i have this problem.. he is just a puppy and its hard to train him to pee outside or pee in the newspaper or bathroom.. so how you do it? how they learn to pee in right place?
Answer:Watch him when he's loose
Crate him when you can't watch him
Feed on a regular schedule
Take him to the area you want him to potty at least every three hours
praise him when he does the right thing
Try and catch him literally in the act and then pick him up and take him to his potty area.
If he goes and you don't see it, clean it really well and forget it, it was an opportunity lost, resolve to watch him better next time.
Answer:Monitor the puppy's water and food intake and put the puppy outside about 30min after eating/drinking. Also if you notice your puppy sniffing around and it looks like it is about to squat down then take it outside. Take your puppy outside after it wakes up as well. If you see your puppy using the bathroom in the wrong place and you catch it in the act then you should interrupt the behavior (a loud 'No!' usually does the trick) and immediately put the dog outside. Also whenever your dog uses the bathroom outside give it lots of praise. Eventually the dog should start going there on it's own.
Answer:Amazingly enough, the concept of potty training a puppy isn't radically different from potty training a human baby…
It's a PROactive approach — You place the baby on his/her 'toilet' *BEFORE* he/she is actually relieving him/herself and give it some pleasing feedback while the process is occurring.
Praising words using a pleasant tone of voice, presenting toys or other things the child finds valuable (maybe a treat such as a piece of fruit) are some examples of positive feedback.
You repeat this process again and again until
a) it's become a habit
b) the child understands exactly what is wanted from him/her
c) the child has developed good bladder control
d) the child has learned to initiate the behaviour without your help
Same concept for puppies.
You somehow guide the puppy to the 'right' place and play the waiting game until you observe the desirable behaviour happening, then give it positive feedback.
If you have something to offfer that the puppy really wants more than it can find on its own (e.g. treat, toy, pleasant activity such as playing a game), he would simply follow you (you could say, you're luring him). Another option is, simply pick up the puppy and bring it to the desired place and placing it down again.
Keep repeating/practicing the desired behaviour - as above a) through d)
Don't be surprised if it takes quite a while until the puppy really understands what exactly you are so exited about.
This is because while you are mainly thinking about rewarding for the actual LOCATION — the puppy may very well associate his ACTION (which is just peeing/pooping) with the presented reward/feedback.
Therefore, peeing/pooping are the reinforced behaviours — NOT necessarily WHERE this action takes place, so he may pee on the legs of the coffee table and expect getting a reward.
If success is what you want, it's essential that he practices this behaviour in the 'right' place and preferably never in the 'wrong' place, because relieving oneself is largely self-reinforcing (gets stronger even without external rewards).
Avoid frustration by understanding that misunderstandings between two different species is just a fact of life.
Heck,… two human beings speaking the same language cannot even communicate without misunderstandings and unintentionally insulting one another!
Forget about old-wives-tales claiming your puppy is trying to be alpha, trying to out-dominate you, expressing resentment, or whatever crap some blue meanies shovel.
In order to prevent mishaps, it's your job to try to predict when the pup needs to go.
Young puppies have very limited bladder control (just like human babies). That should improve a lot when they are about 5 to 6 months old, but of course, each puppy is an individual and may develop a bit faster or slower than others. You're lucky, it takes much longer for human babies
At first, it could be every hour or so, and right after a meal or drink.
If you cannot supervise all the time, your best bet is to limit the pups roaming space by locking him in a smaller room or pen. Place the newspapers as far away from the pup's bed and water/food bowls as possible — pups have an innate tendency of avoiding to mess near their food supply and sleeping area.
Finally, after following the above, this last paragraph should be redundant, but I mention it anyway because there is no shortage of sadistic advice out there.
Potty training should never be a REactive approach.
You do not 'wait' until after the baby has messed up and then REACT by screaming, scolding, smacking, kicking or hurting the baby in some other way, such as pushing the baby's face into its own feces or urine.
Any decent person wouldn't do that to a puppy either.
And haha, let me fill the gaps for the smartas$es out there — yes… praising/rewarding your dog while he's doing the right thing *IS* a way of reacting too — almost everything we say is relative. But what I meant with "reactive approach" is reacting after the fact and in an aversive manner.
Answer:There are few steps involved in house training your pet
1. buy doggy pads (found in your local pet store)
2. place them where your dog chooses to urinate the most
3. if the dog is found doing the wrong thing, scold him lightly, but do not use physical force or deafening yells.
4. reward your dog bu giving him treats whenever he is urinating in the right places
5. eventually, move the pads outside and you dog will know that outside is the only place that he can urinate without breaking your rules.
6. once your dog has successfully been house trained, do not forget to reward him greatly.
Answer:crate training.
taking the dog out every 2 hours outside.
when your gone crate the dog make sure it has enough room to move.
when you come home let the dog outside.
say "good" when it does its buisness outside.
eventually they just get it.
ive taken a dog that has pooped in the house and sat it outside and sat there and watched it till t went and when it did i said "good boy" then let him in.
he got it real quick
Answer:Take your puppy outside for a bathroom break every one to two hours during the day. Plan a middle-of-the-night potty run for young puppies.
Use the same "elimination station" each time. Dogs develop a preference for pooping and peeing in the same spots. Make it easier on yourself by choosing, right from the start, the place close by where you want him to go.
