Housetraining/Carrier Training
Take the puppy outside after each nap or meal. Do not play with him until he has done his business. If he hasn’t “done his business” within about 10 minutes, take him back inside and put him in the dog carrier. Repeat the above routine in 15 minutes. Remember, no play until the puppy does his business and lots of praise and a food treat. Puppies learn to “Hold it” when they are in the dog carrier and if they go to the bathroom in the dog carrier they can’t get away from it. They do not like that. So, they learn to Hold it when in the dog carriers.
Playpen for puppies when you’re not home.
If you need to leave your home, you should place your puppy in the dog carrier. A puppy that’s crated will not chew the furniture or wet the floor when your out. If he has already wet the carpet or chewed the furniture, do not put him back in dog carriers as punishment. You want your puppy to love and feel safe in dog carriers. After the puppy is housebroken, leave dog carriers open during the day. You’ll find that the puppy will nap in the dog carrier by choice. You can continue to put the puppy in dog carriers when your away from the home as long as you don’t leave them confined too long or they start think of the dog carrier as punishment.
Some hints for dog carriers use:
| • | When telling the dog to go into his dog carrier, use a command such as “Crate up.” |
| • | To get the dog accustomed to staying in dog carriers, give him meals or treats in dog carriers with the door open. |
| • | Put some washable bedding and a toy in dog carriers for comfort. |
| • | DO NOT use dog carriers for discipline. It’s to be a happy, safe place. |
| • | If the puppy or dog soils the dog carrier, don’t scold. Instead, make arrangements so he’s not left alone for such long periods. |
