Housebreaking a Puppy in 7 Days

Housebreaking a puppy

Puppy housebreaking all begins with the consistency. Every day puppies are given back to shelters because this is not done. While sharing the tips on this page- know that they are proven tips and work quite well.

Housebreaking a puppy begins with you. You are the factor that will make this happen or not happen. Admitting this is all up to you can be stressful, but think about this. Just as a parent, you will be the primary source of guidance and shaping his or her future. We'll cover how to shape that future in a way that you love them dearly- in the days ahead...

Each time your puppy goes outside go with it. Take the puppy on a lead so you can be sure it goes to the same area of the yard each time. This way the puppy can smell itself and know what it’s supposed to do. Only give your puppy about 10 minutes to potty, if it doesn’t go, then bring it in and put it back in the crate, wait 15 - 30 minutes and take it back outside. Don’t let the puppy play until it potties. Playing is a reward, don’t reward bad behavior. Puppies are just little kids, they go outside, get excited, and forget why they went outside in the first place. It helps to give a command to potty, that way it learns a little faster what is expected, and later in life, if your running late, you can give the potty command and your dog will potty and be done with it.

It takes 4 to 5 days for an average housebreaking puppy to learn the average thing. Do not expect your puppy to perform like a professional the first few days of teaching him something new. It just doesn't happen that way. If you lose control of yourself, you have lost control of the situation. When this happens, your puppy loses confidence in you.

Puppy Training: Nothing to do with puppy housebreaking

Puppy Housebreaking Starts With The Owner

When you are housebreaking a puppy remember that it starts with YOU. I know this sounds like, "Sure, I know that."... But do you? Did you know that they responsibility falls on you. It is your duty to be a good mom or good dad- this matters even before you get the puppy home.

Let's cover pre puppy housebreaking:

Spending time with your puppy is a great way to build the relationship. This will help greatly when it is time for you to set down the rules and boundaries. One of the biggest mistakes made with a new puppy is not establishing rules and having a routine.

If you are not training your puppy then know that he is being trained- just not the way you want. You will get what you reinforce. Set the rules and go by them. Be consistent. Be almost like a pitbull. No pun intended. Hang on to what you've established as your house rules and make sure you are the one ruling the house.

Don't let the puppy become the CEO of the house and let you know what time he wants to eat and when he wants to go out and especially where he wants to pee and poop. No, puppy housebreaking starts with spending time and having the right training.

Puppy Housebreaking - The Do's Of Adding A New Puppy To The Family

Being a puppy trainer and the proud owner of three different puppy breeds, I just adopted a brand-new puppy for the first time in over four years. With all of the time online helping others train their puppies, getting my new puppy brought me back to what really worked.

You know the saying: Do I smoke what I sell?

Yeah I do... So, let's look at some things you should do when your new puppy comes home and later we will cover some things that you do not do.

Now- I know that a lot of customers come to this blog to hear about puppy housebreaking and we will get to that but I thought that this may be just as important.

1. Praise the good. I mean if you see your puppy doing something right then by all means tell her. Tell her that you love her. (As a side note: For some reason I just heard Eddie Murphy on Shrek singing, "Tell her that you love her"... Ok, back to puppy training.)

Reward your puppy when she does something right- NOT just when she misses up. Make sense?

Tomorrow we'll cover more. I need to go spend time with the pup.

This is one of the important tips on housebreaking your dog. You must spend some time with your pet and learn the signs so that you are aware of the time when it needs to go to the toilet. In this manner housebreaking your dog will be helpful.
After your dog has relieved itself in the right place you should reward and praise your dog. This helps your pet to associate its action to be good behavior that you are pleased about. Pets love to make their owners happy and they look for ways to please them. In the early phase of housebreaking you may need to confine your dog like overnight and when you are leaving it in the house alone.
If you do not have the luxury of time to spare for housebreaking your dog, then you can always enroll it in a dog obedience training class. A dog trainer can definitely help you with housebreaking your dog. Dog trainers have sufficient experience dealing with all type of dogs, so you can trust them that they know what they are doing.
When you are housebreaking a puppy there are certain things that you need to take into account. The first is that puppies do not have control over their bowels and bladder. A puppy that is younger than 20 weeks needs to go to the toilet after every hour when they are awake. Those puppies younger than 12 weeks need to be taken possibly every 30 minutes.
There is a simple technique that can help you when you are housebreaking a puppy. If you take its age in months and add 1, you are able to assume the number of hours that the puppy can go without going to the toilet. For example if the age of the puppy is three months the number of hours that it can go without going to the toilet would be four hours. There are again some small breeds that cannot hold it for that long. There are large breeds that can hold it for a longer period however the thumb rule is that you should take the ability of your puppy to control.
