I just got these two pupies and i cant get them potty trained!What do i do?

Answer 1

This can be a simple process. Bear in mind, your puppy is going to eliminate! It is up to you to teach it where to go. That means you need to be absolutely aware of where your pup is and what it is doing at all times.

Don't punish your pup for "accidents" if you're not paying attention. By following some simple guidelines, potty training your puppy can take a short time:

1. You must reward/praise your puppy every time it does its "business" in the appropriate area. This will communicate your wishes to the pup.

2. Any time your are unable to watch your puppy, it should be in it's crate. This will prevent the pup from having an accident in the house.

3. If, and only if, you catch your puppy squatting in the house, stop him/her by making a loud noise (clap your hands, slap a wall or table top, etc.) and immediately take your puppy (happily) outside to the desired area and encourage him to finish. Once he has finished lavish him with praise and "cookies." If after ten minutes your puppy has not gone, take him into the house and put him in his crate for about 30 minutes and then take him out again. If he goes, reward and play for a few minutes. If he doesn't, back to the crate for another half hour.

4. Take your puppy to the desired area frequently during the day. Take him out after each meal, a nap, after a period of activity and when you see him sniffing (cueing) around.

Keeping your puppy on a consistent schedule will also go a long way to help the process. Feed, water (what goes in on schedule, comes out on schedule) and exercise at the same times daily. Use a high quality food formulated for puppies and don't change it. Sudden dietary changes can cause intestinal upset and ruin training efforts. And remember, PAY ABSOLUTE ATTENTION TO YOUR PUPPY!! Prevention of accidents is the key. You must be present when your puppy needs to "go."

Puppies vary greatly in the length of time it takes them to become reliably house trained. If you have one that is slow in getting it, you'll need to be more diligent and patient until he gets the idea. Also if you leave your puppy home alone all day, training will take longer. It is also important to mention at this time that you need to maintain your puppy's weekday schedule during the weekend. It is not uncommon for our office to receive calls on Monday and Tuesday from clients that were making progress and suffered some regression because they were letting the puppy out several times a day and altering the feeding schedule over the weekend.

Answer 2

Well if you just got them and they're just puppies, then you have nothing to worry about. A puppies bladder will not fully develop until 6-7 months of age, until which they will still be having accidents, so you cant expect them to be perfect in that area.

You dont need a dog trainer, all you need is patience and consitioning. So what you do is, when you see your puppies getting into "position" you say "NO" in a firm tone of voice and bring them to the area where they should be doing their business. Unfortunately you have to catch them in the act and move them to the "right" place.

What we did with our puppy (and what the vet told us to do) was to buy these pee-pee pads and put them around the house. The smell attracts the dogs to it. So any time our puppy was doing her business somewhere she wasnt suppose to we would pick her up and move her to a pee pee pad. In the beginning you have to put a few of these around the house so that they're available for you to train her. We had one in the living room, one in the dining room, and so on.

If those pads are too expensive, just use newspapers instead. They do the job too.

As for the transition outside, you get to know your dogs schedule. So when you eventually take her out and she/he does it there, then you can reward with some praise and a treat.

Answer 3

most puppies wont be able to be potty trained until they're like about 10 weeks old. but keep the puppies in an inside kennel if they're really small or young. most puppies refuse to "dirty" their living space like a kennel. take them outside on a regular schedule, maybe every 2 hours or something like that. doing this will regulate when the dog "goes" and helps a lot in potty training.

Answer 4

Give them their own potty area, place newspaper on floor. Make sure when you see them squat you rub nose in it say no no and transfer them to paper in own potty area.

Make sure the floor has no carpeting. Use a good disinfectant to stop smells.

It takes time, only swat with rolled newspaper on hind end. It scares but doen't hurt. Grabs their attention.

Also leash or take in yard in the morning and in the evening. Just make sure area is easy for them to reach.

If all else fails then talk to an expert who knows potty training technichs.

Answer 5

Potty training isn't going to happen overnight, you have to take it a day at a time. Some breeds pick up fast while other breeds take the slow train. Patience is the best bet.

