Dog Training By Alton

Posts Tagged ‘Training Puppy’

my shit zu is about 8 weeks old, he is going to be a 100% inside dog as i want to grow his coat beautiful and long and don’t need the dirt from outside to ruin it.
i have a puppy training mat (precision: little stinkers house breaking pads) and it is meant to attract him to it so he can do his business, i have had him for about a week and a half and he has been on the mat 4 times.

he just seems to go where ever he wants, on the carpet, on the lino, Absolutely anywhere, he doesn’t really go in the laundry where his food and bedding are, but that is where i have put the mat.

Every time he goes some where other than the mat if im fast enough i put him on the mat, to try adn associate the mess to the mat, he thinks it’s just like a bed and sometimes even sleeps on it, he plays with it, i just don’t think he is getting the idea.

What should i do?
How do i toilet train him? i have children who don’t like standing in little puppy puddles.

Please help me, i hate cleaning up poop
i would like to add, im not just keeping him inside because i want him to have a fabulous coat, im also keeping him in because i was recomended by my vet that keeping a small lap dog indoors makes him more content and i want to be close to my dog, im all for having gods run around outside, but he is tiny, and will always be tiny i dont want him to escape under a fence or something like that.

Your placement of the mat is likely the problem. Dogs do not like to do their business where they eat and sleep. That’s part of why you confine them or kennel them when they are young as part of potty training. I would first suggest moving the mat somewhere else. Second, one of the things recommended is that next time she goes, soak up some of the urine with the mat. This will help the dog associate the mat with a place to urinate. Generally speaking, when the dog is out, just take it over to the spot every hour or so to encourage the use. It will take time and patience, but first things first is to not have the mat where the puppy eats and sleeps.

i have a 6 week old puppy and she wakes me up frequently , ive been researching how to train my puppy to sleep by wakeing her up every 2 hours to go poty but thats not the problem .. i let her sleep on a doggie bed on the floor next to min and she wakes up and nips my fingers and toes … when i get up and turn on the light she just wants to play shes alreadygone potty thats not the problem …why does she think playtime is in the middle of the night and how do i traing her., i realize that its natural for her to wake up but how do i make her understand not to play …i will get up to help her gladly i just dont want her waking me up to play but if thats what i need to do i guess i will. so dont tell me how im irresponsable i just wanna know if this is a problem and how to train her to sleep soundly… sorry its so long.

do not responde ..
if she/he nibbles ur toe do not responde
but if she nibbles a bit to hard to not show that u are awake
slip ur foot forward as if you can feel him/her
i done this with my dog and eventually he learnt that
night = sleep
and day = play

Just a question about toilet training puppy. At what age is the best time to start teaching them? Also around how long does it usally take to train them? What is the best method?

You need to be consistent, persistent, patient, and loving to the puppy while house breaking. Well, you need to be those things all the time, not only while you’re house breaking, How long it takes depends on a lot of different factors such as breed, size, and age. Bichon Frises, for example, are notoriously hard to house break.

I am planning on crate training my puppy and I want to know how long I should keep her in there, when I should take her out, when I should play with her,etc. Please help ! An example of a schedule would be great, but if not, anything will help. By the way, she will be 8 weeks when I get her.

Congratulations on your new puppy Crate training can be a difficult process, but its definitely worth it for you and your puppy. I’ll give my advice on what worked crate training my dog (he’s five now, but we got him at 10 weeks old!), and then leave a link for the Human Society’s information on crate training.

First off, you’ll want to make sure you have time to be home with your puppy, at least for the first few days, but if possible the first week or two. Secondly, you need to pick the correct sized crate. People frequently assume that its "cruel" to have the dog in a small crate, but reality is, the puppy should have enough room to get in, and circle around and lay down, but not enough room that she could soil one corner of the crate and sleep in the other. Some sort of bedding so she’s comfortable is a must, but make sure its not something she can chew (since puppies do chew). If it is something she could possibly chew, and swallow, observe her in her crate, to prevent the risk of bowel obstructions.

Please take into consideration, that a typical puppy can hold his/her urine for his/her age in months, plus one. So at eight weeks, two months, you’re puppy can hold it for around three hours. Taking this into consideration, I’d really recommend taking her out at least every two hours to start with, more if possible.

A normal schedule may go as follows:

9:00am: She goes outside. If she pees or poops, you give her praise, and you can play with her outside, or inside for a while.

10:00am – 10:05am: Crate time. She will cry, and you will feel the need to run to her. Starting off with just a few minutes of crate time, five or less, gets her used to the crate.

10:05am – 10:45am: Tell her she’s a good girl and immediately take her out. The BEST routine we’ve gotten into, is taking our dog out immediately after he leaves his crate. It has clicked something in his brain, so now he automatically uses the bathroom once he’s out of his crate. She may not go this time, since she did just go an hour before.

10:45-10:50: Crate time. Again, plan for tears. Afterward take her immediately outside for at least another half an hour, a walk if you can.

Repeat this throughout the day. Whenever you feed her (2-3 times a day depending on size) take her out immediately afterward. Keep an eye on her water intake, and take her out after she drinks as well. For the first day, stick to 5-10 minutes in the crate at a time. Work your way up from there, adding 5-10 minutes each day on. Also, you can start by staying in the same room as her in her crate, but you want to pretty quickly move to another room, so she can’t see you.

It is hard, and it will take a few weeks of whining and crying to get used to it, but it makes house breaking so much easier, and now I can just say, "Frankie crate," and he goes right into his crate He actually enjoys sleeping in there!

The crate IS NEVER a punishment. If she has an accident, don’t yell at her and put her in the crate. The crate is a safe place, and the more you treat it like one, the more she’ll want to be in there.

Good luck!
