You may have heard that puppy toilet training is a difficult process because some puppies can be very stubborn. Indeed house training can be a very challenging task especially if you do not have enough understanding on what puppy house training is all about or what methods or techniques are effective in achieving positive training results.
To make puppy toilet training easy, you might find the following toilet training tips useful:
Understand your puppy’s need to eliminate
Start training as soon as you bring your puppy home. Know that a puppy needs to eliminate about six times a day and cannot “hold it” until he is about 12 weeks of age. Thus he must be taken outside after he eats or drinks and frequently throughout the day (at least every two hours).
Regular schedule
Putting a puppy in a regular feeding schedule makes house training easier. Feed your pup two to three times at the same time everyday so that he’ll develop a habit of eliminating at consistent times.
Pick a bathroom
Take your pup to the same spot every time he urinates/defecates. This will make him associate the spot with the deed. In case of accident, clean the spot as soon as possible to prevent him from urinating/defecating in that area again. Leave the soiled rags in the bathroom spot because the scent will make him recognize where he is supposed to eliminate.
Praise
Praise your dog when he eliminates outside. You can even give him a treat for a job well done but remember to do this right after he has finished eliminating.
With patience, along with the mentioned puppy toilet training tips, you will definitely come up with a reliably house trained four-legged friend.

The dogs are housebroken, and Cooper is learning what that means. Hopefully he’ll soon do more that just sit on his little potty. (A little crass, but still cute.)
Bruiser peed and Cooper watched it slowly disappear into the earth.

Oh, what’s that? Mhooki is squatting? Let’s get a closer look! What is she doing?
Now for the recap. Who did what, Cooper?

I have had a puppy for 2 weeks (now 10 weeks). I was really pleased that following the best advice I had read; that the puppy was very quickly going to the back door and crying if he wanted to go out and do something.
2 weeks later and he continues to do a poo outside but has started weeing in the house, almost everytime. I put him outside first thing every morning then leave the door open for the next 20 minutes, but he seems to come in the house and insist on weeing on the floor. I make sure that I disinfect and deodorise the entire area where he has been but he still does it, to the extent that he now refuses to wee in the garden. This morning alone, despite a stern telling off whilst he was in the middle of peeing on the living room floor (and he knew that he was in trouble), he did it another 2 times within 30 minutes!
Any ideas why he might be starting to do this? He still gets praise when he does something outside and I give him a treat but it doesn't seem to be having the right effect. I've even tried standing outside with him for up to 20 minutes to make sure he has a wee then praising him and going back inside, but again he makes sure that he forces at least a little bit out on the floor.
Thanks
hiya, boy dogs are terrible for peeing every where,and even tho they are clean, they will still pee indoors,and anyone else house you go into.they mark there ground.with my dog,when he went back to peeing in the house,i bought the pee pads from tesco's, they are £4-99 for 14 pads.leave one my the back door always,and when he goes on it give him a treat,and prise him up.i gave my pup a crab stick,he loves it,but only gets one when he as pee on the mat.we have know put the pee pad out side the back door,he can smell the scent on it,and scratches the door to go out,sometimes he barks.and then he gets his crab stick. if the door is open,and he goes and uses the pee pad,whiles im in the other room,he comes up and jumps around me,to tell me he has been on the pee pad,he only lets me know so he gets a cram stick.im moving the pee pad to the middle of the garden tomorrow,then if he goes on that for a week.i will get rid of it all the time,as he still will come into me,when he has been for a pee to get his crab stick.try it,can't hurt.

Is there any natural attractants that I could just buy from the supermarket instead, if so what are they?
I have been training my puppy she has been really awesome just sometimes she doesn't quite get it and I think it has to do with other people who live in my house telling her off when I'm not there.
Why waste your money?
All house training takes is time and consistency; no magic potions required.

I have a 7 week old puppy, (west highland terrier/pekingese cross). Ok, My question is on toilet training. His brilliant of a night goes on puppy pee pad, once, if that. If I take him outside he pees on the grass and poops. But…… he will still just pee inside on the floor. I take him outside often so its not like I'm not getting to him quick enough. Sometimes his been outside and either peed or not and the comes straight back in and pees on the floor. Should I use puppy pads of a day indoors until he learns to hold it until we get outside or will this confuse the heck out of him (thinkin its ok to pee indoors). I can leave him indoors on his own, gated off with pee pad when I do sch run and he goes on pad. So basically he goes on pee pad of a night, goes outside when I take him but pees on floor too! His really good and has had no poo accidents………. yet! (none indoors) Also his sussed if he whines at the back door I will let him out, a sign he wants a wee I hear you say, but no! His sussed if he whines I let him out and he can go play, not wee ha ha So theres another hard one If I ignore him he may pee on floor having told me he needed it or if I let him out everytime I will be doing it every 5 minutes! I know puppies are hard work and I have to put the effort in but thats takin the pee if you excuse the punn! I know when I take him in garden to let him sniff n pee before playing with him, basically he knows he can pee outside but forgets he shouldn't indoors and like I said sometimes he can pee outside then come straight inside and do another! God I never knew something so small could pee so much! Any answers would be much apprietiated, Should I carry on as we are with accidents or introduce daytime pee pad. When he starts pee-ing indoors I clap and grab him and take him straight outside even if his finished, with lots of praise if he goes outside. Sorry if this is very long winded but want to cover everything I've done in case anyone suggests it! Thanxs in advance.
Should I stop using the puppy pads through the night and for short trips out. Will he learn to hold it more without them, in other words are the puppy pads encouraging him to go indoors? So many questions! lol.
Hey. You got a terrier….you must be thrilled! lol
Let me tell you, learning to pee and poop where you're supposed to is a REALLY big deal, and I struggled as a young thing. I really did. He is still quite young to. Give it a few more weeks and just keep doing what you're doing.
Also, ditch the puppy pads. My human never used them, you dont need to either. Its just giving us one more thing to think about and making the peeing indoors more acceptable. Which its not. So try and encourage 'no pee in the house at all if you can really help it'!
I sound like a great owner…..good luck.

