How do i teach my pups at 4 weeks to be paper trained.?

Question

We dont have a garden so we need them to be house trained for the new owners. What age is best to teach them and how do we go about it have not got a clue. I have got the special puppy pads for the floor that have a scent.

Answer 1

The pups are too young right now, but when they start to show interest in everything and are romping around playing, then would be the best time. When you start, keep the puppies in a small gated-off area with access to the pads. Watch them, and when they start to use the bathroom, gently pick them up and place them on the pad and praise them. This takes time and patience, but people are more likely to buy pups if they are potty-trained. Good Luck!

Answer 2

I would want to potty trian them right away but i'm not sure if the puppies will understand it very well since they are so young. I would cover the area that they are being housed in with those potty pads or news paper or what ever you want them to get trained to. If it is a large area that they are in like an entire room set off a corner and cover it with the paper that you want them trained to like i stated above. Also try and place the paper in the corner or area that most of them choose to relieve themselves in. That way they will already be used to going in that spot. Okay now that everything is set up praise the puppies that eliminate on the paper give them treats and praise. this should also help becuase the other puppies will want attention and will try to do what the other puppy did which will hopefully make it easier to potty train them. Now if the puppies are in a smaller area that can be papered every where they will just eliminate wherever they usually go and eventually they will get used to only going on that paper. That way when they are ready to go home the family can lay out a large section of paper and the puppy may automatically go on the paper because that is where he is used to going. Then the family could make the paper a smaller sized area gradually and then slowly move it to the back door and outside and eventually take away the paper so that he will go on the grass. I hope this helped you out, bye

Answer 3

At four weeks old your puppies should not be outside yet.
They should have just gotten up on their little feet a week or so ago and do not have the immunity to be outside, you need to wait until the first distemper shot is given at around 6-7 weeks old.
What I do is have my puppies in a playpen. I lay newspaper down in the playpen and put the food and water in one corner and a towel for a bed in another corner. They will quickly choose an area of the playpen for going on. Keep them in a safe environment like that for a few more weeks, they are very vulnerable at that young age. They should still be nursing as well as drinking water and starting food.
When the puppies are 6 or 7 weeks we start taking them out for playtime in the house. They get to run around and play with us and each other. I also lay newspaper near the door. Of course at that age, they don't understand anything and will go wherever but they do start to notice the newspaper and will go on it because that is what they are trained to do. When a puppy reaches 7-8 weeks we introduce them to the yard for the first time. They have had their first shots and are healthy and hearty and ready to meet the grass. Once they like the yard, start to take them outside once an hour. Everytime the puppy pees outside, praise it in a higher voice and sound very happy. It is the beginning of the training. At 9 weeks we move puppies to individual crates to sleep in at night. And, continue the training.

Your puppies will be ready to go to their new homes at 9-10 weeks old and they will have begun their training.
You should not expect a pup that old to be trained, it takes several months. But you can tell the new owners what you have done and that the training is started and they should continue it and be patient and praise the puppy when it does the right thing.

Good luck!

I never use puppy pads. Waste of money if they will go on the newspaper. Then I train them to start going outside after the paper and they learn pretty easily.

Answer 4

I have successfully paper trained 2 dogs a male and female. My female is 3 1/2 and my male is 7 months old. My male took to it like a duck to water, I could count the times he had an accident on my hands, I found the female harder to train. Keep putting your pups onto the paper and when they have a wee praise them with loads of good boy/girl etc and loads of fuss. It may be hard but the reward at the end of it is a fantastic sense of achievement. Both my dogs will go the toilet outside so they know it's not just the house that they go to the toilet. We found a great item to use with newspapers was a thick and strong garden seed tray which we put the papers in for them so it doesn't soak onto the floor, the so easy to clean also.

My mum and dad has also successfully paper trained a female she must be about 6 or 7 years old now. My mum was the one who first tried the trays with newspaper in which she still uses to this day.

Answer 5

Sorry but if you are going to breed animals you should have found out more about them first.
It is impossible to teach such a young puppy as their level of understanding is too limited. A person buying a very young puppy shouldn't or Wouldn't expect it anyway. All you should be doing is providing a safe area with the pads or paper. I would think Mum is still cleaning up after them anyway or already showing them where to go!
As most new owners will have their own ideas of where the puppy should go and will train them to go outside as soon as possible too then providing the pads is a good idea because they'll get used to the scent and making the transition to the new home easier.
For now concentrate on making sure all the pups are getting a lot of handling and introducing them to various household noise.
One trick I've successfully used is to keep running the vacuum or dropping things near the pen I've kept them in.
Enjoy the time you have with them .

