how do Ipotty train my pup to go out side and not in the house she is 8 weeks old?

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

I have traines several dogs to potty outside, and the trick is treat them like you would a child who is potty training. Do not strick, push, belittle, or say Bad Boy/Girl. They can tell by the tone in your voice if you approve or disapprove of their behavior.
The easiest way to train to go out side is to take them every hour even if they are asleep you may have to carry them some I have had to, and walk around with them let them follow you they may not go right away as you get to the place you want them to go on. So walking around stimulates their kidneys. And remember they have very small kidneys and bladder and this can only hold so much. I trained my children the same way carring them to the bathroom in the middle of the night my children were potty trained by the time they were 13 months old. A dog you can have trained in about a month maybe 6 weeks at the most.

Answer 3

I have found the old fashioned way is the best way to train a puppy. I train the dog to go on newspaper in the house. As soon as he/she has that mastered I move the paper outside and show the puppy where it is, so it can smell its own scent. When he/she goes in the house I swat its back end with a rolled up newspaper (it does not hurt, the noise is what scares the dog) and say no-no, and bring it outside and show it the newspaper. I have used this method for all of my dogs and they have been trained within a week. Also watch the puppy and when you know he is looking for a place to go take him outside. When he/she goes outside give him lots of praise and loving and keep telling he/she what a good dog they are. I have always had happy, healthy, spoiled dogs.

Answer 4

Buster was my first pet. I got him in January 2002. He was seven weeks old. I too was new to potty training, so I bought books at Pet smart. But you can find books on training at all book stores, more than likely. I learned that the best way is to start young. It can be an inconvenience at first, but it will make your life easier latter. As a rule most pups will need to eliminate within 30 minutes of eating. As they get older the time they can hold it will increase. Making it easier to trust them at home alone, while you work or do other people things. So plan on taking him/her for a walk and let them sniff around so they can find a spot they will most likely use again. Say things like puppy go po po, pee pee, or whatever works to get them to understand that these words mean it is time to go outside to the potty. Remember too, pups are eager to please, so don't get mad and yell any negative words that may make them fear you or the process. NEVER rub their nose in their elimination. Thank God your parents didn't do this to you as a baby. They might have an accident, so keep cool and just take them out side and with more time and patients they will learn. Be sure to keep them on a leash. This way you can keep them out of places they may get hurt and to keep them from running out into the street. This also gives them a sense of security. Plus this way, (very important) you can praise their accomplishments. Good puppy. In addition, you can use the crate method; which is to put them into a cage, (you can buy at your local pet supply store), that is just enough room for them to stand and lay down comfortably. Logic being that they tend not to eliminate were they sleep. But accidents can happen. Don't worry they will learn. Most of all, give them lots of hugs and love and they will never complain, (that your feet smell, you have bad breath, over weight, can't cook or clean house, or anything we humans think we do best (like singing or dancing)). I hope this helps. So be good to your very best friend. OK?

Answer 5

You have to be consistent. She needs to be walked (on a leash) every two hours from six in the morning until ten at night...and when she's in bed, expect her to piddle in a corner at least twice at night. So be sure her bedding can be changed or laundered every day...

When she goes out, don't bring her back in until she does her business. Immediately heap praise on her, telling her what a good, good girl she is, and pet and cuddle her. Do this consistently, and she'll begin to get the idea. When she has an "accident" indoors, NEVER punish her. Simply point to the "accident" and say "Bad girl. Bad" in a disappointed tone - do NOT scream at her, just use that tone of voice once and clean up her mess. Then as soon's she's taken a drink of water, take her for a walk, and repeat the performance once she does it outside.
This may take three or four weeks of DAILY effort on your part, but it will pay off. As she matures, she will naturally begin to find doing it indoors offensive and will start to ask to go out by going to the door and looking searchingly at you - you can even teach her to go get her leash and bring it to you when she needs to go.
Some dogs develop the habit of asking to go out by adding a little yip or bark while at the door waiting for you.

Good luck with your puppy.

Answer 6

Hi ! The best way to potty train your pup is to get a box that is only big enough for him to lay in but too high to climb out of. Keep him in the box when asleep, watching tv, basically anytime you are not going to give him your undivided attention but always near you. When he whines to get out or stars sniffing the box floor, take him out to a certain spot(always take him to the same spot) and when he goes praise him well and give a treat. If he has an accident outside the box in the house, scold in a deep tone "NO BAD...GO OUTSIDE" and take him to that spot and when he sniffs his old buisness, praise him but don't give a treat. He will catch on before long......by the way clean his inside accidents with an odor neutralizer and spray NO-GO on that area so he doesn't get his sniffer confused!!! ;) Good Luck

Answer 7

Ok that will take alot of time on your behalf to train the pup to potty and so on outside. Take the dog out every 2 to 4 hours and watch and be with it until it gets use to it even during the night. It is hecktic at first but you got to dedicate yourself and time for this to work out good.

Answer 8

its better that your teaching her at a young age that way it will be asserted of waiting till the dog is older.. first if the dog has a accident inside the house put the dogs nose in it and tell him NO BAD BOY be sure to tell him the same words every time that ways he remembers when you say that its not a good idea to do it again then take him outside and walk him around he may not have to go again but it will show him what to do when he does need to go. if the dog goes to the bathroom outside be sure to tell him GOOD BOY GOOD JOB again its a good idea to tell him the same words pet him or give him a treat so he realizes he gets praise for going outside until he can do these things be sure an take him outside for a few minutes every hour or so.

Answer 9

there are several different ways to do this. the chair method you take your dog outside and then you let it have 15 to 20 minute floor time then put your dog back on the chair for 45 minutes then repeat. you can do this with a crate as well. or give your animal his/hers own private spot take out every hour. dogs don't get full control of their bladder/bowels for 4 months so be patient and stick with a method. also take your animal to the same spot so it will know this is where i go. tell your dog lets go outside to potty

Answer 10

I know this sounds mean but this is how I have to teach my very stubborn pitt bulls. When they use the bathroom in the floor, take and rub their nose in it and then stick them outside for 30 minutes or so. Then let them back in and do it to them every time and if they're smart they will get the picture. Good luck.

Answer 11

Start know dont wait. Your puppy needs to train its bladder sounds silly but true. Buy a crate and keep your dog in there when you cant watch her or him Take them out frequently and praise when he or she does go out side and 20 min. after every meal
