how do ya housetrain a puppy to not go on the furniture???

Question

pleez my mom and dad need to know to get our puppy off the furniture

Answer 1

when it is not on the furniture give it a treat and if it is on the furniture scold it.

Answer 2

Easy! Teach your puppy No. When the puppy tries to get on the furniture gently push him off and tell him No in a firm deep voice. Keep repeating this it will take time believe me but it is a fool proof way. You need everyone in the family to do this and stick to it after a few times of being pushed back onto the ground the puppy will get tired of it and settle on the floor. You can also buy a Scat Mat which is a mat you set on the furniture or wherever you dont your pets to go . When the animal touches the mat it sends a lil jolt enough to scare them, think of the lil joke hand buzzers that people use. Set the scat mat on the furniture when youre not there to keep the puppy off. When the puppy tries to get up there he will get a little shock and will quickly associate getting on the furniture with this little shock. Now dont worry this doesnt hurt them and its not inhumane. Here is a website for the Scat mat. http://www.scatmat.com/
I suggest teaching him No first and trying that method first, but the Scat mat will give quicker results

hello there !!!!!!!!!! i have had puppy's all my life and the best way to keep your puppy off of furniture or anything for that matter is get yourself a spray bottle and fill with water and right before you spray your puppy say no get off tell your puppy the same thing every time and good luck! all kids in my eyes should have a pet!!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

well, you could use a cage. or they sell those blue pads at walmart for the dogs to pee on (yes they will pee on that instead of the furniture). or if you have an older dog you could let them out at the same time. otherwise, just make sure you let the dog outside a lot. as in every hour. reward the dog when it goes outside and punish it when it goes inside. saying good dog and bad dog is enough as long as the tones of voice are different. dogs don't like to be yelled at any more than people. other than that just break out the mop. puppies take a long time to house train (sometimes a year or two). if you really don't want it going in the house you'll just have to stay outside wiith it until it goes.

Answer 5

if the puppy goes on the furniture get him/her off. then show that your angry with it. this will make it realize the furniture is your territory. also try giving him/her there own spot to sit on. or if you mean like letting them go out side to do their business, try taking it outside 4-5 times a day then if he does his business in the wrong place just take him outside or something like that

Answer 6

I know this is weird but what you should do, is when he starts jumping up on the furnature, they/you should flick him in the ear. Why? Because when a dog knows he has done something bad, so by flicking his ear, it sends an instant message to brain letting him know that the behavior is bad! It takes a few times but it works. Also, by incorporating the word NO! and put him on the floor will help it. However don't use his name when he does something bad, if you do then you will train him that his name is associated with bad things. You want him name to be a positive thing so he will come to you, etc.
Good Luck!

Answer 7

Stay in charge. Watch your puppy at all times. When unsupervised, make sure it's in a kennel.
As soon as puppy wakes from a nap, take it out immediately. When puppy is at play, watch for sudden distractions. i.e. playing ball and then suddenly puppy wants to go sniff at something...........take it out!!
Puppys usually need to go out at least every 2 hours. Whether he needs to or not. Take him out.
When you take puppy out. Do not pay attention to him. Don't play, this will distract him. Don't talk, this will distract him. Stay with him until he pees. Once he does his work, then bring him back in. Get in tune with him.
Don't allow puppy on furniture until it is thoroughly trained.

Answer 8

I agree with the newspaper thing, but when I housebroke my pup, I was advised to keep using a word to associate with what he's supposed to do. Put his nose in the mess, say NO firmly (newspaper smack here) and say outside (or whatever word you want to use). When he does go where he's supposed to, compliment him with "good boy, doing outside" and treat him. This can take up to a year, but the most important thing is consistancy, everyone in the household must respond the same. Good Luck!

Answer 9

You need to pay attention to ur puppy more. They relieve themselves every fifteen to twenty minutes. Take them out during every comercial break. They will learn to hold it. Do not punish them till after 4 months old. They dont know better and its ur fault for not paying attention

Answer 10

You take the dog out side after eating ,sleeping and playing.
after a few month the dog will get the idea that the dog has to go outside.

Answer 11

They make a spray called "Stay Off" of "Stay Away" something like that. You can find it at Pet's Mart! That should work.
