How to housetrain a puppy in 6 easy steps
One of the first steps to forming a lasting bond with your puppy is learning how to housetrain him. You can also teach your puppy that chewing on or peeing anywhere is unacceptable.
Your puppy and your family will benefit from learning how to housetrain a puppy. You and your puppy will be well-behaved and will benefit from you being able to maintain hygiene and sanitation in the house.
1. Understanding Puppy Behavior
Your puppy doesn't know the difference between right and wrong. You are the one who will help him learn. Your puppy may not be aware that urinating on the floor is dangerous, but he does know that he must urinate.
When he begins to urinate, take him to the spot where he can do his business. Repeat this process until he realizes where his business should be conducted.
2. Establish A Feeding Schedule
Dogs are pack animals and have a deep understanding of routine and rules. They will look up to you as the leader of their pack when they need to know what to do.
A feeding schedule will make housetraining easier and more effective. Put simply, puppies that eat according to schedule will eat according to schedule.
Do not feed your puppy anything he doesn't like. This is a way of spoiling him, and it is more difficult to housetrain a puppy who is spoiled. After you have fed your puppy, make it a habit of taking him outside every fifteen to twenty minutes.
3. Understanding a Puppy's Digestive System
Puppy digestive systems are smaller than ours. You should start feeding your puppy once every 5 to 8 weeks. After that, he will be able to eat two times per day.
Give your puppy some time to digest his meal. Don't let him play within one hour of eating. This can cause stomach upsets. Knowing when your puppy excretes is an important part of understanding his digestion. This puppy elimination guide will help you to housetrain a puppy.
A) 6 weeks. Elimination is every hour.
b) 2 Months - The puppy has bladder control for 2 to 3 hours.
c) 3 Months - Every 4 Hours
d) From 4 Months onwards: 5 Hours
Young dogs can sleep all night with no peeing after 3 months.
4. Purchase a Crate
A crate can be a great tool for teaching a puppy how to housetrain him. It will also allow you to keep him safe when you are away from the house. It's also a great tool for teaching your puppy hygiene, as most puppies won't go to their sleeping areas.
Make sure your crate is large enough for your child to be able to sit, stand, stretch, and sleep in. You can always cut off a portion of the crate if it is too large, but you will gradually increase the space as your child grows.
5. Socialization and getting used to the environment
When housetraining a puppy, it is important to include all family members including your children. He needs to socialize with you and your family. You should be cautious not to overdo it as puppies can become very sensitive to new situations, smells, foods, and other people.
By letting your neighbors see the puppy, you can introduce your puppy all age groups. You can also introduce your puppy to other pets and dogs in your home, but only under your supervision.
You can get your puppy used to his surroundings and make it easier for you to take him everywhere. You can take your dog to a car, or take him to a busy street corner to ride an elevator.
6. Positive Reinforcement
You must catch your puppy in the act, and then stop him with stern words. You can find voice commands you can use to housetrain your puppy. Be consistent.
This is an important part of house training your dog. It will help reinforce positive behavior. Positive reinforcement is the practice of rewarding good behavior with praises, affection, and treats.
