Answer 2

If your puppy is at least twelve weeks old, you can start his training. Before then, keep him confined to an area he can't hurt, like the kitchen or a bathroom, when you are not directly supervising him.

Get a dog crate of the appropriate size for your puppy (don't forget that he will grow). Then read these articles:

http://www.inch.com/~dogs/housebreaking.html
http://www.petdreams.com/help.php?section=FAQ

Never punish during housebreaking! Praise what the puppy gets right (this is excellent advice for raising children, by the way).

If you are diligent, if you take the pup outside A LOT (like every half hour, and after eating) and give him lots of chances to succeed, if you use the crate correctly and totally supervise him when he isn't in it, he will be housebroken in a very short period of time. Your puppy wants to please you, more than anything else in the world. It's your job to make that possible.

Don't get sucked into any training method that lets him pee in the house (papers on the floor, training pads). Help him learn from the beginning that the house is totally off-limits.

Enjoy your dog!

First you have to make sure you clean everywhere he has peed! Use an enzyme cleaner like Natures Miracle. The enzymes destroy the urine and therefore the scent. It may be amiracle, but it does NOT work overnight. It takes a number of applications and it takes time to work. Don't give up, keep using it.
He is a puppy, he won't understand your words! But he will understand your behaviors. Take him outside often. Every hour or two if you can. When he goes outside, make a big fuss over him, praise him, give him all sorts of good attention. Treats work well too. He is still a puppy, and his bladder is not fully developed and he can't hold it for long lengths of time. If/when he has an accident in your house, be upset make an angry annoyed fuss at the mess..NOT THE DOG..he knows he did it..he has to learn you do not like that behavior. He needs to learn the rules and that you are the boss. Give him time to learn, have patience with him, he is just a baby. With time, praise and patience, he will learn what makes you happy and what doesn't. Dogs just want to make their humans happy.
You can crate train him like others have talked about. It does work. Personally I didn't have that much patience with my dog because he cried and howled everytime I put him in there. And believe me, I tried for weeks, didn't get much sleep and my patience ran out. So I just started to take him out more often and did the "happy potty dance" and that worked for my dog.
Depending on what type of dog you have, you can get what they call belly bands. Although this is not specifically for training purposes, it does save your carpets/floors and your house. They wrap around his belly, you put a disposable pad inside that absorbs the urine and protects your house. Most dogs do not like them it is an annoyance, and many won't go pee-pee in them. It deters them from going where they aren't supposed to go, and indirectly helps in potty training him.

Give your dog love and patience...take him out often...and he will soon learn.

Crate training is the best way! Go to WalMart or K-mart for the best deal. This is not cruel. Dogs who are crate trained from the beginning actually feel safe in the small enclosures, although they act like you are torturing them when you first put them in it.

Keep the pup in the crate when you cannot keep your eyes on him. When you want to take him out to play, first take him immediately outside to the same place to go potty. Once he has gone potty, praise him like you're crazy and then let him in. Usually only for about 15 minutes and then put him back in the crate. Eventually he will be able to hold his bladder longer and can remain out of the crate for longer periods of time.

Not only is the crate wonderful for potty training, it will keep your dog and your things safe. He can't get to your shoes or the Drano!

My dog is 9 years old and still loves to sleep in his crate although the gate is always open since he has been potty trained for many years.

Good luck and have fun with him.

Answer 5

get a crate that is the easiest way to train a puppy my dog has a crate and when we got him we did not allow him outside of the kitchenn as we have a gate that we put up that he could not get to the rest of the house due to we have carpeting and the linoleum in the kitche was easier to clean up and purchase puppy pads they are a god send too but praise your puppy when he goes potty outside and you can give your puppy a treat for going potty outside as well and your puppy should be broke in no time then

Answer 6

A good rule to remember is puppies can hold their bladder for one hour times how many months old they are. Put them on a schedule. If he is three months old take him out every three hours. Take him to the same spot in your yard and reward with a treat when he goes. It might mean very little sleep for a few days but well worth it in the long run.

Answer 7

As with all puppies, patience is the key. Let him out to potty every 2 hours or so and after every time he eats. Praise him relentlessly for doing it correctly.

Also, buy some little bells and tie them on a string to your door knob. Every time you take the dog out, ring the bells with his little paw. Within a week or two, he will learn that ringing the bell means that he can go outside to potty.

Answer 8

A puppy can't be "told" where to pee. SHOW him-take him outside (often) and praise him when he goes. Never take him out of the crate and put him down in the house-first take him out and let him relieve himself.....you do have a crate, right?

If not, that is your first step-get one.

Answer 9

lolz. when he pees in your house, gently hit him on his nose and say NO! and say BAD DOGGY! He will then know he has done something wrong. Clean his mess in front of him with an angry face so he will know he mad you mad. After you are done cleaning, go back and tell him NO! DON'T DO IT AGAIN! Make sure you walk him 3 times a day. And walk him 5-10 minutes after he drinks water. If he eats, walk him 30-60 min after. You need to show him that you are the master and teach him the rules. But don't go so harsh, just let him know he has made you mad and made more work for him. Buy potty mats for him and teach him to pee there in the same way of telling him NO! Soon, he will learn to bark and tell you he needs to use the bathroom. Then you take him outside!

Answer 10

he'll show you signs, like when my german shepherd was a puppy, his tail stood up and curled and he pranced around a lot and sat by the door, sometimes even gave a little bark. you have to associate a word with taking him outside. i just say, "pottie" and if he has to go, he'll usually get jumpy and his tail will start wagging and he'll go for the door. when your dog masters that, you should tell him good boy/girl. good pottie. or whatever word you use. like outside or something. some dogs are different though.

Answer 11

I trained mine on puppy pads, but its hard to switch from puppy pads to going outside afterward. Right after they eat or drink take them out.
