I have 2 questions about house training a dog?

Question

First I have a question about crate training. I have closed off an area in my house already for the dog to go potty,eat,play, and sleep. So far my 3 month old pomchi pup has been doing really good with the litter box, in this closed area. My pup can go to the bathroom on his own = D. but if he has access to another room he will go potty there = ( How can I get him to keep going potty in the litter box, without closing him off from other rooms????

Second Question is How can I get my dog to stop jumping on peoples legs, and to stop biting hands?

Thanks!

Answer 1

You always try the most positive method first:
Some ideas for discouraging finger chewing: when your puppy clamps down, let out a very loud YELP in imitation of a hurt puppy. Then, fold your arms and ignore him for 10 minutes. With very young puppies, this sometimes works wonders - it's the same thing that happens when they get too rough with another puppy. The wounded puppy yelps and runs off, refusing to play for a bit. The yelp must be startling enough to stop the behavior. If nothing changes, you probably weren't a good enough actor.

That should do the trick, unless she is prey driven,.However, if it doesn't fix the problem this will work:

To introduce an element of "natural discipline", grasp the recalcitrant pup by the scruff of the neck with one hand, place your other hand over the top of his muzzle, gently pressing his muzzle towards his chest as you say, in a low, growly tone of voice, "No BITE". If they begin to throw a tantrum and thrash around trying to bite, just hold the line until they "give in" and "say uncle" (quit resisting). You should not find it necessary to get aggressive with a young puppy. Simple restraint is usually enough to get the message across.

Absolutely do not use any stiffer discipline without guidance from an instructor. An example of overkill is the alpha roll. Most young puppies simply do not need that level of discipline, and you can really damage the relationship by using it. (Job Michael Evans himself stated, before his death, that he regretted that they ever covered that subject in How to be Your Dog's Best Friend, because the alpha roll has been so grossly misused.)

Use the same method for teaching him not to jump, as you turn away from him and ignore him when he jumps on you. Only give him attention after he has stopped jumping.
He is only trying to get to your face and greet you as he would greet his mother, but he has yet to learn that this unacceptable when relating to people.

He doesn't like to 'go' in his litter box. This just seems preferable to going in his 'den'. His instinct is to go outside, but when he can't go outside, he will go 'outside' his den. That puts his 'outside' in the middle of your house.

The only answer is to take him out of doors for a short time before he is allowed the run of the houuse.

Answer 2

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aL0s2

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Answer 3

Hmm, I don't know about potty training dogs much but I do know about behaviors. I left my dog in the back yard and let him poop there. Dogs are hard to potty train.
Now about him jumping on people. He's a kid and has a LOT of energy that needs dispersing. So first things first, you need to take him for walks EVERYDAY. Second, discourage the behavior AS SOON AS YOU SEE IT. You see him jumping, you pull him off and make him sit down. (as in grab him and make him sit down) He goes for it again, do it again. Same thing with hand biting or any other bad behavior you want to discourage. Correct it immediately and physically. He'll get the idea. Dogs are very smart that's why I love them.

Answer 4

The answer to your first question is, The best way to properly potty train is in a crate with his litter box. Especially when you leave. He will get it after a couple weeks. We trained our Austrailian pup like this and a couple of weeks he was trained. Now your second one, When he does jump & bite, use a stern voice and tell him no and take him away from whom he jumped & bit. Practice this on a friend who is willing to help train your pup at least 5 minutes a couple times a day.When he does not jump & bite, reward him with a treat and praise him.

Answer 5

He is a dog...dogs do not go potty in litter boxes...litter boxes are for cats. Dogs need to be trained to go potty either outside or on a paper in a place where it can be disposed of.
Second answer: You have to have patience and be consistent in order to train a dog to do anything that isn't natural for it. (please see first anwer)

Answer 6

to the second question: the first thing is to ingnore him, if he is still jumping make him sit down and give him a treat if he does. you want him to learn that if he does a positive action then he gets a positive reaction and maybe a treat or toy! if ignoring doesnt work first, thats the whole reason they jump and bite, is for attention, if you ignore them, they learn that that is not a good way to get attention.

DON'T GAG, PULL HIS TONGUE OR ANY OTHER OF THAT BULL CRAP!

Answer 7

First off You need to get off your lazy good for nothing butt and walk your dog. Part of pet ownership is taking responsibility. Dogs need regular exercize, which walking provides. They also need socialization to stop attacking people. (they need to spend time in public settings with other people and animals). You are being incredibly irresponsible. Not to mention you are ruining the resale value of your home. If you ever go to try and sell it you won't be able to get the dog pee smell out of the house.

You don't deserve to have a dog. You don't have a clue what you are doing. God forbid you ever decide to have a kid, you'll probably neglect your child like you do the dog.

Answer 8

I can answer the second. Show that jumping and biting equals losing play friend and attention. Once he jumps or bites leave for a few minutes. he'll get it after a while. Also if something unpleasant happens when they bit like a knuckle sandwich or grabbing the tongue, or gagging them.

Answer 9

dogs belong outside!

Answer 10

Offer him a treat after a successful (and properly located) offloading of the turd twins. Get him to associate taking a dump in the litter box with food and you should get a decent response from him.

Answer 11

When I bought my puppy it came along with a DVD to show basic training. I have a Pembroke welsh corgi and we're still training her to learn to go to the door. A couple things the DVD mentioned was to not yell at the dog when they go somewhere else because it may scare them into thinking that it's not ok to go to the bathroom. If you catch them in the act you say no and say the word you want, in your case litter box or something like that, and take them to that place. Because you have him in a certain area when you do let him out he's going to sniff and find naturally other places to go. As everyone else has said you have to be consistent. IF you take him outside at all to go to the bathroom and it's a small dog try tying a bell around the door on something long enough for the dog to reach and then you know when he has to go outside. We have tried it with ours because she is so small we don't always see her at the door but we hear her.
For the biting the DVD said to grab her and squeeze your fingers just a little bit and say no between the front two legs and this simulates another dog letting them know they have bit too hard or they are doing something that "dog" doesn't like. I am having the same problem with my dog jumping up and we're working on it with her but as soon as we do the squeeze she calms down and starts giving kisses.
