Re: can I get puppy housebreaking help?

[(Anonymous)]

You need to try and be consistent and on top of things. Definitely keep an eye on body language and her signals. If she looks like she's close to going pick her up and bring her outside. And whenever she does go to the bathroom outside not only praise her but use a specific word (I used "go pee" or "pee" with my dogs). They'll associate the word so that later down the road in training you can say stuff like "do you need to go out and go pee?" or take them out and tell them "go pee" instead of waiting around for them to signal. This is big if you don't have a yard. When I had my dog and didn't have a yard we'd take a walk before bed and I'd tell her to "go pee", instead of me waiting for her to signal or maybe being woken up in the middle of the night or something.

If your dog messes in the house do not scold her harshly. Praise praise praise for good is way more important than scolding for bad. To specifically answer your question, no I don't think you're screwing her up by not reacting in time. But even if you're late still take her outside so that she associates pee time + outdoors.

You didn't specify how old but for the first few months it's mostly going to be you noticing that the dog has to go out and creating the routine for them. There's not much to do about it. Very small dogs have a smaller bladder and less recognition about when they need to go. Time and patience.

Have fun! What kind of pup is it?

and she's about the cutest thing I've ever seen. I squee every time I look at her.

so full of personality.

thanks for the advice for the verbal cue as well. this is my first puppy and first housebreaking attempt so...it's been as much training for me as for her.
