How do I stop my puppy from peeing in the house?
You should start trying to house train your puppy as soon as your puppy gets home. Some puppies will learn very quickly and for others it may take a while. Even if your pup does learn quickly he will still have an occasionally accident, perhaps when he is excited for example, so don't be disheartened when this happens.
Here are suggestions to how you might go about house training your puppy so that he stops 'peeing in the house'.
- Take your puppy outside regularly to pee.
- When he pees outside give lots of praise and reward.
- As he pees you could give a command that you will use in future, such as 'go pee'.
- If you catch him in the act of peeing in the house tell him 'no' and carry him straight outside to where he should go. Then praise him if he goes again in the correct place.
- If you do not catch him in the act of peeing in the wrong place do not tell him off as he won't associate the telling off with the 'accident'.
- Make sure you use proper animal cleaner to clear up urine in the house, or your puppy will smell it and will go there again.
