Dog Obedience Training Ideas

Archive for the ‘Dog House Potty Training’ Category

A new puppy, like all babies, requires a regular puppy potty training schedule.  A young puppy needs to empty his bladder every hour, and at least once during the night.  As the puppy grows, he will be able to hold back urination for an additional hour per month of age, up to a ten-hour maximum.

How To Potty Train a Puppy

Here is a simple puppy potty training routine that will make training a breeze:

1.  The first step is to designate a place in your yard as the “potty spot.”  You will be glad that you did.  When your dog grows up, he will continue to use his chosen spot, rather than messing up the entire yard.

2.  Choose a cue word, such as “go potty,” that will keep him focused on the task.  The great outdoors holds many distractions for any dog, but especially for a puppy.  During puppy potty training, repeat the cue word until he finishes, so that it becomes attached to the event.  Later, this word can be used as a prompt to remind the puppy what is expected of him.

3.  Keep the new puppy confined to a small area, such as a pen, crate, or keep him nearby on a leash.  Allowing the puppy to roam all over the house only invites trouble, because accidents may happen during dog potty training.

4.  Take the puppy to his “potty spot” first thing in the morning, and then every hour after that.

5.  The puppy will need to be taken out within fifteen or twenty minutes of eating.  Organize his feeding schedule to coincide with his hourly trip outside.  Remove uneaten food so that he learns to eat it as soon as it is offered.

6.  In the case of older puppies, calculate how long he can hold back – for instance, a four-month-old puppy can hold back urination for a maximum of four hours.  However, to avoid accidents, it is best not to push him to his limit.  For the first few days, put him on the hourly schedule.  Continue taking him out after meals and before bedtime.

7.  Have dog treats on hand to give the puppy when he successfully eliminates on command.  Give him lots of praise so that he develops a positive mental connection to puppy potty training.

8.  If the puppy circles for several minutes without eliminating, take him back inside, but keep a watch out for the signs that he needs to go — circling, sniffing, squatting.

9.  If your puppy is constipated, he may be dehydrated.  If constipation persists, consult with your veterinarian.  Sometimes, adding a high-roughage food such as pumpkin to his meal will cure the problem.

10. After a successful trip to the dog potty spot, enjoy playtime with your puppy.   Exercise can stimulate the bowel, so a trip outside may be in order after playtime.

11. Remove the water bowl up to two hours before your bedtime.  Take the puppy outside once more before lights out, even if it means waking him up.  Setting your alarm for a toilet trip in the “wee” hours will avoid nighttime accidents.  As the puppy grows, he will be able to sleep through the night without interruption.

12.  Do not, under any circumstances, punish your puppy for the inevitable accident.  He will not understand why you are angry, and his anxiety will only prolong puppy potty training.

Your puppy will learn that there is a time for everything:  eating, playing, and going potty.   Consistency and patience are the keys to successful puppy potty training.

Puppy House Training
House training a puppy requires you to be consistent, vigilant, and patient.  Realistic expectations are also a must.  Although the ideal is to make it through puppy house training without any soiling accidents, that is highly unlikely.

Puppies are physically incapable of delaying urination beyond a certain amount of time.  When they are young, they may need to urinate every hour and no amount of scolding will change that.  The following are tips on how to start house training a puppy:

Supervision is Needed During Puppy Potty Training
In order to minimize accidents during puppy potty training, constant supervision is necessary, both indoors and out.  Be on the lookout for signs that the puppy needs to eliminate.  Some signs are obvious, such as pawing at the door, or barking.  Some are subtle, such as circling, sniffing, squatting, or general restlessness.

Keep the puppy nearby so that he may be taken out as soon as it is clear he needs to go.  Tethering the puppy, either to a piece of furniture or to the owner is one solution.  However, puppies can quickly get into trouble by winding themselves up on a leash, so a tether is only viable when constant supervision is possible.

Confinement Is Necessary During Puppy Potty Training
The puppy should not be allowed to roam at will. Freedom in the house and yard should only be allowed once he has successfully mastered puppy potty training.

