How can i house train a puppy fast?

Question

My partner and i just got a puppy, but we are finding it hard to housetrain the puppy, because when we put down poo pad for him, he just sleeps on it and when you take him outside to do a wiwi he doesn't do it outside the moment you bring him in on the pad he wouldn't do it but will the moment he steps into the lounge room.

Answer 1

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 he 'goes'..Give 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 hold pee for about 1 hour per month of age...so expecting any more is unrealistic..a good reason for a playpen or crate at night.. 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, before they are asking to be let out..
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..

Pee pads are VERY confusing to a ppupy! You are telling him it is OK to do it in the house, and then expecting him to learn your limits, at a time when he already has so very much to learn..It rarely works.

I recommend using a soft step-in type 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..

Answer 2

well you are doing it all wrong. Remove the pad. By putting down a pad or paper you are training him that it's ok to toilet in the house.
WHat you need to do is TAKE (not put) him outside as soon as you get up in the morning. Stay with him and tell him to "do a weewee" or similar. As soon as he has gone, praise him and bring him indoors. Then every single hour take him out and do the same thing. If you see him looking around indoor, pick him up and take him out again.
If he has an accident indoors, you must NOT punish him or shout at him as it is your fault for not watching him. At 8 weeks old, puppies do not have full control of their bladder or bowels any more than a 12 month old baby human does.
NEVER EVER rub a dogs nose in it. This bears no relation to what would happen in a wild dog pack. He won't understand why you are attacking and hurting him. It will only make him afraid to the point where he may very well start to eat his own poo in an effort to hide the evidence and prevent being hurt.
Nobody who knows how to train dogs would EVER use such an outdated and brutal method. I am frankly amazed that anyone would admit to such a thing and display their ignorance and cruelty for everyone to see.

Answer 3

House training a puppy can't be done fast. It takes time and patience.
Try newspaper instead of puppy pads.
Make sure your pup has access a nice cosy bed, am sure he'd choose this over the puppy pad!
Watch your dog as much as you can, when you see him sniffing around or circiling this usually means he wants to do something so place him on the paper straight away. Reward him immediately.
If you choose to put him outside instead of on the paper, don't leave him! Stand with him until he does something then reward him!
Once you succeed it will be really rewarding :]
Good luck.

Answer 4

A set schedule will save your sanity and keep the puppies happy. Most puppies need to go w/in less than 5 minutes after they eat, play, or sleep. Take them out often. If you can't be home get them used to the puppy pads. But the problem w/that is that they will think it's ok to go inside. The best thing is to have lots of patience, spend a lot of time looking after them at the beginning so they wont have accidents and definately praise them when they do good. Don't leave water over night. They will go all over the place. Just give it to them first thing in the morning.

Answer 5

If you are going to have a puppy, its like having a new baby, they need watching and loving. I would recommend talking him to Doggy Daycare until he is older and can hold it in that long. Puppies need to have the chance to excrete every 45 mins to an hour. If you crete train him, puppies dont want to pee or poo in their immediate space so you put him in the crete for 45 mins then take him outside immediately to let him excrete. After doing this for a long time he will know that it belongs outside. If your puppy does have an accident, dont shove his face in it, its not his fault. Clean it up and continue with the training. Depending on how old your puppy is and where you live, you might think of buying an outside pen for him.

It's take time to housetrain puppy since he's not physically able yet. He'll be somewhere between 5 and 9 months until he's housetrained.
To start the housetraining first clean with Chlorid or vinegar all the places he's peed or pood in because he chooses the place to go by smell. When he squats don to pee, lift him up and take him to the poo pad. If he pees on the floor, just keep desinfecting thise places, so the poo pad is ideally the only place he'll think of as a toilet.

You need to take him out everytime he wakes up, after eating, drinking or playing, because they are the most likely times he'll want to go. Everytime he pees or poos outside, give him a lot of praise, other times just ignore him. He'll get the hang of it eventually. Good luck!

Hi the fastest an owner has been able to fully housetrain a dog is 4 months, but this is very fast!

So be patient, you need to byt books on the subject and get your research done. Have you spoken to your local dog trainer; some will come to your house and do training with you. And later down the line he will be able to do training classes.

You need to get the idea into his head that the pad/garden is where he needs to go to the toilet. Its good to put sand mixed with dirt down on the ground as this is more of a doggy toilet area, putting the wee towels or a scoop of his own poo in this area will help alot too.

Best of luck

Housebreaking your new puppy is going to take patience. You should begin to housebreak as soon as you bring your new puppy home. Puppies need to relieve themselves approximately six times a day.(lol i go like twice but whatever) A puppy should be taken out immediately after each meal since a full stomach puts pressure on the colon and bladder. A puppy is not physically able to control the muscle that allows him to "hold it" until he is about 12 weeks of age. Before this time, good housebreaking routines should be practiced to avoid having your puppy urinate all over your house. Watch for signs of urination or defecation, such as turning in circles. Take your puppy out often.


