Develop a schedule.
Putting a meal schedule your puppy during the train can make your efforts more successful. A puppy that is allowed to eat when you want to make it very difficult to potty train. Also, develop a schedule to take your dog outside it easier for you. Always take your dog 15 to 20 minutes after the meal, like clockwork.
- The most important thing when training a puppy (or dog) is consistency. If you are consistent and do the same and expect the same action each time, your puppy will realize very quickly. On the other hand, if you change your actions and what you expect, your puppy will be confused and do what feels right at the time, no matter what you want it to do. Create a good routine and ensures predictability.
- A puppy should be taken out immediately (to a predetermined area outside the home):
- When you wake up in the morning (or before, if you wake up before the puppy)
- After each meal
- After each nap
- Before you go to sleep at night
When you bring your puppy home the first day, immediately begins to train him.
After you have entered your new home and surroundings, give him a drink of water and immediately take him outside to do his business. Take the puppy to an area you choose before you take it home.
As soon as your puppy finishes, praise him and take him in immediately.
From that point, take the puppy to the same spot each time and encourage him with a command like "go the bathroom" or "hurry up" or whatever you choose. Once you start, do not say anything more. When finished, praise him and reward him immediately. You must let him know that your dog is behaving correctly. During the training process, is a good idea to take your dog on a leash. If you leave your dog in a fenced area and you're not there, you will not be able to tell that it is not acting appropriately.
Be consistent using the same command for the process train.
This allows the puppy to associate this act with the same command, which will help in the future, especially in a new environment or location when traveling, visit friends or relatives etc.. That is completely trained is the result you are looking for.
Involves all.
If you live alone with your puppy, this step will be easier. If your puppy lives in a house with more than one person, make sure everyone is following the steps to make the process faster and easier. The more we all adhere to the plan, the faster the progress.
Remove the water puppy at night.
Do not give water after about 6:00 in the afternoon, or maybe you'll have to make more trips so you can do your needs.
4.Clean the dump
Clean any accidents (many have) quickly and completely.
Wooden floors and tiles will be mopped and then sprayed with disinfectant. The carpets need to be cleaned with a carpet cleaner. This is probably the most important step because dogs have a great sense of smell. If you can still smell the urine, they will urinate in the same place. So you must also have a designated area outside.
- Many people buy commercial cleaners at the supermarket. Many of these products contain ammonia. Ammonia smells like urine to your dog. So if your dog urinates on the carpet and clean with the ammonia product, your dog will return to the same place and think that another dog has urinated there. Your dog will urinate there again to cover the smell.
- The commercially produced pet cleaners contain enzymes which suppress urine odor that attracts the puppy to the same spot. These can be purchased at pet stores, online, with your veterinarian and chain stores. Are most effective for "remove" ways, not only cover the smell.
- Some people say that white distilled vinegar works well. After that uses bicarbonate and sucks the residue when it dries. However, do not be surprised if this does not work as well as expected; spend your money on the commercial cleaner is the best you can do if this home remedy does not work.
5. Increase time gradually unsupervised
Let your puppy free walk around the house with supervision at first.
Allows periods are longer when you're sure you ask when you have to leave. This strategy should not take more than two weeks to get used.
Once your puppy is trained and go to the door crying when you need to go to the bathroom, you will be trained completely.
But remember, if you leave him alone in the house and no one to take him out, you have to do in a place in the house. Do not be angry with the puppy. The same applies if you ignore the puppy when he says he needs to go outside. Not the fault of the puppy, it's your fault.
- Do not be surprised if you suddenly defecate indoors when you thought that was already trained. This can happen for several reasons, such as sexual maturity, change in routine, curiosity, etc.. Simply return to the constant practice of taking the puppy to its assigned place after meals, as mentioned above, and is doing this for some time.
6. Leave the puppy unsupervised
Place a swing door for your puppy.
If you have an adequate fence (where a puppy can not get below or above) and a door, this method would be great. If by chance has no fence or gate, your puppy can make him flee or pursue other big dogs if there are many stray dogs in the area. Make sure there is no hole that passes under the door that another dog could have dug. You should also be aware of the wild animals that can eat your puppy as mongooses, coyotes, etc..
Espace newspapers in a corner for your puppy urinate.
This method would be good for people with unprotected compounds. This is just in case the puppy has to go and can not wait for you to come back home.
Ask someone to watch your puppy if sales books.
Occasionally we have to leave for a business trip or vacation. If so, there must be someone to care for the puppies. If you live with your family or friends, ask them to take care while you're away. If the whole family is going, ask someone who knows all about the care of the puppies. Put the personal aware of your schedule, where they sleep, what to feed them and what NOT to feed them, etc.. Than you can go quiet. Otherwise, leave them in a kennel (a place where people take care of dogs / puppies while you're out.) Either is a good choice.
Advice
- Do not be angry with your puppy, because he will not understand anyway. Remember to take the dog for a walk regularly and be kind to your new friend and have a puppy tamed in no time!
- Watch your puppy like a hawk all the time, especially at the beginning of training. If you can not watch it for some reason, put it in a safe and puppy-proof place (like a cage or something with little space and easy to clean flooring such as linoleum, closed with a baby gate so you can have a look if you need).
- Leave the dish puppy food all day is a bad idea if you want to train (or keep in shape). A puppy should get half a cup of food and about two cups of water twice a day in 1-15 weeks. As they grow just take it easy. Do not go giving him half a cup to 3 cups too fast.
- Always reward good behavior and caressing nice talking, ignore bad behavior as much as possible. I put it back in your kennel is not considered a punishment but sometimes necessary, so do it with love and talking nice if you can. Soon learn that good behavior gives you more time with you and look it over everything else.
- If you are consistent with training the dog at first, especially when it is convenient for you (at night, while you're watching your favorite TV show, etc..), Give the puppy to tell you when you need to go.
- If he cries a lot at first, try not to encourage it by giving much attention. You can move the crate next to your bed and hang your hand to comfort the baby in those first nights. After that, a slap on the top of the cage and a "No" sign they will know you are not happy with that behavior. Try to wear him out so you can sleep in the first few nights that pass you.
- Most dogs will learn to associate a specific door to exit. As the puppy grows, he will go to the door to be let out. Each dog will develop any habit that makes the door open. For some it is barking, for others it is run to the door and back to you, and others will scratch the door (this should not be encouraged if you do not want to have to replace the door).
- If you need to remove the smell, pour a teaspoon of vanilla extract in the area where the puppy has eliminated. The puppy will not be able to smell the urine and not have the urge to urinate there again.
- When your puppy make your outside needs (or where required), you might think that you should ALWAYS reward your puppy with treats. Not a good idea to constantly give sweet prizes puppies will not be good for the puppy. But if you're one of those people who think that the awards are the only way to train properly, you are not alone. Many people think so. Instead of giving your puppy sweet prizes constantly, give chopped carrots. The carrots are healthier and help strengthen teeth. You can still throw a sweet occasionally. You should not always give awards either, it depends on you that you give prizes every time you put in the right place. Instead, I reward him by saying "good girl" or "good boy", as these awards will never end.
Warnings
- Remember that your puppy will get used to your schedule. So even if you have the day off, you still need to wake up to take your dog to the usual time. Dogs are creatures of routine.
