Im having trouble training my male bassinet hound/beagle puppy?

Question

We had so about a month and half. I cant get him to potty train. We constantly kept taking him out and not even a half hour after he has an accident. Plus he always jumping on people. We cant get to stop doing that. Right now we keep him out in the yard but it getting cold and I feel bad when he out all day.

Answer 1

this schedule is for a pup a bit younger, so you would just adjust the routine to 3 meals per day.

Routine is the most important aspect of training. From the beginning, feed 4 times per day, at the same times, and put the bowl up in 5 minutes, or when finished.

A puppy will need to go just minutes after eating, so whisk him outside, and stay with him until she 'goes'..Giver him lots of praise when he does his job, play a few minutes, and come back in..

If you can spread down a bag of sand, from a garden center, it will give him a good place to go, so you can kind of aim him there, and not just all over your yard..

He should only need to go poop after eating, and perhaps at bedtime..

However, he will need water down at all times, and need to pee frequently..so, outside every other hour for that..and keep a close eye on him..He will need to go during active play, and every time he wakes from a nap..If you watch him, you will see him acting restless, and sniffing the floor, etc when he needs to go..at first, peeing may be just a matter of pausing, and uh-oh, there it is..He won't even be aware...So its important to never scold him for peeing...this is what makes traumatized pups that refuse to pee outside, or try to hide it in the house..as they get scolded for it, and it becomes a traumatic event..
Keep the product, Nature's Miracle, on hand, for instant cleaning of pee spots...or ask your pet supply which enzyme cleaner they recommend..

Puppies physiology only allows them to help pee for about 1 hour per month of age...so expecting any more is unrealistic..a good reason for a playpen at night..If you don't yet have a crate, then you may need one, He may hold it through the night, but is likely to need to pee at least once during the night..You can remove the water a couple of hours before bedtime..

By following a routine, and being ever watchful for the first few days, you can have him petty well trained in just a couple of weeks..or less

I house-train all of my pups before they ever leave my home, and I do it an entire litter at a time..it normally takes about 4-5 days, with very few accidents..
But, if you hang a little bell on the door, or a desk bell on the floor, and show him you are ringing the bell each time you take him out, he is likely to begin ringing the bell when he needs to go..Just be very vigilant, and yet stay relaxed..an accident doesn't mean failure..
Remember, it takes forever to potty train a human baby, and it is so nice that puppies can learn it so much faster, but they are still allowed to be babies, and don't deserve to be stressed about the training...
If you have important areas to keep clean, just keep him away from those areas until he is a bit older..

I recommend using a harness for the walking and leash training, as it is less frightening and stressful..eventually, as trust is developed, you can switch to a collar..but a soft harness takes the fear away from the beginning...Walking stimulates the bowels to move, more so than just putting the dog out..

Weh a puppy jumpson you, tun your back and walk away, consistantly..It will be better whn he is indoors and not quite so excited to see you and compete for your attention..

Answer 2

I had a male basset hound for years and could never get him potty trained. I have read many books about this and even spoke to some dog trainers. The bottom line is basset hounds are very hard to house break and some times impossible. What I finally did was if I couldn't keep an eye on him I put him in the kitchen with a long leash tied to something, that way if he had an accident I could just mop it up. As for the jumping never yell down just when he jumps up give him a slight kick in the belly and then say down. Remember not to kick him hard enough to hurt him then have people come over and visit and have them do the same thing. This will break him of jumping quickly. I never did have my basset house broke and he lived for 15 years, but he would not go in the kitchen when he was tied up. But I could never leave him run alone in the house or he would pee everywhere.

Answer 3

Well, first of all, the correct term is Basset Hound.

Second, it's a PUPPY. Puppies do these things. Your job is to show the puppy that these things are wrong. Essentially, you have to become the "alpha-dog." Don't be afraid to correct it when it misbehaves; it'll never learn otherwise, and you'll end up with a problematic dog later on in life.

As far as housebreaking, most people swear by crate-training. The basic premise is that dogs don't like to eliminate where they sleep, so they'll avoid doing so while they're in the crate. There's a wealth of knowledge on the subject; look into it.

You really shouldn't leave your dog outside for longer than it takes him to eliminate. It's below freezing here, and your dog would be short-haired. My poor Basset shivers in the HOUSE when it's cold out, and camps out endlessly by the furnace register.

