we are training our new puppy any tips to get her to go to the toilet outside?

Question

We have been training so far using puppy mats in the house but now she is able to go outside - she has now been going out for the last week but has yet to go outside and waits to come back in any tips???

Answer 1

Well if like most people you have trained the pup to use paper inside, move the paper to outside and praise she for using the paper outside, it worked for me i did have to keep the door open and leave the paper outside from time to time tho.
Good luck

The mats were a bad idea - because you have actually already potty trained them. Now you must break an old habit and retrain onto a new one.

You can do two things:
1. Continue to use the mats but move it closer and closer to the door each week. Once the mat is at the door move it outside on the grass to get the puppy acclimated to using it outdoors. Make the space smaller and smaller till the puppy isn't using the mat anymore as an aid.

2. Discard the mats all together. Feed and water the puppy on a schedule. Put the food down - give the pup 10-15 min to eat. If he doesn't eat pick up the food and feed again next time. After the puppy eats wait any where from 15 min - 30 min and watch for signs such as... Running to a certain spot (probably where the mats used to be), circling, excessive sniffing, back arching, squatting, even scratching.

When you notice these signs click the leash on - say your code word to go potty and take the puppy outside. Be patient. Take the puppy to same spot each time - he'll be more inclined to go if it smells like him.

Make sure for either step you choose to NOT punish the puppy for accidents in the house. It makes the problem worse and creates a shy anxious dog.

And to heavily treat and reward your puppy for going outside. While your dog is going potty outside repeat over and over "go potty". You'll be training your dog to do it's business on command.

Also make sure to have a code word for going outside to do the business and a different word to go outside for walks or play. That way the puppy/dog will know what it's going outside to do.

Clean the mess with things like Simple Solution or Nature's Miracle because they break down the enzyme the puppy smells so it won't keep going to the same spot.

Also you can use thing such as Boundery as a potty deterant to prevent the puppy from using places in your home as a toilet.

Good Luck

I have a puppy staff, like your pup she is now able to go outside. What we did was move the newspaper closer to the door each day and take her outside. More often than not she is still going to the toilet in the house (On newspaper), when she does this we just ignore her but when she does it outside she gets a treat and plenty of praise. She is still very much in training as most days when I'm at work she does still go inside but like anything it takes time and Patience.

Good luck and hope this helped a little.

That definitely happens at first when training a puppy. They want to wait until they get back inside to do their business. I would take a treat outside with me and when she goes outside, give her a treat and praise her. Also, you have to remember, puppies bladders are not fully developed until around 6 months (or more) of age, so you can't really get mad at them for going inside. I'm training my new pup right now too. I haven't let her go outside yet because the weather has been bad. I have figured out you have to have multiple pads throughout the house, they don't just go to that one pad everytime! Good luck.

I had a similar problem when i was trying my little pup last year.
I would put her out in the garden and she would run back in and do her business on the puppy pad.
It isn't an easy task, but the best advice i can offer you is that you place a puppy pad next to the exit you would like the pup to use, then every time she eats, plays, wakes up etc take her outside and use your chosen word to ask her to do her business. Eventually she will sit next to the door to get out and now my little pup barks and i let her out, no "accidents" for a long time!
Hope all goes well for you!

Answer 6

We have never used training pads, although I did raise a puppy on newspapers once (and once only!).

Take the puppy outdoors frequently...every couple of hours during the day and once or twice at night. Praise her when she does her business outside. Ignore her (NO pushing her nose in poo) when she messes indoors. Use one of those odor eliminating cleaners when you clean up after her or she will always go back to that place. It takes time and patience to train a puppy. She will get it eventually and probably sooner than you think. By 5 months she ought to be going outside regularly and holding it through the night.

Answer 7

I am also training a puppy. He will be 12 weeks this Sunday. We had him for about 2 weeks. We decided to crate train him and he is doing very well with it. You can go on the web and look up crate training you puppy there are alot of helpful tips there. The number one important thing in training your puppy is keeping an eye on him 100%. If we can't we put him in his crate. Dogs do not like to mess in there bedding area. Our dog maybe had about 4 accidents in the house this week and two of the times I caught him in action and stopped him before it got to bad. Always let her out after she eats, naps, in the morning when she first gets up and after she plays hard. But like I said there are alot of websites about training puppies that really helped me. Good luck

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aL2qc

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Answer 9

I would suggest not using the pads. If it's a small dog gate off an area of the house while your away. (kitchen no carpet) Then when you get home take him or her outside right away. Use a command like "go outside" so she or he gets use to that. It wont take long and your puppy will wait to potty outside. You need to set a schedule for them to go outside.

Other option is a doggy door, they work great if you have a fenced in yard.
