u can buy special training pads which have a special smell which attracts the puppy...praise it when he goes on the pads..this way it wiill know it is right nd will gradually learn.. u can buy them at most pet shops

Answer 2

they sell "training pads" at some stores.

but in general what i did was just reward my dog when she did it right.  Letting my dog know it was good.  

Answer 3

It isn't easy to train a puppy to be housebroken just know that it takes alot of time and patience but it can be done....start on paper training him and when he does go outside go to the same place he used the bathroom the 1st time and he will understand that outside area is he does his business but since he is a toy he cannot hold it very long so paper training him is also important....good luck...and remember patience patience patience it can take months.

Answer 4

Here are some tips, use what helps.

I break it down and store it.  I put blankets and a small food and water dish in the crate.  Dogs don't potty where they eat and sleep.  When they are first little, I only expect them to hold their potty for 4 hours, and then 6 hours, then 8 hours and so on.  So when they are first little, I set a timer or alarm clock to wake myself up at night to take them *out.  I only allow my puppy in the bedroom* or the living room, only one room at a time.  They have to graduate to more space.  If I allow them to have full run of the house, it will overwhelm them.  I take them out the same door each time.  I tie a dinner bell to the door handle.  Do not use a jingle bell as they could get their toe caught in it.  So when they are little, I ring the bell for them, and then open the door to go *outside to potty.  When they get bigger, I take their paw and whack the bell and open the door to go potty.  Eventually getting to the place where the puppy will ring the bell and let me know when they need to go potty.  Dogs want to please you, so it is your job to let them know what behaviors please you and what doesn't.  So when my puppy goes potty, I give her a treat*, and clap, and make a fuss and praise her.  So she learns that going potty outside makes me happy.  If she has an accident, make a disgust sound like “tsst”  and take her out right away.  I never yell* or spank* my puppies.  Take them out when they first wake up, after they eat or drink, before nap, finish romping, when their activities change, or when they are sniffing around. Some puppies go pee right away, but may not go p**p until 10 minutes later, so wait for the p**p.  I have a little play time here, because sometimes I think they are done, and they are not.  Puppies train at their own pace.  While I may have a puppy that hasn't had an accident in several weeks, I don't let my guard down.  I don't expect my puppies to be "fully potty trained" until one-year-old.  If they have a setback, shake it off, and start over.  I only have my puppies in the crate when I am not watching them.  When I am sleeping, cooking, ironing, doing chores, basically when I am not watching her.  All other times, she is out of the crate practicing being a "big girl."  This is the time I train her how to behave in the house.  So we are practicing "no barking", 'no biting", "no jumping", and "don't eat the furniture."  I also have to practice "playing inside" so she doesn't knock over things.  You must keep the puppy in sight when they are little because they don’t know the difference between newspaper and carpet, and you don’t want them sneaking off and getting into trouble.   Some puppies can sleep through the night around 3-months-old, but their bladder is grown around 6-months-old.



REVISIONS:



*I use a crate to train with.  It is the method I prefer, compared to other methods I have tried.  I noticed that if they are in the crate, while I am doing chores, they are o.k., because the crate allows them to see me and be re-assured.  The crate can also be a comfort when stored in the basement for dogs who live in areas where thunderstorms and tornados are an issue. .  However, use the method that works best for you.....a laundry basket, a cardboard box, a woof-woof house, x-pen, child gates, whatever works for you.



*Outside, pee pad, litter box, whichever method you are using.   When the puppy is first little, keep the pee pad, litter box near the food and water dish, so the puppy can eat and drink, and then go potty.  You can move it away as they get older.  The pee pad has a scent that smells and initiates potty.  Sometimes a pee pad makes a sound that scares some puppies, so you might want to use a litter box if that happens.  The pee pad allows a puppy to walk around, but a litter box keeps the puppy in one place.

*Bedrooms, I use the bedroom and living room for training, because it works for me.  Choose rooms that work for you, but watch for rooms that are damp, or drafty.  While my puppies sleep in the bedroom during training, once they are trained, I let them sleep where they want to.  They don't have to sleep in the bedroom forever.

*Treats.  While I use treats for training, you don't have to.  I like Charlee Bears for training (a little cracker for a little mouth,) I use them for training, but once they are trained, I cut back on them.



*Some puppies will go potty in the same spot each time.  Some puppies have to be told to go potty.  A command like "go out" for pee, or "go finish" for p**p, might work for you, keep saying “go finish” until the puppy poops.  This is a good thing to train if you travel with your dogs.  By using commands, the puppy won't get confused when you are visiting someone, on vacation with you, or when you get to a new home.  The command will tell them what you want them to do in an unfamiliar place.  You might also want to use a leash method, so the puppy doesn’t sneak off, or for strange places.

