Realistic Procedures For House Training Puppies

Consistency, commitment, patience and paying close attention are needed for house training your dog as well as newspaper.

By following the steps listed below, the chances of accidents in the house will decrease. Expect your puppy and dog to have an accident occasionally. This is just part of having an inside animal.

Be patient and consistent when training your puppy as this training period can last a couple of weeks or more.

Set up a routine.

Having a routine works just as well for puppies as it does for babies. Developing a schedule will help him learn that there are times to eat, times to play and times to go potty.

For every month of age, a puppy can control their bladder for an hour. So, if the puppy is two months old, then he can control his bladder for two hours. Remember this when taking your puppy out for potty breaks. Hiring a dog walker might be necessary if you work away from the home to keep the schedule.

Take your puppy outside as soon as he wakes up, after drinking or eating, and during or after playing. Also, choose a spot outside for the bathroom. Always take him to that spot while he is on a leash. Use words or phrases such as “get busy” while he is going to the bathroom. He will learn to associate these words with relieving himself.

Rewards are an excellent method for teaching your puppy. Give him praise or a treat immediately after he has used the bathroom. Do this while you both are still outside.

On average, puppies eat approximately three to four times per day. Feed your puppy at the same time to help develop a regular feeding schedule and bathroom schedule.

To keep your puppy from needing to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, put his dishes up about two hours before bedtime. If he does wake up in the middle of the night, stay calm, so he won’t think it is time to play. Don’t turn on a lot of lights or play with him. Take him outside and then go back to bed.

Supervise.

Watch your puppy carefully when he is in the house so he will not have an accident.

When the puppy is not being trained or played with, have him on a six foot leash beside you. If he begins sniffing, barking, circling, scratching at the door or becomes restless, he may need to use the bathroom. Take him outside immediately if you notice this behavior. Use praise or treats to reward him when he is done using the bathroom.

Buying dog toys isn’t a luxury for our dogs, it’s a necessity. Usually we end up buying toys we think will occupy them for a long period of time.
