Dog training. I've just got a puppy (2 months old) and I'd really appreciate some tips on training her.
What is the best way to train her not to go to the toilet indoors and how old should she be when I start to train her to sit, lay down etc...
Also any other tips or websites I'd really appreciate also.
Thanks in advance.
After a dog has urinated or defecated in the house, obviously you will clean this up. Perhaps you think that you have got rid of the smell and your friends will possibly confirm this, however you dog will still be aware of a smell. Your dog thinks that your house is a bathroom; dogs have a much greater sense of smell than we have.
In the UK there is a washing powder to use in washing machines called Ariel get the BIOLOGICAL version and clean your carpets and your tiled floors with this. Put newspapers under the section of carpet that you have cleaned.
When you are sure that you have cleaned every part of the carpet that your dog has pooed or peed on, do the following.
Always pick your dog up and carry it into the yard/garden every time it wakes up, after it has been fed or had a drink. Hopefully you have a fenced yard, if not keep it on a lead. IF you dog urinates and when it is in full flow use a catch phrase I say “get one”, always use the same catch phrase when your dog obliges. Then praise profusely afterwards, let your dog sniff around the yard/garden and play with it. Use your catchphrase for the rest of your dog’s life and when it’s an adult it will pee on command.
When you are sitting watching TV. and your dog is in the room with you, keep it on a lead and if it moves pick it up and take it out. Your dog will be unable to control its bladder or bowels during the night, however if it has produced a pee in the garden try to use a sheet of newspaper to absorb some of this. Put this sheet of newspaper on top of several others and your dog will use this as a bathroom during the night.
Don’t give your dog the run of the house and confine it to a small room, hopefully with a tiled floor at night. Do not chastise him when you find pee or poo on the floor when you get up the following day.
It is very difficult to house train a puppy if it’s left alone for a long period of time, try to stay with it as much as possible and restrict your social life for a while. This will pay huge dividends and your puppy will feel more secure.
Other training can start ASAP and if you are gentle, kind and give your dog lots of praise your dog will enjoy training. Do take her to a training class.
