Practical Potty Training For Puppies (1): The Secret Is In The Schedule

Mark and Sandra Richardson just adopted a 5-month-old black Golden Retriever puppy from the local rescue group. The group informed Mark and his wife that the dog was already housetrained. But the couple quickly learned otherwise.

“When we drove up to our house, my wife took the dog directly to the backyard to relieve himself,” Mark says, “He sniffed around, urinated a little and then wanted to play, so my wife brought him in the house. Within 5 minutes he had urinated again and before we could get him back outside, he pooped!”

Although many puppy owners have difficulties teaching housetraining skills, it really doesn't have to be a difficult process. Housetraining is the process by which you teach your dog to eliminate when you want it to and where you want to – and to refrain from eliminating at any other time or place.

Sounds simple? Actually, it can be, and it is – so long as you stick with the tried and true basics of approach. Housetraining does not have to be frustrating or overwhelming.

Start With A Schedule

Dogs are creatures of habit and a schedule will help your puppy develop good housetraining skills much more quickly. You can establish a schedule that takes your own needs into account as long as you realize that almost all puppies and older dogs will need to relieve themselves when they first wake up after a night's sleep or a nap, after they eat or drink, and after playtime.

An 8 to 12 week-old puppy may need to go outside when first waking up in the morning, after eating breakfast, after playing at mid-morning, then again at about noon. If the puppy naps, it will have to go out when it wakes up, then again at mid-afternoon. A schedule like this should continue all day.

As the puppy grows and matures, it will develop more bowel and bladder control, and you can increase the length of the intervals between trips outside. However, increase this time between potty trips gradually. You want to set your dog up for success (no accidents), not failure.

By 8 to 9 months of age, a dog that has been housetrained using a consistent, realistic schedule will need to go outside first thing in the morning, at noon, later in the afternoon, after dinner and before bedtime.

However, keep in mind that all dogs, no matter what their age, have their own unique needs. Some will have to go outside more often; others will be able to hold it longer. During the housetraining process, you'll need to learn your own dog's particular needs, strengths, and weaknesses.

BONUS : Practical Potty Training For Puppies (2): Why A Dog Crate Makes Housetraining Easy

All dogs are born with the instinct to keep their beds clean and as soon as their legs are strong enough to support them, puppies will toddle away from their littermates to relieve themselves. Before that, momma dog stimulated the puppies to relieve themselves and cleaned up after them.

Using a crate as a training tool takes advantage of the puppy's instinct to keep its bed clean, and helps the puppy develop bowel and bladder control because the pup will make an effort to hold it when he's all relaxed in his cozy den.

Several types of crates are available for puppy owners. Some, like the soft-sided fabric carriers, are strictly for traveling. However, the plastic or wire crates can be used both for traveling and for housetraining. Plastic crates have a wire door and are usually made of two pieces – a top and a bottom that fastens together with bolts. Wire crates look more like a cage and are open all around.

The kind of crate to use is a personal preference. Plastic crates provide more security for the puppy; open wire crates allow more air flow. Wire crates often fold up for storage and make a compact (although heavy) bundle, whereas the plastic ones are quite bulky, but lightweight. Weigh the pros and cons of each and choose the crate that will fit your lifestyle and puppy best.

Choose a crate that is big enough for your pup but not big enough for an adult-sized dog. Make sure your puppy has enough room to lie down, get comfortable and move around, but no more. If the crate is too big, your puppy will be able to relieve himself in a back corner and still have enough space to get away from it.

Remember, the purpose of the crate is to capitalize on your dog's instinct to keep its bed clean. If you already have a crate, and it's big enough for a full-grown standard sized breed, use a piece of cardboard or a thin plank of wood to section it off so that your puppy doesn't have access to the entire crate.

Introducing your pup to the crate is not difficult. Simply open the crate door, propping it open so it won't swing closed accidentally, then toss a treat or toy inside. Encourage your dog to go get the treat or toy with a personalized command, which you'll want to continue using.

For instance, say, “Sweetie, go to bed!” When the dog goes inside, praise “Good Dog!” Do this several times throughout the day. At feeding time, place your dog's food bowl inside the crate so that it must enter the crate to eat. After two or three days of this routine, begin closing the door behind your pup as it's eating and open the door when he is done.

Once your dog is comfortable staying in a closed crate, you can begin using it at night. Place the crate in your bedroom so the dog can hear you, smell you, and to close to you all night. This is eight hours of closeness you couldn't find time for any other way. With your dog close to you, you can also hear it should it become restless and need to go outside.
