| TIPS ON HOUSE TRAINING PUPPIES: THE DOs AND DONTs | | The most important thing to remember in training a new puppy is this: puppies and dogs learn best by being praised when they do the right thing, NOT by being punished when they do the wrong thing. Housetraining can be challenging, but can be made easier if you follow these basic do's and don'ts, and stick to them.
DO:Keep in mind that a puppy is the equivalent of a human baby and has to eliminate frequently.
Take the puppy out every 2 hours by the clock during normal waking hours in addition to immediately after eating, waking, playing, and when the puppy starts"rooting" around or appearing anxious.
It will also need to go out right before being bedded down for the night.
Pick the puppy up and take it to the same place each time that has been designated for it to eliminate.
Praise and reward the puppy with a small treat immediately after it urinates or defecates in the appropriate place.
Allow the puppy to"go" several more times before bringing it in. Puppies don't have the ability to eliminate everything in their bladder and bowels on the first squat. If you bring it in prematurely, chances are you'll end up with an unwanted puddle or pile.

| toilet training puppy patterdale male | | Help, my patterdale x jack russell is 14 weeks old and prooving to be quite difficult to toilet train. He is crated at night, and is taken out to go to the toilet approximately every 20 minutes, also STRAIGHT AFTER MEALS. He is quite consistently doing small wees around the house inbetween going outside, is this territorial, or just because he has not learnt to hold his bladder sufficiently? | |
| | Does anyone have any advice on potty training a puppy? | | We just purchased a 11 week old Shih Tzu puppy. This is our first animal that does not live in a bowl or cage, so basically we are clueless. She is very good. We are trying to crate train her which is going well. She really does enjoy being in there, so that is one problem solved. Our only dilemma is knowing when to take her out. My husband and I are so paranoid that she will go in the house we are taking her out constantly. Anytime she sniffs around we are wisking her outside. I swear the poor thing will never learn to sit on the floor. We have been told to give her about a minute and if nothing happens bring her in. Seems we are always throwing our shoes and coat on. I am sure our neighbors are laughing hysterically at us, but I want to be consistant. Are we being to paranoid? | |
