I have been very successful potty training by crate training. For me it has been the most effective way to train. I started crate training my 8 7 week old puppies 3 weeks ago and had them potty trained in two weeks.

I’m still of two minds about crate training and I have been told that puppies start learning when and where to potty but it doesn’t seem to be happening any time soon. I have 2 shih tzu puppies and i have been following the paper training, trying to teach them to potty in a designated place etc but it is still more miss than hit after 1 1/2 months. They are also wetting their bedding now and they seem to pee and poop whenever something has just been cleaned! What more can I do? Realistically, I am away from the house for 8 hours a day – I do not want them to be left in a crate so instead keep them in a playpen or section of the house with bedding, toilet area etc. However, as soon as they are out (when I get back) they pee/ poop anywhere. I want them to be able to potty in the house but in the right place. What more can I do? How are they meant to ‘hold on’? How long am I meant to wait them out when they have eaten their main meals? They hold on longer than an hour!
They are still puppies – the boy is nearly 2 1/2 months old and the girl is nearly 2 months. They are still learning and as a new dog owner, I am also still learning, hence the questions. I resent comments made, such as by the "Dog Rescue Director" that they need rescuing. They are very much loved and I am doing the best I can. In future, please don’t answer any of my questions. Your answers aren’t helpful.I am a teacher therefore have little time to get home before the school day ends. It would be great if I could but I need suggestions that will help accommodate those hours as a result. Potty training is the only thing I need help with. If it turns out that training them to go outside is the best option I will do it but in the mean time, what else can I do?

You shouldn’t have dogs being gone that long. Resign yourself to living in a dog toilet for the rest of your life. I’d suggest getting them into rescue.

We bought a 6 1/2 week old puppy for our sons birthday today, and i was wondering if anyone has any tips for sucessfully toilet training a puppy, and is it unrealistic to expect it so young?

It is a springer spaniel

Housebreaking a puppy takes time and consistency. Basically what you will need to do is –
Take it out to the same spot every time.
This means when it first wakes up in the am, after eating, playing, or daytime naps. About every 2 hours. If you are consistent and the puppy is smart (usually springer’s are) it should only take you a few weeks to train.
I did try paper training once and will never again. The problem lies in the fact to a dog paper is paper. They don’t care if it’s last weeks or the library book you checked out. So I don’t recommend paper training.
You can also talk with your vet and there’s lots of books at the library on training dogs. Also check with your local 4-H there may be a dog club in your area your child can join and learn how to train/show the dog at fair.

My dog is a male, and when he gets in the house he tends to get very excited and starts jumping around all over the place and tends to knock things over.

Plus going toilet is a matter too, he doesn’t know which places to not pee.

How can I train him to be calm and to not go toilet where itis unwanted? Help? Please jot down any suggestions, Any at all!

How about keeping your dog indoors for the majority of the day, use a Crate. Let your dog outside from 10am to 4pm instead of in the middle of the night.
Crate him when he sleeps at night, and crate him when no one is home to supervise. Otherwise let him roam the house. Dog’s do not like to soil their "sleeping" place, AKA the crate. So they will hold it in as long as they can. A 6month old can hold their pee for 6hrs max, 7months 7hrs, 8months 8hrs, etc.
Look for signs that your dog needs to use the washroom (excess ground sniffing, twirling in circles etc.) If you catch the dog "in the act" scold him, but don’t scold him if it takes you longer than 5seconds from the "act", or else he will not associate the scolding with what he did wrong.
After you take the dog out of the crate, immediately bring him outside and teach him the cue "Go pee pee!" or w/e. Also bring your dog outside after each meal, each nap, and just as a play session starts. PRAISE your dog when he pee/poops outside. If your dog pooh’s inside, bring the pooh and the dog Outside, and tell him the cue "go pee pee" or w/e. Stop access to water 2hrs before bed and make sure to bring him outside to pee before you go to sleep and lock him in the crate.
Make sure to clean up any spots your dog peed on with proper cleaner (nothing with ammonia, cuz that smells like pee and a dog will just pee on the spot AGIAN.)
Eventually your dog will try to give you a cue when it needs to go outside. Mine sits against the door and whines if it’s an emergency. You could also try to train your dog to ring a bell.
anyways that’s all I can think of. Goodluck, I hope your parents help you with the training and you stop making your dog live outside simply because you don’t know how to potty train.

Potty-training a puppy is all about patience, being realistic and teaching a puppy where they can go in the house. Get a puppy to recognize that outside is the place for urination and defecation with pet care advice from a veterinarian in this free video on dog training and raising puppies.

From Karen Pryor’s Puppy Love (available at http://www.clickertraining.com/store), Carolyn Clark gives you an overview and some tips on potty training your puppy. To learn how to teach your puppy to ring a bell when it needs to go potty, check out How to Teach ‘Ring the Bell’ for Potty Time by Virginia Broitman and Sherri Lippman. From the ClickFlicks Learning Center. http://www.clickertraining.tv

“Clicker training” is the popular term for the training or teaching method based on what we know about how living organisms learn.

Research has shown that any creature—whether a dog, cat, dolphin, parrot, fish, horse, llama, or person—is more likely to learn and repeat actions that result in consequences it desires and enjoys. So clicker trainers provide consequences desired by their animal in exchange for actions or behaviors desired by their trainers.

We call these consequences “rewards” and the process is called “reinforcement.” Clicker training, therefore, is a positive-reinforcement-based system of training.

First widely used by dolphin trainers who needed a way to teach behavior without using physical force, operant conditioning (the scientific term for clicker training) can be and has been successfully employed with animals of all sizes and species, both domesticated and wild, young and old; all breeds of dogs and puppies, cats, birds, leopards, rats, rabbits, chinchillas, fish, and more.

Clicker trainers who learn the underlying principles have at their disposal a powerful set of tools that enable them to analyze behaviors, modify existing methods for individual animals, and create new methods where none previously existed. This flexibility allows the tools of clicker training to be re-invented in new forms that work in a range of situations, and for an infinite variety of animals.

The same principles have also been applied to training for athletes, dancers, skaters, and other people. Called “TAGteach,” this form of training uses a click as a marker signal to teach precise physical motions quickly, accurately, and positively.
