Have any of you read Cesar Millan’s book and is now obsessed with spreading his dog training techniques?

I read Cesar’s Way and Be the Pack Leader by Cesar Millan, and let me tell you, I have zero experience with training but his books taught me how to transform my insecure yappy pug into my dream dog- a stable, happy and calm pug.

Am I the only one who got ripped off with Nancy Richards’ dog training institute?

She promises all the answers to really good issues with obedience training for cairn terriers and dogs in general but she didn’t have ANYTHING anybody that’s ever seen a dog wouldn’t already know! I am constantly being bombarded with advertisements for the very information I paid her for! She brags a 120 Day “no questions asked” refund policy but won’t refund or answer emails. Am I the only one who fell for this scam?

Teaching Your New Puppy Potty Training

potty training PUPPY
When it comes to potty training puppy you should always be prepared for a few little accidents along the way. In fact, without these accidents it can be difficult to show your beloved puppy exactly where they can and cannot go. That said, on the whole, the process of potty training puppy would be much quicker and a lot easier if you get into a routine that means your puppy is unlikely to make mistakes.
As with all forms of Puppy Training you should use reprimand and reward. Only ever use verbal reprimand and only when it is absolutely necessary, but in comparison you should give your dog as much praise as possible when they do something well or do it correctly. In the case of potty training you should reprimand them for going indoors but only if you catch them in the act and you should reward them when they go outside.
You should remember that puppies will need to go and potty roughly half an hour after every meal but they will also need to go first thing in the morning and last thing at night. However, these are unlikely to be the only occasions they will need to go out and you should learn to read your puppy to know when he is sniffing for somewhere to go or is just exploring the house and trying to recognize the smells. Initially you should probably be letting your puppy out every two to three hours.
While your puppy is training you should not leave food down for them and instead you should have set meal times. Wherever possible, stick to these same times every day because this will help your puppy learn a routine of eating and going outside at the same time every day. As well as using the same time for your routine you should try to make everything as constant as possible. If you use a particular door to take them out on the first visit then you should continue to use this door.
When everything goes well and puppy does manage to potty outside then you should praise them and possibly even give them a tasty treat. If you do this regularly they will associate walking out of that door to go to the toilet and being given a treat for doing so. In the even you catch your puppy in the act, pick him up before he’s finished and take him outside. Once he finishes outside, give him praise and a treat.

Learn the Right Way to Potty Train Puppy

The day you bring home your little bundle of joy can be an exciting one for the whole family. Your new puppy will be a loving friend and companion for many years to come. One of the first things you will need to do as a new parent is to teach your puppy good manners. You will need to potty train puppy and it’s not hard to do, if you know how.
Dogs are very intelligent. They love their parents and want to please them. They will try really hard to do what they are supposed to do. But just like with human children they do need to be taught the proper times and places to relieve themselves. Follow a few simple steps to potty train puppy and you will enjoy each other’s company a lot more.
The first thing you want to do when you first get home with your puppy is to take them outside to relieve themselves. When taking them out use a phrase such as ‘go potty’ or any other phrase that you feel comfortable with. Just remember to use the phrase every time you take them out. This will let them know what they are supposed to do. Once they’re done praise them and try to spend some time playing with them.
Dogs don’t like to soil their den. They won’t relieve themselves near their bed, food and water. They are very clean animals generally. It’s because of this den mentality that crate training is so effective. When you purchase a crate take into account how big your puppy will get when she grows up. Make sure to get one that will allow your grown dog to move around comfortably, stand up completely without hunching and have room for their bed and some toys.
Since the crate will probably be too big for your puppy you want to close off the back section of the crate while you potty train puppy. This will reinforce their natural dislike of soiling there den. If they have too much room in their crate they will just relive themselves in another part of the crate. Just take a board and make a partition to close off the back half of their crate. Once they get bigger you can remove the partition and give them access to the whole crate.
Remember the crate is a tool to help potty train puppy. It isn’t a punishment. You want to make it inviting and leave the door open when the puppy isn’t in it. That way they can go in whenever they want. Also, keep the crate near the family. Don’t isolate them. Even when they are in their crate they should be able to see and hear what’s going on and feel like they are part of the family.
To potty train puppy as quickly as possible keep your puppy in the crate whenever they can’t be supervised. When you go to bed, or off to work, put the puppy in the crate.
Puppies are like small children. They have small bowels and bladders and don’t have much time between the time they realize they have to relieve themselves and when they actually go. Make sure you take them out frequently throughout the day. And limit their water intake in the hour or so before you go to bed or to work.
Following these simple tips will make it easy to potty train puppy. Just remember your dog is clean by nature, very smart and she wants to please you. Give her every opportunity to succeed and she will. Enjoy your new best friend!
