How can you potty train your dogs fast?????

Question

I have 3 dogs that need to be potty trained!! I need to train them in like less than a month. What are some fast ways to potty train them?

Answer 1

In my opinion, crate training is the only effective way to potty train.

Keep them in a crate, and take them out every few hours. You can let them play for a short while out of the crate after they've been out ONLY if they went potty outside. If they refuse to go, they have to go back into the crate. The only time they're really unlikely to go potty is just after they've evacuated.

Eventually, they'll figure out that they need to go outside to potty and they'll wait.

This isn't necessarily a fast process, but if you're diligent it will go much faster. Mistakes (ALWAYS your fault--remember the dogs don't know any better yet) will set you back time-wise, so you have to keep on top of it. Speaking from lots of mistake experience leading to a VERY long potty training for our puppy. Not very nice for anyone.

Also, praise them when they potty outside, but only scold them for pottying inside if you catch them IN THE ACT. They won't associate the punishment with the potty otherwise. I usually say, "NO!. OUTSIDE, OUTSIDE." forcefully if I catch Betsy going potty inside. Then, I praise her effusively if she goes outside to finish so she gets the negative-positive association with the same incident.

THis worked on our other two, but being really on top of it is the most important thing.

The crate method offered by others is the most effective. As soon as it comes out of the crate or finishes eating or sleeping, take it out.

Also, try hanging bells on a rope off of the doorknob. Everytime you take your pooch out to take a dook, use it's paw to ring the bell. Within a week or two, your dog will be ringing it on it's own.

When it has to go it will let you know. I have a border collie that I bell trained in two weeks. I started her when she was only 6 1/2 weeks old.

Answer 4

Crate training is the best way because you need to keep the pups from going potty in the wrong places like the house. Dogs will naturally not want to soil their own space like their kennel (but remeber that they made not be able to physically hold it for too long so they need to be regularily taken outside). Now you may want to consider using a bell. I have done this with all of my dogs with great success just hang a bell by the door so they can easily touch it with their nose, and every time you take them out ring the bell say a command like "Let's go outside!!" emphasize that going outside is a good thing. Whenever they come out of the kennel, eat, or drink anything immediately take them outside, (remember to ring the bell) Once you are outside pick a command like "potty" or "hurry up" and keep repeating it until they go and then use treats and tons of praise! It may sound like a lot to do right now but it is well worth it in the end. I have a five month old boston terrier and she rings her bell when she has to go outside and will go on the command of "hurry up". If they do have an accident in the house the only way you can repremand them is if you catch them in the act. 20 seconds after the go they will not remember and NEVER EVER EVER rub their nose in it. This is not effective but just cruel and inhumane. Your pups will also remember their good experience of praise and treats when they go outside oppossed to them cruely being forced into touching their "mistake" on the floor. Using the same schedule every day also helps make taking them outside part of your routine if they are asked to go potty outside at the same time every day then their bodies will more easily adjust to going outside instead of in the house. Well I hope this helps, just be PATIENT! One day it will just click and they will never forget after that.

Answer 5

all of the answers you already got are good but i just wanted to add that you should put bells on the door and teach them to ring the bells whenever they need to go out. do this by ringing them yourself to get their attention and then put them outside immedately. dogs are not that stupid so they should catch on pretty quick. my best friend just got a puppy who is only about 3 months old now and she already has everything down pat! good luck! it also depends on what kind of dogs they are... you should go online and check out their ability to obey and do what they are told. all different kinds of dogs learn at different levels, so do some research and see just what your dealing with exactly. you should also try puppy pads that have a urine scent so that they only go in one spot until you get them all the way trained. we use those for my cat! haha

Answer 6

Crate train them. Very simple fast and easy

Answer 7

Go here for an awesome dog training program http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?xY56

Since it is obvious that you do not have a clue about obedience training, your services should be for free. You cannot train even an adult dog for 8 hours a day. About the most that can be done at any one time is 10 - 20 minutes and that is with an adult dog and not a puppy. The attention span on this baby is extremely short and training session should be no more than 10 minutes and twice a day. Additionally, there isn t going to be much learned if you will only be training for 5 days. Obedience training is cumulative and is done over a much longer period of at least several weeks to several months.
What you can charge is determined by your experience, reputation, and accomplishments and in a case like this, should also include guaranteed expectations. Just working with dogs over several years, is not the experience that is necessary to be a dog trainer. There are too many people who are putting that title to their name and fleecing the public. Don t be one of them.

