• If you see a puppy walking indoors, stop this activity immediately. Blocking orders like "Get out!" Don't yell or scold when using the command. Point out a command to stop the puppy from messing around.
• Pick up the puppy and take it to a special place outside. If your dog is pooping in the right place, praise and / or treat him with food. Make sure you use the same spot each time you go out. Wearing a leash when taking your dog outside is a good way to keep them in a fixed area.

Know your bladder's natural limitations. Your puppy's age affects how well you are trained to use the toilet and how much time you can extend between reps. Those moments of foolishness should not be equated as a sign that they are difficult to say. See them as children learning to control bladder. Some general guidelines are as follows:

• The ages of 8 to 16 weeks are considered the primary integration period for puppies. At this point, the puppy can only hold urine for about 2 hours. This is also the best time to start toilet training.
• At 16 weeks of age, puppies can usually extend the time between defecation up to four hours. Before this age, the bladder can hold for about 2 hours before the puppy is forced to go to the toilet.
• From 4 to 6 months of age, a puppy can be considered "half" successfully trained due to its susceptibility to distraction. They often want to get around, which means chasing the beetle can prevent them from going to the toilet when you take the puppy to the designated spot. At this point, a four-month-old puppy can delay four to five hours before needing to be “cleared,” while a six-month-old puppy can be six to seven hours long.
• By the time puppies are 6-12 months old, sexual development can cause males to lift their legs and poop on furniture, while females can go into heat. The bladder can endure seven to eight hours before needing to go to the toilet.
• From 12 to 24 months, your puppy may not fully develop depending on the breed. Hopefully you have pooched your puppies before this age, but if you haven't, you can still teach them even when they're an adult. Although not impossible, toilet training for bad habit adult dogs usually requires more effort and patience when you do it "right away" from a young age.

Prepare a cage or "crib". Just like humans, puppies do not want to defecate near the eating and resting areas. Training your dog to use a cage is an effective way to help your puppy learn to control her bowel movements. The cage also helps provide safety. While you are nearby, open the cage door to let the dog in and out when needed. Put toys, snacks, and mattresses in the cage. The cage is a place of joy, not a place of punishment.

• Some dogs may want to go straight into the cage, while others need to adjust to the cage slowly.
• At some point in the puppy's life they will be in the cage. Clinic visits, travel, and personal hygiene all require a dog to be locked in a cage. It is better to let the puppies get used to the cage as a child.
• Puppies under 6 months of age should not stay in the cage for more than 3 to 4 hours regardless of toilet control. Dogs of this age need more interaction. If you have to go to work all day, ask someone to take the puppy out to the bathroom.
• When you get home after keeping your dog in the cage, you can take the dog out immediately and prevent it from defecating in the house.

Create a meal schedule. Following a meal schedule can make your efforts more successful. Puppies that are allowed to eat whenever they want will make training more difficult. Also, getting the dog out at the allotted time makes this process easier. Always take your dog outside for 15 to 20 minutes after eating.

Start toilet training immediately. Once the puppies are accustomed to the new environment, give them water and immediately lead them to a predetermined location.

Note the sign. Puppies may begin to understand that they need to “release” the outdoors before learning to tell you when they need to go. Watch for clear signs that the puppy is urinating. Observe behavior: barking or scratching at doors leading out, squatting, restlessness, and sniffing or spinning. If you notice any of these behaviors, especially if you haven't been taking your dog for a long time, then it is time for the puppy to poop.

Praise your puppy as soon as they go to the toilet. In order for your puppy to associate the compliment with the action, praise him as soon as he finishes before entering the house.

• Praise your puppies after they are done with their work and do not interfere with using the restroom. Some puppies are so sensitive that they may stop going to the toilet if you praise them too soon. They may even assume you just want them to squat for a reward. The timing of a compliment is important in coaching.
• Remember that freedom is also a reward. Play with your puppy after they go to the toilet. You don't want your puppy to think that the fun stops as soon as the "release" is over. Keep it fun so that the pet will deal with the sadness quickly and then start playing.

Reinforce the right behavior, without scolding or punishment. Whenever you take the dog out at a certain time, if the dog is going to the toilet within 3-5 minutes, praise him and take him to the enclosure around the cage to let the pet free. If the puppies do not go to the toilet within 3-5 minutes, put them in the cage and close the door. Keep the puppy in the cage for 15-20 minutes and keep an eye on them. After the waiting time, take the dog outside again, if they go to the toilet, they will be free to play in the larger area. If not, they have to re-enter the cage.

• Your puppy will groan instead of going into the cage, so if you pay attention, you can promote appropriate behavior by rewarding gifts and freedom if the dog shows the correct behavior.

Recommend everyone to join. If you live alone with a dog, this step will be easy. If your puppy lives with two or more people, make sure everyone is taking the same steps to make toilet training quick and easy. The more people follow the plan, the faster the training process progresses.

Clean up your puppy's water early in the evening. About 2.5 hours before bedtime, keep the puppy's water bowl away. This will ensure that the last time your puppy goes to the bathroom before going to bed will help him stay stable throughout the night. Most puppies can sleep for about seven hours without going to the toilet, so if you clear the bowl before going to bed, the puppies won't have to "relieve" many times during the night.

