I have a 2 mths old lab pup.He pees and potty inside the house.Am tired of cleaning the mess.What 2 do?

Question

any1 can give me quick methods so that I can teach him 2 learn house breaking!

Answer 1

HE'S 8 WEEKS OLD FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

He should still be with his Momma and littermates. Try crate training. Just remember he can hold it for more than a couple hours.

Answer 2

Housetraining a puppy takes time and patience. Do you have a crate for him? Puppies learn very quickly not to potty where they sleep and eat. Make sure the crate is big enough for him to lay down and turn around but not much more, that way, he'll be more likely to hold it, but don't leave him for too long and expect him to be able to hold it, his bladder is only about the size of an apricot right now.
Only take him outside to go potty, nothing else-no playing or walks yet, until he is housetrained. Take him to the same spot each time so he gets the idea that's where he is supposed to go, and PRAISE!!! this may sound crazy, but acting like a fool works-"you are the smartest puppy in the whole world, I am so proud of you!!" along with a special treat as soon as he finishes goes a long way towards training him. Then take him immediately back inside.
Also, expect it to take a while for him to be completely housetrained, you can expect accidents for up to a year with some dogs.
Just be patient, consistent, and positive. Good luck!

Answer 3

First of all, he's only a baby. Do you have a dog crate for him? Crate training is one way to housetrain a dog. If let out often enough, and there are no health reasons for frequent urination, he will not pee in his crate...sometimes when this young pups still will, but eventually they won't.

Is someone home all day with the puppy? If not, keep him in a crate or somewhere confined in a room with no carpet, if possible...but make sure the room is puppy safe.

If someone is home all the time, take him outside on a leash to an area you don't mind that he pees, if there are areas you'd rather he didn't pee, at least once every hour. (You can do this without a leash if you have a fenced area and don't care where he pees.) If he pees in the house, don't make a big deal about it, just clean it up. He'll eventually get it.

Also, just so you know, 2-months of age for a pup is often too young to hold it all night. Some people get up with their pup and take him/her out. Others use piddle-pads or newspaper. I prefer not to use newspaper and such as it trains them to go inside, in my opinion. It may work for your situation, though.

Make a routine. Try to feed him at the same time(s) every day. Take him outside after a play session and after eating as both stimulate the need to go....also after a nap.

Answer 4

First off, at two months old (8 weeks) he's just barely old enough to be away from mom and still VERY much a baby. He's really not old enough to be housebroken yet and he doesn't have much physical control either. There is no "quick method" for teaching a baby to go to the bathroom in a particular place.

First things first, YOU are the one responsible for making sure he doesn't have the opportunity to mess in the house. You need to be aware of where he is at ALL times and when you can't be physically watching him he needs to be in his own area where it will be easy to clean up any messes (a crate or a dog-proofed room). When he's not in his own area one very effective method for keeping an eye on him is to keep him tethered to you with a leash. You need to know when he's likely to be "full." Take him out immediately after he eats, after he wakes up, and after he plays. He should be going outside at least every 3-4 hours...even overnight (getting a two month old puppy means that you can't get a full 8 hours of sleep and not expect to clean up a mess first thing in the morning). Do not punish him for going potty inside, it will not teach him that pottying inside the house is wrong or bad but it probably will teach him to go potty behind a chair or somewhere else where you can't see it. Just clean it up and vow to do better at avoiding the accident next time. Praise the heck out of him when he goes potty outside. Do a happy dance, use a happy silly voice to praise him, give him fantastic treats, make a big deal of it. Don't play with him outside until he goes potty. Keep him on a leash so that you can see when he does his business. If you've been outside for 15 minutes and you're sure he has to go but he hasn't gone yet, bring him back inside and put him in his area for a few minutes and then take him back outside to try again.

Answer 5

House training a dog can be very difficult and there are truly no easy ways to quickly break him of it. Most importantly, you need to get him on a schedule and because his bladder is so tiny, he needs potty breaks a TON.
I would plan on taking him outside about every hour to go potty and always use the same word-potty, duties, what have you so that he grows accostomed to hearing this and understanding what it is.
Whenever he goes potty outside, make sure you reward him-whether it is with "good boy!!" and a kiss or a small treat or even a piece of food. Just like Ivan Pavlov with his slobbering dogs, dogs can learn anything if you work with them, and potty training is a basic necessity.
If he does have accidents inside, you can say "bad dog!" but only if you catch him actually in the bad deed...
Just make sure you celebrate his successes rather than highlight his mistakes because then both of you will be much, much happier.