I have a fourteen month old jack russell, I have tried many things to toilet train him, newspaper in the kitchen and slowly reaching the back door, not putting water down after a certain time of day, three walks a day. No matter what I do he still cocks his leg and pees wherever he wants. I have a german shephard and these techniques worked on him, I know that this does not mean that it would work on another dog (as it did not :-), but does anyone else have any ideas on what I can do, it is getting worse not any better.
Its no good putting stuff on the floor; you have to show him where you want him to go, take him there, wait til he goes then reward him for going there. You teach him where you DO want him to go. Positive reinforcement for wanted behaviour.
Make a dog loo in the yard, mark it out with bricks so he can see it. Confine him indoors and on the hour take him out on the lead and wait with him til he needs to go, then reward him.
He is scent marking indoors because you have 2 males, even neutering may not get him out of the habit now.

Although there are so many different ways to potty train a puppy. It is very difficult to find one that suit your pup’s need and fits your life style.
This method is like making a better larger crate with a bathroom in it (I call it the potty room) so that they don’t go all over the place in the house or even in the crate (when the puppy is too small, they can’t hold it for too long).
This method is proven to be very simple for any pups to understand. It even works for older, untrained, multiples, or hyper pups (It also works for busy owners and family with children who likes to keep the house urine free).
*Before you bring your new dog home, do the following:
- Get a panels gate that can be resize to your liking (in my video, I use a small animal crate from all living things, available in Petsmart for $41)
- Choose a specific area for them to go potty (indoor for smaller dog/ outdoor for bigger dog) & pick a less traffic area. This area will be permanent, they will always go to that same area, so choose the area carefully.
- Use the panels gate and make a room with potty pads in one side and bed,water, food, toys on the other.
(Don’t forget to put the opening of your gate on the bed side, NOT on the pads to avoid mess. Because your dog will come and greet you at the opening)
- Then watch your dog potty/ poop times for a day (how soon after meal/ after nap, what’s the time in between potty times, how many times a day he/ she poop, etc) .
- Write the potty schedule (so you don’t forget) and you BOTH must be able follow the schedule. Because they are just learning, they can’t go in the designated area on their own, yet.
- At the beginning you have to ask your dog to go according to the schedule you’ve made (pick one word for it, for example “go potty”), then let your dog in the gated area and close the gate.
- When they did go potty , let them out soon.
- Instant Praise and Treat for everytime they did go. Try to not open the gate until they did.
- Repeat the word (example “go potty”) several times if pup doesn’t go, then leave them alone/ leave the room.
- Come back to check (don’t stare)
Do not yell/ hit, this is not a punishment/ time out room.
-Repeat steps according to potty schedule and eventually they will go in and out without being asked (and on demands).
-Once they can go in and out by them self, you can remove the gate. ( they still will have that gate in their mind), and they will go there by themselves.
I let the dog sleep in the crate at night until he/ she is potty trained. Thye love their own room.
* Remember my method will work for sure, but it can not be compromised.
If the new owner is NOT as committed (and keep on forgetting to let them in, forgot to open the door to let them out, have no daily schedule, no gates no boundary, etc) some pups will never be potty trained forever. It’s not because they can not do it nor because they are bad pups, but because they don’t get enough help and they become very confuse of what they should do.
It’s never just the dog’s fault. You have to be responsible dog’s owner and commit 100% to help your dog learn this important skill.
* Select the area carefully for indoor potty training (for smaller to medium dogs), because they will permanently potty on that same area.
For medium large to large dog, outdoor is recommended. For outdoor, you can use this method, but move the gate outside, to which area you prefer them to go.
Same steps, and after they go back to the same gated area constantly, you can remove the gate. And
Now you will a cleaner back yard.
Easy!
I wish you and your pup the best !
You are welcome to send me a message anytime, if you have any questions about potty training.
