Dec 13, House Training Your Puppy Day 1, House training dogs

Below is a list of things you must do during the first day of the house training:

Puppy Training

Below is a list of things you must avoid during the first day of the house training:

Avoid feeding too much.
Avoid letting your puppy walk to elimination spot.
Avoid changing location of crate, feeding and elimination spot.
Avoid puppy from getting free access to dog bowl all the time, especially water bowl.

You are about to begin the day 1 of the house training dogs session. Remember that your puppy is in the acquisition stage, she will take some time to understand you. Below is the suggested timeline for the first day.


7:00 AM If you are getting the puppy from the breeder, you need to prepare crate in your car. If you prefer to carry the puppy on your lap, make sure that you have towel with you and hold the puppy like your new born baby. Make sure that she eliminates before you continue your journey.


Pet Puppy Car Seat

TIP: Let your puppy get use with her name, starting from inside the car and show affection and love to the puppy.


8:30 AM The moment you reach your house, you MUST carry the puppy to the elimination spot immediately. Puppy potty training starts at this moment! Use the potty command that you have selected (eg: "go potty", "potty time", "go pee" and etc.). Repeat the command until she has done and say "good girl" to praise her. I will use "potty time" for this guidance.


TIP: Note that if your puppy is less than 2 mouths, it might pee every 15 min as she has little control of her bladder.


9:00 AM After that, if it is the time for your puppy to have breakfast. Then go ahead and prepare her meal and also fresh water. Give her only 20 minutes time. Take away the bowls no matter if she finishes it. Make sure that you give her meal at the same location (eg: next to the crate) and same time everyday.


TIP: Small puppy generally requires more daily meal frequencies (3 or 4 times daily) compare with the older dog (2 times daily).


My suggested time for the meal for puppy is 7 am, 1 pm and 7 pm. But, it is actually up to time that you are convenient with. For your information, my dogs eat at 6 am and 6 pm.


9:35 AM Bring your puppy to the elimination spot after 15 minutes after the meal. This is another puppy potty training session.


TIP: If you want your puppy to be housebroken faster, it is important to have consistent food schedule together with the consistent trips to elimination spot.


9:50 AM After she has done, may be it is the time for her to look around your house, introduce to the family members or introduce to her dog house or dog crate.


TIP: Together with the command and the same location of elimination spot which has her own smell, this could help her to connect to the elimination act during the in home dog training.


10:20 AM After that, your puppy might be tired and needs a nap and I believe you need a rest also. So, this is the puppy crate training session, introduce her to dog crate and make sure that she is comfortable with it. You could associate it with the command "inside".


TIPS: The dogs usually will relieve themselves after a nap.


12:00 PM So, bring her to the elimination spot again after her nap. Should I repeat again? Remember to do it together with the potty training command that you have selected.


1:00 PM Time for her lunch. During this time, try to teach your puppy basic dog obedience training command "Sit" before she is allowed to have her lunch.


This is how it is done. Tell your puppy "Sit", then gently push the lower back of your puppy to the floor. If you puppy has done the action, give her part of her lunch. You may repeat the command for as many times as you want. If she is able to sit without you to push her body then it will be a great achievement for the first day. Make sure that your action will not hurt your puppy. Here is a video showing how to teach a puppy "Sit" Command.



1:35 PM Another puppy potty training session.


TIP: It is better to carry your puppy to the elimination spot rather than give her walk in the first day of puppy house training to prevent accidental leak on the way.


1:35 PM - 7:00 PM You may include a play time (eg: catch ball game) in this house training your puppy session. The "Sit" command is again trained with dog treat. Try your best to tire your puppy out during the play time. This is to make sure that she will sleep throughout the night until the next morning. Try not to give your puppy to have a chance to nap during these hours.


7:00 PM Dinner Time. Just repeat actions you have done during lunch time.


TIP: Prevent your puppy from getting access freely to water bowl after dinner.


7:35 PM Last potty training of the day. Watch the video below for the tips on potty training.



7:50 PM - 9:30 PM If your puppy is not tired yet. Here is your chance to make sure she walks or exercises enough.


12:00 AM Some puppies will need to relieve themselves at this time. You could visit your puppy and see if she is awake. If she is, bring her to the elimination spot.


Before heading to bed, you can review on your puppy house training on the first day.


Ask yourself some questions:

Was she comfortable with your house?
How was her potty training? Is she able to associate the elimination spot with your command?
How about her crate training? Did she like her crate?
How was her energy level during play time?
Was she able to acquire the "sit" command?

After the review, you may think about how you can do better tomorrow to help the puppy to be more joyful and comfortable with your family.


FINAL TIP OF THE DAY: Don't give up! House training your puppy needs time, patient and consistency. You can do it!

