It may take a few months to focus on teaching your puppies how to do these things. Use gentle but determined training to guide your puppy through the exercises to learn, and before you know it, the puppy has become a mature, obedient dog with a key position in it. your family.

Steps

Method 1 of 5: Train your puppy at home

1. 

   Build a routine for your puppy. To start training your puppy at home, build a habit in which it will learn. Puppies need to learn a consistent habit of when and where they are allowed to poop. It is important that you teach your puppies to go out to clean when the need arises as soon as you take them home. Make a plan to take your puppy out to the toilet on a daily basis: what to do first in the morning, after eating, after playing, and just before bed.
   • Puppies need to be taken out to deal with their sadness once an hour, as well as right after eating, sleeping and playing. Regularly use the bathroom when you first wake up in the morning and before you and they go to bed at night, as well as before you leave them alone for longer.
   • Feed your puppy at the same time every day, so you can figure out when he or she wants to go to the bathroom.
   • Newborn dogs usually go to the toilet once an hour. That means you or a family member needs to be there to take them to the toilet regularly.
   • If you can't train puppies at home during the day, you'll need to hire a professional to do it. If you don't do it early, your dog will take a long time to learn not to mess around.

2. 

   
   
   Get the puppy's attention when trying to poop indoors. If you find them getting ready to go home, don't overreact, like yelling or scaring them. Please interrupt their actions by clapping your hands. Then take them away or take them with you to their toilet. After the puppy is finished using the bathroom, reward and encourage them.
   • If you find that the puppies have made a yard behind the sofa or somewhere in the house, it is too late to punish them. Don't stick their noses in there; This only confuses and frightens them, not understanding what you are trying to teach them.

3. 

   
   
   Limit the puppy's space indoors while training. During the first few months, you'll need to keep a close eye on your puppies so you can take them out to deal with your grief when needed. If you let them get too free in the house in the first place, they'll learn to go to the bathroom wherever they want, and you can't always know it in time.
   • Use baby stoppers to limit your puppy's space in the house. For example, you can use a barrier at the end of the stairs to prevent the puppies from wandering upstairs or block the door to prevent them from moving between rooms. Give the puppies more freedom when they control their ability to poop.
   • Try taking the puppies away as they explore the new room. They will hardly cause a problem with you.

4. 

   
   
   Choose a place outside of the house where the puppies can poop. This will help them learn not to mess around. They will have the need to go out there for the toilet or over time they will learn to wait until you take them there instead of going to the bathroom in the house.
   • Use words to help your puppy get used to where to go to the bathroom. Say "pee / pee" or "pee / pee" when you take them there. Do not use this word in other places other than the toilet.
   • Many people choose to use a remote corner of the yard or a fenced-in area as a place for the dog's restroom. If you don't have a yard, choose a spot near your home or apartment. In short, wherever you go as long as you still take your dog to the toilet every time.
   • Use the toilet in a place that associates the smell of waste with pooping. This characteristic scent often makes it easier for puppies to walk.
   • Remember that some puppies will poop as soon as you take them outside, while others may need to be running around for a while to walk.

5. 

   Praise your puppy for completing the task. When the puppies go to the toilet in the right place, praise, petting, and reward. Doing so will help the puppy understand the correct behavior and should move on. Promising your puppy will encourage your puppy to do the same behavior again.
   • Give the puppy a treat right after going to the toilet or still in the toilet seat. If you hesitate, they associate the compliment with something else.
   • Wait until the puppy is finished using the toilet. If you praise them when they first start using the bathroom, they can be confused.

6. 

   Clean up waste dumps immediately. Once in a while if your dog misses out on home it is important to remove them immediately. This will prevent the dog from going home.
   • Use an enzyme cleaner instead of an ammonia-based cleaner to clear your puppies' dumps as soon as they leave. Ammonia-based cleaners have a urine-like smell that confuses puppies with their urine smell. If the puppy smells like urine, the puppy may want to poop there again.

7. 

   Consider using a crate to train your puppies. A cage can be used for toilet training because dogs do not like messing around in their shelter. A cage can be a safe place for your dog to rest during the day if tired or where they can feel safe when you are not at home.
   • Make sure the crate is large enough for the puppy to stand comfortably on its feet. If the cage is too large, they can choose a corner as a toilet area.
   • Remember not to use the cage as a punishment. Take your dog outside often to run or go to the bathroom.

Method 2 of 5: Teach your puppy to play obediently

1. 

   Let the puppies play with the other puppies. Puppies can learn to communicate by playing with other dogs. Young puppies that do not know their teeth can hurt other dogs. They can be learned by playing together; when a dog bites another dog too hard, the dog will yell and stop playing. In this way, the puppy learns to control the degree of the bite.

