This video is on housetraining puppies and dogs. It covers teaching a dog where you want him to go to the bathroom, how to teach a cue to go to the bathroom, managing the dog in the house, what to do if your dog goes to the toilet in the house, pros and cons of using a litter box for separation training, how to set up a pen with a litter box, setting up a pen or litter box for a dog who is peeing and pooping everywhere.

Housetraining consists of essentially 2 things:

1 Teaching the puppy where to go
2 Management and prevention

Tips- If your puppy does pee in the house, hang out in area that was peed on, train and play with your puppy on that spot after it has been cleaned and dried, put a bed over it (if your puppy doesn’t like to pee in his bed) or a food or water bowl there telling them this is not a toilet! It’s the den!

When the puppy has a FULL bladder, have them on leash in the area that they are prone to want to go in the house and say “outside” and show him the route to the RIGHT location. Some dogs just don’t seem to get that when they are upstairs they should go all the way down the stairs to out the door. By showing him the way, he will be more likely to think of it on his own.

Some puppies need to pee twice in a row. So if you are blessed with a puppy like this, you must praise and reward for going to the bathroom and then wait another minute. With a previous puppy I helped raise, we would walk him to one area in the yard where he would pee, then walk him to a second area where he would pee again 30 seconds later.

Some people find that bringing the puppy in and then going directly out again if a puppy is taking forever to go to the bathroom can speed up the process if you have a puppy that won’t go outside, but immediately wants to go when inside the house again.

Litter box training:

The key is taking the dog out so frequently and strategically that they don’t even go in their litter. Once the dog is reliably not going in the box the box can be removed. But it’s nice I think to have it for times where you are gone longer than normal or when say the dog might end up having a bladder infection.
