take your puppy outside as much as you can, specifically at the same time every day if you can. now is the time to start leash training. take the puppy to the same spot every time you take it outside. EVERY TIME!!! That will become the puppy's "territory". Once it smells its own scent, it will feel comfortable going to the bathroom there. Take the puppy outside after every time it eats. puppies are poop factories. if you put something in, something has to come out. also, give the puppy a treat after it poops outside. if you have to have the puppy in a kennel, pick it up and carry it to the door once you get home. do not put it down. chances are as soon as you set it down, it will pee. Make sure he goes in his spot outside. That is the main thing.
crate training is not the "end-all, be-all" method of training dogs. We did not believe in this menthod but if that is the way you are going to go, do not get a crate too big for the dog. he will mess in it if he feels he can and still sleep in a separate corner. Don't forget about puppy pads. Yes, they do work. we had approx. 15 litters of 7 and they never failed.

Housebreaking A Puppy For Dummies

You need to spend time with this dog.... I walked around with my little pooch for a week with a leash on my ankle.... everywhere I went, she went. You can watch for her starting to sniff or make circles or squat or get uncomfortable.... and get her right to her area.
I took her to her 'spot' every hour..... and gave her a couple of minutes..... if she didn't do anything - I went back to what I was doing..... and walked back there an hour later......if she DID something, I'd make a big deal out of it. It doesn't take long when you are diligent...... I had her trained in a week. In 4 years, my dog has never made a mistake..... so that one week of diligence will last a lifetime.

Feed the puppy small meals threw out the day after the puppy eats take it out side.If you dont have a carrier buy one a large one that will fit the dog when older that will be the dog home feed it and water is in carrier.After it eats take it out stay out with it leash train if it cant run in a fenced yard.If you are gone the dog goes in carrier when you come home take the dog out.It will take some time but it will learn.If it does it on the floor dont scold hard but let it know what it did if you see it do it if you dont then dont scold it ti dont know what it did.

|Miniature Pinschers are not the easiest dog to housetrain. They are stubborn. When you take her out are you taking her on a leash? If not start doing that. What you need to do is take her out every hour for a few days. Forget the nap and play times. You walk her until she goes. Once she goes, you praise her for going potty outside and give her a special treat that is only used for going potty outside. I use smoke turkey from deli. Just a tiny piece. After a few days go to 2 hours then 3. She will catch on. Just do not let her in the yard and expect her to do it on her own. You need to be with her to remind her what she is suppose to do.

crate training helps alot. get the book Puppies for Dummies. When they are that little you have to keep a constant eye on them. When they start sniffing it's time to head out or to the peepee pad. My little cockapoo trained up real quick that way. Whenever he had to go I'd head out and say "Go Potty" - and take him to the same area outside, once we get there I say "Get busy" and he learns to go. Then he gets a treat and a "good boy!". He does not get a treat or "good boy" for going anywhere else. If he messes in the house I say "Oh No" in a shame on you kind of way, never yell or hit the dog, just say UhOh or Oh No - he'll know he did something wrong. Mostly though it's paying attention - watch for him to sniff, or sit by the door or even just come and stare at you - he's trying to tell you something.
My sister in law has trained her pup to ring a bell everytime he has to go out.

Also, If I am not mistaken, Westies are one of the resistant breeds about housebreaking. So patience and time and persistence are needed!
Good luck!

if you don't want to use a crate you have to catch your pup in the action, and do what those cartoons do. as your pup gets to pee you pick her up and run with her outside. I don't think the puppy likes this so it will know that when it peeps in the house you'll run outside with her/him. Praise when she goes outside. It worked for my 2 month pup!
