How to Housebreak Your
Puppy
By: Cassandra Stinchcombe
So you gave yourself the gift of a new puppy or someone else gave it to you.
Unfortunately, this little bundle of joy doesn’t understand the specific places
designated for going to the bathroom. So what do you do? How do you housebreak
your new pet?
Housebreaking really isn’t all that difficult. As with all, dog training it will
take consistency and patience but the hardest part will actually be training you
and the rest of your family.
Before you start any training, you always want to be certain your pet is
healthy. There is nothing worse then continually disciplining your puppy for
going in the house and then finding out they have a kidney or bladder
dysfunction.
The key to housebreaking your puppy is close supervision. You need to catch your
pet right before or in the act of making a mistake so you can immediately say
“ah ah” and take them outside or on to their paper. Using a crate can really
speed up the whole process because it makes it easier for you and the rest of
the family know when your puppy will need to go to the bathroom. General, but
this will very with each puppy, about thirty minutes after eating your puppy
will need to go. I recommend feeding your puppy at specific times then put them
inside their crate for the thirty minutes and then take them directly outside.
Walk around for a bit, if they haven’t gone after a few minutes take them back
inside and put them in their crate, repeat until they go to the bathroom. Having
treats and lots of praise ready for when then do go will also speed up the
process of you puppy learning. Some other times your puppy will most likely need
to go is right after waking up and after excited play.
Another thing to keep in mind is how long puppies can actually hold their
bladder and bowels for:
2 months old - 3 hours
3 months old - 4 hours
5 months old - 6 hours
6 months old - 7 hours
So, if you work a 9-5 job and your planning on leaving your puppy at home by
it’s self all day it may not be realistic to expect your puppy to be housebroken
until at least 6 months old.
When your pet starts to go to the bathroom outside you want to have a word that
you will say. This way your dog with start associating your command with the act
of going to the bathroom. Eventually your dog will be able to go on command,
this can come in really handy in the winter when it’s really cold and you want
your pet to hurry up. “Hurry up” is the command I have chosen to use with my
dogs. I think is sounds better then “Go potty” or “toilet”, but it’s your
command so you chose what ever word you will feel most comfortable with.
Housebreaking your pet should not take very long, if your finding that your pet
is continually having accidences and it’s driving you insane ask yourself two
questions. One, could my puppy have a health problem? If not, have I really been
consistent in watching my puppy and catching him before or during the mistake.
If you haven’t been consistent you can’t really expect the dog to understand.
It’s time consuming at first because you really need to pay attention to what
your dog is doing and what he looks like when he’s about to go to the bathroom.
But remember if your consistent everything goes much smoother and your puppy
will be housebroken in no time.