2. 

   Don't encourage your puppy to bite you. Play with dogs the way they play; tickle and grapple with your puppy until it starts to grab your hand. When they bite your hand, yell in the same way as another puppy does. Relax your hand and stop playing. Your dog will learn that when they bite, they will go unnoticed.
   • Your puppy will probably try to make up for it by rubbing your muzzle and licking your hand. Reward them with affection, reward them and keep playing. Puppies will learn that good play is rewarded.
   • Never spank a puppy as punishment. Using physical punishment on your puppies will only scare you away.

3. 

   Give your dog toys to chew on. Puppies love to use their teeth and you have taught them not to bite. So give them a safe toy to chew on while playing.
   • When your puppy begins to lightly bite your hand, tuck the toy in his mouth. This will teach them to gnaw at a toy instead of nibbling your hand.
   • Do the same if the puppy lightly bites your heel or ankle while you are walking. Stop and give a toy to chew on. If you don't have a toy with you, stop. When your puppies are good at playing, praise them.
   • If your puppy nibbles on you, distract it and replace it with a toy.

4. 

   Penalty applied. If the puppies have trouble learning not to bite, you need a penalty spot, where if you don't play well, they won't be able to play. Pick a corner of the puppy's playroom and take them to that corner as soon as they bite.
   • Do not use the kennel as a punishment area. Puppies will not be able to associate feeding with punishment.
   • After the puppies have been paused for a few minutes, bring them back to play with the family. Reward them if they play well. If your puppy bites again, yell and lead him back to the penalty spot. They will learn not to bite.

   Pippa Elliott, licensed veterinarian said: The 'Look' command is an effective tool to help calm the hyperactive dogs or distract them from something they shouldn't be chasing. You just need to bring the junk food close to their nose and slowly pull the dish toward your forehead and still draw the puppy's attention to the dish. "

5. 

   Teach your puppies to play well with children. Children often move fast, make loud noises, and are about as tall as a puppy. The two can have fun together but need to be taught how to play properly. If your puppies play rough with your child, give them a penalty right away. You also need to make sure your child knows how to play properly.
   • Keep an eye on your baby when you are with your puppy. Make sure your baby knows a puppy is vulnerable and teaches him how to handle it if the puppy bites or plays harshly.

Method 3 of 5: Teach your puppy to sit, lie down, and approach

1. 

   Start by teaching your puppies their names. In order to effectively train puppies, make sure they know their name. Read their names clearly. When they look at you, reward them. Continue to do so until they know they need to look at you when you call your name. Now use the puppy's name before giving any other commands.

2. 

   Teach your puppy to sit. This is one of the easiest behaviors to learn, most puppies can learn. The trick is to have your puppy relate to the act of sitting on the floor with the sound you say "sit". Tell your puppy to "sit" in a clear, assertive, but friendly voice. When the puppies sit, reward them.
   • Regular practice. Practice sitting indoors, in the yard or wherever you take your puppy. Bring your reward with you so you can start a training session at any time.
   • Gradually reduce the number of rewards until the puppy can sit on commands without the reward.

3. 

   Teach your puppy to lie down. Now that the puppies can sit, teach them to lie down. The process is a bit more complicated, using the same command and reward system. Have the dog sit down and when they do, say "lie down" and wait a few seconds. When the puppy moves, tell the puppy to "sit", and then repeat again. When your puppy does it successfully, reward it and praise it.
   • After the puppy has learned to lie down for 10 seconds, move away. If your puppy comes with you, come back and tell him to "sit down". Tell the puppy to lie down and go away again. Remember to reward them for doing it right.
   • Some puppies respond well to commands "lie down" with their hands.Raise your hand each time you say "lie down". Gradually the puppy will be able to lie down without hearing a command.

4. 

   Teach your puppy to get close. This is easiest when working with another person. Have someone carry the puppy to the other end of the room or yard. Look at the puppies and name them. When the puppy looks at you, say "come here" in a clear voice and let the friend let go of the puppy. Call your puppy's name again if he doesn't seem to know what to do. As your puppy walks toward you, reward him with praise and food. Repeat this process until the puppy understands that "come here" means they have to run towards you.
   • Clap your hands, smile, and enjoy it when the puppy does a command to get close to you. Teaching them to get close to you is the best they can do.
   • Practice the "come here" command often in a variety of situations. It is important that your puppies get close to you when you call so they don't get lost or hurt in dangerous situations.

Method 4 of 5: Teach your puppy to let you walk

1. 

   Let the puppy play until tired before taking it away. Puppies tend to pull on the leash because they have excess energy and expect to get out. If possible, tire your puppies out by playing with them before the day's walking leash.
   • Try playing with the puppy for 10 minutes before using the leash.

