Housebreaking tips for puppies

Housebreaking tips for puppies

So your kids finally convinced you to adopt a small puppy, or just felt like you need some company. Puppy housebreaking can be a great fun.

The best housebreaking tips for puppies I can give you are:

Family business. Don't be the only one in the family who's taking care of the puppy. Growing a new puppy should be a family task.

Coordination. all family is synchronized on the same training methods. Coordinate your reactions to the puppy behavior and even commanding words.  it's important not to confuse the young puppy as he's on a new learning curve.

Care. Do not neglect your puppy and give him enough attention.

Borders. Restrict your puppy to a small room in the house until he's trained. Make sure you take care of all his needs, food, water, and a crane.

Educate. If you don't catch your puppy doing it, then don't punish him for it! Educate by praising him when he does in a proper place and don't forget to provide him such one, it can be a crane or in a later stage outside. Use an enthusiastic tone. With repetition, your puppy will associate the correct behavior with the reward.

Odor. Puppies tend to eliminate in the same spot again and again because they sense the smell. Deodorize the spot so he will stop recognize it.

Feeding. The feeding regime you use can help or disrupt housebreaking. Soon as your puppy grows, you'll find out that your puppy-dog need to go out after he wakes up in the morning and after food. Do not skip it if you like your living room clean.  It's also very important for your puppy to acquire such habits since dogs are habit animals.

Housebreaking puppies can be great fun. One of the most important housebreaking tips for puppies that I can give you is that you be very patient. never lose your temper or even get excited. Remember you are on a training process.

Great Dane puppy training question?

My Great Dane puppy Thor is 4 months old. Very healthy, happy and for the most part as well behaved as you can reasonably expect a baby to be.

He is growing fast and is now tall enough to stick his head in the trash can. He has started digging through the trash and tearing it up.

I try to keep an eye on him, but it is impossible to watch him every second. He is crate trained, so he does not wander around the house at night or when I am not home.

I have bought a can of stuff that is supposed to be a harmless dog repellant and sprayed it all over the outside of the trash can, including the lid. It does not seem to bother him or slow him down at all.

He is otherwise a sweet natured and well behaved puppy. I am training him to sit and stay and walk on a leash, those I can do with treats and praise. I understand how to teach what I want him to do; however I am at a loss when it comes to teaching him what I do not want him to do.

Thank you in advance for your help.

training a great dane puppy?

I am thinking about getting a great dane puppy, he is 4 months old. I want to train him as well as I can when he is young, everything from general obedience, to taking walks, and being housetrained. I'm also worried that since it is a boy he will lift his leg and pee in the house? How can I prevent this?

I heard that if a male dog is neutered before a certain age this will prevent them from lifting their leg when they are urinating.. true? If so what age?

Thanks.

German shepherds names

German shepherds names

Picking a name for your German shepherd can be a very complicated task. I remember when I got my first German shepherd I spent days looking for the right name. I went through forums on the internet, went to blogs and dogs sites, I asked all of my friends and in the end I came up with a list of the best German shepherds names and then I sat down and erased the names that weren’t good enough. In the end I was left with 12 names and I asked all the members of my family to pick the best 3, I counted the votes but it still came down to 3 names that I had to choose from and then I just threw a dice and came up with Zeus.

With the years I understood that the dog makes the name as much as the name makes the dog and I am very happy that I chose Zeus. So for all of you still searching for the right German shepherd name here is my list that I started with and I hope you'll find it useful. I think it can go for any large breed dogs:

What is the best food to feed my English Mastiff puppy?

I have been doing a lot of research on what to feed my english mastiff puppy. I am hoping for suggestions from others with mastiffs or giant breeds.

I would really appreciate some advice on this issue! Thanks!

How do I teach my pomeranian to fetch?

I want my pomeranian to learn how to fetch like all large breed dogs, so that he will be active, and loose some energy. I know pomeranians aren't drived to fetch, so is there a way to teach them? How did you teach your dog?? He is only 4 months old, but he is smart, and already knows how to sit, stay, lay down, and come!

Thanks
I also want to teach my puppy to leave it, and drop it? Any ideas?
