tearing up the paper to get back at me for leaving. Have patience also, it will take a long time. Good luck!

tips on puppy potty training?

i am about to purchase a puppy for the first time and could really use tips on how to toilet train my little bundle

House Training

House training your dog is simple if you follow a few basic rules. Remember that puppies younger than 10 to 12 weeks have little control. Accidents will always happen when teaching puppies to be clean in the house. Be kind and patient, and reward handsomely all outdoor elimination. Always remember that dogs do what works for them. Make outdoor pottying work really well for your puppy.

1) The puppy must have NO time unsupervised in your home. NONE. If you are not directly watching the puppy, it should be in the crate, or outside in a safe area. You MUST watch the puppy at ALL times when loose in the house. Use baby gates, crates, or tie the leash to your belt.

2) The puppy should sleep inside the crate by your bedside. This way you can hear if the puppy should happen to need to go out during the night.

3) You must go WITH the puppy outside for ALL trips for elimination. You must have treats with you. When the puppy is urinating, say "GO PEE PEE" in a nice praise tone of voice the entire time. When she is finished, pop the treat into her mouth at once, and praise praise praise. This should be something she gets at no other time, like tiny pieces of string cheese or boiled chicken. Same for defecation. Say "GO POOP" while she is going, and food reward and praise afterwards. You must observe and reward ALL outdoor potty time.

4) Keep a schedule. Feed at the same time, and walk outside at the same times. Your pup needs at least 4 trips outdoors each day, and 5 is probably better. Pup needs to go out at wake up time, lunch time, 4-5 PM, after dinner or any other meals, and before bed. Younger puppies may need to go out much more often.

5) Use a key word each time you go out. I say "Let’s go out!!" in a happy tone of voice each time I’m opening the door to go out with the dog.

6) If you catch the puppy IN THE ACT of eliminating in your house, CLAP YOUR HANDS, say AH AH, OUTSIDE!! And immediately rush her outside. If she finishes there, do your usual food reward and praise.

The keys to getting your dog reliably housetrained are:

SUPERVISION: NO loose time in the house if you are not watching

REWARDS: ALL outdoor elimination MUST be observed and rewarded. If you only do this ONE thing, your puppy will get housetrained.

PATIENCE: Anger and punishment have no place in dog training. Elimination is a natural and pleasurable experience for your dog. You can teach her to not soil your house, but punishment will NOT help. It will only teach the dog to hide when she needs to eliminate.

If you have applied these techniques carefully for 4 weeks and you are still finding spots or piles after the fact, it’s time for stronger measures. Roll up a newspaper and fasten both ends with a rubber band. Keep it handy. The very next time you find a spot of a pile that the dog has left behind, whip out that newspaper, and hit YOURSELF over the head firmly several times as you repeat "I FORGOT TO WATCH MY PUPPY".

Works every time.