2. 

   Teach your puppy to stay still when you put the rope around your neck. Puppies are often agitated when it is time to go outside to play, jump on their owner and bark before going outside. This problem can last for many years if you do not resolve it as a child.
   • If the puppy barks and jumps on you while you pull the rope, wait for it to calm down before you put the rope on the neck. Do this over and over until the puppy learns how to behave otherwise he won't be able to go out.

3. 

   Use the green or red light method. Take the puppy out. When they run forward and pull on the rope, stop. Wait for them to turn around and say "come here", when the puppy comes next to you, give the command "sit down". Reward them with food and keep going. Repeat this process until the puppy learns to walk beside you instead of pulling on the rope.
   • When the puppies are with you, reward them often so they know where you want them to go.
   • Continue using this method for a few weeks. It may take some time before your dog understands that he cannot drag you on the street.

Method 5 of 5: Grasp the basics of puppy training

1. 

   Identify word suggestions for training and remember them. Make sure all family members use those words when training puppies. If you use words that are different from everyone in the house, the puppy can get confused and learn longer.
   • For example, teach your dog to sit down. Tell everyone to use the word "sit". Don't change orders. In other words, don't say "sit down" or "lie down" to tell your puppy to sit. Use only one word that suggests "sit", otherwise your dog will be confused.

2. 

   Apply this rule in all cases. Make sure you follow the rules you set out in all cases. Don't be half-hearted or change it in certain cases.
   • For example, if you don't want the puppy to jump on your belongings, follow this rule at all times. If you don't allow them to jump on furniture during the week but allow them to sit on the sofa on weekends, the puppy will sit on the chair more often.

3. 

   Give your puppy some motivation. Training is successful when the correct action is rewarded. You can reward your puppy with attractive food, play with his favorite toy, or notice and praise him. Find out what makes your puppy happy and use it as a reward for obedience.
   • Reward your puppy immediately. It is important that you reward your puppy as soon as he or she has followed your command.
   • Gradually reduce the number of bonuses until the puppy will not be rewarded for each action. This will teach your puppies to work harder, because it's not natural to get a reward each time. If not, they will become lazy. Start reducing the number of rewards you give when the puppy regularly performs the action.

4. 

   Use a clicker (a clicker makes a click). Clickers are an effective way to reinforce your puppy's good behavior and let them know they will be rewarded. It's important to reward your puppy's good behavior as soon as he or she has done it, but that's not always the case. Therefore, using clickers during training sessions will help you reinforce your puppy's good behavior even when you don't have a treat to reward it.
   • Start teaching your puppy to associate the clicker sound with the reward.

5. 

   Understand that punishment is not an effective method of training. Swallowing a puppy or using punishment is not a good way to change your puppy's behavior. They won't understand why they get punished and that could lead to worse behavior.
   • For example, if your puppies pee on the floor, don't scold them. If you do, they will just think you are angry because they are messing around instead of understanding that they are defecating in the wrong place.
   • Instead of yelling at your puppy if you catch him using the toilet in the house, clap your hands to get the puppy's attention and stop. Then, take them to the designated toilet seat and wait for them to finish their grief.

6. 

   Conduct short but regular training sessions. Puppies cannot concentrate for long, so training sessions should be short. You should limit your puppy's training session to 5 - 10 minutes. Try to do 2-3 sessions a day to reinforce the behavior you want your puppy to learn.
   • Make sure you use regular activities as opportunities to train your puppy. For example, you can ask your puppy to sit down before putting down his food, or praise him for going to the toilet in the correct place in the yard.

7. 

   Choose a good name and a bad name for dogs: Make sure your dog associates his name with the good. As such, they will respond to your request more often. If your dog associates his name with a bad thing (like being scolded), he or she will hesitate to approach you when called. Using a proper name when a dog is bad will help you avoid teaching your puppy to have negative associations with a good name.
   • Use a dog's common name when he is good, but use a different name when he is bad. For example, if your dog's name is Charlie, call Charlie when he's good. If bad, call them Chuckie.

Advice

• Maintain consistent rules and limits in all cases. If the puppies are not allowed on the sofa, it means they will never be allowed on the sofa. Show what you want to say, motivate your puppy to follow commands (food, rewards), and be determined and fair. Your puppy will feel confident and know exactly what to expect from you.
• Use your tone to let your puppy know how you feel. Use a low voice when you want your puppy to stop, assertive when training or giving commands.
• Don't worry if your dog doesn't obey the first few times (maybe more).

Warning

• Do not use violence against your dog. Be careful of coaches who advise you to hit or yell at dogs.
• Do not let children play with dogs unattended.
