How do you potty train a puppy.... how do u get them to hold it through the night?

Answer 1

Take her outside after every feeding. She will go about 5-10 minutes after being fed, depending on her age. It will take awhile for her to learn/develop bladder control, but potty should be easier. Feed on a strict schedule, so that she isn't fed just before bedtime, as she will need to go shortly after being fed..Young pups should be fed and then walked 4 times per day, until they poop...She will need more frequent outings for peeing...Walk her just before bedtime, to make certain she is empty..
Never scold for mistakes, but give lavish praise every time she goes outside, like she won the lottery.....Pups can only hold their pee for 1 hour, per month of age..So, its important to empty them just before bedtime..
Use the same word every time.
The most important thing is to watch her closely, and scoop her up and outside when she begins to act restless, turn circles, etc. soon she will whine and look at you when she needs to go.
Be patient...If your patience wears then, talk to your mom, and ask her how long it took to potty train you...How many times she changed your diaper, and bedding....lol

Answer 2

I have a 8 week old puppy and I have had her for 3 weeks now. There has definitley been a lot of accidents but persistence pays off. At first I had to set my alarm every two hours and get up and take her outside so she could learn to potty outside and she has done very well. I would also suggest not letting the puppy drink water for at least 1 hour before you go to bed until the puppies bladder is strong and the puppy comprehends that they have to potty outside. It is a long process that involves no sleep and a lot of shampooing of carpets. I have also been very persistent in teaching her that she goes outside as soon as she wakes up and as soon as I get home from work. She is also learning from my other dog. I also taught my other dog with "treats". He got one everytime he didn't have an accident inside and everytime he went potty outside. Good luck.

Answer 3

I always train my puppy, by putting them in a closed off area, and having newspaper down, (with a vapor barrier of plastic under it, so that the soil or urine doesnt soak through into the floor).

I leave them in there all night, with the light on, for about a week. I play with the puppy during the day, and take it outside, when I get a chance to, but, at night, its back in the pen.

They are always paper trained and sometimes have a hard time getting outside, so, I put some paper out there for them to use, when I put them out when I am with them...

I wish you well..

When you are potty training a puppy - - you should try to get him on a schedule. Take him out frequently (every hour if he's just a baby) and then gradually get him use to going potty on schedule:

For example -

1) Going outside right after you first wake up

2) Going outside about the time you have lunch

3) going outside just after dinner

4) Going outside just before bed.

Puppies typically will need to use the bathroom right after they eat - so it helps to get them on a schedule of eating too. Your dog is going to have a hard time Holding it through the night until he is a little older and his bladder is bigger. Just be patient and take him out often (even once or twice a night) so that he doesn't make a mess. . . gradually you will be able to get him on the schedule and he will be just fine all night.

Steps:
1. Watch your puppy's behavior while relieving himself outdoors so you can detect the warning signs and intercept him when indoors.

2. Stay outside as often as possible during nice weather so your puppy can develop a preference for eliminating outdoors. Help him develop a liking for surfaces like dirt and gravel by taking him outdoors to eliminate after eating, playing and sleeping ' or, ideally, every 15 minutes.

3. When it's time, go straight to a predesignated area and don't leave until the puppy urinates.

4. Tuck your puppy into a cozy crate in your bedroom at night. Dogs are den animals and don't like to soil the area where they sleep.

5. Carry the puppy outdoors when he becomes restless in the middle of the night, and wait until he's finished relieving himself.

6. Supply a litter box (filled with sand or kitty litter) during the night, unless you plan on getting up every couple of hours to take him outside. If you do want to take him outside, set your alarm if you sleep too deeply to notice that your puppy has started fidgeting, and carry him outside at those times.

7. Carry the puppy outside first thing in the morning so he won't soil the floors as he walks outside.

8. Be consistent with training. Consult a pet behaviorist if you have problems.

9. Reward your dog with puppy treats and praise every time he successfully eliminates outdoors.

Tips:
Corrections and punishments for indoor accidents will only teach your puppy not to eliminate around you (even when outdoors), but won't stop him from eliminating indoors when you're not around. If you catch the puppy in the act, say 'No!' sharply and carry the puppy outside.

Answer 6

Puppys don't know how to hold it through the night. Don't listen to the toilet comment, thats not true and is just plain gross. You'll have to get up every few hours at first before you let him/her try to hold it through the whole night. Eventually you need to get him/her to go out every 6 hours instead of 3 hours. Its a gradual process, but the best way for you, your puppy, and well your carpet. If you have any questions just contact me. Good luck!

Answer 7

try a puppy training pad or some news paper, when you change the paper or pad either rub a peice of the one that has a bit of wee on it on the pad or i used to change the paper and put one of the weed on peices on the new paper so they can smell were they weed before then lift the mucky one up as soon as they realise,then i moved it towards the door bit by bit so they will go to the door to look for the paper then you can let them out good look this allways worked for me and they were never long before they were letting me know at the door, good luck but they will still pooh at night for a bit, never put there paper near water or food

Answer 8

a crate. place the pup in the crate when your not home and at night. also when he miss behaves. place a blanket in the crate. make sure the crate(doggie kennel) is large enough for them to comfortably stand . dogs dont piddle or poo where they eat and sleep. the added bonus of this is when you are not home or sleeping he can not get into anything he is not supposed to plants garbage household poisins etc.and he cannot chew what he cant reach. great training aid when they are bad you tell them to go to their house. i am an animal rescue worker and it has not failed me yet in 15yrs. good luck

Answer 9

crate training is what we did for my dog. the idea is that your dog wont go in his/her crate b/c they dont want to dirty their home/bed.when ever you are not with ur dog, he stays in the crate. then he has to bark to let u know. after a while he will get the hang of it and he can be in the crate less and less. also, always let ur dog out the same door. that way he knows where to go to get out(avoids confusion and accidents)

we did this with my puppy. he was 8 wks. he was trained in a week.

Answer 10

He will have to be a certain age. But you can start by locking him in a kennel over night. And he will still have accidents. But he will eventually stop.
