I am having problems training my 9 week old puppy to pee outside...any suggestions?

Answer 1

Make sure that the puppy is always outside within an hour of eating or drinking anything.....

Take the water away at bedtime, then return first thing in the morning. This will reduce night-time accidents.

Never beat your dog, however a pop on the bottom then being put outside for a minute may do the trick.

Answer 2

I'm sure your puppy will pee basically ANYWHERE. The fact that it's peeing in places other than outside is basically because it's just a baby. Even us humans have to learn where to pee and it takes us 2-3 years before we can get out of diapers (and even then we continue to have accidents once in a while). To house train your puppy you should consider crate training it. The crate acts as your puppy's "house" on a smaller scale. Your puppy wants a clean house, just as you do and it will often not soil it's house. Read more on crate training here: http://www.inch.com/~dogs/cratetraining.html and here http://www.perfectpaws.com/crt.html . Of course, you must walk a puppy more often than an adult dog because their bladders are much smaller so they need to go more often. Never punish your puppy for having an accident. But always offer positive reinforcement when your puppy eliminates during it's walk. Good luck.

Where does he pee now? Watch him and figure out how long he goes in between pee times and then take it from there. When it gets around his time to go, take him outside. When he finally goes, PRAISE, PRAISE, PRAISE!!!! Also, if you have paper trained him inside, and he does well with that, put a piece of paper outside and he'll go on that.

When we were training our puppy, we would take her out like every hour to go pee and let her sniff around for however long it took until she went. At night we kept her in the kitchen ( or you could use any other room like a laundry room), blocked the doorway with a child gate, and lined the floor with newspaper so that she could go wherever she wanted. After about a week or two, we would leave a small section of the kitchen open and found that she would only go on the papered area. We kept doing this until we were down to one piece of paper and she would only go on that. That's when we started taking her outside and putting a piece of the paper out there. Good Luck!!

Answer 4

easy peasy. You TAKE (not put) the puppy outside every hour or sooner if you see him sniffing around looking 'busy'. Then as he starts to go, you say "weewee, very good dog" and give lots of praise in a happy voice. If he has an accident indoors do not punish him or yell and certainly never rub his nose in it unless you want to train it to be a sh1t eater which is what happens when dogs are walloped and beaten for going in the home. If he has an accident inside, it is YOUR fault for not watching him. I've never had a dog yet that I could not housetrain in less than a week. But it takes time and effort and constant vigilance.

Answer 5

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/aMQSn

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 6

It's quite straight forward when you know how lol...
he will need to pee almost immediatelly after he has a drink, so when he has a drink, take him outside staright away. When he does it outside, praise him, play with him & give him a treat. Don't play with him when your outside before he goes, so he learns that he only has fun after he has gone to the toilet outside. I also always use a word (which happened to be "outside") everytime he started to pee inside, as I rushed him outside, then I'd use that same word before (if possible) & during when he was peeing. That way later on he will associate that word with going to the toilet & will pee on command when he is older.
Don't tell him off if he does it inside, & even if he is done peeing, rush him outside anyway for a coupla minutes so he gets the idea.
It's quite difficult to know when he is going to pee though & if he doesn't pee outside much then you wont have the opertunity to praise that behavoiur, & the learning process will take longer.
Also, if you get one of those doggie pens (cage-type thing - sounds cruel but dogs like them & it does wonders with toilet training.) Basically the idea is, that they wont go to the toilet in their own bed/sleeping space so they will be much more likely to hold onto it. Then when you take him out of the pen, take him straight outside, where he should pee, & then you can praise.
I did this with my dpg when he was 11 weeks old & he pretty much got the hang of it after 3 days, & after a month he very rarely did it inside.
Good luck!

Yes, Kennel train your pup. When you are not around i.e. in school / work put your pup in a travel kennel. As soon as you get home the first thing you do is put your pup outside.. Most dogs do not want to go potty in the area they sleep so they will learn to hold it . When your pup goes potty outside give him/her a treat and lots of love.. When you take the dog back into the home only allow the dog a small space to be free in and watch your pup. If you can not watch your pup then put the dog back into the kennel and every hour you take your dog out side. Now understand the dog can't be in the kennel all the time so you will have to spend time watching your dog as you give your dog that small area of freedom in your home.. What I am saying is maybe gate the living room off somehow so the dog can't sneek off and go potty in another room.. This will make watching your pup easier.. Anyway , kennel training is the easiest but takes dedication on your part.. If you stick with it you will have a great pet in no time..

Answer 8

Install a doggy door. Don't put down water at night. And take her out every 2 hours if possible. Don't use wee wee pads if you don't want her to pee in the house. Most dogs do not get this concept until they are almost 4 months old.

Answer 9

It doesn't happen overnight. You have to be very consistant also.
Take the puppy out when ever it wakes up, after it eats,after it plays, and about every half hour to hour when it is awaks. Always take it to the same spot and say "go potty". When it does, praise and reward.
Continue and it will happen. Never punish for an accident.
Small breeds and males take longer.
