      Potty Training Your Puppy? Effective Tips and Guide | Easy Online …

      Potty training is one of the most important things your puppy must learn. Common sense should tell you why it is the most vital part of raising a puppy and has to be done consistently to be effective. Apart from the maintenance of your household hygiene, trained dogs are happy dogs.

      There are numerous ways to potty train your puppy, depending on your circumstances and dog type. Paper training is suitable for puppies that have not been vaccinated yet and for those who live in high raise apartments where access to a garden by the dog itself is almost impossible.

      Crate training, suitable for urban living dogs make use of the dog’s instinctive nature of not messing up their sleeping area to train the dog to control its bladder and relieve only when he is out of the crate.

      The common choice would be to train your dog to go outside to the back yard or the garden to relieve.

      The idea potty training age is when your puppy reaches the age of 8 to 12 weeks old. Remember the adage about how old dogs can’t learn new tricks? It is not completely true but right in some ways because it is much easier to train a younger dogs when undesirable habits are not formed. So, don’t take any chances.

      There are many ways in life to achieve the same desired results. Of them, there are hard ways and easy ways, right ways and wrong ways. The best course of action is to use the easiest and fastest way to get the right results. This requires a lot of supervision and positive reinforcement. Let’s see how best to achieve what we want in order to potty train our new puppy.

      To begin, you should allocate an area for your puppy to eliminate outside or inside the house, you should show him the way to this spot and praise him generously after he finishes

      If you praise and reward him immediately after he finishes his job, it encourages him to eliminate in that area alone. The urine odor will be detectable by your puppy and he will learn to associate it as the place to relieve himself.

      To help the puppy to remember, always use the same door and spot where you want your puppy to eliminate. Use soiled newspaper to mark the area and hint your puppy on where is the right spot.

      Next is to make your puppy learn about his elimination routines. Dogs are habitual animals; they are born instinctively to keep to routines. When your puppy is six to eight weeks old, you should bring him out to relieve after every few hours. The frequency will reduce as he grows older and can control his bladder better. During puppy hood, take him to the allocated elimination area at the following times of the day – Upon waking in the morning, after naps, meals, play, training sessions and just before bedtime.

      Taking your pup out at around the same time every day will be very beneficial for the both of you. This will help in establishing a routine, and will make him learn to hold it in until you become available to take him out.

      At this time, you must learn how to look for clues, if your puppy is accustomed to roaming freely around the house, search for signs that show you he needs to do it. Be really observant of his behavior, such as, heavy sniffing, circling an area, staring at the door with an intense look on his face.

      You can train your dog with two more commands to help him understand potty training faster. Use “Hurry up”, or “Potty now”, command to associate it with potty time. So, say “hurry up” or “potty” in an encouraging tone just when he gets the urge to “go”. Your puppy will understand and associate the command with potty time, and will get down to relieve himself. Once he’s done, praise him lavishly.

      During potty training, your puppy is bound to make mistakes like any other puppies. In part 2 of this article, you will learn how to excuse his mistakes and more tips to help you train your puppy in double quick time

      Your puppy is your new family member and if trained correctly will give you lots of joy for many years to come.

      Can I crate train a new puppy in the same crate as my older dog?

      I have a 14 month old Lab who is very well trained. I am considering getting a new lab puppy and was curious if she should be crate trained in her own crate or if it would be ok, or perhaps even better, to put her in the crate with the older one.

      How do you crate train your puppy in your apartment without getting evicted?!?

      I just got this (guessing) 3 month old lab mix puppy and she howls and cries so bad when I try to put her in her crate that I’m afraid I’ll get kicked out of my place. I know I need to let her cry it out so she gets over it and learns to accept her crate, but she sounds like she’s being abused. Does it get better as they get older? She hates it right now, but I’m going to eventually need to leave her for a while when I go out without her.

        Is it possible to train your puppy to go pee outside after you’ve already begun training him to go inside?

        I have a Bichon Frise and they are notoriously difficult to potty train. He’s almost finished with his puppy shots and since he continues to go in the house, EVERYWHERE HE CAN, even though I’m “crate training” him, I want to try taking him outside everytime instead of to his “spot” indoors because it just seems not to be working. After his shots are complete, I’d like to begin trying to take him outside. Do you have any ideas on what I can do to help him learn where the correct “spot” is??? I give him plenty of praise when he goes inside where he’s supposed to but then about 30 minutes later, he’s peeing somewhere else in the house again. My husband thinks I should give him a good slap with a newspaper everytime he has an accident, but I find that rather cruel. Plus, he’s only going to be 16 weeks old, he’s just a baby (smile).. . . . . . SOMEONE HELP – PLEASE!!!!

