Housebreaking Your Puppy
When you bring home your new puppy, some training must start immediately. With just a few easy housebreaking tips, it won't be long before you can have a puppy and clean floors, too.
Understanding Puppy Physiology
To understand how to housebreak a puppy you must understand just a bit about dog physiology. Unlike humans, dogs have a short digestive tract. What goes in must come out – and rather quickly. That is basic information that makes the difference between a quick efficient housebreaking period and a long drawn out battle with your pet.
Why Puppies Need Frequent Potty Breaks
Puppies, like children, do not have the control over elimination that adult dogs usually have.
-
Rule of thumb: The smaller the dog, the more frequently they will need to go outside.
-
Puppies are very small! What they eat and drink doesn't stay in their body for very long.
Step One: Start with Newspaper Training
For the first few days or a week, place several levels of newspaper at the door that will be used to take your puppy out. Later he will learn where all the doors are, but at first just use one door to take him out to do his "duty".
Step Two: Establish a Feeding and Water Routine
As much as possible, take the puppy out into the yard about 10 minutes after he eats and 5–10 minutes after he drinks. Though dogs should always have water available, if you are there with him during the day it's fine to just give him the water dish every couple of hours rather than keeping it out all the time.
Step Three: Praise the Right Behavior
When you take your pet outside just set him down and ignore him. Don't play with him, just stay there with him. As soon as he eliminates, immediately praise him as a good dog and take him back inside right away.
Step Four: Handle Mistakes Calmly
He will make mistakes. If you see him in the process of a "goof", don't raise your voice at all. Pick him up (even if he's right in the middle of what he's doing) and place him on the layers of newspaper at the door. As you put him down to finish, tell him "good dog". Don't try to rush outside with him as you'll not make it in time and will confuse him.

Puppy training can be both exciting and exhausting; but the time and attention you put in will reward you with a well trained, and house trained, dog who is obedient and a pleasure to live. Training your pup properly is the foundation for a great friendship with your dog. Always remember that puppies are young children; supporting them, showing them kindness and rewards will cause them to be happy confident and loyal companions.
Teaching Toilet Training
Set Up a Puppy Room
The first and most important thing you must teach your new pet is where the ‘toilet’ is. Initially, the best procedure is to set up one room where the animal will sleep eat and play when it is alone; then you must entirely paper every inch of floor space with old newspapers. When you first get a young puppy it is unlikely they will be toilet trained and so it is possible you will have to start from scratch. By papering the whole of the puppy’s environment you ensure it gets used to toileting on newspaper; which is the first step.
Establishing a Routine
For the first few weeks of owning a new dog his toilet routine will be foremost on your mind. A puppy, having a small bladder, can ‘eliminate’ as much as once every hour and if the pup is going to leave the papered room then you need to know when he last ‘went’. The best procedure is to keep an eye on him and if he is to venture outside his room then ensure you take him back to it after 45 minutes, wait for him to ‘eliminate’ and then he can come out again foir another 45 minutes; this way, your house remains smell-free and pup gets used to the idea of eliminating on paper and always eliminating in a specific location – ie, his room.
Gradually Reducing Paper
As time passes you will find that your puppy tends to eliminate in one area of his room and you can then begin to remove the paper from the rest of the room. Don’t do it all at once because there will always be ‘accidents’ but by gradually removing paper over time the puppy makes the association between papered floor and toilet as well as a particular location in the room.
Positive Reinforcement
Lastly, never punish your puppy for his accidents; remember he is a young child and learns best by encouragement and reward. Each time he uses his paper give him some love and praise and this will assist in the house training. Before long you will have a house trained dog and you will have had an enjoyable time puppy training!