Answer 6

They don't have the control to hold their toilet so you can't expect them to learn to go and find the newspaper/pads to go toilet at this age.
However, it is an excellent idea to get their toilet training started and this is how:

Cover the entire area that they are allowed to scamper around on with the paper/pads that you want them to learn to use. They will learn to associate the feel of the paper with going toilet. When they get to 5/6 weeks, you can reduce the area slightly. Some pups will have already learned to use the paper - others you'll have to watch and supervise more closely. Scoop the pup up and put on the paper when you see him starting to go. Keep guiding them back to the paper after a meal and when they wake until they go and then praise lavishly.
You can reduce the area of paper as you become more confident in their success. When they go to their new homes at age 7-8 weeks they will be looking for paper to wee and poo and will have better control to be able to find it in time!!

Have fun and you can feel really triumphant when you have this done!

Answer 7

Paper training is not house training, so please do not tell the new owners that the pups are house trained.

Paper training is rarely, if ever successful. It actually teaches the puppy/dog that eliminating in the house is okay.

I'm sure you can take the puppies out doors some how to teach them to relieve themselves.

If you are going to paper train them, then you need to confine them to an area and supervise. When they show signs of having to "go" take them to the pad, and say, "go potty" when they start to potty. Praise and treat every time they do it on the paper.

If they go anywhere else, do not be angry and punish them. Take them to the paper, tell them "go potty" and praise and treat if they do.

If you punish the puppy, it will make house training a whole lot harder.

Keep in mind, they do not have bladder or bowel control fully until at least 6 months of age.

At this age, they will need to be taken to the paper around the clock every couple of hours to learn where to go. Be consistant and patient.

Explain to the new owners that the pups are "paper trained," not "house trained."

Answer 8

I would introdue them to the idea now in time they will grasp the concept of it this will be ideal for the new owners who will continue to house train them and then to go out side as they are to young to go out yet, especialy now with the cold weather is on us my gds is due christmas week and when her pups are this age i will do the same with them it may be in vain but at least you will be teaching them as i believe it will work out in the long run good luck

Answer 9

actual the perception isn't to have him pee or pooh everywhere except outdoors? Many doggies coming from a breeder will bypass on newspaper at the start by way of the indisputable fact that is what they likely recognize. My lot had a 4 X 8 foot whelping field, with the first 4 X 4 area being the position they were early days. at the same time as they were shifting round, a 2d 4 X 4 area change into further and lined with a sturdy intensity of newspaper which grew to change into the toileting/play end with newspaper less than Vetbed up the different end. i might want to get in and eliminate something that change into finished quickly. As maximum of my litters were deliberate for the better ideal climate, they were able to be outdoors of their ex-pen plenty in the course of the day, which decrease down on indoor peeing etc. (and saved paper). What you may want to be doing is taking him outdoors each and every hour at latest, after each and every sleep immediately, feed and short classes of playing. And a minimum of once in the course of the evening. until eventually a domestic dog learns that you will be taking him outdoors frequently, no matter if he's in a crate he will purely bypass because area of all it truly is to get him to the point he waits. i have not in any respect, by the fashion, used a crate to abode prepare. Adults do not usually mess the position they sleep, or eat, yet as doggies won't be able to bodily carry for lengthy, they purely experience the choose, and bypass until eventually their bladders and bowels are enhanced, and back, they get to carry close there's no favor to be purely emptying interior. certain, he will rip up paper - large exciting. And further with pee pads that is better risky as if he eats this, he receives blocked up. there's no favor to go away him outdoors - truly a lot because that is effective to have solar on the backs of doggies, immediately outdoors might want to exceedingly be for emptying. Take him out, say the note, he is going and also you deliver him decrease back interior. there'll be blunders, continuously remembering his blunders are your blunders. you in straight forward words perfect once you capture him in the act. a mess of praise for emptying outdoors, blunders get wiped clean up devoid of remark. he will be gazing, and noting your body language.