Answer 6

It takes time to heal a broken heart, however you're going to recover from him finally. Sounds loopy right, you commonly suppose such as you can not reside without him. Well i have a similar story with a lady.... But sure a couple months went by and i would not have a damaged coronary heart and i am courting this different lady I rather like. Simply talk to different persons and take a look at to not think of him.

Answer 7

Well, if you just got them, you may be expecting things to go too quickly.
Make sure that you watch them carefully and take them out immediately after each time they eat or drink. Give them lots of praise when they potty outside. Correct them when they have an accident.

Answer 8

Usually when he poops or about to put him in the potty box or take him outside then after a while if he does it again inside the hopuse and not the potty box you should just punish him and probably put one of the little doors that leads them outside.

Answer 9

1) Get a kennel- a carrier or cage just big enough for the dog to stand up, turn around and lay down... You may want to get one for each of the dogs. I found one at a local pet store that has a divider- that worked nicely for 2 dogs... one in each side...

A couple things about the dog mind and behavior- those puppies' attention span is about 3 seconds. If discipline is to be effective, it MUST be within 3 seconds of the unwanted behavior, or all you'll be doing is scaring the animal!!! The last thing you want is for them to be afraid of you.

Also- (and this is why the kennel is so vital) A dog will not like to lay in his own... stuff. That's why the floor-space in the kennel needs to be just barely big enough for Puppy to lay down- if he makes a mess, and then wants to lay down...

And another thing- their digestive systems aren't very long. About 20-30 minutes after they've visited the food or water dishes, they'll need to potty. Be available to accomodate that!

Also- Be aware that dogs are social creatures- they like to be involved, touched, petted. They are very perceptive- your puppies will quickly learn to read your body language, and will be more willing to come to you if you sound happy- try the cheesiest, high-pitched, sing-songy "Good boy!!" you can muster!

So... Here goes-

Take about 2-3 days for this first part-
Pick a word that you want them to associate with going potty- I use "potty" with my dogs. Keep treats in your pocket at ALL times! Watch when they eat, set a timer for 20 minutes (30 if they're a bigger breed) and take them out. Watch them!! As soon as they squat, say, "Tes- Good Job- Potty!!" Yes, sound cheesy, happy, etc. Don't go overboard while they're doing their business- youdon't want to distract them.

When they're done, same script, but this time, include a treat and lots of excited petting and happy-sounding... anything you want to say. Feel free to go overboard at this point!

When you take them back inside, continue to watch the puppies. If you catch them squating in the house, shout their name (names are commands!!). Lower your voice and sound ANGRY!! You want to surprise them enough to stop the act. While you're shouting the dog's name, run over, pick the dog up (tucking the tail between the legs will stop pooping. It will also stop peeing in females- good luck in males) and hurry outside. Remember that attention span? Yeah, when the animal is done, having completed his business outside, praise him, using all the usual excitement. They won't remember that they started in the house- especially when
they're still young.

At night or when you can't take them with you, put the puppies in the kennel. At night, be sure to take them outside just before bed and again first thing in the morning. Durring the day, let them out at least every 3-4 hours. Remember their little digestive systems...

If your puppies are reasonably inteligent ("average inteligence") it should take about a month to eliminate accidents inside. If the dog is stupid or has been abused, it can take a LOT longer.

A word about clean-up--
When an accident happens on hard flooring- not a problem- mop up with a paper towel...
When the accident happens on carpet or a rug-
WET- Use a towel and soak up what you can. Shake baking soda over the area. The baking soda will absorb any moisture left and the odor. Odor removal is key- If it doesn't smell like a potty-spot, the dog is less likely to re-visit that site.
SOLID- Use a paper towel and pick up what you can, then soak or at least dampen with water and shake the baking soda over the area.
VOMIT- Same as solid. This is where the baking soda is truely awsome! When dogs get sick, it stinks to high heaven, and the baking soda still absorbs the odor!!

Answer 10

It takes time to heal a damaged middle, however you are going to recover from him ultimately. Sounds loopy proper, you regularly suppose such as you are not able to reside with out him. Well I have a equivalent tale with a woman.... But sure a pair months went via and I wouldn't have a damaged middle and I'm courting this different lady I relatively like. Just speak to different persons and check out to not consider of him.