Dec 13, House Training a Puppy Guide | House Training Dogs | In Home Dog Training

If you want to succeed in house training a puppy, you need to understand how dogs think and learn.

Puppy Training

You might be thinking: "It will be cool if there is a device that can convert dog language to human understandable language or vice verse, so that I can communicate better with my dog." Well, based on the current technology, this is only possible in our dream.


I may surprise you; the fact is dogs do not think as all! Dogs react or response through motivation and drive. When dogs feel good about something, they will continue to have that behavior. Ok, may be dogs do "think". They think in sensory impressions like visual, sound and odor.

How Dogs Think and Learn


Some example:

When it is almost time to feed your dog, I guess your dog will be looking at you. In her mind, she probably imagine the words that you usually say (eg: "meal time") or the sound of the opening of the dog food can during her meal time or image of you carrying the dog bowl (even there is nothing in the bowl!).
Food treat is a very good motivator for dog. So, in order for she to get the treat from you, her mind probably learns to associate what is the command that you give her during that time (eg: "sit") and how she needs to react (she needs to sit down).

Illustration of Human's Command and Dog's Action


Human: "Sit" command + the dog is sitting = give her the food treat.
For us, we will only give the dog treat only when we say "Sit" and she is sitting.


Dog: Food treat = "sit" sound + I need to put my butt on the floor.
For dog, when she hears the sound "sit", she understands that she has to put her butt on the floor in order for her to get your treat.


I hope that with this illustration, you understand better that about how dogs think and further help in house training a puppy.

Acquisition
By definition, acquisition means the act of acquiring something. In our case, it is the training that we give our dogs. Dogs basically acquire the knowledge of the training when they are motivated to do so. Normally, we motivate our dogs by using food treat as reward. So, a dog will choose to engage in an action again and again so that she can continue to receive the rewards.
Automation
Automation is when your puppy performs certain action to a particular command without being lured. Let's say your puppy has passed the acquisition stage with accuracy of 90%. You may slowly reduce the dog treat when asking your puppy to perform the same action. Until your puppy reaches a stage where she is able to perform actions without the food treat, then she is in the automation stage.
Generalization
After the automation stage, you may further generalize the actions that she needs to perform. How? You may ask different people give the command or ask your puppy to perform the action in different locations or both. You may slowly change one aspect as a time. Your puppy will learn that she needs to perform the actions in any situation when commands are given.
Maintenance
In order for your dog to continuously behave or perform certain actions based upon your command, you will have to maintain the association of her sensory with the actions. So, refresher training from time to time is needed. In any case when your dog has any accident in your house, this is the time you will have to repeat the puppy house training.

I have included the four dog learning stages in the guide of the 7 days house training a puppy. This is a general guide which can be applicable for most dog breeds. Please adjust the in home dog training plan according to your needs.

First Day - House Training Your Puppy Day 1
Your puppy is in acquisition stage. She is learning to get use with your house and is learning some basic commands in potty training a puppy and crate training. She has been repeatedly trained with the command that you have selected for potty training, crate training and meal time.
Second Day - House Training Your Puppy Day 2 - 3
Your puppy is still in acquisition stage but slowly move to automation stage. Same like the first day, your puppy has been repeatedly trained with the same commands during potty training, crate training a puppy and meal time. Additional to that, she is introduced to her collar and leash. This is to train her to recognize the path from her crate to the elimination spot. All these actions are repeatedly done with the same person and same location. Your puppy should slowly associate commands in the house training.
Third Day
The third day is practically repetation of the things in the second day. You will realize that your puppy's actions will be more automated.
Forth Day - Puppy House Training Day 4
The forth day is the day to change one of the variables. For example, during the potty training, you can ask a different person to bring her to the elimination spot and use the same command you have used. She is now in the generalization stage. She needs to know that different people give the command, the response should be the same. During the puppy obedience training, you may also ask a different person to give the command.
Fifth Day - Puppy House Training Day 5
With no doubt, her automated acts will happen more often. During the obedience training, you may change to a different location. She is still in generalization stage. But, change location during the potty training is not advisable. You need to understand that some trainings can be generalized but some can not. Generalization is more applicable to obedience training.
Sixth Day - Puppy House Training Day 6 - 7
If your puppy has reached the generalization stage during obedience training, then you may introduce more different commands to her one at a time. But remember to repeat the previous commands so that you can maintain her behavior (maintenance stage).
Seventh Day
This day is maintenance stage and I believe you have successfully housebroken you puppy! Congrats! You can slowly move on to the next step which is teaching your advance puppy obedience training, leash training a puppy, collar training, dog clicker training, agility training and more.

To succeed in house training a puppy is not an easy task. The dog will go though different stages of learning. Patience and Consistency are the keys in successfully house training dogs.

