Sadly, many dog owners aren&#8217;t willing to do the extra work. Even scarier is when they think the dog or puppy should just &#8220;figure it out&#8221; on its own! Housebreaking is part of the training and once your pup knows the drill it&#8217;s great!<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.adltexas.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/mess.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-306\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.adltexas.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/mess-150x150.jpg?resize=150%2C150\" alt=\"mess\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here are a few tips to help you save your floors:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Get on a schedule and stick to it! \u00a0<\/strong>As soon as you get your puppy or dog start getting on a potty-break shift. \u00a0The golden rule for pups is their age plus one. \u00a0That means if your pup is 4-months-old, he or she should be able to hold it for about 5 hours. \u00a0Of course, every pup is different, so keep an eye on them! \u00a0Your dog should never have to go more than eight hours without a bathroom break.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Crate training is your friend.<\/strong>Get a crate, but make sure it&#8217;s the right size. \u00a0Your dog should be able to stand up and turn around but not run around in there. \u00a0If the dog has enough space to &#8220;do the do&#8221; and sit away from it, that will become the toilet area.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Limit freedom.<\/strong>Your dog doesn&#8217;t need the run of the house, especially if he or she is still having accidents. \u00a0Close off back rooms, block the upstairs and use baby gates to make their living space small and watchable. \u00a0Once you know your dog is house-trained you can open more doors if you wish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>SUPERVISE!<\/strong>This one is key. If pup knows you&#8217;re not watching, well, then he&#8217;s going to piddle in the corner. \u00a0In the beginning you&#8217;ve got to keep an eye on your dog. \u00a0If you see him doing the pee-pee dance, it&#8217;s time to go outside! \u00a0Rubbing their nose in it and trying to correct after the fact does not work. \u00a0You&#8217;ve got to stop them mid-stream and get them outside to finish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Potty first, then play.<\/strong>The great outdoors is just that &#8230; GREAT! \u00a0So when you go outside with pup they want to sniff and explore. \u00a0Many times, they forget to potty until they are back in the house. \u00a0Even if you have a fenced-in yard, keep your pup on the leash until they go to bathroom. \u00a0Their reward can be playtime! \u00a0If you take them out and they do not potty, they just go back inside with you. \u00a0You can try again in another 10 minutes or so.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Teach a cue.<\/strong>Whether it&#8217;s a bark, whine, ring of a bell &#8230; make sure you capture some sort of behavior from your pup so he can let you know when he has to go.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We also get asked all of the time about &#8220;pee pads.&#8221; \u00a0If your pup is using them properly then go for it. \u00a0However, keep in mind they can be confusing. \u00a0Puppy doesn&#8217;t know why he can piddle on that soft spot (the pad) but not on the other one (your carpet). \u00a0In the end, you have got to pack a little patience with your pup. \u00a0It&#8217;s a new experience for them as well, but once they get the hang of things they&#8217;ll be happy to go outside to potty.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Animal Defense League of Texas has a certified dog trainer on staff and offers low-cost dog training and free puppy classes. \u00a0For more information please click\u00a0<a title=\"ADL dog training\" href=\"http:\/\/adltexas.wpengine.com\/dog-training-in-san-antonio\/\">aqu\u00ed<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>El adiestramiento para hacer sus necesidades es una de esas cosas con las que casi todos los due\u00f1os de perros se enfrentan cuando adquieren un nuevo amigo.
