Answer 1

I think we should place this in the Montreal News..
You have to spend the time it takes to potty train them... It is not something they do on their own.. you have to help them out.. as a pet owner YOU should know how... now just take the time to do the job

Answer 2

The best way to housebreak your puppies is thru kennel training (crate training). Your kennel should be just big enough for your pups to turn around and lay down. Most dogs will not "potty" in their beds, so if you keep it small enough, it will not be used as a bathroom. Any time that you are unable to give your pups your full attention, they should be in their kennels. ALWAYS take your pups outside as soon as being removed from the kennel and always take them to the same place in the yard (away from any play areas) to do their business.

When you are spending time with your pups...watch for signs that they have to potty (sniffing...circling...etc) and take your pups to the designated area as soon as you see any of these signs. If your pups do squat inside...correct them with a firm NO and take them outside to their spot. Never try to discipline them AFTER the event. They'll just learn to hide it. If they potty in the house while you're not paying attention...it's not they're fault...it's yours. So the best thing you can do is just clean it up and watch a little closer.

The breed of your puppies may determine how long it takes for them to "get it"...also at 4-5 months old, they should be going outside at least every 4 - 5 hours. Just be consistant and watchful. They'll figure out what you're wanting them to do.

Good Luck!

Ok... all it takes is patients, disapline, and training. I would know trust me, one of my four dogs took 3 years to potty train completely!

To prevent this from happening, let them out about every few hours or more often depending on when and how much they ate. Keep an eye on them... if they are sniffing around, they might be looking for a place to do their business! So put them outside when you see the signs.

When they do poop, take them to where it was ( but only if you know which one of them did it) and put its face close enough to it so that it can smell it... then repeat " No, bad dog, no, bad" in a stern voice ( not loud) I know it's hard, but you are gonna have to give them a good smack too. It gets the message through to them. Then after you do all that, put them outside for a while.

When they do their business outside then you need to congratulate them with praises and lots of pets!

If you do it right, it might only take a few more months to do the job...

GOOD LUCK! : D

Purchase "Puppy Pads" - they have a scent that attracts dogs to go to the bathroom on them.

Keep it beside the back door, and when you see your puppy beginning to go to the bathroom - scoop him/her up and put them on the pad.

When they are consistent with the pad - move it just outside the door on days you can be with it to show it where the pad has gone...

Keep working, and eventually the puppy will learn to cry at the door when it needs to go out to the bathroom.

This is a rather simplistic explanation - but I was able to train my babies when they were 3 weeks old. The introduction of the pad might be just what does the trick.

YA GOTTA CATCH EM IN THE ACT. IF YOU DO PICK THEM UP AND PUT THEM OUT SIDE WHERE YOU WANT THEM TO POOP AND THEN TELL THEM HOW GOOD THEY ARE. oops sorry for yelling. OR YOU CAN RUB THEIR NOSE IN IT AND TELL THEM BAD AND PUT THEM OUT SIDE WITH THE POOP . oops I yelled again. sorry it get's stuck. Anyway if that doesn't work your not taking them out enough but most likely they are just pups so you gotta deal with it until you figure out what works on their little heads. Try taking them to a place that has dog poop already outside. This is what dogs smell for when they need to poop.If they can't smell it they can't do it

Answer 6

You have to take them to the dumps - scold them loudly as you almost push their face into it and carry the dog with you as you take the "dump" outside.
And it is a matter of timing on your part....knowing when the dog will do his business and tell the dog"Cmon, lets go outside for pee pee"
If you watch you will note that the dog does its business at a certain time every day. No different than yourself.

Answer 7

to housebreak my puppy, whenever he would start to go to the bathroom instead I would grab him and take him outside very quickley. When he would go to the bathroom outside I would go out of my way to REALLY REALLY praise him and give him a treat. Positive reinforcement. It really helped and now at age 2 the only time he messes inside is when he gets overly happy/exciting and has some happy tinkle accidentally.

Answer 8

Well first of all congratulations on your new member of the family.Many people do not understand why their dog does not know what to do when taken outside. Just turning him loose in the back yard a few times a day is not the way to house train a dog. Merely taking him outside also does not mean that he knows what he is being taken outside for.

Housebreaking in theory is very simple. It is finding the means of preventing the puppy from doing his business in the house and only giving him the opportunity to do it outside. It also means that the dog leearns to communicate with you about going when told and letting you know when he has to go outside. A dog is an animal of habit and because he learns by association, if his training is consistent he will learn that there is no other place to relieve himself other than outdoors.

You need to take advantage of a very natural instinct of the dog-his desire to keep his sleeping quarters clean. You need to offer him a den in the form of a crate either wire or plastic. This becomes his bed that he cannot get out of. If the crate is the right size he will not soil in it. Puppies will not initially like it but within a few days they will accept it without a problem. A crate is also for your dogs protection and for your piece of mind unless you want him to mess in the house and chew up all of the things you work so hard for in life.

The question you need to ask yourself is would I rather get the dog used to the crate or clean up dog crap on my floor. An easy question to answer. Puppies do get over the fact that screaming will get them nowhere-as long as you ignore it do not take them out of the crate when they are yelling. Those dogs know that if they make enough noise they will be free to roam and mess whereever they want to. People who give in create their own problems.

When thinking of the size of the crate think small. Think den not condo. The use of too large a crate will encourage the pet to use a small portion for a bed and the remainder as a place to relieve himself. The puppy should only be able to relieve himself outdoors. Never use a crate as a place that your dog goes to when he is punished.

A puppy should never have free run of the house unless you have your eyes on him at all times. If he poops in the floor b/c you turnes your back for 45 seconds-well you screwed up and made a mistake don't blame your pup for it. the only time they should be allowed to be loose in the house is after they have gone outside and even then only for short periods of time.

puppies must go outside first thing in the morning and I mean first thing. He has been clean all night and holding it all night he will go in a hurry beacuse he has to go. Now bring him in a nd give him freedom but only in the kitchen. A baby gate at the doorway is a great barrier. After you eat breakfast take him out, then feed him his and take him out immediately. Remember the rule OUTSIDE AFTER EATING-SLEEPING-PLAYING.

The bottom line is you cannot take your dog outside to much. If you take him out every hour then he learns that he will have a chance to go outside. When taking him out ask him if he WANTS TO GO OUTSIDE just before going out and praise with a GOOD OUTSIDE or GOOD BOY when he does go.

One last point on housebreaking. Commercial or store bought dog food takes 14-15 hours to go through the dog, a natural diet takes 5-6 hours.

Pointers on housetraining:

1.Do not vary your dogs diet

2.Treats should only be given as a reward for going potty outside or for going in his crate.

3.Praise everytime you see him pee or poop. Do this forever, reinforcing good behavior never hurt anything.

4.Bring him in as soon as he does his business.

5.Exercise brings on the urge to pee and poop. So if he won't go play for a few minutes and see what happens.

6.Puppies should never be punished for relieving himself in the house unless you catch him in the act. Catch him in the act or scolding is no good.

7.Always give a VERBAL punishment NO HITTING under any circumstances.

I hope that some of this has helped I use it on my 5 week old puppy and he hasn't gone potty in the house for 5 days now.
Good Luck
