Tips for house training your puppy

Tips for house training your puppy:

When a new puppy comes to the house, it's an exciting time for everyone. For the return home to develop in the best possible way, it is a good idea to devote a little time to preparation.

One of the main challenges of a dog's property (especially for those who do it for the first time) is the subject of home training. However, if you equip yourself with rudimentary knowledge and a positive attitude, it is much easier than most people believe.


The new Arrival

As soon as you take the puppy home, take it outside. The excitement of the car ride along with the faces, images and unfamiliar sounds will make her have to go anyway, and if you can orchestrate her first toilet to happen outside, instead of inside, much better. And not just from the perspective of short-term hygiene, the more your puppy is relieved within itself, the more likely it is to do so again.

Returning home is a great opportunity to set a precedent for bathing behavior!

  • Take it to your designated bathing area and put it on the grass.
  • Wait while you smell-don't caress or play with it yet, because you don't want me to forge an association between this area and the games. She has to learn that this part of the yard is just to go to the bathroom.
  • When you begin to do your needs, say the phrase you want to associate with the restroom breaks: "Go pee" or "go to the toilet" or whatever works for you. The best thing is that this phrase is short and easily recognizable, and that it uses the same voice inflection every time, also (so that your dog can easily memorize the meaning of the phrase).
  • When you're done, make a big fuss about her: give her a shower of praise and affection, and give her a little gift.

When you take it inside the house, the training regimen of the house you have decided must begin immediately.

As far as home training is concerned, it is generally accepted that drawer training is the most effective and efficient way to train a puppy in a short space of time.

What is box training?

Cage training is essentially the use of a small inner cage (the cage) to confine your puppy when you are not actively supervising it.


How does it work?

The training of the Cajon is based on the inherent aversion of all the dogs to dirty the area where they sleep. Because you are restricting your puppy's movement to your sleeping space, you will instinctively "keep it" until you let it out of the box (as long as you don't leave it there too long, of course!)

That's why it's important that the box is the right size: if it's too big, you can use an end as a bed and an end like a toilet, which frustrates the whole purpose!


How do I choose a box?

As a general rule, it is more profitable to choose a box large enough for it to grow. It should be big enough for the adult dog to get up comfortably without bending over, turning around and stretching, but not larger (so you don't choose a part like your bed, and a part like your toilet).

Because the adult dog is likely to be considerably larger than the puppy, it is most likely necessary to use a barrier to reduce the inner size of the cage. A wire grid or a board will work well.

Alternatively, you can use a cheap box (or even make one) and replace it with a larger model as your puppy grows.

Using Box for house training

Drawer training works like this: Your puppy is in that drawer at all times unless he is sleeping, eating, outside going to the bathroom or playing with (active supervision).

It will have to be constant, or else it won't work: You can't let your puppy wander around the house unless you're focusing all your attention on it.

If you allow him to access the house before he is fully trained in the house, you're basically encouraging her to do her inner needs, and remember, every time she does this, it'll be easier for her to do it again (and again... and again...)


Sample schedule of the training of a morning box

7 A. M.: Awakening Puppy goes outside to go to the bathroom.
7.25: Breakfast time.
7.45: Back out for another bathroom break (accompanied by you, of course).
7.50-8.45: Time of Play! The puppy is out of the box with which it is played actively, hugged, etc.
8.45: Go for another bathroom break.
8.50-11: Puppy returns to the cage to sleep in the NAP
11 a.m.: Puppy goes outside to go to the bathroom.
11.05-12.30: Time of Play! Puppy is out of the box he is playing with and caressing.
12:30: Lunch time.
12.45: Puppy goes out with you to go to the bathroom.
1-3.30: Puppy returns to the cage in the cage.

... and so on throughout the day.

Cage training usually takes one or two months (depending on your dog's race and how much time you spend in the training process). As the puppy grows, you can begin to reduce the amount of time you spend in the cage, but be careful to do this too soon!

Other box training rules

-Probably your puppy is not very happy to get into the box the first few times you use it. She wants to be outside, be filled with affection and attention, and hang out with you (of course!) But it really is for your own good: in a surprisingly short time, you will accept the box as your own a shelter where she can go to relax and get a two hour uninterrupted sleep. It is important to persevere: do not respond to any moan or crying.
-The best place for the cage is the center of the house: usually the den or the kitchen, anywhere where people tend to congregate. The fact that she is in the box does not mean that she cannot feel part of the family; It is important that you do not feel isolated or excluded.
-The box must be a cozy and cozy place for her to go. Place a couple of thick blankets or towels on the floor, and place some toys and a chewing or two inside as well. The door must be inviting open all the time (unless she is there, of course, in which case it must be safely closed).

Some hygiene data about puppies that will be useful

-the bladders and intestines of the puppies are so small and weak that they only have a very small window of opportunity between knowing that they must go and that that need becomes an immediate reality. Because of this, it is imperative that you take her outside as soon as she wakes up (she will let you know she has to go out kicking the door and complaining), and within ten minutes of eating or playing.
-behaviors that indicate that she needs to go outside include sniffing the ground and spinning. Again, because she is small, she will not display these warning signs for a long time, so as soon as it starts, remove it immediately. It's better an unnecessary ride to the yard than an unnecessary wet patch on the rug!
-The maximum amount of time a puppy can be packed at the same time is calculated using the following equation: his age in months, plus one. Then a three-month-old puppy can be packed for a maximum of four hours. However, this is likely to be physically rather uncomfortable for her (not to mention her emotional and psychological hardness: it's hard to be crowded with nothing to do), so she should get it out at least once every two hours during the day. . If she's sleeping, of course, just let her sleep until she wakes up naturally.
