5 Tips on Puppies Crate Training

2009-03-30T02:53:00.000-07:00

1. First of all, when you just get a new puppy dog and want to give him puppies crate training, you need to find a small crate that is the perfect size for him. Since you need to anticipate his increases in size over the next couple weeks, you need to make sure the size of the crate is large enough. On the other hand, the crate is also has to be small enough so your puppy dog doesn't find a small corner of the crate to relieve himself in.

2. At the beginning, you need to confine your puppy dog in his crate just for short periods of time. Then you need to take him outside the house at regular time to make him takes care of his business. Don’t forget to lavish him with praise and give him a reward after he is done. But if he doesn't, you need to take your puppy dog back inside the house and put him to his crate. You need to do this puppies crate training’s step every day regularly until you see a pattern and finally your puppy dog's elimination schedule will become clear.

3. The third dicipline on puppies crate training is, don't keep your puppy dog in his crate for a long period of time. This is the crucial part, because you need to invest your time to remove him from his crate at regular time to take him outside the house. If you do let your puppy dog in his crate for al ong time, your puppy dog might relieve himself in his crate and that means you need to do the puppies crate training all over again.

4. Always lavish with a praise and reward your puppy dog after doing elimination but never give him any punishment in any accident. That is the fourth dicipline on puppies crate training.

5. If accident happens you just need to clean it up and write down the time when it happens. This is normal, because accidents happen to all dog along the way. But when accident happens, and you swat your puppy dog’s head with a newspaper, or you rub his nose in his own mess , this will only fright your puppy dog to eliminate in your presence, and even worse, you will back to square one and start the puppies crate training all over again.

House Training Puppies

2009-03-29T02:50:00.000-07:00

House training puppies can be devided in two techniques. The first is paper training and the second is crate training. Both techniques are basically about teaching your puppy dog when and where to do the elimination. Yup, that’s right, elimination. It is crucial especially if you've just become the owner of a brand new puppy dog. Why?... well, most puppy dogs needs to eliminate as many as as six times a day! But the good thing is, the sooner you begin the house training puppies, the less damage your carpets and furnishings will suffer! House training puppies is easier than house training an mature dog, just get ready to spend some amount of time and effort. But if you think you don’t have time to do house training, then you better reconsider your decision to get a puppy dog.

OK, back to the techniques. The crate training you can actually read on my earlier posting, puppies crate training. The paper training is a technique where you will direct your puppy dog to a spot that you have layered with newspaper. Just make sure that you have papered a large area to begin with. And if you want to make cleaning easier, you better pick an area with no carpet. Usually, the kitchens and laundry rooms are the best spots.

When you’re not home with him for a long period of time during this house training puppies , remember to confine your puppy dog to his little room where the floor has been covered with newspaper. And then, as time goes by, you would notice your puppy dog will start to show a preferred spot in the room for doing elimination. When you see the spot is well established and the rest of the papers remain clean, that means this the time to gradually decrease the area of he floor that is papered until you are only leaving a few sheets down in that one area only.

Now after reading the two house training puppies techniques, you need to know when the usual time your puppy dog do the elimination. Actually there is no way you can predict when your puppy dog’s elimination times if you’re not controlling the feeding times. Therefore, during this house training puppies, you should ONLY offer food at set mealtimes each day and should not be left available all day or night. If your puppy dog hasn’t eaten his food within 20-30 minutes, pick up the dish and don’t put more food until the next scheduled eating time. Of course you’ll need to allow him access to water at all times, but the consequence is you will never be sure when he might need to pee.

During house training puppies, don’t forget to take your puppy dog outside on a leash as soon as you get up every morning. Take him to the same elimination spot every time and wait there with him until he takes care of his business. After he’s done, praise him lavishly for being a clever and good puppy dog that he is, and then take him back inside your house for breakfast. After feeding him, try to play a few minutes with your puppy dog and then take him back outside on his leash, to his elimination spot as before.
