Best way to toilet train my puppy?

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aMMa9

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Buy a crate –Vari Kennel makes the best – that is of a good size that the dog can lie down, but cannot walk to another part of the crate. If he can, he’ll getup and walk off his bed and pee there, then walk back. The crate MUST be too small for that.

The purpose of the crate is to limit the dog’s freedom until he [1] learns to “hold it” and [2] can be trusted not to befoul the house.

Crate the dog whenever you cannot watch him with 100% attention.

When you can't be there to take him out every couple of hours (work, school, shopping, bedtime, etc), you need a puppy playpen:

They are available from other dealers; this is where I got mine. Buy the largest one you can afford.

Line the floor with Dri-Dek tiles. They are soft to the touch, but allow fluids through, and they are too tough for most dogs to chew up. They are a foot square, so if you buy the 36" x 36" model pen, you'll need nine Dri-dek tiles. If you buy the 48" x 48" pen, you’ll need 16 Dri-dek tiles.

Again, they are available from other dealers, but this is where I got mine.

Put the small plastic crate he sleeps in, which should be just big enough for him to lie down in, inside the pen. Fix it so the door won’t close. Put in a water bowl he can't tip and you can feed him in there, too.

He will not mess up the rest of the house, and you can clean the pen when you come back. Urine will go through the tiles to the pans beneath, so the pup won’t get wet. I put towels in the pans to soak up urine, and just toss them in the washer when they’re wet. Much more cost effective than buying pee pads for weeks! I wiped off the tiles with a cloth saturated in apple cider vinegar. When he's older, and you want to travel with him, you can bring along one of those tiles, or part of one, and throw it down, and he will know he's allowed to eliminate there.

The beauty of this method is that it prevents the pup from EVER messing in the house, and that means you NEVER need to yell at him or punish him. You only praise him when he goes where you want.

number one buy a crate. Yes the dog is going to cry that's normal but if you take it in your bed it will never get used to a crate if your neighbors get annoyed they will tel you. If you feel,like you need to tell them you are crate training your puppy at night time and your sorry if they hear it whining. Number 2 if it goes inside the house run it's nose in it. It's gross but they don't like the smell of it and don't like being in their own waste even if it's poop do the nose . I have trained all the dogs I have owned in a week this way. With the crate you may need to put a divider because it will help to train your dog since Thu won't sleep where they use the restroom. My current dog lives his crate and even used it through out the day for naps it only took me about a week to get him used to the crate. He would cry but I would ignore and get up early in morning to take him potty gen praise him with happy voices and treats

Its difficult to expect a young dog or puppy to hold it's urine or movements for more than a few hours. After all, how would you feel if your were chained to your favorite recliner and not able to relieve yourself when the urge came. This provides an opportunity to familiarizing the puppy with going out and going to the bathroom, since one can let the dog out every hour or so.

Be sure to create "KEY Word" that the dog will recognize each time they are let outside. The obvious one that I use is "Outside!" everytime I let the puppy out. You will be amazed at how quickly they catch on to key words. My puppies grasped the outside keyword along with "upstairs" and "whose here". Each time I now excitedly yell "Outside!" the dogs come running.

Monitoring when the dog eats and how much it is drinking is also beneficial, since most dogs will have an urge to relieve themselves shortly after. Puppies will tend to eat and drink alot since their energy requirments are quite high, so visits outside should be often.

When she goes toilet to the right place reward her.Ignore the crying because if the dog crys and you give it attention she gets attention thats what she wants, so she associates crying with attention and thats why she whines.Hope this helps.

Get puppy diapers!!

make it clear that when she does her business n the wrong place you are unhappy & tell her " thats for OUTSIDE, OUTSIDE"

but when she does her business outside let her know you are happy & stroke and treat her and say "GOOD GIRL" etc you can congratulate her in your own way :-)

good luck !! not that you'll need it now =D
