Housebreaking - crate training

Toilet location (outside or papers)
Crate small enough.
Puppy training aid or puppy urine on newspapers.
Neutraliser.


3-month-old puppy


1. Give a name to the puppy
2. Use a crate. Put him in. In the kitchen. Can see people (he is a pack animal). Bedroom at night.
3. Take out every two hour.
4. An exercise and feeding schedule e.g.
7 am. Food, water, play after pooping. Play for 15 min. Crate.
9 am, 11 am, 1 pm, 3 pm. Carry him out or walk out with leash and heel him out to toilet location (outside or papers).
6 pm Food, play after pooping. Crate.
8 pm, 10 pm. With hold water.
5. Say "Pee Pee." Praise "Good dog". Food rewards or not up to you.
6. Accident - do not make a big fuss.
If you catch the puppy, interrupt him with a loud NO. Take him to the toilet area. If you do not catch him, bring him (do not call him) to the accident area, hit the floor (not the puppy) so that he looks at the mess. Say NO and take him to his toilet area. Praise.
Clean up the area immediately and well. Neutraliser.
Never whack the puppy. He is frightened of you.

7. N-1 formula.
