Answer 2

My son & daughter-in-law have a boxer pup that is now 4 months old. They also have a baby that is now 3 months old. Anyway, when I went over to their house to see the baby the pup was always nipping, jumping etc. I would pop him on the nose (for the nipping) and tell him no in a firm voice. When he wanted to jump on me I put my leg out towards him and stated off. We have 2 german shepherds & a beagle that have all learned with being popped (rolled up paper) and many times all that needs to be done is pop the paper on your leg, wall, furniture along with the firm voice and the pup knows what you mean. I go over to their house now and he's the perfect angel with me and others. If the baby is sleeping then he knows grandma is going to play or may even go outside for a while. You can even use the cardboard from the end of a paper towel roll. It's the noise that's made that creates the deterrent. You can also do uhuh verbally to deter certain actions.

Answer 3

The suggestion of an obedience class is an excellent one. Read here https://tr.im/eNoWU
It will help your dog learn to behave around other dogs, and help keep your training moving forward as you'll want to be prepared for the next class. Also, a good instructor can be a wonderful resource, someone to help you with any questions or concerns about your dog. Leash training can take a LOT of time and patience, depending upon the dog. I'm not sure what you mean by 'horrible on a leash' but my basic suggestion is that you take a lot of yummy treats with you on walks. When your dog behaves well on the leash (not pulling) praise her and give her treats. Change direction a lot so that she learns to pay attention to YOU and where you are going. It's also helpful to teach a "Watch Me" command such that whenever your dog looks at you you praise her and give her a treat. About chewing, yes a Kong is a great chew toy. Some dogs also like Nylabone brand bones. I suggest also teaching a "Leave It" command. You use this when she shows interest in chewing on something she shouldn't. Then immediately give her something she is allowed to chew, such as the Kong stuffed with somethig yummy. This same command will be helpful on walks when she wants to sniff or eat something she shouldn't. Again, when she does leave the item alone, be sure to give lots of praise. I would look into an obedience class right away. I think that you'll find that a good obedience class can help enormously! Good luck and enjoy your new dog.

oh geeze, who got you a puppy for christmas, plonka. There is no quick way, and that sums up why you shouldnt have been bought a puppy as you want a quick method rather than patience.

Crate training doesnt always work, neither do the wee wee pads, but I personally think a crate is cruel anyway, what is the point in having a dog to lock it up.

Take puppy outside when it wakes up, after eating, and in between when playing and use word association like 'wee wee' or something the puppy will associate with it. Then praise her up loads.

Answer 5

PUPPIES FOR CHRISTMAS SHOULD BE OUTLAWED.

Every dog will train at their own speed; unfortunately for you.
The most import thing is that you really donate the TIME to keep a close watch on them.

Her bladder is very small and need to go out often. At least once an hour. Have a key word for going out. Our's is "lets check the back" which means were are all going to the back yard and do our business. That is better than saying lets go pee. Keep a close watch on her. If you see her acting like she might be about to squat or hike, make an abrupt noise or a whistle to get her attention and grab her and go outside immediately.
I don't like to paper train because later they will pee on any paper left in the floor because you taught them to do that. I hope you are not up-stairs in the apartment.

If you have to you can train her to one of those pads you buy at the pet stores for now and later move the pad outside and later just do away with the pad.

Wash any area that she does use, so you remove any smell. So that spot doesn’t attract her back. Don't scold her or hit her, she did what nature intended and she have to learn where the proper place and that's your job. Don't rub her noses in the spot that is certainly going to teach them to go out side....yea.!

The most important thing is to be consistant and very watchful.

Some people will crate train. Keep them in the crate and let out to play in the yard and then return to the crate. It could take several days to 2 weeks before they get the idea that outside is to pee. But remember they cannot open that door because the handle is too high....so if they pee in the house it is your fault not theirs.