• If your dog wakes you up during the night because of the need to go to the toilet, shorten the time and focus on the main thing. If you turn on too many lights or play a lot, your pet will assume it's time to play and may begin to think that they are allowed to wake you up for fun instead of just going to the bathroom. Just take the puppies outside and then bring them back to sleep.

Wipe off dirt immediately and thoroughly. You can wipe and spray disinfectant on wooden floors and tiles. For carpets, you will need a carpet cleaner.This is the most important step because dogs have a very sensitive sense of smell. If the puppies can still smell the urine or feces, they will continue to defecate in this position. This is why it's a good idea to leash your dog indoors for a few months before giving them freedom to walk.

• Many people buy industrial cleaners at supermarkets. Most products contain ammonia. The smell of ammonia resembles that of a dog's urine. So if your puppy walks on the carpet and you wipe it off with a product containing ammonia, he or she will return to this position and assume another dog has defecated on the carpet. Your pet will continue to poke in the same place to cover up the smell.
• The industrial pet waste cleaner contains a special enzyme that removes the smell of urine and prevents puppies from returning to the toilet in the same place. You can buy them at pet stores, on the internet, veterinary clinics, and discount department stores. This is the product deodorant most effective instead of just masking the smell.
• Some people claim that distilled white vinegar and water will work just fine if taken with baking soda.

Part 3 of 3: Combining free time

1. 

   Don't be surprised by the "back to the ground" status. Puppies can roam again in the house once you are sure they are trained. This happens for a variety of reasons, such as sexual maturity, changing habits, curiosity defeating the need to go to the toilet in the usual time, etc. Returning to consistent habits. that you use to pooch your puppy. They will quickly start over again in this habit.

2. 

   Install small doors for pets. A dog door will be suitable if your home has a fence (one where the puppies cannot get under or jump over) and the gate. Even if the house has a fence, you should also look out for wild animals around the house that can eat puppies, such as grassland wolves, etc.
   • Do not leave your puppy unattended outside for long periods of time.

3. 

   
   
   Spread newspaper for your dog to use. If you don't have a backyard, a dog door, or someone who comes to take your dog out while you're away from home, you can still use paper training to let your puppy go to the toilet in a designated indoor spot. This is just a back-up plan when the puppy needs to “clear up” and cannot wait for you to get home. Spread newspaper or prepare a small, easy-to-use box for your pet. Since the puppy will want to go to the toilet where it smelled of urine or feces in the past, you can put a rag of their waste in the box.
   • Some people think that spreading newspaper makes the puppies think they are allowed to defecate in the house. So they do not use newspaper and remove dirt. All dog owners should start from one point. If this means waste removal, then it is for the dog and your family for the best.
   • Using newspaper can cause a bit of a delay during training, but if you slowly reduce the area of ​​the newspaper spread and clear waste completely in the designated area, you will still be successful. You just need to narrow the captive space for the puppies to explore the house.

4. 

   
   
   Get someone to take care of your pet. If you are away, ask someone to take care of the dog. If you live with family or friends, ask them to look after the puppies. If the whole family is away, you can ask someone who knows about puppies to come and take care of them. Tell the other person about the schedule, where to sleep, what foods to and not to feed the puppies, etc. You can also find a dog shelter while you are away.
   • Remember that if the puppy is “forced” to defecate in the facility according to the care facility's schedule, you will need to repeat the training. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages that you need to consider to suit your situation.

Advice

• When petting your dog outside, move it to only one position. This will define the position as the "toilet seat", and the training will progress much faster.
• Always reward good behavior with praise and affection. Ignore bad behavior as much as you can. Your puppy will learn that good behavior helps him stay closer to you and will make an effort to do it.
• In the early stages, the rewards help ensure that the puppy learns the correct behavior. Once the behavior has stabilized, you can discard the reward while praising the dog for the correct behavior. This way the dog will not act just for food.
• If your dog is barking constantly at first, try not to encourage him or her with a lot of attention. You can move the cage to the side of the bed, and turn on the soft music radio for background sound. Put your puppy's favorite toy in the cage to distract them.
• Bear in mind that the first nights are a time of significant adjustment for you and your puppy. You have more puppies in the house, so don't expect you both to get a good night's sleep in the first place.
• Don't be angry with your puppy. Be sure to take your dog out often and treat your new friend well, and sooner or later he'll master the toilet skills!
• Each time you go out, take the puppy out from the same door.
• If your puppy still doesn't understand the lesson, be patient! Don't scold your pet for not obeying, continue with steps, and don't beat her. (Beating makes them aggressive towards you and others, as well as harmful and abusive behavior.)
• Start training puppies with the reward by asking them to sit down at the same time in the treat, and when the puppy obeys commands, give them the reward. In addition, the switch is also a useful tool.
• Do not hit the puppies and persevere with them and the training process.

Warning

• Bear in mind that your puppy will adapt to your schedule. So even during the day off, get up and take the puppy out at the same time as usual. Dogs are animals that follow a strict schedule.
• If you choose to train your puppies to use a cage, you should be humane. You can learn how to train your dog to use a cage.
