How can you hose train a dog with out papers or pads?

Question

I really need to train my dog to not use the restroom all over the house. If I dont my mom says we have to get rid of him. I have tried pads but he wont use them. Please any ideas will help.

Answer 1

Don't bother "house training" with pad or paper because it teaches the animal it is alright to toilet in the house which is the opposite of what you want.

Dogs don't want to soil the area the consider their den or areas they are enclosed in. So if you put them in a crate when you can't watch them, you are usually safe but don't leave them longer then they can handle.

Whenever they need to go take them outside to wherever you want them to go and wait 10 minutes. If they don't go, bring them in and put them in the crate for 10- 20 minutes. Then try again. Don't give them a chance to go anywhere but where you want. When they go, praise and reward with a treat.

Then they can stay out of the crate for however long they can hold normally and you can watch them. Before they have a chance to go put them back in and wait 10 minutes. Repeat.

If they seem to ask to go out i.e. go to the door, listen and take them out. If they go make a big deal, lots of praise.

Within a week they will grasp the point. Don't punish unless you catch them in the act. In which case a firm no and take them outside and reward if they go, otherwise into the crate.

Within a few months you shouldn't have anymore accidents if you stay on top of things.

Answer 2

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" the dog's bowels and bladder to regular feeding and elimination times.

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

Keep in mind that puppies don't have any conscious control of their bowels or bladder until they're about 16 weeks (4 months) old. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't start training your puppy right away; it means that it may still have accidents in the house until it has better control of its body. (Crate training does NOT work for pups younger than 4 months.)

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 it goes potty, praise it 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 the dog out immediately. Again, as soon as the pup goes potty, praise it a lot for being a good dog.

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

Answer 3

everyone says crate training and they are right. There is nothing wrong with it as long as you do not use it as a type of baby sitter and leave you dog in there all day. I have a 11 week old puppy now that i am crating at night. We keep him out all day and constanlty bring him outside. Whenever you dog is done playing, wakes up from a nap, gets excited, eats or drinks.. bring it outside, I know it sounds excessive, but puppies have small bladders and they need to go alot. When they come in.. give it a small treat.. constantly praise the dog when it goes out side and when it comes in. if you "stay on top" of the problem, it will work.

Answer 4

You didn't give much info to go on. If your dog is older than 5 months go with the four month rule. If he has not been neutered, do so. Intact males will mark. The first thing to remember about house training a puppy is there ability to hold themselves is limited. a rule of thumb is they can hold "it" usually 1 hour for each month of age. 2 months old = 2 hours, 3 months old = 3 hours, etc. when your puppy wakes up (morning, nap, whatever) the pup has to go, right then! take the pup out. when the pup eats or drinks, it has to go, take the pup out. after exercise (play), take the pup out. when the pup does it's thing outside praise it. a lot. tell the pup how good, how smart it is. You have to pay attention to the pups "looking for it's spot" behavior. when you see that behavior indoors, whisk the pup out. If you catch the pup in the act, simply tell it "NO!" and whisk it outside. if you find a puddle or pile after the fact, clean it up with an enzyme cleaner (pet food store) get a newspaper and hit.... yourself in the head and say "I should have been paying more attention" daytime training they get pretty fast. night time training is easier if you crate train the pup. Also remember the one hour/one month rule. you will have to get up through the night to take the pup out. good luck

Answer 5

First of all you need to devote a lot of time in doing this. I hope you have the time.....
I own 2 dogs and never used paper or pads to train them. The first week is so hard (lack of sleep) but it works. I got both of my dogs at age 8-10 weeks.
Stay downstairs with your dogs (no going to bed if possible). Start out with every 15-20 minutes bringing your dog outside. Stay outside until he/she goes to the bathroom PRAISE THEM and give them a treat.
After the first day then going out every30-40 minutes. Do the same. Throughout the week keep extending the time until your dog can hold his/her bladder and go outside.

It takes about a week or week and a half but it has always worked for me. Tiring on your part, but if you want your dog to stay in the family its worth it. I've actually trained my neighbors dog for them as they didn't have the time or patience.

Good luck and I promise you, it will work. Just have a lot of patience and love on your part and your dog will respond to you and train.

Answer 6

Don't use the pads or paper. You'll only have to retrain them later on. Do you have a crate for the puppy? If not, get one and partition off a section just big enough for the dog to lay down in. Typically, they won't go to the bathroom where they sleep. Then, take them out ALLLLLLLL the time for potty breaks.

Answer 7

I have heard from many people that using a pet taxi is a great way to train a dog/puppy. when you leave put the puppy in the pet carrier. as soon as you come home take him outside immediately to use the bathroom, bring him back in and reward him for going outside. feed and play with him for a while. as long as you are home you can keep him out, but at night when you go to bed or when you leave the house make sure to put him back. there will be alot of whining and crying at first but he will get used to it, and eventually learn not to go in the house. the idea behind this is that dogs will not go to the bathroom where they are going to be sleeping. Hope this works for you!

Answer 8

We used a crate to train both our dogs. I know some people think it's inhumane to put a dog into a crate, but honestly they view the crate like their own special bedroom. They won't soil in their bedroom, so they learn to hold it until you let them outside.
