house training tips for a westie puppy?
So im getting a westie puppy on december 1st, she is only 8 weeks old, but i move into my new house in January. Any tips on house to get her house training at least started before we move?
I have a Westie dog who was a puppy just two years ago. This is what we did...
-We bought a bell that hung low to the ground (within his reach). We hung it by the door he would be using to go outdoors. When we were leaving the house to go on a walk, etc., we would go by that door and ring the bell in front of him each time. Eventually, he let us know when he needed to "go" by ringing the bell - he just pushed it with his nose. Now, even at 2 years old, he still does!
-Each time he had an accident in the house, we tried not to scold him. Dogs don't understand punishment. If you catch her in the act of going to the washroom indoors, pick her up (even in the middle of a pee!) and take her outdoors. If you discover a mess that has already been made, just clean it up. It's too late. Scolding her will only confuse her and make her afraid of you. Praise her if she finishes her business outdoors. Each time my dog 'went' outdoors, we would praise him. That's a simple way to let them know what is 'right' and 'wrong'. Reward him! Treats and playing with her toys with her are two great ways.
-Get your pup a crate. If you're going to be leaving the house a lot this is a great idea so that they don't soil your house or ruin any furniture. Plus, it's like their own 'space' - which most dogs enjoy. Most dogs also don't want to soil their beds because they have to lie on it. Furnish the crate with a soft dog bed and a few toys for entertainment. Drape a towel over the top so they feel more protected.
Westies are a great breed - enjoy!
XOXO,
Laurie

Retriever Puppy Training (Paperback) $16.55 This book is directed to owners of retriever puppies in their first year, but the program is equally effective with young retrievers starting beyond that age. It gives your retriever the necessary disciplines and skills he will need to become a reliable hunting companion. The authors assume that most puppies grow up as house pets, and so throughout the program lessons that every companion dog needs to learn are also stressed. Puppies learn best with step-by-step progression, so using this program as a guide, you will have a retriever that can go on to be successful in whatever field you choose competitive or non-competitive. The authors cover how to work with your puppy`s unique personality, correlate lessons to the pup`s mental and physical development, train with lessons that are progressive, thorough, and uncomplicated, and most of all, effective! Retriever Puppy Training, The Right Start to Hunting has been a favorite with people starting out with their first retriever puppy or those who want to raise a hunting companion from puppyhood. However, experienced retriever handlers and those planning to trial or hunt test with their dogs will also find it very helpful. |

Bichon Puppy House Training
To begin the Bichon puppy house training process with your new puppy, you need to first determine a suitable place outside your house where he can relieve himself. Once you have found that place, give your Bichon puppy a little tour around to let him get acquainted with the new area.
The next step is to restrict his freedom inside the house. Your Bichon puppy is less inclined to relieve himself near his sleeping quarters. By restricting him to certain areas in your house, he will be more likely to hold himself. However, do not make him wait too long. Even if your Bichon puppy is physically strong, he still has very weak control over his bladder and bowel movements.
If you do not find the time to take him outside often enough, and whenever he needs to go, then you leave him with no other choice but to relieve himself on your carpet. Once you notice that he needs to use the bathroom, then you need to take him outside immediately and stay with him until he has finished relieving himself. As soon as he is finished doing his deed, remember to reward him with praise and plenty of treats to let him know how pleased you are.
Bichon Puppy House Training: Do not expect more from your Bichon puppy than he is physically able to do. A good rule of thumb to keep in mind when house training your Bichon puppy is that he can hold his bowels for as many hours as his age in months. For example, a three-month old puppy can hold it in for about three hours.
There is however, a limit to this rule. It is sensible not to expect your twelve-month old puppy to hold his bladder or bowel movements for twelve hours. If he is forced to stay inside the house for longer than you can reasonably expect him to hold it in, you are causing an accident to happen. At the same time, you are teaching your puppy to go in the wrong place. Installing a doggy door is a very effective way to house train your Bichon puppy. Once he gets the idea and becomes familiar with where he needs to go, he will usually let himself out to do his deed while you are gone.
Bichon Puppy House Training: When he relieves himself inside the house, he labels that area as his bathroom and will likely to go there again. If your Bichon puppy does have an accident in your house, clean and deodorize the area thoroughly and then block his access to that area. If you catch him in the act, say "no" in a firm voice and rush him outside. Punishing him for relieving inside your house will not help him learn any faster and in fact can hinder progress.
