How To Stop Your Puppy Toileting Inside

There are a few secrets to toilet training although much of the emphasis will always rest with you! Here are the facts about puppy toilet training:

Just as when a baby needs to go toilet they go, so it is with puppies - when a puppy needs to go they will go! So to start with you have to get them outside before they toilet inside. That is your job! If you fail, then blame yourself.

The best way to show your puppy where you want them to the toilet is to show them the correct place. The best way to do this is to take them out when they need to go and then praise them when they go. You will be amazed how quickly they will learn if you give them an amazing treat for going to the right place. Think of it like this if the treat is a little piece of cheese, your puppy will after only a few toilets in the correct place start looking for the cheese treat saying ?Hey where?s the cheese I just toileted on the grass!?

At a very young age 8 weeks or so a puppy's bladder is very small and it can only hold on for sometimes 30 minutes or so before it may need to go again. So you must be vigilant.

After a meal, puppies will often need to go within 60 seconds so always take them straight outside. You should also take them outside as soon as they wake up, as their bowls will start to move and also the last thing at night.

Associate a word that everyone in the house sticks to such as ?go toilets? this way your puppy will start to hear the word and know what it means.

If your puppy does not go then be aware that they may still need to relieve themselves soon and restrict their movement to a smaller area that is easy to clean until they are taken outside and definitely toilet.

You should never rub a puppy?s nose in it to teach it a lesson. A puppy?s nose is 1000 times more sensitive than a human's and this will never teach them not to do it again. They will simply not know what they did wrong and do it out of sight the next time such as behind the couch!

There are lots more tips and tricks that you will assist you but these are the real basics. Take a look at The Online Dog Trainer for more fantastic advice about how to stop any puppy issue by watching videos. CLICK HERE:

My Dog Doesn?t Come When I Call

One of the most common complaints is ?my dog doesn?t come when I call?.

Training the recall is one of the funniest of all dog-training exercises because we do so much completely wrong! Let me explain.

This is what we want to achieve: When we call our dog ?here Bella? we want Bella to come sprinting as fast as she can to us.

Now, in order to achieve this, we must make ?here Bella? the best command in the world. With the best result and rewards at the end!

So here are some tips!

Never call your dog if you are thinking of telling her off! You can undo months and months of hard work training your dog to come by telling her off just once. Suddenly coming when you call could be a really bad move!

9 times out of 10 make sure that your dog has a good experience when she comes if you call you. On the 10th recall if you need to put your dog on a leash then do so.

When you call your dog you think of coming as more of a ?check-in with me? than an ?I am calling you to stop what you are doing?.

Use a long line to keep control of your dog if you are unsure. A long line is a piece of line or rope that can be as long as you like that lies on the ground but you keep within reach!

If your dog hates returning to the car then reward your dog back at the car with water and a small feed and things will soon turn around!

The basic formula for any good recall training is:

CALL your dog to you, then

REWARD your dog within 2 seconds and then immediately

RELEASE your dog.

In order to make your dog enjoy the experience, you should learn the power of using affection and attention by withholding it and only giving it as a reward. This is one of the most powerful tools available to us and yet we get it all so wrong by giving the dogs attention whenever they want and wondering why they don?t come when we call them!
