hello everyone welcome to Cece Family in NYC if you don't know who i am my name is Jane and i'm
passionate about teaching you everything you need to know as a first-time dog owner so make
sure you subscribe to our channel and turn on the notification bell so you can see my video every
week in this series i'll be sharing how i train my dogs before we start i want to quickly talk
about priority basic obedience commands should be the number one priority when you first get a puppy
yes those belly up, play dead, handshake, close the door tricks that you see are very cool however
when you have a new puppy your focus should be on teaching them commands that would lay a solid
foundation for well-behaved dog in the future so for this first episode i want to talk about how to
house train your dog which is the most important training and number one priority i cannot stress
it enough now let's get to the training so if you have time to supervise your puppy you can
observe the behaviors and identify when they need to go potty to either bring them outside
or to the potty pad that's great and i will talk about how to actually do it in a minute
if you however cannot keep an eye on your dog say you are working from home and at times you need to
actually focus on working i would highly recommend great training so reasons for that number one
dogs usually don't pee while they sleep number two getting them used to staying in a confined
restricted space actually has a lot of different benefits so for example when you need to take
them on a fly with you and have to put them in a carrier and by the way we have another video
and we're talking about how to fly with the small dog in a cabin internationally coming up soon so
stay tuned for that number three is if you have a destructive puppy, crate training them can help you
to prevent them from basically ruining your house when you leave them unsupervised okay so how often
should you take your puppy out usually for a new puppy i would recommend you to take a two
month old puppy out every two hours and gradually increase the interval as they get older and as you
get to know your your own puppy schedule more so what are the times a dog often need to go party
usually dogs will go party after they wake up after eating drinking playing and napping so those
are the times you need to pay close attention to and it's best in the beginning that you take
them out after every of those listed activities so that you have a higher chance of success so if you
keep doing what i mentioned above you should be able to have a dog that is potty trained already
however if you want to take it to the next level introduce the potty command so the
way you do it is when they are in the action you say the command so it can be anything for
for me i usually say go potty so after they finish their business you give them a treat and say yes
good girl a good parent to mark the good behavior so the command will help you in many different
ways say they're used to going party in grass and you are traveling somewhere else or flying and you
need them to go party in a different surface or it's snowing and sometimes dog refuses to
go party during snow so in those situations this command will come in very handy because you'll
be able to command your dog to actually go potty in whatever surface that is at that very moment
so in order to teach this command you definitely need a bag of treats by the way this is the treat
that you use for Cece's training i put the link in the description box down below i like this treat
because it has minimal and quality ingredients and soft and tender and therefore can easily
be broken down into smaller pieces because you really don't want to overfeed your dog i've seen
some people that just keep throwing huge treats without breaking it down for a very small dog and
that's absolutely no no if you don't have any bag of treats laying around at home
it's fine too you can just break down some boiled chicken breast pieces and that should also do the
work so a lot of you might ask well i took my puppy out but they never go potty outside but
as soon as they come back home they will pee on my floor that's completely normal
for a dog that's not potter trained and don't freak out there are ways to solve this one way is
to strictly crate train your puppy as i mentioned above and only take them out when they need to go
potty and as soon as you take your puppy out of the crate and put leash on and carry them in your
arms straight to the place you want your puppy to go potty it can be either outside the house or the
pee pad and it's only then that you put your puppy down now if you are someone who doesn't want to crate
train your dog and that you have time to supervise them learn to read body language. There'll be cues
for you to know that they need to go potty for example when dogs are about to go poo
they will often walk around in circle and as soon as you notice that lift your pup up immediately
and bring your puppy to your desired party area if your dog needs to go pee they will often make
abrupt change in the activity your behavior so they'll play with the toys and all the sudden they
stop and move away run after them quick and pick them up immediately and again bring them to where
you want them to the potty also what i find that helps is to have a consistent feeding schedule
for example if you are feeding them three times a day set them at 8 a.m 12 p.m and 6 p.m every day
consistently this will help in the sense that they will be more likely to go potty
at consistent times making house training a lot easier and predictable for you
try to make a potty schedule in the beginning noting down the time that they actually go potty
and find a pattern that way you know when is the best time to take them out okay so that's
everything you need to know about house training your dog if you follow these steps you should be
able to house train your puppy in no time so if you found this video helpful and want to