Answer 6

Redeyre Rottweilers has the best answer. She has given you everything that you need to potty train your puppy. Hers is - by far the best answer that I have read (ever) on how to train a puppy. Great job!!


2 months old - he can onlny be expected to hold his bladder at a maximum of 3 hours.

That means - every EVERY 2.5 hours (all night too), you need to put him on a leash and say "go potty, go poo poo, go pee pee" and when he goes outside - praise him.

You cannot simply let him outside and expect that he just knows to go.

When he is in the house, he needs to either be in a kennel, or leashed to you. That way, he can't go "hide and find a place to pee" and you can constantly keep an eye on him. If you are leaving, he goes in his kennel. You need one of the appropriate size, if it's too big, he will pee/poop on one side and sleep on the other. Just big enough so that he can turn around.

Also, set up a feeding schedule - regular feeding schedules mean regular poops and pees. I know exactly when my dogs need to poop because of when I feed them.

Answer 7

i might start up perfect around 2. 2 is the excellent getting to grasp point. If she trys to hop of try giving her rewards for making use of the potty. Lik ever time she makes use of it wisely she gets a dime and then on the tip of the month u can take her procuring and he or she will %. out her very own little particular toy.good success!

Answer 8

First of all, this dog is an infant. Please be patient. Puppies of this age are JUST learning to control their bodily functions. Puppies make messes, that is a part of having a puppy.

Here is how to help your puppy get housetrained:

1) The puppy must have NO time unsupervised in your home. NONE. If you are not directly watching the puppy, it should be in the crate, or outside in a safe area. You MUST watch the puppy at ALL times when loose in the house. Use baby gates, crates, or tie the leash to your belt.

2) The puppy should sleep inside the crate by your bedside. This way you can hear if the puppy should happen to need to go out during the night.

3) You must go WITH the puppy outside for ALL trips for
elimination. You must have treats with you. When the puppy is
urinating, say "GO PEE PEE" in a nice praise tone of voice the entire time. When she is finished, pop several treats into her mouth one right after the other, and praise praise praise while you repeat GOOD PEE PEE!. This should be something she gets at no other time, like tiny pieces of string cheese or boiled chicken. Same for defecation. Say "GO POOP" while she is going, and food reward and praise afterwards. You must observe and reward ALL outdoor potty time.

4) Keep a schedule. Feed at the same time, and walk outside at the same times. Take the puppy outside in 2-3 hour intervals, and also the pup needs to go out at wake up time, after any meals or drinking water, and after playtime.

5) Use a key word each time you go out. I say "Let's go out!!" in a happy tone of voice each time I'm opening the door to go out with the dog.

6) If you catch the puppy IN THE ACT of eliminating in your house, CLAP YOUR HANDS, say AH AH, OUTSIDE!! And immediately rush her outside. If she finishes there, do your usual food reward and praise.

The keys to getting your dog reliably housetrained are:

SUPERVISION: NO loose time in the house if you are not watching

REWARDS: ALL outdoor elimination MUST be observed and rewarded. If you only do this ONE thing, your puppy will get housetrained.

PATIENCE: Anger and punishment have no place in dog training. Elimination is a natural and pleasurable experience for your dog. You can teach her to not soil your house, but punishment will NOT help. It will only teach the dog to hide when she needs to eliminate.

If you have applied these techniques carefully for 4 weeks and you are still finding spots or piles after the fact, it's time for stronger measures. Roll up a good sized newspaper tightly and fasten both ends with a rubber band. Keep it handy. The very next time you find a spot or a pile that the dog has left behind, whip out that newspaper, and hit YOURSELF over the head firmly several times as you repeat "I FORGOT TO WATCH MY PUPPY".

Works every time.

This is your best help.
You will get a lot of wrong answers here-but some are good

Answer 10

crate train and don't let run around the house unless you can actually watch him.
2 months old is just old enough to leave mom and just like a todler he needs to be taugh. There are going to be accidents and that's part of being a mom and training.
