Stephen fanny: How to train my puppy to poop outside? I have a 4 1/2-month-old Beagle puppy. I have been housebreaking her to go outside to do her potty. And so far, it's not going well. Please give me some tips or steps on how to train my puppy to go outside and potty. Thank you. :) Photo Credit: daveynin/Flickr CC Answers and Views: Answer by Cedric Jones My family had the same problem with our puppy. It will take some time to housebreak your Beagle, but to make it easy, make sure that you introduce her to grass as many times a day or week as you can until she goes, trust me by the time she understands the meaning of going in the grass, she'll let you know every time. Good luck! Answer by Kevin You can do this with puppies that are 20 weeks. It takes three days, but you won’t have a problem. Put the puppy on a leash and tie it to you for 3 days. Do not allow the puppy to have an accident. Take it outside. If the puppy pulls on its leash, stop the puppy and make it sit. If the puppy pulls you, we don’t go anywhere. If the puppy leaves slack on the leash, let it go wherever it wants. By the time you get done with 3 days, you’ll have a puppy that is house trained, knows how to sit and won’t jerk you around. If you do need a break, crate the puppy briefly. Also, remember. Any time a puppy changes state it needs to go out. If it’s asleep and wakes up. If it is calm and then you’ve rough housed. If you feed or water it. If it’s calm then excited. If it’s excited then calm. They figure out pretty quick to ask to go out and that outside is where we do our business. Answer by Epic band geek What I did with my last dog, which worked pretty efficiently, was get a newspaper and some cardboard and put it on the floor about seven feet from the door. I would keep a close eye on the dog and when she started squatting, I could kinda pull her over to the newspaper and she’d go there. Each day I moved the paper closer to the door and after a week of moving it a foot closer each day, it was outside the door. By about day three she’d started associating newspaper with the potty. So when it was outside she’d see it through the glass door and start panting and whining to signal she needs out. Worked for me and some other family members. But all dogs are different. P.S: Stock up on pet odor/stain remover. With the cardboard under the paper, the staff usually didn’t get to the carpet before I took care of it and replaced it, but just in case. And don’t keep the same paper and cardboard whatever you do. It won’t smell purdy! Good luck! View dog stains and odor remover on Amazon (#ad). Answer by Chula Lula All dogs (and most people) have a schedule. After eating keep a very close eye on your dog. write down when it begins to go poop each time. Keep the collar or harness on the dog and when it is “time” for it to go take it (with leash on) to the exact spot you want it to go outside. DO NOT go inside or away from that spot until it has gone poop. Do this for a week or 2 and it will begin to go on its own to that spot. Consistency on YOUR part is the key. Answer by Crystal I also had a problem with training my families Black Lab puppy. What we did was every time he woke up, we would bring him straight outside, and after he ate. Every time he peed/pooped, we would give him half of (or smaller) a treat. After a while, he got that if he went outside and did his business, he got rewarded, and now we have no problems. Beagles are generally pretty smart dogs, and she should get it if you keep up with it. Hope I helped(: Answer by Hannah Brown It helps if you have a command for going poop for your Beagle puppy. I use the words “go poopies”. Preferably, when your dog is a puppy start training him to go in one place in the yard. It’s still possible in older dogs, it just takes longer. This will take a bit of your time upfront, but the payoff is a nice poop-free yard. Step1 When your dog has to go poop, put her on a leash. (Use the command to go poop frequently throughout the training and later.) Walk her to the section of the yard you want him to poop. Say the poop command. Stay with her until she is finished. Make sure it’s a big enough section for her to search for just the right place. My dog sniffs every last piece of grass to find just the right place to poop. Praise, praise, and reward her!! Do this each time for several days. Step2 When ready to test the results, put the leash on the dog as you did before. Don’t hold the leash. Then open the door, say the command, and let the dog go out. Keep saying the command until you are sure she knows what she’s supposed to be doing. Go out with her and encourage her to go to “the spot”. Grab the leash and correct her if she’s not in the right place. Again praise and reward her for her success. Step3 The next step is to remove the leash, say the command, and go out with her to the spot. Again praise and reward the dog. Step4 Next step, open the door, say the command, and let her out without the leash. Watch from the door to shot out a command if needed. Pointing to “the spot” while stating the poop command again helps some dogs. Step5 Lastly, she should go to the spot each time. If she starts to stray, use commands to get her going in the right direction. You can go back to the leash part anytime she needs review or longer training time. Don’t give up, it’s great!! Now I feed my dog the same time every eve at 6 and he poos every morning at 8.. so train when you know she needs to go ok remember to praise her really well when she has done. What is the temperature tolerance for a Beagle dog? How do I Stop my Beagle from Crying When We Leave? Are Beagles Hard Dogs to Train? Answer by Ashlie You need to buy a crate. I didn't want to fork the money out to get one, and I felt bad putting my dog in there, but I was tired of pee and poop on my carpet so I gave in. Getting that crate was the best decision of my life. I would wait for my dog to eat and/or drink and right after she was done, I would put her in the crate. She won't pee in the crate because she space is too small, and dogs won't pee where they lay down. I would wait for a few hours and then take her outside. In the beginning, she obviously didn't know what to do, she would go out and try to play and goof off so I would take her back in immediately and put her back in the crate. I would wait 15 minutes or so and then take her back out. Eventually, when you do this process over and over, your dog will HAVE to go potty and will go as soon as you let him hold still long enough to go. When your Beagle finally does go outside to potty, praise her like there's no tomorrow! I usually did a command too that my dog could associate with going potty so that she wouldn't want to play outside and she know it meant "business time." I would keep repeating this whole process. When she finally started going to the door herself, I gave her more freedom inside the house. When she would make a mistake (because that WILL happen), I would put her in the crate calmly (make sure you NEVER use the crate as punishment), and I would repeat the process again. It took me about three weeks, but I finally got her potty trained. You will housebreak your Beagle too. I thought my dog was going to be impossible to train, but it was easy! Good luck! Know better?