        Why you always fail at crate training your dog

        Crate Training Dogs is a pretty simple task.The steps involved with crate training are actually not designed to be difficult. Nonetheless, a bunch of people fail at crate training their dogs simply because these people don’t realize what they should be doing and how they ought to be doing it. Many people don’t actually realize the strategy required to effectively train your puppy to enjoy their crate. This article is made to help these people to solve their crate training problems.

        These are the 3 major reasons people fail to effectively crate train puppies:

        An important part of crate training is to never feed or provide drinking water to your puppy while they are in the crate. Dogs have very short digestive systems and will usually “go” withing 5 to 30 minutes after eating and drinking. Feeding them in their crate promotes accidents in the house and takes the place of the rest room area that you have designated for your puppy. You can give your dog small treats to show them that they have done the right thing when they go into their crate, but stay away from full blown meals and water in the crate. If you are concerned that your dog my be hungry or thirsty then you need to just give them a time to do so when you can take them out immediatly after they finish.

        Buying a crate that is to large for your puppy. This is the most common and easily fixed problem that I know of. Most people will buy a big crate either because of the breed growth potential or trying to provide space for the do to “move around”. This usually only gives your puppy space to move bowels. This is usually the straw that breaks the camels back so to speak in terms of crate training problems. To make the area in the crate smaller you can put up dividers that leave just enough room to stand up, lay down, and turn around.

        Using the crate as punishment. Your dog will not like the crate if you use it to punish him or her. You want to have your puppy wanting to be in the crate and feeling comfortable inside with the door open or closed. You will not achieve this if you punish your dog by crate time out. An alternative to this would be to punish them by simply scolding them and turning your back on them. If they try to play with you or be friendly this is an attempt to get rid of the problem by making you happy again. You should leave the room if your dog attempts to do this to show your puppy that you are serious. Soon, your dog will realize that what ever they have done wrong is what made you dissatisfied with them and made you leave and they will stop wanting you to be displeased with them so they will not do whatever they were doing that they were not supposed to do. That will solve the behavior problem and keep your puppy in love with the crate.

        Crate Training puppies with these simple tips in mind will usually help you in having success with your crate training sessions.

        How To Crate Train A Puppy At Night – The Basics | dog training …

         Are you looking for infomation on how to crate train a puppy at night?  Puppy crate training is a simple process and can be a very efficient tool for house training when applied properly . Ensure that when utilizing a crate, you implement the right techniques to get the best results.

        Continue reading to discover how to potty train a puppy through using a crate.  The following advice will help you begin when you are learning how to crate train a puppy at night:

        To start with, dogs are den dwelling animals and they will not eliminate in the same location as they sleep. That is why crate training can absolutely be a beneficial aid when you’re crate training a puppy. It is best to introduce the crate early on , as this can help your puppy take to it easier. The crate supplies other benefits as well, since it provides your pet a familiar place of their own and provides a sense of protection . For this reason it is extremely important that you never use the crate as a form of discipline . Also, don’t leave your dog in the crate for extended periods of time. If you do, they will likely wind up soiling their crate and the potty training process is going to be set back weeks or even months

        Secondly, puppies don’t have much bowel and bladder control, particularly when they are under the age of 4 months. Refrain from crating puppies under 9 weeks of age because they will need to eliminate very often and this will only set back the house training process. When you originally introduce your puppy to the crate ensure that it’s appealing to them. Place treats within, as well as making sure there is something comfortable placed on the floor of the crate. Don’t pressure your dog to go inside, allow them to go on their own free will. Make sure you praise them when they enter, but leave the door open and allow them to move in and out until they start to seem comfortable.

         Lastly, once your dog seems to have taken to the crate, you should try shutting the door and see how your pet reacts. Don’t allow them out if they start whimpering or barking, because this can only serve to enforce the idea that as soon as they do this they will be let out. You are able to let them out as long as they are being quiet. Next, begin to extend the amount of time that you leave them in the crate when you are around at first. Once they seem comfortable with this, you can then leave the room for a few minutes and see how they respond . Then start leaving the room for longer intervals

        These are just a few of the basic simple tips that will help you when learning how to crate train a puppy at night.
