This is Striker again, as I keep trying the “SIT” command. Smart little boy…even with water, food and toy available. He learned the ’sit’ command in about 5 minutes, no joke.

Puppy House Training - Barrel of Puppies
31 Mar 2010
http://www.FastPuppyTrainingSecrets.com A boiling barrel of bichon puppies being moved from house to playpen for puppy house training. The bucket keeps them safe for the trip. I should be so lucky as to be one of my dogs. They have a secure 2 acre yard in the Sonoma Wine Country to play in. All went to good homes at 10 weeks of age for more puppy traing.

Advice on dog house training problem?
30 Mar 2010
We have a 7 month old cocker spaniel who is still peeing and sometimes pooing in the house. He is taken outside regularly and often will pee when told but still hasn’t caught on that this is the way to behave. We clean up using non ammonia based products but he has peed under a very heavy bookcase and I think the wood has absorbed his urine. Any tips on removing the odour and generally on stopping this behaviour. We have had no problem in past training dogs. This is wearing us out!!
no we did not use puppy pads.
We do use a crate, he doesn’t pee in that.
Obviously we watch him but not every minute, which is all it takes!
Nature’s Miracle is a great pet stain and odour remover.
Did you at any time use puppy pads to train your puppy? That causes more problems than not.
Your puppy can’t relieve itself in the house if you’re properly supervising it. You would see him looking for a spot and immediately verbally interrupt him and put him outside. This tells me you’re not watching the puppy.
Your puppy has not earned the right to have the run of your house. If you’re not supervising him, he should be crated. When you go to bed at night, he should be crated.
You need to crate train your puppy and use the crate as part of a good housebreaking method.

house training?

how do you go about House Training A Puppy?
First off, confine him when you can’t supervise. I can’t stress enough the importance of this. For potty training, use a crate that is only big enough for her/him to comfortably stand, lie, and turn around in. He should not be able to potty in one end and lie down in the other. Make sure he’s not confined for too long — generally the age in months plus one hours (so 5 hours for a 4 month old pup). If you have to be gone longer, use an exercise pen with his open crate inside for sleeping, a potty pad for relieving himself, and some toys.
Every time you take him out of his crate take him outside. He should be on a leash. You should go through the same door every time. Take him to where you want him to potty and start repeating his potty command until he finishes. Then treat him and let him play or go for a walk.
Put food and water on a schedule. Give 20 minutes to eat and then pick food up until next scheduled meal. Give water every hour (or when he’s obviously thirsty.) By scheduling meals and water, you are able to predict when he will need to relieve himself. Put him on leash and take him out.
Watch for behaviors that tell you he needs to go out: circling, squatting, sniffing, crouching, ….
I have clients who tell me their puppies won’t go while they are outside, only to come inside and make a mess on the floor! If you find this to be a problem, give him a reasonable amount of time outside and if he doesn’t go confine him for 15 minutes when you come back inside. At the end of that time, take him back out. Repeat this process until he goes. By doing this, you are teaching him that he will earn his freedom by pottying where it’s appropriate.
Lastly, basic obedience training really can help. It clarifies leadership for your dog (and sometimes for the owners as well 
)
Dog house training?
27 Mar 2010
A couple weeks ago, we found a little chihuahua that was homeless, so we adopted it. The vet said she is about 1 year old. We are trying to house train her and I have a few questions: How long can I expect her to hold it all day? How long can she stay in a crate? Will she always have to stay in the crate to avoid accidents, or just until she learns to hold it?

Puppy house training?
23 Mar 2010
My Scottish Terrier puppy is almost 4 months and we are not making any progress with the potty/house training. We do no smack or rub her nose in it but scold her and put her outside when she has made a mess in the house.
Any advice on how to make her house trained would be welcome.
Dogs work best on schedules. Some of the best times to take her out and create a schedule with are.. Taking her out when she wakes, before you go to bed, after a nap, after play, before you leave when you come home, 20-30mins after water and 30-40 min after eating. You also need to take her out how ever many months old she is in hours, so 4 months odl every 4 hours. You do this to help build up their bladder.
Always praise your dog for going where you want her to go. You can give physical praise like good girl, or you can also give treats. When she goes indoors ignore her, unless you catch her in the act. in this case make a random sound to get her to stop then take her outside right away. Praise her if she finishes outside. You don’t want to draw attention to going inside, even negative attention is still attention. It can confuse her into thinking that you want her to go inside.You want to walk around with her outside and not just stand in one spot and stay inside and watch her threw the window. Walking helps to stimulate her to go. It can also help b/c she may want to smell out a spot to go. The reason you want to go outside with her is b/c if you praise her when she gets to the door that is what you are praising her for, going to the door not for going outside.
Some people like to teach their dogs to ring a bell to tell them they have to go. To do this hang a bell by the front door at her level. Ring it every time you take her outside. Some people take their puppies paw and ring the bell.
Use a cleaner with enzymes in it to clean the areas she goes in when she goes inside. I fidn its easier to clean it with a regular cleaner than to use a enzyme cleaner to get the stain and smell out.
Don’t get discouraged. Most dogs are not fully house trained until they are 8-10months old. Its very normal for them to have accidents. You just need to be consistence and patience.
