Question

I have two 8 week old bull mastive puppies,how do i get them to stop going to the bathroom in the house?

Answer 1

A puppy is like a baby. He will relieve himself anywhere, anytime. Because a newly adopted adult dog is unfamiliar with your home, he may not understand where he should "go"! Housetraining, or teaching your dog to go outside to relieve himself, is an important lesson your dog must learn.
It is up to you, the new parent, to housetrain your new puppy or dog with patience, love and understanding.
CRATE TRAINING
In the wild, wolves live in a den or cave. It is important the entire wolf pack keep this area clean. The same idea works with your family pet. Your dog’s crate is his home, his bedroom. It is likely that your dog will not like to soil his bed. Therefore, he will wait until he is let out to do his business.
HOUSETRAINING WITH YOUR CRATE
On average, puppies can hold their bladders one hour for every month they have been alive, plus one hour. For example, if you have a three month old puppy, he can wait 3 + 1 = 4 hours. If you work longer than this, the best solution is to have someone (a neighbour, a relative, a dog walker) come in at an appropriate time to let your dog out.

100 PER CENT SUPERVISION
Supervision is the key to housetraining! While you are at home, your dog must be supervised. Whether you are watching television, making dinner, on the phone or on the computer, your puppy must be watched. While it sounds like an impossible task, it isn’t. Keeping the crate in a social part of the house makes it easier. Using a house lead – a small, thin lead with a little clip on it – also helps immensely. Outside, you put a lead on your dog so you can control him. If the lead is removed after returning home, control is lost. For example, when watching television, have the lead tied to a couch leg. Your dog can have his blanket and toys with him. He’ll feel safe and comfortable. The majority of accidents happen when your pup wanders off and you haven’t noticed. You don’t want him to sneak off into the kitchen and find a puddle a short time later. If your pup is kept from wandering, the possibility of an accident is diminished because he will not eliminate where he is sitting. 100 per cent supervision means ensuring your dog is playing with you, in his crate, outside or on his house lead.

SCHEDULING
In the morning, take your dog outside. He should urinate and possibly have a bowel movement. Spend about five to seven minutes with him and then bring him in. Do not play with him yet. Feed him breakfast, either in the crate or with the lead, and supervise it. If your pup did not have a bowel movement earlier, take him back outside about 15 minutes after he has eaten. Use the lead to keep your pup moving along while outside. Otherwise, he may start sniffing, stopping and playing to avoid the job at hand. You can say “hurry up” and your dog will begin to associate these words with the task at hand. Praise him excessively when he has eliminated. Bring him back in the house and place him in his crate if you are going to work. Continue to supervise him with the crate or the lead if you are home. When returning after being out, go directly to the crate, let him out, praise him and put him back in. Feed him his meal, take him outside 15 minutes after he has eaten, praise him after he eliminates, and bring him back in. Continue to follow the same steps consistently.

While you are home, you should take your pup outside on a regular basis. Even if your pup is in a crate or on a house lead, he still needs the opportunity to eliminate. Also, be careful what you wish for! A pup who barks to go outside may be cute and clever now. However, you must try not to fall into the habit of leaping up every time your dog wants in or out. It is a very submissive gesture on your part. Have your pup wait a moment or two.

Setting up a schedule is also a good idea. If your pup is under four months of age, take him out for five minutes every hour on the hour. If your pup is over four months old, take him out every second hour on the hour. The schedule will help you remember when to take him out. Go out for five minutes only. It provides the opportunity to eliminate even if your pup may not need to go. Take your dog out after active play and also after napping. If an accident occurs, you may have forgotten to take him out .

FEEDING TIME
Having a puppy drink a lot of water and then placing him in his crate is much more unkind than letting him be a bit thirsty for an hour or two. Adult dogs should have access to drinking water at all times. However, this is not the case for untrained pups. Most parents will not allow their children to drink a big glass of water before going to bed. Avoid setting your pup up for failure. Restrict his water intake to three or four drinks daily and make sure you remove the water dish about three hours before bedtime. This will help your dog sleep more comfortably.

If it is a hot evening, supply your pup with a few ice cubes. They will enter your dog’s system at a slower pace. When feeding your pup, provide a high-quality food that is a good source of protein. The food must be concentrated so your puppy’s body doesn’t require much of it. If you feed less, your puppy eliminates less. Food is directly related to how well puppies do in their housetraining.

EXERCISE
It is important that your pup gets a lot of exercise, especially while crate training. You can play fetch, chase or hide and seek in your home. You can call ‘come’ at the same time to provide further training. Anyway you do it, your pup needs to be able to run and play.

Answer 2

In a secure, fenced in area: it's time for the 8 week old pups to mosey on outside. Bring them in every now and then. If they use the bathroom on the house floor, out they go.

Eventually, they'll get the idea on what to do and let you know when they need to potty OUTSIDE.

Answer 3

Hopefully you prepared before you got them. You need an area to keep them when you are not able to take them out. They shouldn't have the run of the house until you can watch them. Put down potty pads and take them out a lot. Praise them when they go. Don't make a big deal when they go in the wrong spot. Good luck.

Answer 4

when they piddle in the floor,clean it up with an old rag and then take it outside,away from the house and hang it in a bush.Dogs can smell their own waste and they will go to the door and whine when they have to go! and then they'll hunt that bush! That has always worked for me but you still have to take them out and when they piddle outside make sure to give a treat and praise.If the rag in the bush doesn't work for them,you can buy training pads at Fred Myers or most any pet store, Walgreen's has them too.They are plastic on one side and and....they resemble a pamper! and they will go on that.I used those at night so I wouldn't have to walk at midnight! I don't use them in the day time if I am at home because who wants to smell doggy doo eeewww!

Answer 5

puppies should never be allowed to run unsupervised in the house. they should either be with you or in their crate. dogs do not like to poop where they sleep, so they more than likely will not go while crated. and if they are under your supervision you will catch them in the act if they try to mess in the house - you then say "no" very loudly & carry them outside, to the same area each time.

potty training is based on continuity & positive reinforcement. when they go potty outside, go nuts - dance & sing & praise them & give cookies & make a big scene that they are the best pet ever. keep them on a very consistent feeding schedule, and don't switch back & forth between front door / back door / side door for going outside.

don't ever yell at them for a mess that you did not catch them doing - it doesn't make sense to them that you are yelling at them for a poop they did 30 minutes ago on your living room rug.

it sounds mean to keep them crated or under your watchful eye - if it helps, you can also leash them to you while they are free in the house. this does 2 things: it keeps them from sneaking off to make a poop in another room, and it promotes a good bond between the two of you.

good luck! ignore mean or stupid responses. :)

Answer 6

Maintain constant vigilance, and take him outside once every twenty minutes if you can. Bring treats with you and if he takes care of business, give him one. After he goes a couple of times, extend the wait to every half hour, then forty-five minutes and so on. If you're not there, put him in a crate. I know it's hard, and they'll cry, but they get used to it pretty quick.

Answer 7

You need to paper train him..Put him in a small room with paper on the floor. make sure you take him out frequently..praise him for going outside or "telling" you he needs to.
