well dogs generally as puppies have to go to the bathroom 20 minutes after they drink water so let them out every twenty minutes. It also helps to praise them, but praise them immediatly after. and eventually they will catch on and wait for you to let them outHow do i keep my puppy from going to the bath room in the house?
when we trained our dog we took her out about every half hour and maybe sometimes sooner especialy after they eat. I also read that you are supposed to take them out the same door everytime so that eventually they will learn that and go to the door automatically. Also when they are outside you aren't supposed to play with them. They should learn they are out there to use the restroom and not play.How do i keep my puppy from going to the bath room in the house?
If you have a dog who can actually make it into the bathroom your half way there and I might suggest going ahead and encouraging him to move on to the toilet.....I'm sorry couldn't resist however it looks as though you already have gotten much good advice on this matter.....
First of all, let me point out that training pads and newspapers do not work. Neither does rubbing your dogs nose into the poop and screaming ';NO'; at him... how would you like that? Neither does beating or yelling at him minutes, even hours after the fact...
Training Pads you buy at the store are odor scented to draw the puppy/dog to potty on it, yes that part may work but eventually the dog is going to generalize the pad into the rest of the room. He/She will not use just the pad or the newspaper, it might start mistaking your homework on the floor as ';oh here's something I can potty on';, or possibly maybe even your clothes. just as few examples.. the dog may not always be able to tell the difference between the pad and something else in your house....Also,even though you can clean it up for the most part from the newspaper or pads, or carpet.. YOU might not be able to smell the pee %26amp; poo.. BUT the dog can..(even from previous pets) and will be attracted to that spot... if you notice he's going in the same spot everytime, then try placing his food over that spot.. he won't potty where he has to eat
My advice - you can try crate training.. i don't necessarily mean a wire cage although it is usable... i recommend what are called travel carriers.. one large enough for the puppy to grow into, or one large enough for the dog to stand in and not his head, and be able to turn around in.. Carriers provide privacy, security, and a place of cleanliness for the dog. Dogs WANT to be clean. It should also be placed in a part of the house where the dog can still see you, do not isolate him, and NEVER EVER use a carrier as punishment... you'll ruin the pleasantness of the carrier and create a fearful dog...
Let the dog outside BEFORE you put him/her into the carrier. Let him potty, praise him lots.. then spend another 5-10 mins outside with the dog just romping and playing.. this will let the dog know that once he's done pottying it don't mean the trip is over. ever notice some dogs will do everything but potty for the first 10-15 mins when outside? that's because they know once they potty, it's time to go back in, so they hold it longer so they have time to enjoy being outside..
Then, take the dog in, and place a treat into the back of the carrier so he socializes the carrier as a good thing, instead of craming him in there against his own free will... make sure he has a blanket, food (you can even feed him in the carrier everyday) and water, possibly some toys.. A dog should be crated for absolutely no longer than 8 hours when the dog is FULL grown, and his sphincter muscle (bladder) is fully developed. You can also be able to kind of predict when a dog/puppy will have to potty by feeding on a timed guideline rather than freewill based feeding. When a dog can come and eat whenever it pleases he will have to potty at different times.. try placing him on a schedule...
If working with a puppy, try crating increments at first.. an hour.. maybe then two hours.. maybe then 3-4 hours... also, if a dog/puppy pottys in his carrier... your training is ruined.. it is no longer considered a clean place for the dog.. You must start all over again from scratch..
As soon as you let the dog out of the carrier head immediately to the front door or his area where you want him to potty and let him potty, no matter how long it takes do not bring him back in until he goes potty.. remember play afterwards, do not end the trip as soon as he's done.. it will only make him hold it longer outside..
Second Option, if he's just pooping inside then pick up the waste without him seeing you,place it in the yard.. take him outside on a leash, you at the other end... take him to where you set his waste... let him find it.. when he does, praise him LOTS!!.. same rules then apply as above... let him potty %26amp; so forth..
Lots of Love, Training %26amp; Biscuits
Hope this Helps.. :)
I adopted a dog (it was not a puppy) and she kept going in the house. We broke a Kraft single into 4 pieces and gave a fourth to her after she went outside. This worked very well. But make sure your dog can handle the cheese. use the lowest posible fat content cheese (2% or lower)
put it outside
Take the dog outside.
Crate her when your not around, and reward her when she goes outside. Also, sit a training pad by the front door, and make sure she knows its there. Be sure to take her out after every meal! Good luck!
Unfortunately you are going to have accidents in the house with a puppy. Since they aren't to have full run of the house you need to confine the puppy to a room that has no carpet, either tile or vinyl flooring so it is easier to clean. A puppy has to go 20-30 times a day.
First thing in the morning
20 mins after eating
right after a nap
right after playing
again after eating
right before bed
and during the night
Only take the puppy outside to do it's business, so it learns to associate outside with eliminating. AND NEVER punish or rub it's nose in it. A puppy does not know what it's being punished for even 20 seconds after it's pooped. Doing this will only frighten the puppy and make it fear eliminating, the last thing you want is a dog that has to hide to pee and poop. If you catch the puppy in the act...clap your hands to distract and say Outside, pick up the puppy and take immediately outside.
When trying to get a puppy to eliminate outside, first make sure it's on a leash, you have more control, then take it to the spot you designate and walk it in a circle. Try using a pee pee command, I use Quck Quick. Repeat over and over while keeping the puppy moving in a circle. As soon as the puppy goes, PRAISE lavishly in an excited voice...good quick quick and reward with a treat. (sliced cooked hot dogs work but don't over do it) then immediately take back inside and place either in a crate or in the blocked off kitchen. Remember, dogs are social creatures so you'll want to put in a room where everyone congregates otherwise he'll get lonely and cry. Look for signs such as circling and sniffing the floor that will clue you in as to when the puppy needs to go. As long as you remember to take out constantly and be consistent and patient every time, eventually the puppy will associate going outside to pee. Use the same door everytime so the puppy will know what door to stand at when it needs to go. As long as you don't punish when there is an accident then you should have success. Also if the puppy poops in the house, remove the poop and place it in the yard where you want the dog to go, when he smells his own poop he'll know where to go.
Good luck, patience and consistency is key.
i have a puppy also what i do is that whenever she starts to squat i pick her up and say no and rub her nose around and take her outside and make her go out there and when she does praise her but if you come home and theirs is urine or stool on the floor then make her smell it and say ';NO'; firmly and she will learn bcuz you know that pups hate being scolded! hope i helped
