Crate training puppies is the quickest way to get your puppy house trained. The reason it works is because when crate training puppies, it's very easy to understand your puppy's eating and potty schedule, while at the same time making it very clear to your puppy where the toilet area is.
Many inexperienced dog owners are uncomfortable with the idea of crate training, as it might seem harsh or cruel. Dogs enjoy having a private den area, and the crate becomes a safe space for your puppy that he knows is his "home" and he can go to when he's tired. The way crate training basically works is that a puppy is resistant to going to the toilet in his own space, and will try to hold off on relieving himself until he can get to another location-this is why crate training works.
The crate needs to be large enough so your puppy can comfortably walk around in a circle and then lie down. As he gets older, upgrade to a larger crate if necessary. Crate training puppies works basically because dogs want to avoid lying in their urine so they hold off on using the toilet when in the crate for as long as possible.
Throughout the day, keep track of the times each day your puppy drinks, eats and goes to the bathroom. This way you can put together a schedule for toilet breaks around the times of day your dog might need to go. Typically, toilet times tend to happen first thing in the morning, after playtime, 30 minutes after eating, and before bedtime. For younger puppies a few nighttime time trips may also be needed.
The first thing you do when you take your puppy out of his crate is take him right to the toilet area. If he gets easily distracted, simply carry him straight there and set him down in the toilet area. Be prepared to watch and wait for 10-15 minutes, especially in the beginning. Once he has finished his business, immediately give lots of verbal praise and offer him a treat. If nothing happens, take him back to the crate, and try again in about 20 minutes. Repeat until successful, and then reward the good behavior with playtime, as well as lots of praise and affection. It is important to teach your dog that he needs to go potty first, then he can have playtime. This sets him up to expect and understand that he should get his business done and then he gets playtime.
Crate training puppies can take a lot of time and effort in the initial stages of house training puppies. However, if you do it properly you will be results soon. Your puppy will need frequent breaks for stretching and playing, but for the most part stays in the crate during the day during the training process.
Whenever your dog is out of his crate, keep your eyes on him at all times. If you catch him about to have an accident on the carpet, shout No! and whisk him up and take him immediately out to the right area. This can be messy and chaotic, but it is really the only chance you have to help him understand where to go.
When you are house training puppies, understand that accidents will happen. Clean it up quietly and quickly without letting your dog watch you. Use urine odor remover type cleaning products so your dog will not sniff out that area as the toilet next time. Overall, just remember that it will take time to get your puppy properly potty trained, so have patience and be consistent.