This page offers FREE puppy training tips that you can do at your house.

Puppy Training

Puppy training is a MUST for any dog because they need to learn how to live in human environment such as houses or apartments. The main purpose of the training is to create a bridge of communication between human and dog.


The first and most important puppy training that you should give your puppy is house training or house breaking. If you house train your puppy well, your puppy will less likely cause accidents in your house and you will also be able to live peacefully.


The house training includes Potty Training a Puppy, Crate Training a Puppy and basic Puppy Obedience Training.


After your puppy has successfully house broken, you may continue with other trainings like advance Dog obedience training, agility training, dog clicker training and more.

Free Puppy Training Tips

Basically when puppy is old enough (8 weeks old) and you can start to train the moment you bring him home.


Step by step puppy training guide will be provided at the bottom of this page, but it requires patient and also consistency from your side to make it a success.


Before you bring your puppy home, you will need to do some preparations.


For example:- Marking Elimination spot in the house and outsidePrepare a Dog CrateSome House Training CommandsDog FoodDog TreatDog Collar and LeashDog ToysOther Dog Supplies

Elimination spot
If you are living in an apartment, the elimination spot could be at the corner of your room with old newspaper covered (paper training). If you prefer, you can buy a litter box for it to eliminate (litter box training). If you are living in a landed house that has a backyard, you may mark any suitable location that you prefer.


Dog Crates
There are many types of dog crates that are available in the market. You can choose any style that you prefer but the size of the dog crate must be at least two times the size of the puppy so that he has his own spaces inside. But the crate should not be too big until he uses part of the free area as elimination area.


House Training Commands
Some of the basic dog commands that you can make use at this moment are "Potty Time", "Go Potty", "Get Busy", "Come", "Sit", "Bed Time". You may learn other commands later when you want to enhance the dog training.


Dog Food and Dog Treat
Consult your dog breeder or veterinarian to ensure that you are giving your puppy or dog the proper diet.


Dog Collar and Leash
This is to prepare your puppy to the dog obedience puppy training. This is especially useful if you are bringing your puppy outside to eliminate.


Dog Toys
Some dog toys are placed inside the crate to make the puppy feel like home. Example: Rubber bones.


Other Dog Supplies
You might need other dog supplies are like dog tooth brush, dog tooth paste, dog water bowl, dog diaper and etc.

Puppy House Training


After I have browsed through many websites that offer free puppy training tips on the Internet, I found out many of them assume that you already have some knowledge in dog training. Thus, they never provide this step by step guide. So, I create this guide with the hope to help those are totally new in puppy training.


Here is the suggested house training guide and also the detailed schedule running from Day 1 to Day 7:


You need to design your house training schedule for your puppy so that you will be more organized and consistent. With a routine schedule, your puppy will be more likely know what to expect from you. In return, you will be able to accurately guessing your puppy elimination time and thus it will save you time and energy for cleaning up the accidents.

7:35 AM After her breakfast, you may introduce to her collar and leash. Using the collar and leash, direct her to the elimination spot for her second puppy potty training of the day.

1:00 PM Her lunch time.


TIP: Differentiate between full meal and also dog treat. If that day, I were to train my dogs, I normally only give them 75% of full meal in the morning and afternoon. During the dog training session, dog treat is given if they are obedient and successfully complete the trick.


1:35 AM After her lunch time, walk your puppy to her elimination spot with leash on. With the repetition, she will soon recognize the path from her crate to the elimination area.


1:35 PM - 7:00 PM After the potty session, you can begin your puppy training and some exercise. A "Fetch Ball" game is a good idea. She will slowly learn to get use with her collar. With leash and collar on, you may walk her in the garden or yard that is near your house.

Dog Fetch Ball Game

Make sure that you tire out your puppy so that she has a good night sleep tonight.

TIP: Prevent your puppy from getting access freely to water bowl after dinner.


7:35 PM Last potty training of the day, do it with leash and also puppy potty command.


7:50 PM - 9:30 PM If your puppy is not tired yet. Here is your chance to make sure she walks or exercises enough. So, tonight, your puppy will sleep with her collar on.


TIP: DO NOT get your puppy to chew your finger as this shall prevent or stop your puppy biting problems in future. >


12:00 AM Some puppies will need to relieve themselves at this time. You could visit your puppy and see if she is awake. If she is, bring her to the elimination spot.


Before heading to bed, you can review on house training your puppy on the second or third day.


Some questions to ask yourself:

How was your puppy reaction with the collar and leash?
Was she able to sit herself with the command during meal time?
Was she able to recognize the path from the dog bowl to the elimination area?
Was she able to understand the crate training command "Inside"?
Was she becomes more comfortable with your house environment?

FINAL TIP OF THE DAY: If your puppy has been more comfortable with your house, it is a good sign.
