How can i train my 10 week old puppy rottwieller not to bite and to stop doing his business in the house.?

Answer 1

Ok the biting, you should try and bite him on his ear or put his snout in your mouth, it shows them who the alpha is in the relationship, if a dog thinks he is alpha between him and his owner then you are gonna have lots of problems.
The potty training thing is tricky and every dog is different. Try tying a bell on a string and tying it to your door, everytime you take your dog out make him sit and take his paw and hit the bell with it. Do this for about a month and take him out often since he is a puppy still. AFter a while he will start to understand that if he rings the bell then he gets to go outside. It worked great with my dogs. Hope it works. Good luck!

Puppies bite until the age of 4 1/2 months so you've got a way to go yet. You need to train your pup to have a soft-mouth by allowing him to chew yours fingers and yelping like a pup when he goes too hard. Ignore your pup for a few minutes after this, then get him to come and sit in front of you, make up and continue playing. This is how puppies learn together to bite and mouth softly. Your pup might benefit from going to a good puppy socialisation class which will give him lots of opportunity for interaction with other puppies.

If your pup is snapping, jumping up and pulling at your clothes with his teeth then a firm 'No' should cure this with a bit of time, everyone has to be consistent though!!

With regards housetraining you need to limit the areas in your home that the pup has access to, until he can be trusted do not give him free reign in your house. I have a 15 week pup who sleeps in our porch at night and has supervised access to our kitchen during the day. He has been clean and dry at night since his second night. I think it's because he is sleeping in a small area and dogs do not soil near their bedding.

During the day take him out the the garden every hour and you will soon get into a routine of when he goes. Pups generally need 6 poos a day so keep a count!!! When indoors look out for the signs that he may need to go, for example sniffing the floor, turning in circles etc.

Hope this is helpful to you, my pup was a bit of a biter too and I was ready to give up on him after a particularily bad evening in his company but since we have been able to get out and about and meet other dogs he has improved so much and he's a little gem now - most of the time...... :)

My son has a rott puppy and she was quite the biter at first as well. Every dog I've had as a pup seems to go through this. Biting the animal back (lightly, but firm enough to know that you bit them) on the snout immediately after they bite you will stop this behavior. As for the accidents, I'd recommend to take the pup outside right after eating (this is a very common time for them to feel the need) and rub the pups tummy w/ a warm wet washcloth to simulate the stimulation licks given by the mother dog to induce them into going. After he's done doing his business outside praise him.
I hope these tips help, and best of luck w/ your new friend :)

What we did when we had a Rottwieller pup is we took him out every so often during the day even if he didn't need to go, he'll get the idea when he does "potty" outside when you praise him and take him in just as he's done. Keep him in a cage at night too and take him outside as soon as you let him out of the cage. Our pup was trained in no time.

The biting...just tell him "no" loudly everytime he trys to bit or bump his nose as you say it if saying it does work alone.

Answer 5

i have a rottweiler puppy and found it difficult to train her at first, to stop the nipping i gently tapped her on the nose and said nice as for the house training take the puppy out after every meal, sleep, playtime and just before you go to bed you need to show the puppy that you are in charge i would not recommend the puppy training pads as i have had used these in the past and they never worked.
you must bare in mind though that he is still a puppy and accidents will happen and when the puppy plays he will nip.
i will stress however that their should be only one person in the household to control the dog as it stops the dog becoming confused

Answer 6

I was about to give a long and involved answer about why pups bite and how they learn bite inhibition from their litter mates and that we can teach them the same thing without slapping, hitting, biting or yelling 'NO' at them and then I gave up and thought 'Why don't these people find out these basic things BEFORE they get a pup?'

Similarly I was going to explain that pups do not have the same idea of hygiene as we have and it is perfectly normal for them to defecate and urinate indoors and that it is relatively easy, with time and patience, and without having to hang bells on door handles to get them to go where we want them to but again, I thought 'Why bother?'.

A friend of mine has just booked her first puppy. She is really excited but worried about all the basics. I've answered the questions she has come up with, I've recommended Perfect Puppy by Gwen Bailey and I've loaned her a crate and she knows I have the experience to give more advice if needed.

Why don't more people do the preparation!?.

A well-trained dog makes everyone happy, including his owner. Take a little time training him, and you'll never regret it; you'll always have an obedient dog by your side. Find more https://tr.im/gNCTw

By their nature, dogs are pack animals with a well-defined social order. Through basic training, you need to consistently make sure your puppy understands that you are the leader, not him. So in teaching him the basic rules, you take on the role of pack leader.

To fit into the family circle, your dog must be taught to recognize his name and such commands as come, heel, lie down and sit.

Answer 8

As for stopping him doing business in the house, what I used to do with my puppy is everytime he poos or wees just pick him up or take him by the collor and lead him out into the garden. They soon learn the association between needing to do business and going outside. As for th biting thing most puppy will do this as they are teething and also because it is just a form of play. Everytime he does it just shout NO. Make sure you have lots of toys for him to play with as this will help too.

Answer 9

With the biting i just told my dog no sternly and i sometime bit her back lol.
don't ask me about the house training i still havn't fully managed it after a year and a half !!! She wees when she gets too excited or if she gets scared!!! :(
I love the bell idea i'm gonna try it tho because i have to keep watching her loads so i can tell if she wants to go out. She usually lets me know by standing near the door but it will help me get on with life if the bell works.

Answer 10

put the puppy in a puppy crate. when you take the pup out of the crate, take it ouside right away and after it does its buisness, praise it. as far as bitting, get some chew toys. it is probly teething. i have a rot and we used to give her ice cubes when she was teething and she loved it! the rope toys also worked very very well with our dog. when the puppy bites you, be firm and tell it NO! if that doesnt work, push the pups snout downward and say NO or NO BITE you have to be the "alph dog" the leader of your pack. my dog is 110 lb female and because i am the one that scolded her when she was a pup, she listens to me alot better than she does my hubby. rots are awsome dogs and they make great pets regardless of what the media says!! its all about how you raise your dog.
