how do i litter box our pug puppy?

Answer 1

I have a small breed of dog that a lot of people litter box train also, an Italian Greyhound. I would put the box (unfortunately) where your pet has all ready gone in the house. If your pet has a tendency to go there already it should be easy to convert your pet to the box being used. Change daily or more if needed and to start use a very wide, low box so your pet can get in and out and turn around with ease. Good luck! P.S. My hubby hated the litter box with the dog and i worked extra hard and now have my Italian greyhound completely house trained, he even goes out in the snow! Oh yeah, I just used newspaper to start.

Answer 2

Yeah, not a bad idea. Some dogs have smaller bladders and can't wait till their human comes home from work.

Call up your local pet store. There are kits available if I recall.
It isn't cat litter, so don't use that. I believe it's specially made for dogs, so you'll want to get that from your pet store.

Here are some URLS that may help. If you need more links just go to google.com and search for puppies+litter box train

Answer 3

I always worry about pups when they are litter trained. Puppies likes to eat their own poop and the litter can get into their intestines and cause a severe blockage requiring surgery.

If you use a dog training device it would be common sense to first look up how to use it before using it. Such devices get a bad reputation by people using it, without knowing how to use it.

If you give a dog a shock, the dog doesn't know what to do. If I go up to you and slap you, you wouldn't know why either and except for the likely impulse to slap me back you would have no idea why I slap you and what I expected you to do so I won't slap you again.

Your dog doesn't even know where the slap came from and what he is supposed to do. Before you use an electric collar on a dog you need to figure out the lowest setting the dog can notice. You start at zero and slowly set it higher until you see a reaction from your dog. What you are looking for is a twitch of an ear, or a startled look. Really, you don't want to hurt your dog, you want to get your dog's attention.

Once you established what level works for your dog, you need to condition your dog. If you want to use a collar for improving your dog's recall, your dog needs to already know what it is supposed to do when you call "come" (or whatever command you use). Now with a collar on, you call your dog, you can give your dog a short shock, but if your dog comes you stop immediately. You want that your dog learn he is in control. If he comes, he won't get a shock. Read up on "how to condition a dog to a electric collar" and don't use the collar again until you understood it.

I have an electric collar for my dog, but I paid a little more than $200 for it, it is rechargeable and I am happy with it. I've read through a whole bunch of reviews for the cheaper collars and they seem to not last very long, though you can get lucky. But I figured I rather spend more one time than a little often.

My dog is also very happy with the electric collar, because if I pull the collar out, he knows he is doing something more fun than a walk on a leash and he loves running off leash.

Answer 7

you don't want your dog thinking it is ok to go to the bathroom inside..... best bet would be to crate train it and take it outside to potty
