get a thing so when they do a good thing. You press it, it clicks. Then they realize a click is a treat. Worked for me!
Stay consistent on all the above.
We put my 9 month old puppy in the small (meaning not alot of room, but enough for them to turn a circle and stretch) kennel at night and when we leave. She wont go to the bathroom in there, and it keeps her from tearing up things as well.
GOOD LUCK!!
Ignore it when it does something you dont want it to do, only give it attention or food when its completely calm.
The best thing to do is consistancey every time it does something right reward it and scold it when it doesent do something right.
Only advice, is never use a bark coller… yes they work… but that just fixes a symptom…. when really you need to fix the root problem… which with puppies…. the root cause is ussually cuz they feel like it
for biting you bite their ear, house training every time he or she pees on something Scold her or him Barking has one simple trick fill a water gun up with vinager and every time they bark constantly shoot a little bit at them be careful for their eyes or you can get a citronella collar fill it up with citronellea and every time the sensor feels the barking vibrations it will give them a small ****** of citronella.
star firm! puppies know how cute they are and they try to use that against you but jut make sure he knows you’re the one in charge. don’t be mean and don’t hit just be really firm on the rules.
with biting curl his lips in on his own teeth and press just slightly when he bites, if he knows it hurts he will stop.
the best thing to do is build confidence in himself and his confidence that you are going to take care of him and keep him safe.
hmm bitting, just tap them on the nose, tell it no and put it in a cage for about 2 minutes… also give them plenty of chew toys. there is also a spray you can spray on things that gives the puppy a nasty taste in their mouths when they go to chew on it…
house training- take it out once ever 2 hours. and about 30 minutes or an hour after it eats and drinks, after you have feed the puppy, put the food and water up, that lhelps with accidents. when they use the potty on the floor, make them smell it, swat themon the **** and imediatly take the puppy out side… hope i helped!
ohhh use snacks when they use the potty outside, always reward them when they do good :]
Take an old rag to clean up the first *** mess and put it out in the yard where you want the pup to go. Put on all your warm clothes and take the pup out and let them smell the rag. Dogs are territorial so they get the idea from smelling the rag. Hi and overexagerated praise when they do what they’re supposed to.
A firm no goes a long way to preventing the biting and the barking, but you gotta teach them no. They won’t learn it right away, but be patient and consistent. Never ***** or swat. Praising and scolding only.
Search for Casear Milans show and website for great dog training info and perspective on how a dog thinks. Here’s the link:
Here are a couple of sites to visit, and an article on potty training
Lots of info. in both places!
If you don’t already have one, you should get a training CRATE. Get one large enough so that the puppy doesn’t feel all cooped up. You should put the puppy in the crate at night to sleep. Most dogs don’t like to **** where they sleep and they’ll learn to hold it until you let them out. If they whine in the middle of the night, you need to get up and let them out…but not if they’ve already just went potty outside. Sometimes you just have to let them cry and whine until they fall asleep…kinda like a baby.
The crate worked wonders for us. After having our puppy for only one week and using the crate, he was completely potty-trained at age 9 weeks old. Although, our breed is known for learning it fast. Every dog varies and some are going to be more stubborn. BUT I guarantee your puppy will be house-broken much faster with the crate than without.
We use Bitter Apple spray, found at PetSmart, etc…to spray at him if he is trying to bite us or jump on us when not playing. It helps keep him at bay. Puppies will always like to bite things until they quit teething, so be patient.
Take them outside at the same times every day. When asking if they need to go outside use the same words in the same tone of voice. Also, when they come back in give them a little treat and tell them how good they are.
Use LOTS of treats! ie, when puppy goes outside, give her a treat then. Every 2 hours, take puppy outside!
Keep puppy in a crate when you’re not around because they’ll be more likely to have accidents when they know you’re not there!
Spray Fooey on things puppy can’t chew…shoes, ect. My neighbor gave it to me, and it works. Terribly bitter, clear liquid that tastes bad. It sprays on whatever you want to keep puppy from chewing on.
And the more pooped puppy is, the less puppy will chew. Make sure puppy gets lots of running around time outside! I throw mine outside when she starts nipping at everything, cause she has energy to burn (I have a fenced in yard, though).
I think you might get some tips below.
Read about the breed to understand the temperament of the dog and what is normal and what appears to be anything but.
Train by reward not by pain or shouting.
Find out by trial and error what treat your dog loves the most and use it to encourage them to behave.
Use the dogs personality to understand the moods they have. Dogs are like children, so treat them as such.
i have a one year old border collie, he trained really well, i just made sure he had plenty of toys to keep him amused. teething puppy toys, teddies, balls, squeakers. if bored they will chew.
as for house training, if he needed to go he walked in a circle and sniffed at floor before so was able to get him outside before he did it. always reward when he does it in correct place, if does it in the house just tell him no in a stern voice and put were he shoild be doing it.
