Easy Tips For House Breaking Your Puppy
If you are lucky enough to get a 7-week-old puppy, there is no
excuse for any bad habits to develop over his lifetime. Puppies
learn INSTANTLY when they are that young, and if you use the
proper training methods, gentle but consistent, he will behave
like an angel his whole life through.
The most important training, of course, is housebreaking. Boys
are easier than girls because exploring outside is their
favorite thing. They just cannot get enough of all the new
smells out there!
The main key to housebreaking is watching. Watch your puppy AND
the clock. Once every hour is not too often on a day he is
active and the weather is good. The younger the pup, the more
often he needs to go out, mostly because he is growing so fast.
He must drink more water to fuel his metabolism than he does as
an adult. Also, since he eats three or four times a day, you
know what that means.
Watch him for subtle changes. If he is happily chewing his toy,
and gets up suddenly with his nose to the floor, move quickly!
He is ready to squat! If he has had a nice nap, get him out of
his crate and outside right away. If he has just had a good
grooming, it stimulates his circulation and guess what? Time to
go out again. And of course after a meal, watch him extra close.

remember: ---Do not punish him for mistakes. They are
YOUR fault. Every time you take him out he will go, and praise
praise and praise! Happy face, laughter, happy noises! He loves
your happy face. When he makes a mistake, your frown and your
face turned away from him is all the punishment he needs. He
will get the point.
---He is learning English, you must use the same phrases over
and over. "Good go potty!" "Hafta go potty?" "Wanna go potty?"
He can learn in one afternoon that "go potty" means a jaunt
outside and your happy face. Whatever phrase you choose, stick
with it.
---I cannot recommend strongly enough getting a crate. They
truly help with all phases of his training. They make him more
secure, provide him with his very own private space and a place
for him to hide his favorite toys and chewies. This is even more
important if you have other adult dogs in the house.
Be consistent, always be kind and gentle, and be patient as he
learns your language, and your puppy will always look forward to
his training sessions. Dogs love to work!
