Dog Lovers

House training a puppy is all a matter of routine, so if you have reached the point where you are asking “how do I stop my dog peeing in the house?” you need to understand immediately that this is happening because you haven’t yet established that necessary potty training routine for him.

A puppy doesn’t come to you already trained. He’s just been taken away from his siblings and the environment he was born into and was used to. He’s frightened and probably very confused.

• So-Tip Number 1: Never ever punish him or shout at him for accidents. All this will achieve is to make him even more frightened and less receptive to learning what is expected of him. This is by far the most important tip. In the long run, patience and kindness are the fastest route.
• Tip Number 2: Don’t allow your new puppy to have the run of the house; keep him in a restricted area but make it somewhere where he can see you and hear you. I am a very strong believer in crate training a puppy, this then makes the process especially easy.
• Tip Number 3: Immediately you wake up in the morning, take your puppy outside to the same place each time and repeat the same word to him in a happy, encouraging voice. I have always repeated “Quickly”, but it can be anything provided you stick to the same word. When he has peed, pat him and praise him lavishly. Tell him he’s a “good dog”.
• Tip Number 4: Immediately after your puppy has eaten take him outside and repeat the process.
• Tip Number 5: Always go out through the same door so that it all becomes part of the routine. As a precaution, keep the floor by the door covered with newspaper and always keep a watchful eye on the puppy and whenever he walks over to the door and especially if he starts sniffing the floor or trotting round in circles, take him outside to the usual place.
• Tip Number 6: A puppy naps a lot throughout the day. Whenever he wakes from a nap, take him outside. Again, this requires you to be vigilant. If he wakes up and you aren’t around to take him outside, that’s your fault, not his!
• Tip Number 7: Don’t expect a puppy to go through the night without needing to go outside. Place his crate or bed close to yours so that you can hear him immediately he begins to wake and take him outside to his familiar spot fast.

In the end house training a puppy is just one part of the whole dog training picture. Throughout, you will need to be calm and rely upon positive reinforcement. Shouting and punishment will set you back weeks and could very easily destroy your puppy’s confidence, making all other training difficult to return my preference for crate training a puppy makes it so much easier restrict your certain area while you are engaged in other activities around the house provide him with clean comfortable blanket and cuddly doggie toy he will very quickly accept as his space of course should never view prison allow out frequently outside pee eat drink especially play games vigorous game tire happily peeing nap tired is good involve romp before settling down night

Two really good ploys for night-time when house training a puppy is to wrap an old fashioned ticking alarm clock in a blanket. The ticking will be similar to his mother’s heartbeat and will sooth him to sleep. If it’s not summer, a warm hot water bottle in his blankets will also be a great sleep inducer.
