Dalmatian Training	Can't Post

Hey,

I just got a puppy dalmatian it is 13 weeks old and is a very cute. I need help training it though. Im trying to house train it, like whenever it pees in the house i try to stop it in the action and take it outside for a walk untill it pees then once it pees i praise it then bring it inside and put it in its crate for trying to pee inside. Once its in the crate it wont stop barking and scratching the door. How can i get it to love its crate?

Also i need to know what supplies i need for the dalmatian. I have a small crate which im gonna need to throw away and get a bigger one i also have plenty of toys a water bowl and a food bowl. but what else should i get?

Thanks ya
DIzzle

Hi there...

Toilet-training can be quite tedious, so, please be a little patient with the puppy... Smile

Good job on catching the pup in the act when it is peeing in the wrong spot! That can be tough as you have to be very alert when that happens... Unimpressed

Anyway, I noticed a couple of things about pups when it comes to toilet time...

1. After it has woken up after it slept, it will usually need to go relieve themselves
2. After a meal, it will need to relieve itself. Varies from 15mins to 1hr, depending on type of "business".

A tip is to observe your pup when it is time to go toilet... It may sniff the ground, looking for a familiar place or even scratch it. When that happens, time to take it out for a walk...

As for crate training, the pup will need some enticing to stay in the crate. I read this is a book and it makes some sense,
1. Place the puppy in the crate along with a small treat. Close the crate and keep the puppy in it for 5 minutes. Praise it when it is quiet.
2. Never release the puppy when it is making noise.
3. Once it is quiet for 5 minutes, release the puppy and praise it.
4. Repeat the procedure in increments of 5 minutes until the puppy can get used to the crate.

Is the puppy alone in its crate?

If it is alone, here is a tip, which may help, that is to leave the radio on while the puppy is in the crate.

Hope this helps... Unsure

Hehe..

Yea... They can be pretty cute even when you are a little bit angry with them... Tongue

Only thing is to exercise some patience and try out the tips the sifus here have mentioned. Tongue

Music + 1 of her fav toys. Tongue

Must make the cage as comfy as possible as that is her bed. Tongue

It would help if you played a game or give a treat before you put her in the cage?

Hope that helps... Tongue