Another big item that it would help is if your family is on the same page and will help with the training. If you have to train, do the housework and fight with everyone else, it is not going to be a good 2 weeks. Talk with family member and request their help. Small dogs who are absolutely obnoxious can learn as long as you and your family establish yourself as the alpha of the pack and don't let the "cute" little guys run you

Answer 6

Patience and consistency.
Take her out as soon as she has eaten, woken up, been fed or been playing. Stay outside with her, don't leave her out alone. As soon as she performs, praise her to the skies and bring her back in. She won't go every time at first, it's natural for pups to be reluctant to soil outside their living area so you need to be patient & accept that she may well hold onto to it until she gets back indoors. If she does have an accident indoors, there's no point in scolding her, rubbing her nose in it, hitting her with a newspaper - that will make things worse. You wouldn't tell a baby off for weeing would you? Pups don't have full control over their bladders & bowels. Don't bother with newspapers or pee pads - that's just training the puppy that it's OK to wee indoors, then you have to retrain it that it has to go outdoors! When she has an accident, just put her out of the room & clear it up well so there is no trace of her scent left.

Answer 7

Crate training. Buy a crate that is big enough for the dog to sit up and turn around. They sell them with divider so as the puppy grows you can give it a bigger space. If it's too big the dog will wet the crate. This will be where the dog sleeps and rests and will become his bedroom. Dog's don't go where they sleep so the trick is you keep her in there for about three hours then let her outside to pee and poo. When her bladder is empty you give her free time in the house, then she goes back in the crate until it's time to go back outside to empty.
This will ensure more successful eliminations than any other method.

Answer 8

I see that Christmas is a busy time for this section! This question has been addressed many times in Answer in the past two days, but here goes:

Housebreaking takes time, consistent routine, and patience. Start off by taking your puppy outside every 15-30 minutes and encouraging her to do her business. Find a phrase that you like as you will use it forever. (I always tell my dogs "Better go now.") When the puppy goes, praise her immensely--I mean, make a really big deal about it, petting, laughing, jumping up and down, good girls for everyone. Also, you must watch her cues: if she whimpers or wanders around in one spot, take her to the door and ask her if she has to go outside. She will soon associate going to the door and barking to get outside when she has to go.

If you catch her going inside, never, ever, ever hit her. Scold her with, "Bad dog" or "No going inside!" then take her outside to finish. If she won't finish, put her in her cage for 10-15 minutes, then take her out again. Repeat until she goes, then praise her. Crate her at night; most dogs will not go in their crate.

As time goes on, you will lengthen the intervals you take her out and rely on her to tell you when she has to go. In the meantime, keep her crated when unattended.

Good luck!

When we got our puppy a few weeks ago her previous owner let her wet herself wherever she liked but when she came to live with us there was no way that was happening. What we did was observe her until she did wet herself. Of course we told her off but what that was about was so we could see a sign of when she needed to go. Our puppy would sit down lick her lower area and then we knew in a matter of minutes she would wet hersef. I suggest you learn the sign of when your puppy needs to go and let her outside when you see her. This works fromn the first day but you need to leave the door open so that she can learn that the garden is the place to go. Hope this quick method helps.

Answer 10

Watch her constantly and when you see her sniffing around for a likely spot, pick her up and take her outside quickly. When she goes reward her in some way either with words, petting or a treat. Puppies usually go soon after they eat too so be sure to take her out after she finishes eating. If you catch her making a mistake, key word here is catching her in the act, give a sharp no, rub her nose in the spot she went on and take her outside again. Persistant training should have her pretty well ok in 3-7 days. Then you will have to watch to see what sign she chooses to let you know she wants to go out. Some scratch the door others just whine. Some will just sit queitly by the door. Mine sits in front of me and stares me to death with intermittent whines. I tell him to go lay down and he will for a minute or two then back in my face again. So I let him out but he is 3 yrs old now.

Answer 11

Get a crate from wal-mart that will include a growth reality. Put her in the crate after she has eaten. In about 45 mins, take her outside on a leash, to the area you want her to use. Give her 10 mins to exhibit her need to go. If no indications are given, put her back into the crate, and wait. There are few animals who will go in their own environment. But if she starts to yawn with a sound, or act restless, or seriously scratch at the door, then put her on her leash and take her outside. It will require ongoing positive participation from you, but if you maintain this regimen, your new puppy will eventually accept the fact that "outside" is where she should eliminate. Be patient, and positively encouragingly. Puppies are not unlike babies. They respond to loving encouragement.
