Dog get housebroken
The sooner the puppy learns to do his little and big business outside and not in the apartment, the less stressful you will get your dog housebroken. Thanks to a few helpful tips and tricks as well as a lot of patience, your dog and you together master the time to complete housebrokenness.
With patience and strong nerves for housebrokenness
Preliminary: No dog is inherently "housebroken", but must be educated to do so. This will immediately start without a "grace period" as soon as the puppy has moved in with you. Your dog should not be older than 20 weeks if you start with the cleanliness training. Because this is the toddler age, in which a dog learns the fastest and easiest for life. However, you need a lot of patience and strong nerves, until your darling is really housebroken. Depending on the breed, it can take up to eight months for the dog to do its business where it should. Giving up is not, because at some point even the most obstinate dog housebroken - provided you stay consistent.
After waking up, after eating and playing - so often must a puppy
A small puppy wants to empty itself at the beginning almost every hour, later the distances become bigger and bigger. As a rule of thumb: In the morning after waking up, after eating and after playing "must" the puppy. He will first go there, where he wants. As a signal for imminent relief, many puppies begin to uneasily turn around themselves. As soon as possible, you should then pick up the dog and run with him into the open. If you do not have your own garden, the next bit of green in front of the house or a tree can be the destination for business. In any case, it must first always be the same place, so that your dog gets used to it.
Penalties and praise around the business - sense and nonsense
If it comes to a premature mishap on the floor or the stairs, you should not punish the dog. A loud "No" or "Pfui" is sufficient, then you wipe off the legacy away. Controversial is whether you should push the little dog "as punishment" with his nose in his business. Some dog owners swear by it, others reject this method as ultimately futile and a torment for the sensitive dog's nose. After successful action praise, lots of pampering and sometimes a treat are an absolute must. At some point, your dog has realized that he must report to the relief and may only do his business outside.
Pads and lattice for puppies - works sometimes
Some dog owners swear in education for housebroken on so-called dog pads and a puppy lattice. You can get both in pet supplies. The puppy is then placed in this playpen at the "critical moments" and can do his business on the pads. Gradually you move the grille towards the door and reduce the number of pads. You do that until the dog gets along without pads and grids, where business is concerned. For all dogs, this method does not work.
