Consistency, commitment, patience and paying close attention are needed for house training your dog as well as newspaper.
A guide for training your puppy is listed below. Remember that accidents will happen even if you have a full grown dog.
To house train your puppy faster, be consistent. Training can last for several weeks or more so be patient.
Develop a routine.
Puppies do better with regular schedules just like babies do. Setting up a schedule teaches him that there are certain times for eating, playing and going potty.
For every month of age, a puppy can control their bladder for an hour. So, if the puppy is two months old, then he can control his bladder for two hours. Remember this when taking your puppy out for potty breaks. Hiring a dog walker might be necessary if you work away from the home to keep the schedule.
Your puppy needs to taken outside when he wakes up, after he eats or drinks, and during or after playtime. Use the same spot each time you take him out and make sure to use a leash. Teach him to associate words like “go potty” with using the bathroom. Use the words while he using the bathroom.
Rewards are one way to teach your puppy. When he has finished using the bathroom praise him or give him a treat before he goes back into the house.
Using a regular feeding schedule will help with the bathroom schedule. Normally, puppies will eat three or four times a day. Feeding him at the same time every day will make him more consistent when potty training.
To keep your puppy from needing to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, put his dishes up about two hours before bedtime. If he does wake up in the middle of the night, stay calm, so he won’t think it is time to play. Don’t turn on a lot of lights or play with him. Take him outside and then go back to bed.
Supervise.
While your puppy is in the house, watch him so he will not have an accident.
When the puppy is not being trained or played with, have him on a six foot leash beside you. If he begins sniffing, barking, circling, scratching at the door or becomes restless, he may need to use the bathroom. Take him outside immediately if you notice this behavior. Use praise or treats to reward him when he is done using the bathroom.
