Need help potty training puppies?

Question

Hi, I recently purchased a new puppy. This is my first time owning a dog so I'm quite new to this. My question is how to train a puppy to urinate and take a crap outside oppose to random places she has urinated to my house. So far it has urinated and took a crap outside a few times compared to the numerous times it has done in my house whether it's on my carpet, by the door I can't seem to train this dog. I'm new to this to this and I don't know how long it would take but I've had her for a week so far. How long would it take to train a puppy. By the way it's a 2 month old almost 3 month old Siberian Husky. Also the feeding schedule I have for her is I feed her twice a day. I feed her at around 10 in the morning and 9:30 to 10 PM at night. Usually I feed Royal Cannin. After 40 minutes to an hour I walk her after she finishes eating. Is this a good time frame from and after I feed her I should walk her? In need of some suggestions THANKS

Answer 1

Lets just KISS this one kiddo
Keep It Simple Sweetie

Take your puppy outside upon
waking up
eating
drinking water
playing for 10-15 mins
and especially right before you go to bed.

Keep an eye on your puppy and you will soon recognize the *what* that she does right before she goes potty.

When you take your puppy outside stay with her and say your potty word.. I say *hurry up*... once your puppy *goes* bring her back into the house and be very happy and excited and give her a treat...

She will learn to go fast so she can come inside to get a treat...

Good Luck

congrats on the new puppy!! What you need to do is get a crate for her and work on crate training her. If nobody can keep a constant eye on her she needs to go in her crate. Also a neat trick I have learned is if you take a leash and tie it to her and you both so she goes where you go then this will make training her much easier. IF you have evidence of an accident dont be afraid to let her know that it is bad to go in the house and show her the evidence but DO NOT let her watch you clean it up!!! It can become a game to her. Royal canin is a good food to feed, and twice daily is good also. yes the timing is good as long as you do not catch her going before you get her outside. when she does go out side praise her and let her know that you are very happy she went outside. Good Luck

Ok. First the way you train a dog is to catch him in the act, however, don't yell at them. Because freaking out and yelling at your dog when he does something bad just tells him not to do that in front of you. So he'll go some where else where you can't see him and do the same thing. So yelling is a no no. Now, if he is doing something he is not supposed to do you make a "ah ah" sound to let him no not to. (and if u do it suddenly it catches them off guard and scares them a little bit so they know not to do it anymore) The reason you make the "ah ah" sound is because it is the closest sound we can make as humans that a mother dogs makes to her puppies when she doesn't want them to do something. Now it won't work unless you are consistant. That is key with dogs. So don't make the noise one day then scream the next, you'll get your dog confused. Another thing is u should try finding a crate or cage that is big enough for your dog to put him in so he'll have a place to go while you're away. Leaving him out and letting him have free rein of the house is a HUGE problem because he'll soon think that he is alpha male and not you. Many people think that it is cruel to leave dogs in a cage for long periods of time but it's not. See you have to relate everything to the wild which is the dogs original habitat. The mother will leave her pups in their den for up to 23 hours while she is out hunting. F.Y.I. when we think of den, we think of a huge cave. That is not a den, a den is actually only a small hole made and covered to protect the pups. So to get your dog use to the cage every once in a while let him stay in the cage for a nap or some for 2-3 hours, and as time goes on gradually extend the time he is in his cage. I did this with my dogs when they began to tear things up and now they can stay in the cage up to 10 hours! So I hope I've helped. OH YEAH and don't forget to be consistant!

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/aMTO5

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 5

Remember: dogs are not born knowing they go potty outside, not on your rug.
Crate train and when she is not in her crate watch her every second. Dogs go through a routine before they eliminate, some sniff, some circle... when you see that pick her up and run outside and say hurry up (whatever you want the cue to be). If she goes outside, praise her ton. Not just a "good dog", throw a party, run around in circles, give her a piece of cooked hotdog.
Obviously you must take her outside often, I would say every hour, but dogs must go after they eat, sleep, and exercise. Take her out, say hurry up, when she goes praise and go inside.
If you take your eyes off of her and she goes and you don't see her doing it, that is your fault, do not punish her because she will not know why she is in trouble. If you catch her in the act, make a loud noise to stop her and rush her outside. Praise her after she goes. Don’t smack her if she pees in the house, she may just try to hold it forever and develop bladder problems, something you really don’t want, or she’ll just hide to go next time. Don’t correct after the fact. If the dog is corrected after the fact, it will not connect the correction with the behavior, and will begin to think that corrections are random, and that the owner cannot be trusted. This results in a bad relationship and a dog that does not connect corrections, which are believed random, with bad behaviors even when they are applied in time. When she does have an accident, be sure to clean it up with nature’s miracle or something made specifically for urine stains or she will go back to that spot to eliminate again.
I cannot tell you how helpful a crate has been in housebreaking my puppy. He has never had an accident in his crate and when I get him out of his crate we go directly outside (I carry him) and he pees.
I do not recommend pee pads or paper training. When you use pee pads, you are teaching your dog to go potty in your house. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want my dog peeing anywhere in my house, pee pad or no pee pad.

This works, I promise. My dog only had 3 accidents in the house, all my fault, using this method.

first buy a crate ...positive crate training is wonderful. and it takes consistancy.

second - feed your puppy three times a day and make the last feeding around 6pm... this gives you time to take your puppy out before you go to bed.

third - at her age she should be taken out 20 minutes after eating. She should recieve tons of praise for going the bathroom outside.

Answer 10

I was a first-time owner too, in the past couple years.

Never had any pets before.

You have to take the dog out after they wake up, after they eat, after they drink, after they play, and just in general every few hours (probably hour per month, like every 2 hours for a 2 month old, every 4 hours for a 4 month old, etc).

Stay out there 'till they do something (unless it's more than 15 min or something, then come back in and be ready to go back out). When they do, reward them and instead of 'good boy' say some word that you'll want to use when you want to make them potty.

Use a product like nature's miracle where any accidents occur.

I trained my dog to ring a bell when he needs to go. I rang it for him for like two weeks, and just when I thought it wasn't working, he started to do it himself!

Also, when I caught him having an accident, I picked him up, said 'outside' and took him out to finish.

I see somebody doesn't like my suggestions, but they worked for me.
