Question

Please answer this question!Thankyou!

Answer 1

Gee, where did you get your puppy? Most breeders keep their puppies til at least 8 weeks of age so they can do the ears, and vaccinate at least once, worm and everything else. Probably at this point you have bigger worries than a puppy peeing on your carpet. You have a puppy that should still be w/ his mom for another 3 weeks. She would be teaching him that pee goes outside, and not to bite people, and everything else moms teach their pups.

Anyhow, you take your puppy outside often, like every single hour, if that's too long, then every 1/2 hour. You go with him, when he does something, you praise him. You keep him in a crate when you leave the house, at night time and when you can't watch him. When you catch him in the house looking for a spot, you say AHHHHHHH and you pick him up and you get him outside. Praise and consistency is the key.

You can buy from the breeder but it will be expensive. You can get from the Rescue and it will be cheaper. It will be aroun $1000 - $1,500 for regular non-show dog. However, in the rescue, you don't know the past of the dog so if there's a problem with temperment then you need to be ready in dealing with it. About the doberman from the breeder, you can look on the breeders other dogs about the temperments and you can ask the problem of the breed and can give you more information about the doberman. Look it like this, getting a dog from a rescue is like buying a fish from General petstore on which most of the employees are like students or some have only few knowledge about the pet. But getting a dog from a breeder is like buying a fish from a fish and aquarium only store. Either way, you get what you want buy it will varies from prices and the future companionship of both of you. Others will say that don't get dogs from a breeder because there's a lot of dogs in the rescue but if you are looking for a show dog, only breeder can give you that. If your looking for just s pet and you are out of budget then you can just get from a rescue. Just weight the pros and cons. It's all about yourself on how you deal things and not others. Just and advice, if you are planning to get a dog from a breeder then please love the dog and keep it because we don't want to have a lot of dogs in the rescue. Hope this help.

Your puppy will be much too young to control its bladder and bowels for several more months. It is up to YOU to take your puppy outside every hour or so, and after it has woken up from a nap, been playing hard, and after it has eaten.

This puppy is much too young to have left its mother and litter-mates. Take it back to the breeder if you can, and leave him there until 8 or 9 weeks at least, before you take it back.

You need to feed this puppy at least 4 times a day, and better yet, six times a day. It can't even eat dry food yet, you will have to make a mush for it to lick up.

If you can't take the puppy back to the breeder, do not leave the poor little thing alone at night, keep it in your room next to your bed in a crate or box, where you can touch it if it wakes up. And you will have to take the puppy outside during the night every couple of hours also, or it will eliminate in its crate and defeat your house-training efforts.

What you have there is an infant and it needs to be cared for like an infant.

Answer 4

This is very tricky!!!
The key is to reward good behavior and ignore bad behavior.
Take your puppy out of the crate and outside first thing in the morning. Then reward any pee or poop with a high pitched good boy!! and maybe a treat.
Also take your puppy out every hour on the hour when your home and reward any outside elimination.
When your puppy has an accident in the house, do not reprimand him unless you've caught him in the act, he will not associate the scolding with the action.
If you catch him in the act, a very loud NO!! then scoop him up take him outside and say outside! Soon your puppy will realize that a pee or poop inside, he gets nothing. But go OUTSIDE, and praise and treats are sure to come

Answer 5

I would not suggest taking a pup tis young outside. Sory but I know you willhear this a lotTeh pup should not leave the mother until 8 weeks. Most places have laws that they are not allowed to be sold until 7 weeks.
A pup this young can not have vaccines and by taking it outside you are taking very great chances of the pup getting a serious disease like distemper,Parvo and some ohters.
Teh pup should have been wormed and continu at 2,4,6,8 and 10 weeks. It should get it's first vaccine at 6 weeks and then 9 and 12 weeks.
I would not let the pup out until the second booster shot at the earliest but I wouldn't until the 3rd booster. Teh pup should get the rabies shot at 4 months and if you are going to fix the pup hav htat done at 5-6 months old.

Answer 6

It looks like you need to basically do the opposite of house training a dog.

A site that could help you with your problem is:

http://www.TeachThatDog.com

It focuses on house training but the information should be generic enough that you can just do what it says to do for house training except outside.

For example. If it said to give your dog a treat when it uses the restroom inside, instead give it a treat when it uses the restroom outside.

That should help. Good Luck!

Answer 7

Don't let him roam the house unattended. If you aren't watching him, put him in a good size crate. Take him out hourly to "go" and he will be on the road to being trained. If you see him beginning to go in the house, scoop him up and run outside saying "outside outside!".
5 weeks is very young, but if you do this he will be well trained. It takes dedication. At that age they have to go often. Do not punish. He's way too young. At this age, he doesn't make "mistakes".. you do.

Answer 8

Right now, I think the puppy is a bit too young to really be completely potty trained, but crate training has always worked for my dogs.
You keep them in a crate not too big for them, but not too small either. Basically they stay in it for most of the day, and you take them outside to go to the bathroom. After awhile when the dog doesn't have to stay in the crate most of the day, you just make sure you take the dog out a lot, you don't wait for it to tell you.
Then the dog just knows to go to the bathroom outside.

Answer 9

Why in the world would you have a 5 week old puppy? You shouldn't have it for at least 3 more weeks!

As for the training, crate train him. It's the easiest way.

Answer 10

To train him if and when he not in his crate take him outside every 15 minutes he will get the idea.
