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.

How do you train a great dane not to lean on you?

The reason i ask is because i am 5 months pregnant and i don't want it knocking my kid over someday?? We have always heard that danes are a leaning kind of a dog and to them its just a social thing? I don't mind it now but i think my kid will someday?

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:

How big should a great dane’s dog house be?

My husband is planning on building our dog a dog house for outside. We have great dane mix puppy only about 5 months old, he's far from being full grown so i'm not sure what his full grown measurements will be. How big should an average great danes dog house be? we've looked at a few designs and we want to build one with a door on the front left side and inside it has a little half wall kind of thing so he can go to the right side and be blocked from the wind and rain and everything else. any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Rescue Member - STOP JUDGING... anywhere in my question did i say i lock him outside all the time? No i did not. I love my dog and he is a great companion. did it ever occur to you that when i do put him outside on occasion, that i would like him to feel just as loved as if he was inside with me? have you ever had so much company that you want your dog outside so he doesn't bother them? i don't want to just put him out in my back yard, this house is for him to be in when he just can't be inside with me! Thank you for all your help!

How big can I expect my female doberman to get?

I had a lot of experience with large breed dogs but I have a 14 month old female black and tan doberman. She is getting to the age where I expect her to be fairly well full grown, but she seems to be getting taller. Am I imagining things or is it possible that she's still growing? I can see her filling out a bit more - she's still fairly slender, even for a doberman, but I'm wondering if she's going to get taller. Last time we were at the vet (5 months ago) she weighed just over 60 pounds, and has grown to about 70-75 pounds now. She's the first of her breed I've owned. She's an incredible dog! She's taller than our dalmatian by a good 4 inches, but she seems smaller than many dobermans I've seen.
