If your little dog has a potty accident, your best course of action is to clean the mess up and don’t shout at him. – TRUE
Punishing or scolding your puppy won’t help him learn the bathroom basics. That’s because he won’t remember that he’s the cause of the little puddle or pile that’s got you to upset. Clean up with no comment and promise to your puppy that you’ll keep a closer eye on your house trainee.
You can spend less of your money if you buy your puppy an adult-sized crate for him; no matter what his size is (if the crate is all you’re gonna buy.) – FALSE
A crate that’s too big for him will encourage your puppy to sleep at one end and eliminate in the other. Still, getting a crate for each stage of his growth can be expensive. To prevent in-crate accidents and to save your money, choose an adult-sized metal crate that comes with a divider. The divider will keep your puppy from using the entire crate and can be adjusted as he grows.
Crates are cruel and doesn’t facilitate in the house training. – FALSE
A properly used crate isn’t cruel at all and makes the house training process much easier. Crates appeal to puppies’ instinctive desire to get a snug, secure den to call their own. Your puppies’ desire to refrain from dirtying the den will help him develop the physical control he needs to become a dependably house trained.
Puppy house training should begin as soon as you bring him home. – TRUE
A puppy of any age can start learning proper potty protocol. Teach him to enjoy his crate. Feed him and take him out at regular intervals. Watch her carefully whenever she’s out of her crate. That said, he possibly will not be full house trained until she’s six months old or beyond.
Your dog will always tell you when she needs a trip to the outdoor potty. – TRUE
If only this were true… Most dogs take awhile to figure out how to tell their people that they need a bathroom break; and some dogs never learn how to get such a massage across to their people. But even if your dog doesn’t come and tell you she needs to do the doo, you can watch him for signals that a bathroom event may be imminent. Intense sniffing, pacing, and circling all may indicate that your pet download is coming.
Club soda can be an effective stuff to clean up your dog’s bathroom accidents. – FALSE
Club soda may get rid of the stain from a little puddle or pile, but it won’t get rid of the odor. Unless you remove the odor with enzymatic cleaner designed especially for this task, your dog almost definitely return to the scene of his crime and performs an encore. Don’t use ammonia, either; to your dog, it will smell like urine, which is an open invitation for your dog to come back to the spot he anointed before and do it again.
A dog rolls over his back and dribbles urine needs remedial house training. – FALSE
A dog pees while he is on his back does not have house training issues. Instead, he’s extremely polite and/or a little bit scared. This type of behavior is called submissive urination, and it occurs when a dog is showing respect or deference to another dog or person. If your dog greets you in this manner, adjust your body language to be a little less authoritative – ignore him for a minute or two when you first come home, don’t look directly at him and crouch down on the floor so that you’re at his level when you touch him.
You can consider your five-to-six-month-old puppy be house trained if he has not had an accident for four weeks or so. -TRUE
House training takes a while, but you can consider the process complete if you take your dog puppy is at least six months of age and has been free of accidents for at least a month. Younger ones do not have the physical capacity to hold their poop and pee dependably and a dog of any age that keeps getting accidents really can’t be considered fully house trained.
A puppy should be able to hold it for the same number of hours as months in his age, plus one. In other words, a two-month-old puppy should be able to refrain from eliminating for three hours. – FALSE
The old rule about a young puppy being able to hold his fire for the same number of hours as months in his age plus one does not square with reality. Some puppies may be able to follow his rule, but all of them won’t. A puppy younger than three months may need hourly bathroom breaks during the day, at least until he gets the hang of what he is not supposed to do in his crate and what he is supposed to do outside. Once your puppy is older than three months of age, you may be able to taper off the potty breaks a little bit, and by four months of age, she hopefully will be able to hold it for the night.
Dogs pee and poop just to spite their owners. – FALSE
Dogs are vengeful creatures. They eliminate in the house for one of these reasons: they may be sick, they’ve had to wait too long for the bathroom break; or their owners haven’t house trained them properly.
