How to do anything is how you do everything. How do you train toilet a puppy is like toilet training a dog. Brought into the urinal, use the commands, praise when they do good, limiting the space in the house until they can be good in that space. I use a box * train toilet with him, but only for potty and then break down and store. I put blankets and a small food and water dish in the box. Dogs do not go to the bathroom, where to eat and sleep. First time recently, just waiting to hold your bathroom for 4 hours, and after 6 hours, 8 hours and so on. So when their first little, I set a timer or an alarm clock to wake me up at night to carry out *. I only allow my puppy in the room * Or the living room, only one room at a time. They have more room to pass. If I allow them to have a full schedule of the house, they were overwhelmed. I hold the same door every time. I tie a dinner bell on the doorknob. Do not use a bell as they could get their fingers caught in it. So when small, rang the doorbell for them, and then open the door to go * outside toilet. When they are older, I take their paw and hit the bell and opens the door to the bathroom. Finally, to get the place where the puppy will ring the bell and let me know when they need to go to the bathroom. Dogs want to please you, so it's their job to let them know what are the behaviors that please, and what does not. So when my puppy goes to the bathroom, give her a gift *, and clap, and make a fuss and praise her. This entire it was going to the bathroom makes me happy. If she has an accident, a sound of disgust as "TSST" and remove it immediately. * Never yell or hit my puppies. Enjoy of them when they first wake up, after eating or drinking, before nap, romping end, when their activities change, or when they are sniffing around. Some puppies go pee right away, but can not go poop until 10 minutes later to wait for the poop. I have a little time to play here, because sometimes I think they do, and are not. Puppies train at their own pace. While it may have a puppy that has not had an accident in several weeks, not lower our guard. I do not expect my puppies to be "fully potty trained "until one year old. If you have a setback, Shake It Off, and start again. I only have my puppies in the box when I'm not looking. When I'm asleep cooking, ironing, doing homework, basically when I'm not looking. The rest of the time she is out of the box on the practice of being a "big girl". This is the time to train their behavior at home. So we are practicing "no barking", "no biting", "no jumping" and "not like the furniture." I also have to practice "inner game" to not knock over things. You must keep the puppy in sight when are little, they do not know the difference between newspaper and carpet, and you do not like sneaking off and getting into trouble. Some puppies can sleep through the night around 3 months of age, but their bladder is grown around 6-months old. REVISIONS: * I use a crate for training. It is the preferred method in comparison with other methods I've tried. I realized that if they are in the crate, while I am doing chores, they are fine, because the box lets me and to restore confidence. The box also can be a comfort when stored in the basement for dogs who live in areas where thunderstorms and tornados are an issue. . However, using the method that works best for you ….. a laundry basket, a cardboard box, a woof-woof house, x-pen, child gates, whatever works for you. * Outside, platform urinating, litter box, whichever method is used. When the puppy is first little, keep the platform to urinate, litter box near food and water dish, so the puppy can eat and drink, then go to the bathroom. You can move them away as they age. The pad has a scent that smells of urine and begins with potty. Sometimes a pee platform makes a sound that scares some puppies, so you might want to use a litter box if that happens. Pee pad allows a puppy for a walk, but a litter box keeps the puppy in one place. * Bedrooms, I use the bedroom and training room, because it works for me. Select rooms working for you, but beware of the rooms that are damp, or drafty. While my puppies sleep in the bedroom during training, once they are trained, I let them sleep where they want. They do not have to sleep in the bedroom forever. * Treats. While the use is training, not have to. Likes Charlee Bears (formation of a small biscuit to a small mouth) use them for training, but once they are formed, cut back. * Some puppies go to the bathroom in the same place each time. Some puppies have to tell them to go to the bathroom. A command like "go out" for pee, or "go finish" for poop, can work for you, keep saying "go finish" until the puppy poops. This train is a good thing when traveling with their dogs. By using commands, the puppy not be confused when you are visiting someone, on vacation with you, or when you get to a new home. The command to say what we want to do in an unknown location. Also you may want to use a leash method, so the puppy does not sneak off, or for strange places. * Yelling. Not a good idea to "yell" or "paste" your puppy and then take them out when they have an accident. They may be confused and think that going outside is punishment. While you want to correct them, if they are extreme, may not want to leave again. Shake it off, and resume your schedule. You have to keep real. Puppies train at their own pace, but a puppy can only hold your bathroom for a few hours. A guide will be 1 hour for every month of age, more than 1 hour, so a three-month puppy is expected to hold only your bathroom for 4 hours maximum.
