I live in an apartment building and I have a 10 wk old puppy (I got him when he was 8 wks old). It would be impossible for me to take him out every single time he needed to use the restroom --the wind chill where I live is below zero degrees Fahrenheit!! Since I got a pomeranian, I decided to litter box train him. It is going very well. I highly recommend it. The only thing I would do differently is use doggy litter instead of the kitty litter newspaper pellets because my dog keeps trying to eat them!! I ordered a wizdog litterbox with a grate that allows urine to go down to the newspaper and the solid waste to be caught on the surface. After a dog poos, you can flip the grate upside down and let the poop fall into the newspaper. Check out the website if interested:

first don't train your puppy to potty on paper. this confuses a pup on which to potty on, inside or outside. you are best to get a crate and crate train the pup. you don't want months down the road to try and read the paper only to find your puppy went potty on it. crate training works best if you have the correct size crate. the pup should have enough room to stand up, turn around and lay back down. it also provides the pup a safe place to be, so they're not out getting into harmful things in the hosue when you aren't there or able to watch them. make sure you plan plenty of exercise time for the pup also. 2 walks at least a day is best. here is a great site on crate training. it not only will tell you how to do it properly, but why crate training works so well. good luck, and congrats on your new pup!

As soon as you get home you should take the puppy outside to his designated spot. That way he can mark his spot right away. Puppies usually go on the same spot all the time. If you can't take him out because of the weather, then I suggets you use newspaper and designate a spot for it where the puppy can have access to it. Do not put newspaper all over the place because that confuses them. Make sure that when you take him you tell him what he is doing (potty,poo,paper) and when he does it praise him. Make sure that you take him to his spot 25-20 minutes after he eats.

Congratulations on bringing a puppy into your life. The breeder has proberly started the paper training in the whelping box. Puppies do not like to mess where they lay. After eating or sleeping, imediatley taken to your chosen spot. Praise for a good job. Do keep the puppy confined to a small area when you can't watch it. My Granddaughter just bought a book "House Training for Dummies" as she was getting a dog.

Sounds like you are using the normal train techniques. Be sure you clean her "spots" well with an enzyme cleaner. Be patient, often outside and reward her with praise when she does go outside and do your best to ignore her accidents inside. Just grab her and rush her outside when you see her sniffing around. Try leashing her to you when you are home with her loose. That way you will remember to keep up with what she is doing. Take away her water after 8pm so she doesn't tank up on water before bedtime. Confine her space at night to her crate or to a tiled bathroom area. (at least until she learns) Don't leave food down for her to graze. Give her specific meals times so you will know when she needs to eliminate Most dogs will potty about 20 to 30 minutes after a meal. If you know when it goes in you can predict when it will pass through. I am told that Yorkies are especially hard to train. I have only had one Yorkie and did not have any problems and I wish you well.

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tinyurl.im/LObL9

If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.

It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

A well-trained dog makes everyone happy, including his owner. Take a little time training him, and you'll never regret it; you'll always have an obedient dog by your side. Find more https://tinyurl.im/LObL9

By their nature, dogs are pack animals with a well-defined social order. Through basic training, you need to consistently make sure your puppy understands that you are the leader, not him. So in teaching him the basic rules, you take on the role of pack leader.

To fit into the family circle, your dog must be taught to recognize his name and such commands as come, heel, lie down and sit.

Yes, do the crate training. My wife's dog was Paper trained and NEVER got off it and still to this day poops in the house on pads for dogs. I hate it. It try to take her out as much as possible but she still poops on the pads. Yes I have tried to remove the pads all together but she goes where the pads would be . Big hassle. Do it right from the beginning. Can be a pain but WELL worth it to you and you puppy. Lots of walk too, get him/her use to them.

Dog training techniques are as controversial as abortion, Palestine and Bill O'Reilly. But, which dog training techniques can you trust to get you out of the dog house? It will help if you think about dog training techniques as being in one of two categories: balanced and imbalanced.

The discussion about which dog training technique to use when training a dog is one that resembles a discussion between an Israeli and a Palestinian. Each one seems absolutely certain of their position and is more than ready to vilify those who don't share their views on dog training. But, if you look at dog training techniques and methods and evaluate their worth and effectiveness based on whether the approach is balanced, it's a lot easier to weed out the garbage.

For the most part, trainers and their methods fall into two main categories. Those who do not use a physical consequence as a deterrent and those who do. There are many variations in the methods used by different trainers however, almost all trainers fall into one category or the other. Some trainers use food as a reward and never allow the dog to experience a negative consequence for a poor choice. Other trainers afford the dog the opportunity to experience a consequence for making poor choices.

The Use Of Food:

Using food is great in the sense that you will probably have a very happy dog on your hands when he realizes that the training comes with an all-you-can-eat buffet. However, using food to train your dog has some pitfalls we think you should be aware of.

Food is great if you just want to impress your guests with a couple silly pet tricks but, in the real world, your dog will probably be much more interested in chasing the cat than hanging around to get your silly, dry biscuit. So, if you are using food as the primary or sole motivator, you're in for some disappointment when it comes time for your dog to perform in the real world.

Strictly Positive Reinforcement:

It is not difficult to find trainers who will tell you they use a kinder, gentler method than those used by consequence and reward trainers. They will tell you that your dog will be emotionally destroyed by the use of correction as a deterrent. Their goal is to sell you on their loving approach to dog training. They would have you believe that their method is much better than those old, barbaric correction methods.

If you try to train your dog with a method of training that is as imbalanced as this, you will be in for some serious disappointments. Sure, it sounds like a great idea; training your dog and never having to correct him for making a poor choice. Never having to do the very thing you like doing the least. However, no matter how distasteful the concept of physical consequence is to you, it is necessary if you want a really good dog. You cannot consistently praise a dog when he does something right and never give him a consequence for doing something wrong, and expect him to turn out balanced.

Consequence And Reward:

In some cases, dog training methods that involve physical consequence as a deterrent cause additional problems. Not by virtue of the fact that the dog received a physical consequence for his poor choice, but because the training was too harsh, improper, or the balance between consequence and reward was not achieved. A bad trainer can destroy any good training system. It is far from true that methods using consequence as a deterrent will result in a fearful dog. It all depends on the skill of the trainer, the manner in which the dog is corrected and the balance between consequence and reward.

Dog training techniques and methods that use a healthy balance between consequence and reward are without doubt, the most effective, healthy training techniques you can use. It is important to remember that consequence in NEVER connected to emotion while reward is always given with sincerity and love.
