Potty Training...for puppies!

dip her nose in the pee, then put here were you would like her to pee, like if you want her to do it outside then put her outside if you want her to do it on paper put her on the paper

First of all…quit being angry about it…it’s the “first lesson” for puppy, and being angry does the situation NO good.

So… the first thing you have to remember is HANDS OFF, not hitting no yelling…if you want to hit something…Roll up a newpaper and hit yourself in the head and repeat the words “I forgot to watch the puppy”!! NEVER push their nose in it…they are dogs, they don’t understand anything except that you are angry…and that they should be afraid when you are.

The key word here is “training”…you are going to TRAIN your pup to go outside… here is how that is done…

The number one ingredient to have a house trained dog is…VIGILANCE. You must make housetraining your ‘mission in life’ for anywhere from 10 days to two weeks. Keep slip-on’s by the back door, and a bathrobe or something quick to get into handy…because for this two weeks…housetraining will be your mission.

Your goal is…to beat the puppy to the punch…You’ll learn his signals just by doing all that vigilance…like they’ll start sniffing, and circling…you pick him up and take him out BEFORE he goes…Rules of thumb are also…For puppies, take him out immediately when he wakes up (do not let him follow you to the door…pick him up and carry out the door)…take out immediately after eating. During play a little puppy should be taken out every 20 minutes or so (aren’t you glad they sleep so much?? )

Crate the pup WHENEVER you cannot watch it (when you leave, or are ultra busy)…instinct is for them to not dirty their nest…so make sure the crate is only big enough to stand up, turn around, etc…A new puppy will need to get out once during the night…but that only lasts a week or so…You don’t want the puppy having to go so bad he dirties his nest…you do NOT want to break that instictive barrier…once that’s happened it’s hard to undo.

When you get the pup outside…say ‘pee pee’ or whatever…then love them up BIG when they go…this will teach them to go on command, and save you from having hang out and wait in the future. DO NOT bring the puppy in until it has gone potty…

a) Always take the puppy out after meals, heavy drinking, and at least every 2 hours. They can’t control their bladders very well.

b) buy a crate to crate train at night, dogs dont like to soil where they sleep. Do not over crate them, as this can lead to behaviour problems that ruin the dog.

c) Do a lot of research online, read many books talk to trainers.

d) Do nooot use puppy pads, as their re-enforces the dogs idea to pee indoors.

e) Book puppy kindergarten classes ASAP after the pups shots are all done and has been given the all clear to socialize with other dogs.

f) expect your puppy to be stubborn… rotties and huskeys are very big-headed breeds. You’ll have your work cut out for you if you do not put your foot down from the start.

no use in punishing her after the fact . catch her in the act show her your disapointment maby even stick her face in the mess then lead her to the place you want her to relieve herself. if she urinates from excitment don’t punish her go see a vet for advice. your pets are a huge responsibility you have to invest the time to get the results you want. just like a parrent make your plan and fallow thru …also check out the dog whisperer
