Uncomplicated Procedures For House Training A Puppy
Consistency, commitment, patience and paying close attention are needed for house training your dog as well as newspaper.
A guide for training your puppy is listed below. Remember that accidents will happen even if you have a full grown dog.
Being consistent in the training will teach your puppy the behavior faster. Training can take several weeks or longer so be patient.
Create a routine.
Puppies do better with regular schedules just like babies do. Setting up a schedule teaches him that there are certain times for eating, playing and going 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.
Your puppy should be taken outside after or during playing, after he eats or drinks and as soon as he gets up. Find a spot outside that will be the designated bathroom area. Use a leash and take him to that area. Using phrases or words like go potty while he is using the bathroom will teach him that this means go to the bathroom.
Rewards are one way to teach your puppy. When he has finished using the bathroom praise him or give him a treat before he goes back into the house.
Using a regular feeding schedule will help with the bathroom schedule. Normally, puppies will eat three or four times a day. Feeding him at the same time every day will make him more consistent when potty training.
Always put your puppy’s dish up at least two hours before bedtime. This will help in keeping him from needing to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. Even he does wake up, remain calm, so he won’t think that it is playtime. Turn a few lights and do not play with him. Go straight to bed after taking him out.
Supervise.
Watch your puppy carefully when he is in the house so he will not have an accident.
Keep him by you by using a leash, that is at least six feet long, when you are not playing with him or training him. If your puppy begins to bark, scratch at the door, circle, sniff or become restless, take him outside instantly. He may need to use the bathroom. Once he is done, give him a treat or praise to reward him.
