How the hello do you potty train a puppy?

Answer 1

well, I'm lucky to have my dog because i never have a problem with him.

he was 8 weeks old when i got him and what i did was every time after he eats(15-20 mins. later),play,sleep, i take him outside and it become a routine for us,and i was consistent with it, and he never have an accident inside our house.

3 weeks late he started asking to go outside when he needs to relieve himself. he will scratch the door or stand in front of the door.

you just have to be consistent.no matter how many times he eats,play or sleep everyday i take him out. and when he learned to asked to go outside i didn't have to do it frequently. ( still do sometimes).

i also take him out for the last time before we go to sleep.

very important for me to take him outside first thing in the morning and around 5 or 6 pm. for a short walk.

Answer 2

In my experience, kennel training works wonders. I've used this process with all three of my dogs and will do it with my two new puppies. What you have to do is put the puppy on a schedule, whenever is convenient for you. For instance, in the morning when you wake up take the puppy outside to potty. Once the puppy is finished, put him/her back in her cage. If you work during the day but are able to make it home to let the puppy out that is best. It's best, if you are able, to take the puppy out every few hours, as they have little bladders. Once you get home from work, take the puppy out again and put him/her back in the cage. As they get older they will learn that when you come home that means it's time to go potty. Usually a dog will not soil where they sleep but this doesn't seem to be the case with young puppies. Just remember it is very important to put the dog on a schedule and you can't neglect them. I hope that my answer is helpful. Enjoy your new puppy, they are bundles of joy

ok, im very good at this. u must crate train a pup...in about 3 months depending on how well u've stuck to it, u'll have a potty trained puppy. The dog should be put in the cage at night(sleeps) and while u are gone. Let it out of the cage in the morning and let it out and when u get home from work. Repetion, repetion. The dog will get used to the process and pretty soon u can trust it home along roaming freely in the house.

You are getting good info on training the pup. Use stern voice rather than screaming 'NO!' if and when you catch the dog 'going' where he should not. (shouting and screaming will only make matters worse) This should be all the time, because the real key to this is keeping an eye constantly on the dog until he 'understands' he should be outside, or where ever it is you want him to relieve himself.

Dogs by nature are 'clean about their space' if given the chance not to foul it. That helps a lot. This training should not take long.

Answer 5

There is info on this all over the web. Just type
housetrain puppy
or
housebreak puppy
in any search engine

Sarah F essentially has it. As soon as you bring it home start by feeding it on a schedule. As soon as the pup eats, drinks, or wakes up in the morning, take it outside within 5 minutes. When it goes outside, praise it. It can be done within like 3 days.

Answer 6

You have to take them out a lot and when they go praise him alot! When he goes in your house you take him to it(donot rub his nose or hit) tell him NO. My vet gave me this tip. When you puppy pees or poos wipe it up with a paper towel and place it outside where you want him to go and take the puppy there and let him sniff it and tell him good boy. dogs like to go back to the same area. It takes a while but it did seem to help with my beagle. But remember puppies don't have total control of there bladders till around 4 to 5 months, and sometimes they just can't hold it. Mines 7 months and once in a while we still have acciendents. Just part of having a dog. Good luck to you and your puppy.

Answer 7

once again people DO NOT squirt your dog. If you constantly squirt your dog you are going to be in trouble when you have to give him / her a bath or water for swimming such as a lake.

use a pee pad that you can buy at a pet store and put it where you want to train your dog. Once he is use to the pee pad slowly move it closer to the door and then out the door to you desired spot. It doesn't take long for you dog to get the idea.

Answer 8

get a crate. don't ever use it as punishment, make it someplace the dog wants to go. i could go on and on, but here's a great site that tells you why and how crate training works. it's the best way to potty train. good luck with your new pup.

Answer 10

One way is to hang a bell on the door that the dog would be going out to pee and when you take your dog out to pee hit the bell and make sure the puppy sees you do this. keep doing this until one day your puppy will scatch at the bell and you will let it out to pee. after a while take the bell away and the dog will scratch at the door everytime it needs to pee. it worked on my dogs i hope it works on yours!