*Yelling.  It is not a good idea to "yell" or "spank" your puppy and then take them outside when they have an accident.  They may get confused and think that going outside is punishment.  While you want to correct them, if you are extreme, they may not want to go outside again.  Shake it off, and resume your schedule.  You have to keep it real.  Puppies train at their own pace,  but a puppy can only hold their potty for a few hours.  A guide would be 1 hour for each month of age, plus 1 hour, so a three-month-old puppy should only be expected to hold their potty for 4 hours at most.

Answer 5

Well At your local walmart or pet-smart, or any other pet store, there are puppy training pads, and if you have a dog crate. (or if you don't then you can buy one at a pet store, there like $50.00 more or less, depends on the size, but since your dog is a toy poodle it wont be much.) You can put a puppy pad in the crate and put your puppy in it it should learn eventually, Put it in there with food and water, if you go to work or leave the house just put it in there with a toy and food n water and it should be fine. I'm a shih-tzu puppy breeder and have been for 7 years, and it work perfect for me, it takes about 3 weeks or less depends on the puppy's, if its a quick learner on not, if it pees or poops anywhere besides the paper then scold it lightly, and it should learn, If he does make a mistake like that then also pick it up and spray it with disinfectant spray so the dog wont smell it again. I Hope it works out for you,

Answer 6

One of the most important things you can do is to take your dog out MANY times a day (if you want it to learn to go outside only). When the dog has an accident, don't scold or yell. Clean it up and save a bit of soiled toweling or whatever, and put it outside where you want the puppy to go. Then take it there when you go out so it can smell the scent. We used newspaper on the floor, in the beginning, and took pieces of soiled paper outside. Please be patient. It takes a few weeks for the dog to mature to the point where it can "wait" to go outside. Many people confine the dog to a small area or crate when they can't be there to supervise. Just take the dog outside immediately after letting out of that area.  

Answer 7

When the dog sniffs around take it on a leesh to where you want it to p**p or pee. IF it poops or pee's in that spot give it a treat. Keep doing this for a while and when the dog finally has to go p**p or pee and does it without the leesh give it 2 or 3 treats. IF the dog poops or pees in the wrong spot. When you find it, Spray this cleaner on it (i forgot what it is) but it smeels really foul to dogs becus they have a sensitive nose. GRab the dog by its collar and make it sniff where it went to the bathroom (after u sprayed it of course). Sooner or later when your dog is doing really well and not pooping at all where you dont want it to give him more treats and a belly rub when its in the right place. And when they do p**p in the right place (leesh or no leesh) say, "Good Girl" or "Good boy" (depending on the dog) in a really high cute voice like when you talk to babies.

Answer 9

When I trained my mini doxie I put a puppy pad by the back door. Every half hour( and after meals and naps) I took her to it . Sometimes she went and sometimes she didn't. And yes expect accidents. That's how they learn. If you see her peeing pick her up and take her to the pad. Her making mistakes will eventually lead to her success.

Good luck and remember rubbing a dogs nose in pee or p**p is pointless. They eat that stuff and it will confuse them...

Answer 10

Start by keeping him in small places.  Dogs naturally do not go where they eat, sleep, and live.  You will probably notice that the puppy will try a sneak off or go to a room that is rarely used.  When you are around keep him close or in a closed room.  When away a smaller room, laundry, bathroom, or crate is best.  

Take him out frequently.  Puppy's must go every few hours.  Even though dogs don't like going where they eat, sleep, and live, when they have to go, they have to go.  If he goes in his crate or a small confined area it is your fault for not taking him out.  

If he starts grab him up and take him out.  I took mine to the bushes if he even shows signs of going, now he prefers to go in bushes.  This is the best training because it is straight forward.  

Give him treats immediately after he does it right.  This is positive reinforcement.

When your dog knows where to go then you can punish him for going where he knows better.  Catching him in the act or soon there after is best.  If it has been a while he may not understand why he is being punished. Show the dog the mess and say "BAD DOG" or "What's This".  Don't rub its nose in it, but get close.  He will not like it.  Some times I give my lab a smack, but mostly the yelling is enough to scare him.

Remember, Consistency is the most important thing when training a dog.  The more consistent you are the faster the dog will learn.  Believe me it is worth the extra effort. Good luck.
