Please help getting a puppy tomorrow!?

You'll need to take the puppy out A LOT, around every 30 minutes you're home when she's very young, about 5 minutes after she eats, right after she plays/gets excited scared. Yes, obviously take her outside to potty before you leave AND right when you come home(You might find you run into "excitement peeing" don't worry, it's just because their bladder isn't fully developed and they just haven't learnt to control it.most puppies grow out of this) You can either use a crate when you're gone(take up water 30 minutes before putting her in there) Do not exceed 4 hours with crating!!

Or if you feel that's too much than you can put her in an exercise pen with a bed, water, a chew toy and a pee pad. That gives her much more to do and it's not as boring and confining as a crate. It's which ever you prefer though..

NEVER punish her for going indoors, simply scoop her up and take her outside where she should go. Clean the spot she went indoors with a good cleaner. If you catch her in the act, or hopefully right before(Which you always should!! you should be watching her like a hawk!) than go AH-AH! or clap your hands and again pick her up and carry her outside. No screaming, scolding, pushing noses into the floor, hitting or anything vile like that. An AH-AH! or clap or your hands as all that is needed to get the point across to a puppy.

Signs that she needs to go is excessive sniffing, pacing, and circling. and hopefully after a month or two- she'll be going to the door!

The items you'll need is a high quality food(nothing with a ton of corn/fillers, it seems everyone rushes out and buys "PUPPY CHOW" because it's the first thing they see/it has an eye catching name. Do some research and try to find a GOOD food), toys, some form of containment crate/exercise pen.. maybe gates, a bed, leash and collar, ID and a brush for starters and a puppy chew- Blue buffalo makes some, Bully sticks are great too. You might want to buy some puppy shampoo, clippers, special bowls and treats(small training treats are the best) maybe some books on puppies/training. You'll also need a vet, plenty of time and patience.

The vet will go through all the shots she'll need, the most important being the parvo and distemper or the DPPT shots, I believe there is 3 or so rounds of puppy shots. Do your own research, don't get EVERY shot and don't over vaccinate. Some just aren't needed for most areas, like Lepto- high risk of reaction and doesn't last long. And there is NO need for booster shots after the first year IMO unless you're in an area at high risk for a certain virus and you're out alot.

Puppies take A LOT of patience, they teeth, and nip you, and poop and pee inside. But they're just babies so hold back your anger and do your best to keep your cool in those situations. If need be I.E she gets too hyper/bitey, place her in her crate CALMLY don't let her see you're all mad over the situation it will NOT help, a firm toned NO is as far as you should show your anger to her. She'll just be more inclined to do that behavior in the future if she can get a reaction out of you. So just crate her, remove your self from the situation than take out all your anger elsewhere!

You'll have to get up every few hours during the night to take her outside if she's in a crate or roaming the house(If she's in an exercise pen with pee pads than you won't have to) and you'll most likely have to endure some whining the first few nights! As long a you don't give in and take her out(unless she needs to go outside) she'll learn quickly, DON'T CODDLE HER or spoil her too much!! And give her plenty of safe socialization and get her used to different noises and objects while she's young.

Hope that covered everything and helped some! Good luck and congratulations with your new pup! Catch up on sleep tonight because you won't be sleeping much the next few weeks! They're a LOT of work but they're so worth it and it's very rewarding once you get past the "butthead" stages! haha!

OH! and take lots of pictures! they grow in the blink of an eye!!

Take a puppy outside 15 min after its been fed keep in mind smaller dogs have smaller bladders never get upset with a puppy if it has an accident it's like a baby it doesn't know it has to go until it's already going

Puppies need out every 2-3 hours and food at least 3 times a day.

Potty training dogs does not have to be a daunting experience as long as one knows the right training methods and implements them on a consistent basis. It is important to understand that your pet will have to eliminate indoors a few times first before he will acknowledge that it is not the best way to please you. So arm yourself with plenty of patience and cleaning liquids and make use of the tips on potty training dogs I outlined below to achieve the best results FAST!

Potty Training Dogs Part 1 - Stop Punishing Your Pet!

You should never scream or hit your dog as it will only make him more stressed and confused as to what you want him to do. Instead, ignore the bad behaviors and praise your dog every time he does something positive. Dogs will do anything to get your attention and please you so ignorance is the most effective weapon if you want to stop your pet from indulging in undesired activities.

Potty Training Dogs Part 2 - Schedule Regular Meals

Canines are able to eliminate within the first 20 minutes after the last meal. Older dogs are able to hold it for much longer than puppies which do not know how to control their bladder and colon until they are 12 weeks old. You can use this knowledge to your advantage and take your dog outside exactly when he needs it (providing you know when was the last time he ate). Make sure to monitor your pet's behavior for such signs of coming poop as circling or sniffing.

Potty Training Dogs Part 3 - Prepare A Den

In order to speed up potty training dogs you can create an isolated leaving area for your pet. Dogs are naturally den animals and they will not soil it because it plays a major role in their everyday life (they use it to get some rest and hide from all the fuss around them). This is a very effective way to force your pet to learn how to control his physiological mechanisms.

Potty Training Dogs Part 4 - Show Him The Toilet

At the beginning of potty training it is important to take your dog to one specified earlier spot regularly and use only one command ('outside' or 'go potty') to trigger the elimination process. This way he will get used to relieving himself outdoors and will associate this procedure with one particular word.

Now, I know how annoying it is when your pet eliminates on the carpet. It stinks, it's nasty and makes you wanna hit the dog! There is a great guide dedicated to solving this problem and you can access it instantly at link This is the exact method I used to potty train my pet and I vouch for it.

Woo Hoo a whole month you say, lol sorry training takes a minimum 6-18 months if done properly longer if not. Once trained you must still enforce what was taught on the daily basis, for the rest of the dogs life, 12-17 years.
