GETTING MY FIRST PUPPY Golden Retriever.?

WHAT YOU MEAN BY SHOOT.

Answer 1

If potty training is an issue, then you should reconsider getting a puppy. While some take to it right away, puppies do not typically housebreak for awhile. And, you can't get mad at them for it. They can only hold it for an hour at a time and if you can't let them out every 30 minutes, there are going to be accidents. Remember, yelling, screaming, hitting, swatting, flicking, spanking, rubbing her nose in poop, are not going to train your dog. They will only make your dog fear *you*, not the act.

Once the puppy is old enough, get started on some training classes. It needs to be a gentle trainer, someone whose first response isn't a choke collar and an alpha roll. Puppies LOVE positive reinforcement, so you'll want to sign up with someone who agrees with this traning philosophy. I have a "non-trainable" toy breed who now is better trained than most labs and 'trainable' dogs - she loves positive reinforcement and treat rewards so much that she'll do just about anything for them!

Good luck to you and your puppy!

Housetraining 101

The best way to do house training is to use a crate that is just large enough for the pup to stand up, turn around, and lay down. The pup stays in the crate unless it can be very closely supervised -or- is being taken outside (or to potty pads) to potty/play.

Take the pup to potty as frequently as you can (once an hour if possible). Don't let the pup be on the floor in places that he shouldn't pee except right after he has already peed. The fewer mistakes the pup makes the faster he will be house trained.

The rule of thumb is that the pup can hold it (in hours) for its age in months, plus one. The pup should be taken out at least that often during the day and whenever the pup wakes up and whimpers at night. If the pup doesn't whimper and soils his crate at night, you may have to set an alarm. At night the pup should do his business and be put back in the crate - no playing.

Crating the pup for longer than it can hold it is cruel, so if the pup needs to be left for longer than that set up a restricted area (e.g. in a bathroom or in a x-pen in the kitchen). The area should have the crate, plus puppy pads (in a doggie litter box - helps with aim). Teach the pup to go in the litter box - as well as going outside (if feasible). [Larger breeds will outgrow the litter box, but small breeds can continue to use one as adults - if you wish them to do so.]

When the pup does potty where you want him to, "throw a party" - praise him, give him treats, and make a big deal about it. Convince your neighbors that you are completely crazy. Whenever possible, let the pup play for a few minutes afterwards so the pup will want to immediately do its business.

Never ever yell at or punish the pup for peeing. You will just teach the pup to hide to pee. Don't even let the pup see you clean up because some pups think it is a game to make their owners get down on the floor.

The first area of freedom for a pup should be a restricted area (like above). When the puppy is reliable there and you do allow the pup more freedom in the home, keep the area small and then slowly expand it. Watch closely, have a towel handy and scoop the pup up if it shows any sign of soiling. Feeding the pup in the new areas will help develop a prohibition against soiling there.

As the pup starts being more reliable, some people use a leash to attach the pup to their waist as they move around the house. That allows the owner to interrupt the pup before it soils and teaches the pup to stay with the owner in the home. Close proximity also helps with teaching the pup to chew only on appropriate items.

Be sure to clean all pee spots in an area with a good enzyme cleaner or the pup will be attracted by the smell (even if you can't smell it). A lot of places sell small black lights for detecting urine.

Goldie but that isn't very original. Hattie is cute. As far as house training you need to have a schedule for feeding time. Do not leave food down for her all day. Feed her in the morning and within ten minutes take her outside until she goes pee and poo. Then praise her immediately so that she gets to understand the reason for your praise. When she starts sniffing around also is a sign that she has to go. Then feed her late in the afternoon and repeat the whole thing. Take her out before you go to sleep and I always dump my dog's water bowl then so that he won't want to pee at night. Routine is essential when training a puppy. Good Luck to you and your new pet.

Alright the name should be keys or something (golden, goldi locks, locks, keys) lol or something nice or try something creative like your great great grandmothers name (that's what I did for my dog, Nellie) and about the training... lots of dogs respond to water for obedience so try a squirt bottle, if not like my dog and the dog drinks the water then try just a good yell... to make a dog sit, pull up on it's collar this should make the bum go down if not try tapping/ pushing the butt... to lay down get low and do hand motions... remember to reward and use the same word over and over. for discipline like eating under the kitchen table just yell STOP constantly and do not reward and if it is good at dinner then give the dog some scraps. heeling is easy too just put the dog on a leash and every time it strays from your side say heel in a stern voice and tug it. I hope this helps, it all worked for my dog... I would use doggy bones, but don't guve whole ones if they are big break them in half and make your dog want to do more so you will give it a treat later on in training try to wean it off this. hope it helps!!!
