how do u get ur dog potty trained?

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

Their are almost as many techniques as there are dog breeds Crate training and paper training are the most common words used to describe the proccess.
Simple put you should confine your dog or supervise your dog during the process of potty training. start by taking a dog outside after eating, sleeping, or playing to a designated potty area. ad to this a chance to go potty every few hours depending upon the age of your dog. (from 2-8 hours)
With paper training, you use layers of newspapers or puppy pads in the confinment area cleaning up the messes on top layers. With crate training, you confine the puppy to a den like crate when you are not supervising, not as punishment for messes.
For more information consult with your veterinarian on a good trainer in your area.

Answer 3

try crate training,it worked for my dog.I placed my dog/puppy in a box just a little bigger that she was with nothing else except for something soft for her to lie down on and every couple of hours took her outside to do whatever play,explore or void and within a week she was housebroken.Just remember a puppy has a need to void roughly every 2-4 hours so if you cant do that schedule expect some accidents and a slower learning curve,My wife and I have schedules that allow us to be home as needed so it was done quickly and easily.If you have to use the paper training method where whenever your dog voids put it on a pile of newspaper pages and show the dog where it is the dog should pick it up relativley quickly AND ABOVE ALL PRASIE YOUR DOG WHEN IT VOIDS ON THE CORRECT AREA wether it be outdoors or on newspaper

Answer 4

You should try crate training. Let him get used to crate first. Take your dog to the crate and speak happily. Make sure the crate door is opened. Drop some treats or toys into the crate. Have a blanket or something soft to sleep on. Once he is in the crate, close the door.
Start feeding him his meals near the crate. When he gets more used to it, feed him inside the crate. Close the door when he's eating. Once he finishes, take him outside for about 5-10 minutes. If he doesn't go, take him back inside (in the crate). Wait for 20 minutes and try again and again (and again).

P.S. (Also be really nice to him to show that you care. Reward him with treats!)

Answer 6

First of all, NEVER hit or spank your dog....just as people, they respond much faster to positive re-enforcement. Remember, the dog does not speak "human" so be patient. Your dog wants to understand you and please you, but first needs to know what you are asking it to do.
Get your dog a crate ( or a small confined space). This space should NOT be used as a punishment - dogs like to have their own "den" so to speak - so keep it a positive place for them. When you can't watch your dog, put him in his crate (with water and toys) when you come home, immediatly take him to where you want him to potty, say "go potty" or whatever phrase you want him to equate to going to the bathroom....repeat it several times. when he goes, give him a yummy treat IMMEADIATLY (not when he gets in the house) he needs to know that going potty right there equals getting a treat...if you give it to him inside, he may get confused. Always praise your dog with a happy upbeat voice.
if the dog goes indoors, and you catch him in the act, say "no" firmly (dont' yell) pick him up and take him to his potty spot and say "go potty" etc.
Never punish you dog for going inside if you did not catch him doing it - they don't remember that they did it, and will become confused and frightfull if you scold and spank it.
be patient with your dog, and remember it takes time - but always be gentle and kind...you dog is learning your language and learning what you want him to do.

Answer 7

The key is to be consistent. You have to be with them all the time at first to do it right. Watch- and as soon as you see them squat- you grab them and run outdoors and set them down. If they pee or poop there- you say "good dog"! and give them a hug, before taking them back indoors. (positive conditioning)

After awhile if they go indoors you teach them not to by rubbing their noses in it so they see how disgusting is is- and take them outdoors. (negative conditioning) If they pee or poop, you say "good dog!" again.... and you keep repeating the process until they learn.

I had one dog that only had to be picked up one time and taken outdoors-she never once went indoors. The hard part is when you're not there to reward or punish them consistently and then they get confused. If you can't be there to train them- then get a cat- they learn by themselves to use a liter box and you don't have to tell them to do it.

Answer 8

Repitition. Take him out at the same time everyday. As a puppy he need to go out 5-6 times a day. Before going out get excited and say "you want to go outside?" If he does his business then give him a treat when you come in. If he ever goes in the house, take him to the spot and spank you and say bad dog. Before long he will be waiting at the door for you to take him out.
