How do you house train your puppy?

Answer 1

Some people are different I dont know how you would want to go about doing it:) But Mine are both 6 months old and they are both house trained:) Took alot of time a patients.. I know that I have never had problems with poopin in the house:) But they like to pee.. Just simply smack there little behind show them the spot and tell them no either you can put them in a cage or you can take them outside.. The cage worked for me:) Some people dont believe in smacking.. I dont do it hard.. Just to let them know that its not friendly:( Eventually your puppy will get the point and not do it.. My Rotti she hasn't used the bathroom in the house since she was about 3 months old:) All thanks to the cage.. Thats only when they get in trouble when they go to the cage:) I hope you find the answers your lookin for:)
GOOD LUCK... Sunshine

Answer 2

Most professionals will tell you to watch your puppy carefully and when he starts sniffing around, its a sign the puppy is looking for a place to piddle or poop.

Gently (without panicking) pick the puppy up and take it outside. This takes patience. Eventually the puppy understands, that defecation and urination are not names foreign countries and thus relieve themselves outside.

Puppies (or grown pets) will usually want to piddle within minutes after drinking water - or poo within minutes of eating its food. Thats when you need to observe your pet. It doesn't always take place immediately. Some will wait till five to ten minutes later, or even longer but thats usually with older dogs.

Puppies haven't learned to hold it in yet, so - its "almost" a sure bet they will want to "do the doo" or "free pee" almost immediately after eating or drinking.

Slapping a puppy or shoving its nose in its own urine or poo is absolutely stupid (no matter how many people swear it works - it don't) because the puppy does not associate the punishment with what it did.

ALWAYS PRAISE THE PUPPY when it does its job outside. Reward is far better than punishment.

Answer 3

No lie, my mom has trained her dog to use dog litter - yes she goes to a dog litter box to use the bathroom. My mom actually takes the litter box with her when she goes on vacation. She said she put plastic on the floor, then newspaper on the plastic, put the box on top of the newspaper. She says there's some stuff you spray to make them go to the dog litter box (she doesn't know the name). The litter is called, Purina second nature dog litter. You can purchase the box, etc. at a pet supples store. The litter comes in a 7lb, or 25 lb bags. My mom says she also puts in shredded paper (just shred it in your shredder) so she doesn't use up all of her litter. She says the litter does not have an offensive smell at all. Trust me, this dog used to use the bathroom all over the house. Don't give the puppy free run for a while, my mom says she does the training when she feeds her. Put her food in the room you want her to use the litter box. Hope this helps!

We used a Pavlov reversal. In other words, she rings bells attached to the door to illict a response from us (let her out).

It was very simple and quick training with our Golden. We purchased Christmas bells and hung them so that they were just about nose-level for her. They were hung from the door she'd be going outside through. Every time we took her outside, we made her ring her bells. When she was still a baby-baby, this meant that we'd have to put her front paws on the bells and ring them. We always used the baby-voice with her and told her what a good girl she was for ringing the bells. When she rang and went potty outside, she got all the love and affection she could deal with.

About 4 days after we put the bells up and made her ring them every time we took her out, she rang them herself. Whether or not it was becuase she knew she needed to go out or curiousity, it didn't matter. It illicted the same response- "What a good girl ringing your bells!" and then we put her leash on and took her outside until she decided to go potty.

She picked up on it very, very quickly. She was completely housebroken in about 3 weeks and has had 4 accidents since that time (she's now well over 2). We have moved three times and lived in a hotel room during that time. We were nervous about the job-training in a nother part of the country/hotel room for 7 weeks becuase she was only 6 months old. She never once had a problem becuase we just put the bells on the hotel room door. It works wonderfully when she goes to visit other people as well.

Granted, at some point, they will realize that they can get attention simply by rining the bells. It's that ornrey puppy stage (about 6-9 months). At that point, you will know your dog well enough to know when they need to go out and when they're doing it for fun and games.

We swear by it! Best wishes and happy house-breaking!

*The most important thing is that you can hear the bells. Whether you need to get a lot of them or one of the leather strips with the four or five bells on them. Whatever works best for you. At this point, we have two small Christmas bells way up high (as she can reach them) and barely notice them. It won't destroy your or your wife's decor for too long!

Answer 5

You start taking your puppy out every time the puppy wakes up and after the puppy eats....keep doing that steady. In two weeks my mom has her dog house broken. Good luck.

Answer 6

get poppy pads first and start from there, make sure that every time you see the puppy about to go to the bathroom you take it tot the pats. Aslo everything they go at the pat make sure you reward them either with a treat or TLC... as they get older you need to get them in a schedule for walks so they can do their business.

Answer 7

GET SOME DOG PEE-PEE PADS, EACH TIME HE/SHE USES THE PAD, GIVE A TREAT, MOVING THE PAD CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE DOOR. BEFORE LONG, YOU WILL HAVE A HOUSE TRAIN PUPPY.

YOU CAN ALSO GET PEE-PEE SPRAY WHICH PREVENTS THE PUPPY FROM PEEING ON FURNITURE AND ECT.

GOOD LUCK :)

Answer 10

Well to train our puppies we bought pads to lay out on the ground and once they would poop we would try and put the poop on the mat. They soon started to poop on it and and began to pee on it too.

I HOPE THAT HELPS YOU!
