..New Puppy Its Potty Training Time..
Okay now we have a new puppy in the
house and well first we
have to let her get to know her new surrounding ,
so allow your puppy to walk around and smell out
all the new things in the environment .
House training your puppy is about consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. The goal is to instill smart habits and build a warm bond along with your pet.
It usually takes 4-6 months for a puppy to be absolutely house trained, however some puppies could take up to a year. Size will be a predictor. for example, smaller breeds have smaller bladders and better metabolisms and need additional frequent journeys outside. Your puppy's previous living conditions are another predictor. you'll notice that you simply ought to facilitate your puppy to break recent habits so as to help your puppy make new ones.
As I got my Chihuahua Mildred from a breeder she was penned with her brothers and sister in a play pen and they were allowed to toilet in the same place where they slept so we are constantly on the ball watching her and by the time you have had your puppy for around
2 weeks you should be able to see your pup smelling the ground and well my little fur baby walks around in circles and smells the floor
so i know that she wants to go outside to the toilet ,
But don't be fooled you must go and place your puppy in the area you want them to go don't just place the pup outside as they will want to be with you so they might want to wee and poo at the backdoor .
My little girl still has a few little mishaps but what can you do !
All you can to is be on your toes and if an accident happens its not the pups fault they are still learning !
When to Begin House Training Puppy
Experts recommend that you begin house training your puppy
when he is between 12 weeks and 16 weeks old. At that point, he
has enough control of his bladder and bowel movements to learn
to hold it.
If your puppy is older than 12 weeks when you bring him home
and he’s been eliminating in a cage (and possibly eating his
waste), house training may take longer. You will have to reshape
the dog’s behaviour -- with encouragement and reward.
Steps for Housetraining Your Puppy
Experts recommend confining the puppy to a defined space,
whether that means in a crate, in a room, or on a leash. As your
puppy learns that he needs to go outside to do his business, you
can gradually give him more freedom to roam about the house.
- When you start to house train, follow these steps:
- Keep the puppy on a regular feeding schedule and take away his
- food between meals.
- Take puppy out to eliminate first thing in the morning and then
- once every 30 minutes to an hour.
- Also, always take him outside
- after meals or when he wakes from a nap.
- Make sure he goes out
- last thing at night and before he’s left alone.
- Take puppy to the same spot each time to do his business. His
- scent will prompt him to go.
- Stay with him outside, at least until he’s house trained
- .
- When your puppy eliminates outside, praise him or give him a
- treat. A walk around the neighbourhood is a nice reward.
