Train Dog To Use Indoor Dog Litter Boxes
Puppy Potty Bathroom
HELP! HOw do i get my puppy to go the bathroom outside?
I have a 7 month old puggle puppy who refuses to go potty outside. She has her spot in the house that she like to do her business in and I cant seem to break her of this?
Spray the green apple stuff where she goes in the house to try to get her to stop going there. There are a few other things you can do to get her to go outside.
First, every hour or so, take her outside and put her down in the exact same spot. Give her a treat when she goes there.
Some people will use Puppy Pads or newspaper and slowly move them towards the door but that has never worked for me.
At night and while you're away, put her in a crate. It will break your heart at first and you'll feel awful but it is better for both of you in the long run. Dogs don't like to go where they sleep so being in the crate helps train them to hold it a little longer. Even after she's housebroken, keep the crate out. Most dogs that are crate trained consider it to be their "room" and they'll sleep in there voluntarily and go there when they're scared.
I've also never found the "rubbing their nose in it" tactic to be very useful. I've always had better luck with positive reinforcement.

Who can resist the adorable gaze of an eight week old little puppy? They can give you such a cute stare with their little neck tilted to the side and tiny eyebrows looking at you with an excited gaze. But they also use your house as a huge permanent bathroom.
Training your puppy increases your joy of having a dog, and makes the relationship with your dog much stronger. An untrained dog is an invitation for disaster. It doesn't matter if its a four pound Toy Poodle or a 100 pound German Shepard, a dog who doesn't listen is always in danger.
Here is what to expect each day:
6 to 14 weeks old: 8 to 10 bathroom breaks
14 to 20 weeks old:6 to 8 bathroom breaks
20 to 30 weeks old: 4 to 6 bathroom breaks
30 weeks to a year: 3 to 4 bathroom breaks
CRATE TRAINING
Crate training works on the principle that puppies are instinctively clean animals. I recommend a crate large enough to shelter your full-size dog, and simply partition it off, moving the divider as the pup grows.At all times, the crate should be just large enough to allow the puppy to stand comfortably, turn around. and lie down. Otherwise, he just might go to the rear of the crate and do his business there.
A DAILY ROUTINE
You must make a schedule and stick to it . It doesn't matter what your schedule is, your puppy will adapt to it as long as it is the same time EVERY day. For example: 9 to 9:30 A.M. take the puppy from the crate and immediatly outside, always to the same spot. Bring him in and feed him.Twenty to thirty minutes later, take him back outside.
Make sure to give your puppy both quality time and crate time before you rush off to work. By noon you will want to repeat this routine of food, outside time, and crate time, then again at 5 or 6 P.M.
And of course let your little friend outside before 11 P.M. and you retire for the evening. And don't forget to get up at 3:00 A.M., thats right - three o'clock . This is important only for the first few weeks due to a tiny blatter.
A CATCHPHRASE
Each time you take your puppy out of the crate , repeat a catchphrase such as "Want go poddy?" Use the same door everytime you take your puppy outside. After just a few weeks stop carring your little dog and say "Want to go poddy?" He will make the connection, and run out the door.
SIX STEPS TO REMEMBER
1. Outside toilet time is no fun. Keep this very serious business (distiguish playing time with toilet time).
2. Don't blame your dog. Remember they are only animals.
3. Use only one command. Then reinforce. (NO! SIT?)
4. A training collar will help you guide your dog and "check" your dog if needed.
5. Teach "STAY" ( for his protection).
6. Understanding your puppy and knowing what he needs both physically and emotionally will help a great deal.
