Potty Training For Your Puppy 101 Tips

Teaching Your New Puppy Potty Training

by Marc Lindsay

POTTY TRAINING PUPPY

When it comes to potty training puppy you should always be prepared for a few little accidents along the way. In fact, without these accidents it can be difficult to show your beloved puppy exactly where they can and cannot go. That said, on the whole, the process of potty training puppy would be much quicker and a lot easier if you get into a routine that means your puppy is unlikely to make mistakes.

As with all forms of puppy training you should use reprimand and reward. Only ever use verbal reprimand and only when it is absolutely necessary, but in comparison you should give your dog as much praise as possible when they do something well or do it correctly. In the case of potty training you should reprimand them for going indoors but only if you catch them in the act and you should reward them when they go outside.

You should remember that puppies will need to go and potty roughly half an hour after every meal but they will also need to go first thing in the morning and last thing at night. However, these are unlikely to be the only occasions they will need to go out and you should learn to read your puppy to know when he is sniffing for somewhere to go or is just exploring the house and trying to recognize the smells. Initially you should probably be letting your puppy out every two to three hours.

While your puppy is training you should not leave food down for them and instead you should have set meal times. Wherever possible, stick to these same times every day because this will help your puppy learn a routine of eating and going outside at the same time every day. As well as using the same time for your routine you should try to make everything as constant as possible. If you use a particular door to take them out on the first visit then you should continue to use this door.

When everything goes well and puppy does manage to potty outside then you should praise them and possibly even give them a tasty treat. If you do this regularly they will associate walking out of that door to go to the toilet and being given a treat for doing so. In the even you catch your puppy in the act, pick him up before he’s finished and take him outside. Once he finishes outside, give him praise and a treat.

Dachshund Dog Potty Training

Saturday 9 February 2008 @ 6:17 pm

Tips For A Well-behaved Dog

Like most dogs, a Dachshund dog is not a trained dog by birth. Training is important in order for him to become a well-behaved dog everybody loves. Whether you’ll keep him as pet or as a working dog, it is important that he is housebroken. Housebreaking is a process where animals like dogs are trained to eliminate (urinate and defecate) outdoors or in an area specified by the owner.

Housebreaking a dog requires patience and understanding. Start the training when your Dachshund is still a puppy. Older dogs may be harder to train because they might have already developed bad habits that are difficult to break. Dog owners must know that puppies especially those under six months old can not wait long periods of time for a chance to eliminate. They need to eliminate around six times a day. It’s good if they are taken outside to relieve themselves at least once every two to four hours during the day. You must also take note of his behavior. If you see your dog pacing, sniffing around and turning in circles, it’s a sign for you to take him outside.

There are many ways to housebreak a puppy. One of the most widely used methods is the crate training. Buy a crate large enough for the puppy to stand and turn around comfortably. It should not be too large for him because what he will do is just eliminate in one end and sleep in the other end. Dogs just like many animals love their dens and will try not to soil it. The use of crate teaches them to hold or control their urge to eliminate. Take him out of the crate to eliminate immediately after eating or drinking, after waking from sleep and after play or exercise. And remember that using crate to punish your dog is not a very good idea.

Paper training is another method used in housebreaking. This method is best used to indoor pets and when your dog is a breed that stays small. Choose an area where you want your pet to do his thing. This area must be away from the feeding and water dishes. Then place layered paper in there. Take the pup in this area during his potty time. Change the top layer of the paper each time the puppy eliminates. Leave the bottom layer so that the odor left at this place will remind your little friend to eliminate when you take him there.

Do not expect your puppy to master the training one day after you started it. It takes a lot of patience and of course, you’ll experience lots of accident before you can really say that your dog is successfully housetrained. In case of accidents, punishing your pup physically will do no good. Punishing your puppy long after he has done the mistake will also do no good. He may not understand the reason why he is being punished. If the puppy is caught in the process of eliminating not in the specified spot, a sharp, loud noise is enough to startle the puppy and stop he will eventually stop doing it.

Tips To Stop Puppies Biting

Thursday 31 January 2008 @ 5:15 pm

Stop Puppy Biting…

Puppies love to bite.

The do it naturally but it is something that they must be taught not to do.

This needs to be addressed while they are young because dog bites can lead to all sorts of problems including legal action.

It may seem fun and funny to have a puppy biting but a full-grown dog can do a lot of damage, particularly to children if they are in the habit of biting.

Dogs have immense strength in their jaws and even a playful nip can do permanent damage to a child.

Generally, puppies are taught to control their biting from their mothers but in most cases we get puppies as pets that have been taken from their mothers at a very young age and it is up to us to teach them as puppies not to bite.

By letting your dog socialize with other dogs from a young age they will quickly learn from their elders, provided they have been taught well, that the desire to bite needs to be curbed to avoid retaliation and an ensuing fight.

The sooner the puppy is taught not to bite by the owner or by interaction with other dogs, the less aggressive they will become as they grow older and the more pleasant they will be to live with.

Taking a puppy to a dog training school will allow it to interact with other dogs where it will quickly be corrected for any misbehavior.
Puppies should generally learn to interact with other dogs within the first three months of their life.

The longer this is left the more difficult it becomes for your dog to socialize correctly and they can become dangerous later in life.

As with children, the sooner your puppy can learn correct behavior patterns the better they will be in the long term.

It is also wise to get the puppy to behave correctly in the presence of other animals including cats and any other pets that they might come in contact with over their life.

There are many items that are available from the pet stores and vets that can give your puppy suitable satisfaction to chew and bite upon.
This will allow your puppy to learn what is right and what is not right to bite.
