spray to keep puppie off carpet while toilet training?

Question

i have a 5 week old puppie i am trying to toilet train rubbing her nose in it helps but she still goes back to the carpet .is there a spray i can use on the carpet to keep her off the area

Answer 1

At five weeks, she should still be with her mother.
The easiest way to housetrain a pup is crate training. They stay in the crate till you take them outside. If they go, then they have the freedom of the house for 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour. Then you take them back outside. If they do not go, then they are put back in the crate for an hour. This way, they can never go on the carpet. And rubbing her nose in it is not good.

Answer 2

I'm really impressed if you are able to toilet train your dog. If you are successful, pls let me know.

If, however, you mean house train, I'm definitely not the expert, but it may be as simple as finding a spray she doesn't like - maybe a lysol product you already have or even one of your perfumes (most of which my cat can't stand). You could also try one of those baby things that parents put at the top of the stairs so their toddlers don't fall down.

Answer 3

For starters don't rub their nose it... It scares them and can make them avoid you.. It is in all the training books (don't worry my other dogs we thought it was the right thing too)...

I have 8mth old boxer... We got her trained by taking her out after every meal, and every hour n half... Then when she went we'd praise her like she invented the wheel!!!

It is time consuming and frustrating, but your dog will get there... Pay attention to her behaviour and you'll soon be able to pick up on "I need to go to the toilet" vibes...

Oh, there will be more little accidents, so don't get to disheartend... It's all in time and persistance!

Good luck!

Answer 4

listen to the instructions above... crate training is the only way to go. Those sprays are, for the most part, a waste of money.

Answer 5

YES THERE IS A SPRAY THAT YOU CAN BUY TRY GOING TO A LOCAL PET STORE OR MAYBE EVEN WALMART. OR MAYBE YOUR VET WOULD CARRY THIS SPRAY. GOOD LUCK

Answer 6

Pepper is good too, it masks their territory. Don't rub her nose in it, that is just cruel.

Answer 7

You can buy the spray at your local Wal-Mart. There is a better spray than you can find at PetSmart or SuperPetz. It's amazing stuff.

Most dogs give off signs. They will sniff a spot and circle. You can watch for tell-tale behavior like that, and immediatly scoop up your dog and take her outside to "do the deed". Each time you go outside, take her to the same spot and use a code word like, "Go potty!" when you want her to us the bathroom. Gently pet her and praise her in a normal tone when she goes outide.

I hope this helps you. I was so unsure when I got my dog...I read all the books and watched all the DVDs and bought all the best products. I can't imagine when I have kids!

When she does use the bathroom where you don't want her to, don't rub her nose in it or anything else like that. Rubbing her nose in poop can cause infections, especially if she has tapeworms or something like that. Just wipe up the spot and make sure (this is very important!) that you use a pet spot cleaner. You can buy the best stuff on the market at PetSmart or SuperPetz. A less effective brand (but it still works) is available at Wal-Mart. If you only wiped up the spot, your dog will go back to that spot and smell her "target", and decide that's where she's supposed to go next time. The cleaner removes all the doggy scent from your floors and furniture, so the puppy can't smell it, and therefore, it isn't a choice potty spot.

If you must leave your dog alone during the day, you may want to crate train or paper train your dog, at least for a little while. They're both extremely effective until your dog is housetrained.

Also, you could put your dog on a schedule to housetrain her. When I first got my Rotti-Shepard pup, I would take him out every 20 minutes. Most of the time, he wouldn't do anything, but it wasn't the point. It got him used to the idea that outside was where that happened.

You also may need to get up during the night and take her out. My dog is 6 months old and now goes outside every two hours during the day and every four hours at night. He is housetrained, though, so I can tell you that this works.

A puppy will need to relieve herself after playing, eating, sleeping or napping, or any other activity that takes her mind away from the task at hand. I would take my puppy out right after eating, drinking water, playing, sleeping, or just lying around. As soon as he would move, we would go outside.

Limiting your dog's water intake is also a possibility. It may just be that she is drinking too much water and her body can't use it all. Dogs should be provided fresh water with every meal, after playtime and sleeping, except at night. That wouldn't be a good idea. You're dog will not die of thirst or anything like