Answer 8

Potty training dogs is easiest when they are young puppies, and this rather long page outlines a basic method. There is a list of tips, and links to a couple of useful dog housetraining ebooks as well.

With adult dogs and older puppies who are not housebroken, you often have more of an uphill battle because they have some undesirable habits to unlearn. There's a section on potty training dogs when they are older further down this page.

The key to success is the timing of IN and OUT. Young puppies take IN food or water and usually within 15 or 20 minutes, they pee or poop OUT.

So your job is to get the puppy to where you want him to be in time for that OUT moment.

You have a life and you won't always be there, even if you are just answering the phone. So cleanup is part of the process of potty training dogs.
Basics of the Method

Here are the basics of a simple potty training routine for a puppy.

1. Take him outside (and stay till he's done or a long time has gone by with no results):

*

As soon as he wakes up in the morning (You don't have to be awake.. much!)
*

Right after his breakfast
*

Right after his lunch
*

Right after his naps
*

Right after taking him out of his crate
*

Right after his dinner
*

Right after any snacks of much size
*

Right before his bedtime
*

If he whimpers in the night

Praise him in a cheery voice when he produces.

2. Only feed him and give him water when you can take him outside right away. Especially in a hot or dry climate, you would normally never let dogs be without access to fresh water, but for the weeks that you are training, this limitation will speed up the potty training process for your dog. There will be fewer accidents and so the dog will more quickly learn what you want. But use your judgment about any risk of dehydration.

3. When he does pee or poop where you don't want him to, quietly clean it up in a matter-of-fact way. This isn't a time to talk either loving or annoyed talk to him; essentially ignore him while you do the cleanup. Certainly never yell or physically punish him in any way.

4. When you and he are both home, keep him with you as much as you can, whether at your side (a leash can be handy for this once he accepts it), in a confined area, or in a crate, or otherwise nearby. (If you are crate-training, do keep the puppy in the crate as little as possible.)

Tips

### Keep in mind that you are building a relationship at the same time that you are teaching him one of his first lessons. Think sometimes about what the world must look like from his perspective, filled with giants who are sometimes very loving and other times confusingly angry. Practice patience!

### Potty training dogs isn't always fun -- you are waiting for the puppy to go, in whatever your climate can dish up and at all times of day. If the puppy is running loose in a safe place, this is a good time to do a few stretching exercises while keeping an eye on him. Even if the puppy is on a leash, you may be able to do some simpler ones. If you do a bit of gardening or something else, be sure it doesn't get your attention so much that you are distracted from your job of watching the puppy every moment, so you know when he has done his job.

### Don't take him back in the house the very moment he has done his stuff. He is likely to notice that the fun of being outside ends abruptly once he eliminates, and this is not an idea you want him to come up with!

### My husband and I train our puppies by saying "Do your stuff!"just as they pee or poop. After they have heard the phrase maybe a few dozen times, you can begin using it to encourage them just before they are actually doing their stuff. Eventually, it will be helpful when you are walking them as adults. I must admit I have never had a dog who heard me say that and always immediately performed, but it does help them get the idea. It's just part of my routine for potty training my dogs.

### If you are clicker-training, you could click when the dog did his stuff where you wanted him to, then give him a treat a few moments later, when he is done.

### Physically, puppies vary in how old they are before they have control of elimination, but if you bring your puppy home around the age of 8 weeks, which is considered the ideal age, expect a month or two of accidents. They will become rarer as this time goes on. I did have one Australian Shepherd who never once went in the house, from 8 weeks of age. On the other hand, my Basenji pup hated the heavy rain where we lived then and used the living room carpet for longer than I care to remember. I wasn't sure how much was physical and how much was her attitude.

Answer 9

Crate training is the fastest. They each need their own crate just big enough for them to stand up, turn around in and lie down.

Answer 10

try taking your dog to a potty training class. i think they have some in petsmart! also when your dog has to "go" take it outside so it will get comfortable doing it outside, goodluck!