Some owners start to think that their dog is being sneaky when really it does not fully understand what it is doing wrong. It knows the mess upsets you but does not understand that it should stop making the mess. To your dog, these two things:

the mess,
and the act,
are unrelated. The trick is to catch your dog in the act and make him understand. You do not need to hit your dog. The tone of your voice is enough to make the dog see you are unhappy. A firm "No! You are not allowed to go in the house. No! No!" is all that is needed. Immediately take your dog outside to the appropriate place. Wait for your dog to go again and when and if he does, praise him. Important: Always praise your dog after he eliminates in the appropriate place.

Answer 9

hi - i have the pleasure of training puppies for my boyfriend.
He is a shepherd.
I socialise and house train them to about 4 months then he takes them to the farm to work.
I try to have them outside with me as much as possible.
Definitely outside straight after they have eaten or drunk anything.
Pretty much it's just a case of in "in and out" all day and all evening.
Praising the puppy for all toilet done outside.
If accidents happen then i put on a gruff voice and show i'm not happy.
If it persists then i definitely rub puppy's nose in it and put puppy straight outside with a scolding.
When puppy wees on carpet a good idea is to use soda water on the area after using a cleaner - it stops the carpet staining.
Good luck

Answer 11

Crate train the puppy. It may take some time to get your dog accustomed to being left in the dog crate, and you will need another way to confine him so you don't push the crate training too fast.

Some people might leave their dogs in the crates too much. How much is too much? It depends on the dog and situation.

Crate training isn't suitable for some dogs. For example, a dog who has spent a lot of time in crates or cages (in a shelter or at a previous owner's) may become very upset. You may or may not be able to overcome this with patient training.

Dogs with separation anxiety may become more upset in a crate than in a larger space.

A strong, frantic dog can get out of most crates, perhaps hurting himself in the process.

Some people just hate the idea of confining their dogs this way. Learning more about crate training often overcomes this dislike, but if you find that it doesn't for you, then use alternatives to crates.



A Basic Crate Training Method
First, of course, you need a crate... For a page on how to choose a crate and a dog bed for it, click here.

Select a good location for the crate -- or more than one location. In your bedroom is good at night, but while you are home during the day, it's best to have the crate near where people will be. Either move the crate around, or some people have two crates. Don't put the crate where sunlight coming in from a window will make the air hot for the dog or force him to be in the sun.

Tie the door open, or even take it off at first. Let the dog notice the crate and examine it if he wishes.

Bit by bit, make it more interesting. Throw toys or treats in. Talk lovingly to him if he goes in. Pet him while he is in the crate.

Begin feeding the dog in the crate. When he is comfortable going in (and this can be anything from an hour to several weeks), then begin closing the door for short periods of time while you are right there.

If he whines to get out, don't let him out and don't sweet-talk him until there is a moment when he isn't whining. Then you can let him out. If you let him out while he is whining, you are teaching him that whining works with you.

With each of the steps, pay attention to what the dog indicates about his feelings. Crate training is most effective when it isn't rushed. If he is uncomfortable at a particular step, back up to a previous one.

Once he accepts the door closed while you are there, begin going elsewhere in your home and gradually lengthening the time you are gone. Having toys in the crate is useful here.

Then leave the house for a very short time and come back, working up to leaving longer and longer.

Close the dog in at bedtime and let it out first thing in the morning. If you are housetraining a young puppy, you will probably be going outside with it in the middle of the night for a while.

And that -- in a nutshell -- is that!


Crate Training Tips
### Never put the dog into the crate as punishment. You want the dog to think of it in a happy way.

### You have to go back to work and your new puppy or dog still isn't completely crate-trained or reliable when loose in the house. What to do? Create an alternative space for a while (see below), or crate the dog and ask a friend or neighbor to come by once or several times during the day, either as a favor or for pay, to let the dog out for a while.

### Be sure to leave some toys or treats with the dog. I've done a page on the Kong, a bouncy rubber dog toy that you can fill with dog treats, peanut butter, cheese, etc., to occupy your dog for a good long time. (It's excellent for occupying an uncrated dog too.)

### If a dog is tired out, he will accept the crate more willingly. That means exercise! Many dog behavior problems diminish with exercise.

### You may have read that crate-training is "natural" because dogs are descended from wolves, who live in dens. While there is a grain of truth in that, a crate is also an artificial confinement device which many people use mainly for their own convenience. So use it as little as possible with the door closed!

### Keep an eye on the crate for signs that the dog became frustrated and tried to get out.

### You can combine clicker training with crate training. Click when the dog goes in, then give a treat.