Choose an area of your house that can be sectioned off with a baby gate.  A portion of a laundry room or bathroom is ideal.  The area should be large enough for him to inhabit – (standing, lying down, turning around) – but not so large that there is room for him to use it as a potty as well.  A dog’s instinct prohibits him from soiling his den.  You will use that instinct to your advantage, but also realize how distressed he will feel if he can’t hold back any longer, and must eliminate on his bedding.

Crate training the puppy is another excellent way of confining him to one particular area.   Take him to his designated potty spot the moment he is released from the cage.

If the puppy must be left in his confined area for an extended period, a box filled with dirt may be provided for emergencies.  This will mimic the outdoor potty spot, but it should be removed promptly when the owner returns.

Ongoing Training  is Needed During Puppy Potty Training
Establish a routine to potty train puppy, and then stick to it.  Puppies, like babies, respond well to a regular schedule.  The more consistent the training schedule, the sooner your puppy will learn what constitutes acceptable behavior.  It may take several weeks to successfully house train your puppy.  The timeframe will vary according to the breed of dog.

Training should be taken in steps, so as not to confuse the youngster.  Some owners like to teach their puppy to jangle a bell attached to the doorknob when he needs to go outside, but that should be considered phase two of the puppy house training program.

When puppy house training is done correctly, the groundwork will be laid for further dog obedience training, and a positive relationship between dog and owner will be established.

Positive Encouragement is Needed During Puppy Potty Training
Start house training a puppy by rewarding him each time he successfully eliminates in the designated potty spot.  Be sure to give the treat immediately, while outdoors, so that he associates the reward with his accomplishment, and thereby learns what is expected of him.

I am so excited because I just bought a puppy about a week ago. He is 11 weeks now.

I want to do everything right because I have heard they can be difficult dogs to house break for some people.

I am taking him outside every two hours or so
I am using a crate
I give him a treat every time he does the deed outside

Does anyone have any good house breaking tips or training methods, because we still have accidents. And like, what should I do when I catch him going in the house?

Thanks

We bought a dog from a breeder last week (a mini dachshund). The dog was kept in a barn with easy access to the outside and so is in the habit of going to the bathroom outside. When we got her home, we were diligent to take her out frequently. She went an entire week without an "accident". However, two days in a row now she has gone #2 in the house. I disciplined her and took her outside. We keep her in her crate when we’re gone and at night.

However, I’m wondering, with an older puppy if there are any additional guidelines or help in getting her house trained.

TIA

My mom and dad are divorced and i only see my dad every weekend. Sometimes every two weekends. I feel my dog gets no attention there and whenever i go there he gets even skinnier and I always find ticks on him. Now i know this is neglect, I need to do something! I have decided since my mom is moving to place where she can have animals and there would always be someone in the house, I would bring him there. But there’s a problem, he has always been an outside dog and I need to make him housetrained. I plan on buying a big book on house training and i plan on using my money to take him to obedience class. To do this, I also have to earn at least 300 dollars. I’m only 14 So, that’s a lot of money! I’m thinking 100 for supplies, 100 for the training, and 100 for the vet from all those ticks! do you think that’s about right? I have about 150 so i still have to make a lot. I think it’s worth it, do you??? Can you give me any tips on training??? Please help!!!!

I recently bought a gorgeous 2 month mini aussie sheperd. She’s paper trained and has only had 2 accidents. The last dog I had I got when he was 10 months so I went from having an un housebroken dog to having to house breka him.

How do you train a dog to move from paper to outside? Also would you let your pup have free reign of the room that you’re in or wait till she’s completely changed?

Any training tips or advice are greatly welcome.

PLEASE comment.
She has a crate that she loves, it has her bed and everything. I was told to move the paper closer to the door and then eventually outside. She goes on the paper everytime except twice. My question is, I have a fenced in porch, should I leave the screen door open and put the paper outside so that she can walk outside to use it, and then move from there? What’s a good way to teach your dog to let you know they need to go outside?

She’s VERY smart and a quick learner. (Much easier to train than my german sheperd/lab/pit mix, or the boston terrier I fostered. lol)
