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.

I have a 16 week old maltese shih tzu my problem is I have been toilet training him for 3 weeks now to no avail I take him outside after meals and every hr or so when I do he is not very interested most of the times he just wants to play outside and eat the grass and whatever twigs are out there. I can be out there for ever sometimes. But when I give up and bring him inside he goes and does it inside. It is so frustrating. My home is open living and it is quite difficult to keep him in one spot although I try and keep an eye on him he is so fast. At night he is quite good take him outside about 10 and he will hold till 6 in the morning. I know this cause at 3am I get up all he wants to do is sleep so I put him back in his crate. Do not know what to do please can anybody help me.
My puppy used to do exactly the same thing.
When she weed or pooed in the house, we would show her what she had done and call her a bad girl (you must do this straightaway otherwise they will not know why they are getting told off).
We would then put her outside in the back garden and shut the door on her until we had cleaned up the mess.
Yes she would whine and cry at the door but it is teaching her not to do it in the house and if she does then she goes outside so therefore it’s like ‘right, i get put out here when i do it in the house so that must mean that i do it out here’.
Seriously it took us just less than three weeks for us to train her and she is perfectly fine now and she when she does need the toilet now she touches the keys with her nose (we leave the keys in the back door) so that we can hear that she wants to go outside.
Hope i helped.x.

We have two young dogs - 8 months & 1 year. They are both house trained bar a few infrequent accidents but we recently moved into a house (before we lived in a flat/condo) and if they get upstairs they toilet on the beds, carpets etc. We block off the stairs so they can’t get up there but a couple of times they have managed to knock open the gate and got up there. Why are they doing this and how can we stop them?
Sorry - to clarify they do not go to toilet inside downstairs, only in the garden or on walks but will do it within minutes of getting upstairs into the bedrooms.
Dogs will try really hard not to eliminate within what they consider to be their ‘den’ area. Basically their home. It seems as though your dogs are confused about the extra space in your new house.
If they only had one level before, they considered that their ‘den’ and have carried that belief over to the new home. Of course, the upstairs is new territory to them and so far they don’t seem to consider it the same way. Dogs are very much creatures of habit and they thrive on familiarity and routine, they need to adjust to this new environment.
For now I would just make sure that they can’t get upstairs unsupervised. It’s okay to go with them, and be ready to correct them the minute they look as though they want to squat or whatever. Take them outside immediately to reinforce the correct habit. I expect with time that they will realize that everywhere indoors is ‘out of bounds’ for elimination purposes. Just be patient and consistent with them.
Best of luck.

We have just brought a 9 week old Cocker Spaniel and would like some practical advice on how to toilet train him . We have read lots of books but would like as much practical advice as possible.
All tips would be gratefully accepted.
Take the dog out every hour, esp after drinking, eating, playing and napping.
Ignore the mistakes made inside and praise for the good outside.
limit water and food intake. remove all food at around 6-7pm stop water intake at around 8-9pm about an hour and a half - 2hours before bed time.
If you’re going to crate train and its time to take puppy out but he’s whining. Leave it until puppy stops, you dont want to teach it whining = being let out.

My dog is a 3 year old Maltese and I adopted him 6 months ago. He was previously abused and I suspect he has separation anxiety. I am hoping that I do not have to tie/crate him up whenever I leave the house.
I meant he pee in spots within the house. I’ve tried all solution cleaners already. He only pees when I leave the house.
I have 3 dogs 2 which were rescued,i had to crate them for the same reason.If they have separation anxiety it will become there space which they will feel safe in when your not around,i also found that they often took themselves to sit in it even though the door was open and i was around.They did stop using the house as a toilet…good luck!

My partner and I have recently adopted a little beagle puppy who is now 9 weeks old. I take him outside about every 2 hours to go the toilet, and if he does I give him a little liver treat. However he still manages to sneak a few inside even though he has constant access to the outside. I know persistance is the key when toilet training puppies but I was just wondering if any one had some good tips to help the process along….
PS - I don’t use a crate or a small kennel as I see that as cruel. My puppy sleeps in a largish room at night (same place every night) and goes there to sleep from time to time every day. He has full run of the house and our large backyard.
Put the puppy in a kennel at night and when you are not home. The kennel should be only large enough for him to stand up and turn around. Too large, and they will go in the far corner and actually, dogs prefer places just big enough for them and can actually get claustrophobic if the kennel is too large for them.
Dogs usually won’t relieve themselves inside their properly sized kennel, so they hold it until you take them out. Take him outside as soon as you take him out of the kennel, and he will learn very quickly that outside is where we "go".
P.S. I used to think they were "cruel" also. There is nothing cruel about them, unless you lock them in it all the time.
Our dogs love their kennels, as they are their "private safe place". It is their’s, and they feel safer, similar to the way a fox feels in a small den, safe from predators. During the daytime and when we are home, we leave the cage door open all the time, and they go in it by themselves when they want to nap.
