This is a tip for new puppy owners. They are adorable but the pee pee can strain an otherwise great relationship. This is what we do with our very young pups. First of all love them. Dogs will try very hard to please. Set aside 10 days to house train your pup.

First of all get a large box with high sides. Put a very comfy blanket or other soft bedding and place it in the box. Find a wind up clock and a hot water bottle. The clock sounds like a heartbeat and the warmth from the hot water bottle is soothing to the puppy. Tuck them both under the bedding. Now, for the next 10 days, the puppy spends the majority of his/her time in the box.

When he comes out he is taken directly out on the grass so the pup will become accustomed to going pee and poo on the grass. Lots of praise really helps. Now you can have a playtime for a while inside or outside. Remember to take puppy back out on the grass before placing him back in the box. It is your choice to feed the pup inside or outside of the box but I prefer a large box so puppy can eat or drink without stress for you and the pup. Keep this up for 10 days and you will have a house trained puppy. It has always worked for us.

I have two 6 week old American bulldogs, they come from the same mother. We actually got our male 1 week before the female and our male keeps peeing, even in his crate! We take him out and he does his business and we play with him. I'm so frustrated! Our female seems to do better, I've been reading that maybe he was taken from his mother too early.

He will even pee when he's being held. I am at my wits end and need help! We only feed him in the morning and evening, and don't let him drink all day. I crate trained my toy poodle and it went perfect, I had her at 7 weeks. I just feel like I'm doing something wrong. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Am I correct in trying to train 6 pitbull puppies to pee and poo on newspaper on a bathroom floor this is the only way I can think of doing this when having 6 of them. They are 4 weeks old on July 8. They already eat puppy food, interact with each other. Thanks Gina.

Evy, i am the owner of a half pit half neapolitan mastiff. She is a very very smart dog. One thing I can say is lots and lots of praise when your puppy does something right. But what has worked for us is always talking to her like a person and not a dog. Don't talk to her like a baby when you want her to listen to you. Give her commands and when she does bad, scold, but you don't have to beat her. Pits can be very very loving and they will always be very protective of you. You need to have a good medium between letting people in your family get used to her and let her get used to them. If you want a guard dog, don't let anyone other than your family pet her or give her treats or anything. But be very consistent in everything you do with her...just like a child. Talk to her like a person, it will take time, but when she is older (mine is 3 1/2) she will listen like you won't belive. Hope this helps. Good luck!
