You can learn how to house train a puppy easier than you might think with these 5 steps
1. Before you even start to take the puppy outside, you need to carefully think about where you want the puppy to be toilet-trained at. You want it convenient enough that you don’t have to venture too far away from your door because he might need to go quickly, once you determine he needs to go. Although, tracking in some undesireable items may become an issue with guests. Also, keep in your mind some places as where children play and where your family spends much time..
2. Determining when your puppy wants to go outside is going to be a need at first since they still need to learn how to tell you. Eventually, he will make it through this stage and notify you, but don’t be surprised if he has to go 5 minutes after coming in, because puppies have small bladders and urinary tracts.
Determining when is easier with these tips:
* As soon as the puppy awakes .
* As soon as the puppy is removed from his crate or den.
* When he’s awake, consider every 30 to 60 minutes, based on his age.
* Watch when he eats or drinks because he will need to go shortly thereafter
* If the puppy gets up and starts looking around after napping or chewing on a toy.
* Sniffing the floor is a sure sign.
* If your puppy has peed or pooped in a certain spot and returned there again.
*Running around even in circles and getting excited could mean your puppy wants to go outside.
* Whenever your puppy looks at he door or makes her way over to the door.
* The obvious signs-pacing, whining, or starting to squat. Keep in mind that male puppies squat like female puppies until they are 4-9 months old.
3. Keeping an eye on your puppy inside anytime not confined an stop an unexpected sit and pee. Confining young dogs to their crates while indoors until house broken works for many. If you limit his movements, either by keeping him on a leash or by restricting him to one or two rooms, it is easier to watch the puppy for signs.
Be sure you don’t get distracted or preoccupied with household tasks, because housebreaking your puppy will become a longer, more difficult task, if you don’t keep a watchful eye and realize it’s your responsibility to take him outside when he needs to go.
4. Whenever your puppy needs to go as listed in step 2, or at least every hour whichever is less, your puppy needs to be taken or directed to the same spot and teach him using the same verbal command of your choice.
• Every hour, you should quickly take him outside to the designated toilet area, but be sure you take some treats to reward the puppy each time he goes on command. Encourage him to go quickly by hurrying him along and this will also tend to jiggle his bowels and bladder, if you can get him to run to the spot you have designated. The puppy should immediately start sniffing and go quickly, once you reach the designated area.
If you want to train your dog quickly, take her out every hour and on command have her run to the right spot.
• Take your puppy to the designated spot using a leash, even if you have a fenced in yard as it will also teach him to go while on a leash.
• After reaching the spot stand quietly until your dog starts to go rather than staring at her. Ignore him if he acts more interested in the treat instead of going. When he does start to go, quietly (so you don’t startle him) say “go potty” or whatever cue you have decided on, just make sure it is something you can say in public and use each time, in case you are in the park or your children are around. If you go on vacation or even walk the dog, keep in mind that you may need to use it in other places.
• After your dog is finished, lavish the puppy with rewards, including praise, along with a treat, because it can mean quicker results!
Don’t just open the door and let your dog run out by himself to go potty or you might not have success in housebreaking and the whole process will take longer. You want to be sure that he relates getting a treat to going on command, so this is important to monitor and practice for the best success.
5.Results will be quicker the more time you spend playing with your puppy during the training. Be careful after your puppy does go outside not to simply put him back into a crate or confined area as it may be associated with getting punished when gettting back inside. You might want to take him for a walk after the puppy goes, or find other things to do with the puppy inside so that it will look forward to going outside and going pee in the designated area. Extra rewards of praise and play will encourage him to go potty more quickly and you don’t want him to be trained to the treat, alone. For housebreaking your puppy, it is important that you add additional things tto make it rewarding for puppies. Check out the tutorial online how to crate train a puppy .
