House Training Puppies

Sprinkle pepper down where they usually do there business in your house. Puppies and dogs always sniff before they go. At first I thought that this was cruel when my friend told me, but I was fed up and it really worked! This method didn't take very long for the dog to understand that he wasn't supposed to do his business in the house.You can alos use this method outside. Good Luck!

I'm getting a puppy sometime soon and I'll be spending most of my time with her, training her and such. But when I have to go to school, would having my mom tie her outside for 5-10 minutes every two hours be alright, or do you actually have to walk them?

I know not to get pee-pads because they'll most likely mess up the training process.

you can tie her out but i'd highly recommend walking her for 10 minutes.. the dogs need the exercise. (every hour or so)
Hope This Helps!

get a crate. be consistant and patient and praise when dog goes potty outside. unless you can directly observe the pup keep it in the crate. don't do this all the time, puppies are work. if you see the pup starting to, or is going potty in the house scoop the pup up and take them outside. say let's go potty on your way out. once outside put the pup down and repeat let's go potty. do not play or show any attention to the pup, just keep saying let's go potty. at first it may take 30-45 mins sometimes, especially if you know the pup needs to poop. when the pup does go potty praise the heck out of them once they're fninshed. then you can play with the puppy. be consistant and patient as this is a puppy and doesn't know anything until you teach them. good luck.

House training my New Puppy
Often asked question, the one thing every new pup owner dreads

Things you need to know first, before you start.
Pups normally arrive to their new home when they are between 8-10 weeks of age. Unfortunately they do not have full bladder control at this age, it is physically impossible for your pup to hold onto it. When he has to go, he will go. How long do I wait then you ask? Well you don't, you start to teach as soon as pup arrives, but you don't expect too much, or the impossible.

By 12 weeks his body has matured and bladder control finally kicks in. Even so, the max amount of time he can hold it for will be between 2-4 hours.

1. Pick a spot outside where you intend for pup to go.

2. Every time you take pup out use the same spot.

3. Take pup out as often as every hour for the first week.

4. Take pup out after every feed, drink, exercise, play time.

Even if pup doesn't go, that's fine, just wait with pup for a few minutes, if you get a result then give heaps and heaps of praise.
Be consistant, don't give up and never rub pups nose in his excrements if he does do it inside, all you will do is confuse the pup and possibly turn him against you.

Puppy potty training can be a difficult and frustrating experience. The process will require patience and consistent discipline to properly train your puppy.

Puppies should begin potty training as soon as they are brought home. Like children, puppies usually need to go potty when they wake up, after they eat, and after they play. If one of these events is about to take place, immediately show the puppy outside. Your puppy may not catch on at first, so be patient in waiting for him to accomplish the task. Always heap praise on your puppy when he goes potty outside at the appropriate time. If your puppy does not go potty while outside, take him inside so that he’ll quickly associate outside time as potty time.

Watch for signs that your puppy needs to go potty - a puppy will sniff, scratch at the floor, or circle around as if trying to lay down, but won’t lay down. If your puppy does have an accident indoors show them the accident and in a stern voice tell them “NO!” It is not necessary to rub your puppy’s nose in the mess or to physically hit your puppy. Puppies catch on to genuine disappointment really quick and will know when they have done something wrong. Take your puppy immediately outside and, if possible, carry the mess outside to the grass and place it in the grass so the puppy can see where it is acceptable for the mess to end up.
Thoroughly clean up the mess inside. Make sure to use ammonia based cleaner to eliminate the smell completely - any remaining scent in the house will only encourage future accidents.

Dogs have a natural instinct to keep their living space clean and will not go potty when confined to a small space, especially near their sleeping area. To keep your puppy from waking up and going potty in the house in the middle of the night, attach a leash to the puppy’s collar and tie off the loose end to a stationary object next to the puppy’s bed. Your puppy will not go potty next to its own bedding - expect to be woken up if it really does need to go. No matter what hour it is, this is an important learning moment for your puppy. Take your puppy outdoors and be patient until they have finished going potty.

