Here are some simple steps to learn how to house train a puppy helping your puppy to go outside and not in the house
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. In case your puppy needs to go in a hurry, choose a place outside that is close to the door if possible. Then again, you dont want the spot to be too close so that guests or family will bring in anything on their shoes. Keep in mind areas where your family likes to spend time and where children might play, as well.
2. Puppies can’t tell you at first when they have to go outside but you can be a big help in determining when. 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:
* Right after the puppy wakes up .
* 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.
* Puppies sniffing the floor is a definate signal.
* If he’s gone potty in a certain spot before and returns there.
*Running around even in circles and getting excited could mean your puppy wants to go outside.
* Anytime you see him wander to the door or even look at it.
* 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. Because of this, a great deal of owners restrict puppies to their crate until housebroken which works for many people. 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. The dog should be taken to the same spot you have chosen for his toilet, whenever he needs to go (see Step 2), or at least every hour, whichever is less, and teach him by using some kind of command, but use the same one each time, like saying “go pee”.
• 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.
To train your dog quickly, you need to take him out every hour and get him used to running to the right spot and going on command.
• It is good to still use a leash even if you have a fenced in yard to take him to the selected spot as this will also train her to go while on a leash good for walks later.
• After reaching the spot stand quietly until your dog starts to go rather than staring at her. You are also going to ignore the dog if he acts more interested in the treat . 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. Keep in mind you might have to use it other places, in the event you walk the dog or go on vacation.
* After your puppy is done going outside, lavish her with praise spplying a treat , it may mean faster 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.The more time you spend playing with your puppy when training, the quicker the results. You don’t want to immediately put him back in the crate or ignore the puppy after you have brought him back inside, or the puppy will relate going pee to punishment when he gets 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 .
