In the second half of week 1 we spend some time refreshing the pups on their off-leash heeling. The owners practice luring and maintaining their pups attention while the pups practice walking attentively without jumping up or lagging. We finish the class with a little Off practice

My husband and I will be getting a shih tzu puppy in 2 weeks. I am definately excited!!! The breeder that were getting the dog from says she will have the dog potty trained and also will be training him in other areas too.
I plan on training the puppy more and continuing the training. My question is are there any good websites regarding training methods for puppies/dogs?
I’d recommend that you contact a trainer for a good puppy socialization class. That will teach you everything you need to know, plus make sure that your puppy is properly socialized. Contact a trainer from the Association of Pet Dog Trainers:

Socializing your puppy correctly is essential and can prevent lifelong problems with shy/fearfulness.

Boomer has some new tricks to show off. Among the newer ones are moonwalk and bow. I am currently trying to combine back, come, and twirl into one command: line dance.

Is it better to put them in a crate that is only big enough for them to sleep in at bed time, or is it better to put them in a crate with a sleeping area & a pee pad area? what do you find is more effective? this is only for during the night when it’s bed time!
crate big enough to sleep. dogs dont like to urintate where they sleep but you’ll have to wake up if he cries & take him out to go potty. but it shouldnt take more then a few weeks for him to be potty trained
I have a 4 and a half month old lab mix at home who we’ve had for a couple months and he isn’t making any progress on his potty training. He frequently urinates right next to us after going outside less than a half hour beforehand.
Here is what we’ve done already to try and help him along:
-Attempted to put a bell on the door to try to get him to tell us and mandates he rings it before he gets to go out
-Made him wear male bands
-Yelled at him for going inside
-Given treats and praise for every potty outside
-Increased the frequency of his visits outside
Any other ideas? Feel free to ask me for any more information
We’ve also been crate training and he does just fine in the crate with no accidents so I know he CAN hold it.
I also don’t want people to get the wrong idea… we don’t yell at him all the time, only when we catch him in the act. I know that negative reinforcement is bad but we ran out of other ideas.
I would forget the bell, for the time being. Keep it simple :o)
I have heard of using male bands for marking, but never for potty training.
I have housetrained many, many dogs (none as young as yours, though) and this is the method I use:
If the dog pees inside, clean it up with an enzyme cleaner to remove the smell. If you CATCH the dog peeing inside, say NO (you dont need to yell), immediately pick the dog up and take it outside.
If the dog poops inside, pick the poop up and take it out to where you want the dog to go. Again, clean up with an enzyme cleaner. Again, if you CATCH the dog going, say NO and pick them BOTH up, and take them BOTH outside.
When the dog goes outside where he is supposed to, throw a party :o)
I take adult dogs outside last thing at night (before crating for the night), first thing in the morning, and every two hours during the day (if that is not enough for a puppy, someone who knows puppies can tell you).
I keep dogs who are not yet housebroken confined to areas where there is no carpet, because most dogs prefer to use a soft surface, plus I can spot a mess more quickly that way.
I think you may be missing the crucial enzyme cleaner step. I use Natures Miracle. Dogs recognize the "bathroom" by the smell, so you need to be sure to remove any smell inside. Plus, you need to establish the smell outside. That is why you need to take the poop out with you.

What is the best way to potty train a puppy (and how do you do it) besides kennel training. She throws a HUGE fit in her kennel!!!
Crate training is the best method. Some pups take some time to get used to it though, you just have to stay perisistant with it. Without crate training, be prepared to watch that puppy 24 hours a day and getting no sleep because when you do fall asleep, she will use the floor. You can get some pee pads and train her to use those while in the house and when you’re asleep but still work with her on going outdoors when you’re with her. My puppy never took to the pee pads but crate training did wonders!

I have two 7 week old puppies (Got them at 6 weeks old). They’re both half chi./half Jack Russel terrier. There’s a male and a female.
The question I have is, the boy keeps peeing RIGHT NEXT to the puppy pad I have in my room. I have two of the pads in my room. I’ve even watched him do it and tell him several times no.
Well, right after they wake up, I take them both outside. the female pees and poops. And then they start playing together, him not going to the bathroom. We’ve tried holding her, so she wouldn’t distract him, but then he wouldn’t do anything. I would pick him up, but him way out into the back yard, in the grass, with me standing next to him, but he would run away, going back to the concrete.
Well, we would stay out there for 20 minutes, come back inside and he immediately goes to a random spot and pees and poops.
How can I make him stop?
I have 2-10 wks old pups and I was having the same issue. This info helped.

What is the best way to potty train my pomeranian and my pug-zu my pomeranian is about a year and my pug-zu is about ten weeks old I have looked online but I can’t find anything to work! Any suggestions please!
Thank you
I can tell you from my experience. I got my mini schnauzer about a year ago and he never poop or peed on the floor. I trained him by sleeping on the couch with him and every time he would wake up we went out first, then we would go in a eat and play. you have to watch them constantly it is important to take them out before they go to be as well. because after they eat, normally they need to go out and potty before the go to bed.
oh yeah when they pee I would always make a big deal out of it and I would do the same thing when they would poop. I say they because I had my sister’s pup as well we thought it would be a good idea as they learn from each other.