If you have to leave your new puppy home alone during the day, a modified approach to this method can be employed to keep your puppy in an enclosed area where it will not want to go potty. The trick is to be able to break away from work throughout the day to give your puppy a chance to go potty. This can be a challenge to your schedule, so you may want to plan on taking some time off of work to be available to train your puppy in its first few days in the home.

Just like babies, puppies have no control of when or where they “unleash their goods”. Having a puppy urinate inside your house is definitely not going to make you happy and it won’t do any good for your puppy when you get mad with him/her.

It’s important that you tackle this issue early on in the pup’s life and teach them some discipline. You may be surprised to hear this, but it’s true that a dog that has an authority figure and learns right from wrong will lead a more prosperous life and will make your job of caring for them much easier.

It’s not too difficult to correctly potty train your puppy, however keep in mind the process can take anything up to 1 year.

So how exactly do you potty train your puppy? Read on to find out the basic techniques and a lot of useful advice.

Restrict the Puppy’s Freedom
You should restrict the area in which the puppy can move around. What this will do is decrease the chance of the puppy urinating in a place, which they shouldn’t. Lay the potty paper in an area outside and then put a fence around so the puppy cannot roam elsewhere. It’s not supposed to be a jail so make it large enough so the puppy can run around and have fun. Of course you can take the puppy inside occasionally but you need to make it clear that the area is their home for the time being.

Wet the Potty
When setting up your potty you should place some of your pup’s urine on the paper and then walk them to it so they can smell it. This will give them the idea that the area is where they should be urinating.

One Potty,One Place
Many people who try to potty train their puppy have great difficulty, so they decide to set up multiple potty areas in hope that the puppy will use at least one of them. This is a bad idea as it will only confuse your puppy and they will not learn to use a potty effectively. You should only ever need one potty area.

It Takes Time
Younger pups need to go to the toilet every few hours, so put a leash on them and take them to the potty area and give the puppy 10 minutes to do their thing. If they don’t need to go, take the puppy back to its area and then try again in about 20 minutes. You should not play with the puppy until it uses the potty, once they do, you should reward them by playing with them, praising them or feeding them.

Reward Good Behavior
Whether you feed them or praise them, it’s essential that you reward your puppy for their good behavior. Rewarding a puppy will make them happier and teach them discipline and a happier dog in the long run is going to listen to you. A good idea is to reward them every time they use the potty.

Make a Potty Journal
By keeping a journal of the time it takes your puppy to urinate after eating, it will make it easier for you to train them and understand their habits.

Mistakes will Happen
Please remember not to get angry with your puppy if they urinate in the wrong area. At an early age they lack many skills that older dogs have much like how a toddler may urinate before they make it to the toilet. The best thing to do if your puppy urinates in a wrong place, is to simply say “no” or “bad dog”and then walk them to their potty area.

All in all, by following the above advice, your puppy will be well on there way to being potty trained and you will have a well mannered and obedient dog because of it. However make sure you give it time, it’s not something that most puppies can learn in a week or so.

How long does it take/how old until a puppy is house trained?

And how do you know they are finally trained?

My puppy is only 12 weeks but he goes each time I take him outside and hasn't had an accident but he had one yesterday in my bathroom! I thought he mite be getting the hang of not going in the house but I guess not.

12 weeks is very young still. At this age,pups cannot physically hold their needs but for so long. many dogs are not fully house trained until a year or so. Keep up the good work. Hopefully, your pup will be completely trust worthy by 5 or 6 months. My youngest pup(Boxer) just turned 6 months and(paws crossed) he's good for 7 hours uncrated before a break is needed. Crated he can do do 7 hours no question although I do my best to give a break every 4 hours.Good luck

I have 2 new puppies that love pottying inside. I take them outside often and they potty. Then I bring them in and they do it again. I'm keeping them in the kitchen, bathroom, or kennel until they can learn to only go outside. I believe in discipline, but it seems impossible with two cause I have no idea which one to scold…don't know who did it. Got any bright ideas??? I need them. Thanks.

keep one in one room and the other in another room then you can see who is troublesome