But, whatever you do, please don't relegate your dog to an outside life because you can't handle him. That's why dogs end up in the shelters, or hit on highways.

Train him now while he's still young, and you'll reap the rewards for years.

Answer 4

Do you know about crate training? I'm sure you can find tons of info on the web and at bookstores. It takes a lot of time and patience, but if you stick with it you'll be so glad you did. I have several friends that have Beagles and none of them were easy pups to house train! It must be something about their breed.

The jumping thing is fairly easy to correct. When he jumps on you turn your back to him and ignore him, don't yell "NO" at him or anything. You don't want to encourage that behavior in any way. By saying "NO" you are actually giving him attention and he'll see this as encouragement to keep jumping on you.

Is he trained to sit? That is something you could begin with. Train him to sit and reward him when he does. You can reward him with treats or lots of attention and hugs, but you should mix it up. It does take some time but he'll eventually realize the right and wrong ways to get your attention.

Puppies are a handful, hope it helps! Good luck! Here are some sites you should check out:

Answer 5

We actually suggest that dog owners NOT train their dogs to go on wee-wee pads or newspaper, because this trains the dog to eliminate inside your house instead of outside. The dog cannot distinguish between it being OK to pee on the pad, and not on any other paper or fabric on the floor...

To train a dog to go outside, you need to first put the dog on a feeding schedule. We suggest feeding the dog at the SAME TIME every day. This helps to "program" his bowels and bladder to regular feeding and elimination times.

Don't leave food out for the dog all day. If he eats all day, he'll poop all day. But keep plenty of fresh water available to him.

((Keep in mind that puppies don't have any conscious control of their bowels or bladder until they're about 16 weeks old. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't start training your puppy right away; it means that he may still have accidents in the house until he has better control of his body.))

Dogs usually have to potty about 10-15 minutes after they eat, when they first wake up in the morning, and when they wake up from a nap. Use these opportune times to take the pooch outside. As soon as he goes potty, praise him a lot for being a good dog.

Dogs will also walk in tight circles with their nose to the ground when they have to go to potty. Whenever you see this behavior ask the dog, "potty outside?" and take him out immediately. Again, as soon as he goes potty, praise him a lot for being a good dog.

If you're consistent and vigilant he should be house-trained in no time.

Lots of people may suggest that you watch "the Dog Whisperer" but actually the Humane Society of the United States is encouraging people NOT to watch the program because some of the techniques used on the show are antiquated and brutal. Example: the guy once got control over a dog on the show by knocking it to the ground and kneeling on its neck until it fainted from blood loss to the brain.

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/aL25W

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 8

There are a few real keys to dog training, whether you are trying to train your dog to come when called, sit, stop barking or any other behavior. Understanding their importance is critical to achieving rapid results that are long lasting and help develop the bond between you and your dog. Learn more http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?5GFt

The first is simple; you must win your dogs mind. If you don’t achieve this first then you will be struggling the all the way. When I talk about winning your dogs mind what I really mean is that your dog looks to you for all the decisions. Before you do anything else watch one of the amazing video sites that show you the 5 Golden rules to establishing yourself as the pack leader. If you aren’t putting these in place then you are setting yourself up to fail. Just at the crucial point where you really want your dog to listen they will go and do their own thing. For sure your dog may play ball occasionally or even most of the time, you may even have a dog that is obedient 99% of the time, however if you want a dog who always listens to you and does as you ask then you need to win your dogs mind.

The second key to success is to motivate your dog. It is really important that you discover what it is that your dog enjoys both in terms of exercise and play but also in terms of a reward. If you can make the experience enjoyable then you will both achieve more and look forward to training.

Some dogs love to fetch, others love agility, and other dogs simply love obedience training, or swimming out into water and retrieve. At least to start with find out what your dogs love is and help them develop this, what I am saying is work with your dog. The other point to recognize is to make training enjoyable reward your dog.

Answer 9

praise him when he does go outside to do his business. he will keep on doing that since he gets treats and praise from you. and about the jumping try to use the sit command or walk away when he jumps on you to show that it is NOT okay to jump on people. if he starts to realize that he can't jump on people then praise him. but the best advice is to see a professional who knows about dogs. also watch animal planet. they have shows on how to train dogs and puppies. good luck!!!
