How To Stop Your Puppy From Peeing Indoors
– Every day we get lots of questions about puppy potty training
on our YouTube videos and I feel that I spend a lot of time typing out replies that
include the same two answers. Are you going through
all the appropriate steps of puppy potty training but
your day still includes this? Oh, gross. Oh, gross. That one's still warm. Gross.
Then you're probably missing
two very important elements of puppy potty training
that I'm gonna teach you in this video so that
your puppy very quickly understands the rules of the house and so that they stop
having accidents indoors. I'm Ken Steepe and welcome
back to McCann Dogs. (guitar strum) (dog barking) We train over 500 dogs every single week at our training facility. So if this is your first
time on our YouTube channel, make sure you hit that subscribe button so that I can help you
to have a well-behaved four legged family member. The first element of puppy potty training that we need to talk about is supervision. Now you've heard me talk about supervision in other puppy potty training
videos on our channel but if you're doing everything else right and your puppy's still
having accidents on the floor then it's time that we get focused on giving them good information for your puppy's sake…
And for your sake. That means that even if
you just had your puppy out for a pee but they're still occasionally having accidents in the house, when you come back inside you need to have your eyes on
them 100% of the time. If you aren't able to supervise your puppy then just put them in their crate. That way they can't sneak away and have an accident in the house without you knowing. Now I'm not talking about
supervision like this. But I'm definitely not talking
about supervision like this. But if you're supervising
and still struggling, then it's time for the secret sauce. (bell ringing) Now that you're monitoring
your puppy really closely, you're going to see them if
they start to have an accident and it's your responsibility
to give them the information that this kind of behavior isn't allowed. You need to mark that moment
in time for your puppy.
You need to use your
voice with an ah or a hey to really let them know
that at that moment they're making a mistake. Use a sound or a word or something abrupt that will capture their
attention immediately and in some cases it will
even interrupt them midstream. Use something really short and sweet. You don't wanna be
speaking in full sentences to your puppy about how
disappointed you are that this is the third time today that they've peed on floor. You have no idea how disappointed I am that this is the third time today that you've peed on the floor. That's two days in a row and
that's two days too many, if you know what I'm saying.
I think the first time I really noticed… So focus on making that
negative verbal reprimand short and sweet. Now if your marker doesn't
stop your puppy midstream, don't take them up and
drag them to the door. You're just gonna end up with a huge mess all the way out of your home. But if your puppy is interrupted
by that verbal marker then quickly take them up
and carry them outside. Put them down in a place where
you do want them to go pee. Once they've finished their
pee there, praise them. Let them know that this is the place that they are allowed to go.
Giving your puppy clear information is the key to puppy training and using this verbal marker while your puppy's having
an accident indoors is the key to stopping those
puppy potty training problems, especially if it's a routine
that they've developed. If you've got a question
about puppy potty training, drop it in the comments below and make sure you check
out that video next to me. It's all about the reasons that your puppy potty training isn't working. On that note, I'm Ken. I'll see you in the next video..
