how do you pottie train a puppy?

Question

My daughter has a puppy that does not seem to want to stop peeing and pottieing all over the house (especially in my bedroom)?

Answer 1

umm by the door that you want to let your puppy outside put some newspaper down and pretty much tell her she should go there but im sure it was come kinda of natural .. you can put some kind of plastic under to so it doesnt go on your floor and when shes used to approaching the newspaper you can open the door and let her go out there eventually it should know

Answer 2

First, every time the puppy wakes, eats or drinks, put the dog outside and say "go potty" and when it does praise and praise. You have to be consistent.

Wherever the puppy had an accident, clean the area with WHITE vinegar. It takes away the odor so the puppy won't keep going back to the same spot.

Get one of those potty pad they now make for the puppy so if it has to go and cannot get outside it will not get in trouble when it has an accident. Dogs are pack animals and want to please the Alpha in the house.

Restrict the areas the puppy can go when unable to ensure it cane get outside to potty. We found that the kitchen was a great place, especially to clean up accidents (before there were potty pads). At night put the puppy in a very large kennel with an area with a newspaper and the main area with a nice blanket/towel. The dog does not want to soil its "home."

Puppies are like babies; their bodies needs to mature enough before it can control their bowels, etc.

Consistency by everyone in the house is vital. It addition to the above times, start a habit schedule where you take it out before breakfast, after lunch, etc. And in between, at least every other hour or sooner.

Good luck. You have a wonderful new family member who will love you unconditionally.

I have to agree with banananose_89117. Get some of the puppy pads. Also, take the puppy out every ten minutes. Some say to take them out every 20-30 minutes, but I find that there are less accidents if you take the dog out every ten minutes. This may seem tiring, but we took a friends brand new puppy for a week (because they couldn't potty train him), took him out every 10 minutes, and by the end of the week, he was running to the door when he had to go. He may have an accident, but at least it was at the door. You could keep a puppy pad there! Also, block the doorways with anything around the house, keep the bedroom & bathroom doors closed, and keep your dog in a small area (not tiny). Put a bed, toys, food, water, etc. Always make sure you take the dog out RIGHT after he drinks water, eats, wakes up from a nap, and even after playing. Good luck!

I have just the solution! First you take the puppy to a friend who has a dog or two and they are already trained. You leave the dog there for two or three weeks. Amazingly the other dogs will show the puppy how this is done. You will have no pooppy puppy piles, or wet spots, or have to run outside ever 10 to 20 minutes with a puppy who may be cold and resistant. Your days will be set free of puppy troubles and your friend will be happy you brought the cute little guy over for lessons. Or your friend may not be your friend any more.

Answer 5

Do not yell or abuse your dog, or stick it's nose into it or place it in the crate.

Get peepee pads and place them around the house... also walk your puppy A LOT. About every 30- 45 minutes, walk your dog. Always keep your dog in sight. Continue this routine.

I have a chihuahua and small dogs have small bladders, so its harder for them to keep it in. My dog is 2 years old.. and she still isnt 100 percent potty trained. It is very hard to train small dogs.

But keep the routine up... and good luck!

Answer 6

They have these potty training pads at PetSmart, PetCo or just about any WalMart in the country. They have a scent on them that attracts the pup to it. Once you train him to use the pad, then training him to go outdoors is simple. Try sitting the pad in front of the door and when you see him go for the pad, praise him and let him outdoors. Praise is the key. Dogs, much like children, will do something over and over if the positive reinforcement is there.

Answer 7

Get a crate, or dog house if you call it, and make her sleep in there at night. She won't want to ruin her little home by taking a dump in there. Every few house, take her out to let her go pee. Say "Good girl!" when she goes.

That's how I trained my puppy.

Answer 8

Gee, perhaps that is because puppies don't come house broken!

Google "house break a dog + positive reinforcement". It is a long process and the puppy WILL have accidents.

Sashtou- There aren't any toilets in sight either. Perhaps you'd consider the fact that you're speaking to people from all walks of live and all different cultures?

Answer 9

have you tried crate training. and your daughter has to take the puppy out on a schedule like 30 min after meals the puppy needs to be taken out and first thing in the morning

Answer 10

my sons golden retriever puppy we only kept the puppy in the kitchen area and would put newspaper on the ground and the puppy would only go pee and poop on the news paper I was along process but it seemed to work.
