Always bear in mind that housebreaking a puppy requires consistent repeatedbehavior on YOUR part for your puppy to learn the expected action on theirpart. Puppies need to eliminatefrequently, so as soon as the pup wakes in the morning, after a meal and afterevery nap, take the pup directly outdoors on a leash to do “his business”keeping in mind, every success will reinforce the desired behavior. With positive training youemphasize teaching a dog what they should do to earn rewards, rather thanpunishing them for unwanted behavior. Take the puppy to the sameplace each time, stay with him and give him 10-15 minutes to"perform". There should be nooutdoor play until the pup understands that the outdoors is the place to go torelieve them. Using an expressionassociated with the action is very helpful in the teaching process. Choose your own words - " go potty"- "time for business" “let itrain” etc. Everyone should use the samephase when taking the pup outside. When the same phrase is repeated over and over rather quickly the pup learnswhat it is you want. Your puppy is a veryintelligent animal and is eager to please you. When your pup does what you've requested, heap adoring praise on yourpuppy and bring him back into the house immediately and give your “champ” alittle treat. Something special reservedfor “a job well done”. This treat willhelp your pup to associate his successful elimination outside with a tastyreward. Pay attention to the signalsyour puppy may give you. This may bewhining, circling, and scratching the floor, sniffing at various places orgoing towards the door. IT'S UP TO YOUTO LEARN TO READ YOUR PUPPY’S MESSAGES !!! Be patient and remember that you are dealing with a “ baby” with a small bladder,and you should expect to have some accidents until the pup is about 6 months old.When you are angry walk away and only return when you have a plan for positivestrategy. When accidents do happen, DONOT RUB HIS NOSE IN IT, OR HIT HIM. Arolled up newspaper has no value in teaching a dog potty training. If you catch the pup in the action speak in afirm voice and tell him “NO, NO we go“use your potty phrase” outside and take the pup to the spot. If you do not catch the pup doing the dirtydeed, they will not understand the connection of the communication and doingtheir business in the selected spot. The dog crate will be your most valuable asset in the house-training effort. Dogs are den animals and they will not want to soil the sleeping area if theycan help it. Pups will whine or bark from the crate when they need to go out, but they willdo that too if they just wants to be with you. This is what we call the "Puppy Con" and you'll have to learnto differentiate between them. Ignorethe mes...
