How would I puppy train a 10 week old puppy where their environment is in an apartment on the 3rd floor, so it’s hard to get them outside when they start sniffing
Love the border Collie picture. My mutts half bc😊
I AM SICK AND TIRED UNLESS YOUR WATCHING 24/7 YOU CANNOT PREVENT PUPPY FROM POPPING INSIDE. IT SO STRESS OUT! I GOT A SOLUTION! 😮💨🤥😵😵💫 I WAS NOT WATCHING BUT IT JUST COME AS A SURPRISE.
Ol9oooo😊
@@Panda-xp8yr😊
I started with pads. But then I just watched the puppy. Everytime I saw her sniffing around on the floor, I scooped her up and brought her outside. As soon as she peed or pooped, I praised her and rewarded her with a treat. After a week, no more accidents.
I have to try that!
@@meena.dwdn1 if you have carpets, get a special carpet cleaner for pet messes that kills the enzymes. Otherwise, your dog will continue to go on the carpet. I bought one called Bubba's commercial pet cleaner. It works great. Wash your carpet first with it, then closely watch her. As soon as she starts sniffing around, scoop her up and bring her outside. As soon as she pees, just call her by name and say, "Good girl!" And hand her a treat. Repeat when she poops. If she poops on the floor, pick it up and just bring it outside on the grass. She'll smell the poop on the grass and get a signal of where she is supposed to go. I have a fenced in yard, so she is now free to come in or out as she pleases.
@@sharonrinkiewicz3940 Thank you so much!
@Rachel Kay Yeah I just got my puppy monday and she chews the up 😭💀✋🏽
I saw this same exact comment on the other video that Rachel did lol
One thing I hate about the Internet is people bragging about having their puppy house trained in 2weeks. It defeats everyone dealing with different environment and different pup personality/health/breed.
Today's been hard for me and my pup. I didn't get her to poop outside once today, she did it on the living room every time and just moments ago she ate her poop. I really need a house line. I feel like a terrible owner.
I know. Ours took 2 1/2 weeks
So agree
Yeah I know right. Stop bragging. Also y are they watching this video...
You could just consider them blessed and move on:)
The best piece of wisdom I’ve learned watching all these videos as a new puppy owner, is that if they have an accident, it’s my fault. The puppy is doing what it’s supposed to do. He’s a baby, he’s got a small bladder, he gotta go lol if he has an accident, it’s bc I either wasn’t watching close enough or I wasn’t fast enough. He’s doing great tho, thanks to all these tips I’m learning!
I’m the same way
Literally the same, he follows the schedule, i dont. But were better now and hes only 10weeks 🥹 🐶 i love him soo much.
Nah my dog is broken I guess. She’s be playing and give absolutely zero signs and just squat out of nowhere. I catch her ever single time. Grab her and bring her outside. She never goes.
@@Swole_Cole_ Exactly, caught him in the act many times but if he's stopped while peeing, he just stops. Also, many time he knows where he's supposed to go and goes there to do his business, I give him treats and think "Yeah, he's trained!", but other times, he just runs out, sniffs for a while then comes back in and does it right in the room.
My pup spends 45 minutes outside and then comes inside and pees. Fix that.
If you’re watching and frustrated or feeling like it’s not working , I watched this when my puppy was 8 weeks, and started to try with minor improvements , it was like a switch flipped in her head and my last puppy around 12-13 weeks. So I just watched this again, and it really Helped, if you’re at the 8ish weeks mark, hang in there and stay at it ! Then come back to refresh yourself, seemed to really help !
Thanks SO much for sharing this - it's really important to know what not to do as well as what to do to ensure training puppies is done correctly. Thanks again, keep up the great work!
"How much is in there??" LOL Exactly what we've all wondered
The intro scenes with the puppy peeing twice on the floor is hilarious. I think it is very professionally staged
VM)
It was like real life!!
On grim
Hahhahahahhahahhahah the intro killed me 😂😂
I have a small dog so I had just pee pad trained her. I watched her like a hawk so she was fully trained in just 3 days. I was impressed by how quickly she picked it up and learned. As far as crate training I used to put her in there with a treat and 3 years later I still praise her when she goes in so it's become a pleasant and rewarding experience for her.
@Richard Kobylt knock it off lol
Its all about consistency. The more work you put in the quicker and betterresults you get.. this nobody ljmes waking up several times in the middle of the night to make sure their dog does their business. But its necessary in order to train..
i loved the phrase "your puppy isnt trying to be defiant"... um, yes, she is! ours has started revenge peeing!!! if you tell her no one too many time (chasing the cat, chewing on a chair, just flat out biting) one too many no's and she's squatting while she stares at us!
Omg 😂😂😂😂
That’s submissive peeing
I had a dog who was a revenge pooper. If you corrected him for some misbehavior, you may find a “present” next to your bed, on the side you sleep. It happened to me, my husband as well as our son.😅
😂😂😂
@@Sillyrequirements This is SILLY Silly! If you "find a present" next to your bed obviously at your house no-one was watching puppy! The instructions are: either puppy is in his crate or you are interacting with puppy with both eyeballs on puppy, ready to stop puppy from peeing or pooping inside the house. Excuse the pun but this is bs💩!
Our puppy does so well for a few days then goes inside the next day. Sometimes he goes potty outside then 5 min. Later goes on the carpet
My puppy Luna does the same thing.
Fricken same.. second puppy. It just takes some time and patience.
mine will go outside then goes inside 10 mins later ;-;
Looks like everyone is experiencing the frustration I had yesterday
consistency is key.
Thank you Ken. Just brought our puppy Beagle home for a week now. Your videos are so helpful.
Have fun! beagles are the best but be prepared to have your patience tested LOL, they're way smarter than they seem and will take advantage of any moments of weakness XD
I'm puppy sitting/training my mom's puppy rn and she's so so good! I know her signals - she crouches down and rushes as if looking for a toilet and she whines at me when she needs to go. She goes almost as soon as I put her down. She's the best dog and the easiest to train so far.
My dog is better lol 😂 he’s a rescue dog and he’s a GSD lab mix.❤️ got him the day before yesterday.
@@dis_shiba_tho-8397 My mom's is a GSD mix, too! They're great dogs - super smart and eager to learn! Congrats on your dog!
aww Tysm!! Sorry if I sounded rude in my last Comment. I’m sure your dog is great too!!
Straight to the point. Love it. Others just talk and talk about other things
Omg just the beginning made me love your channel ! Super excited to watch more videos ! Happy I found you !😇
First day of our puppy now, you are being helpful
Thanks. Working with our two puppies on this. Good so far.... Appreciate your work.
Watching this one makes me really appreciate McCann Dog Training's addition of timestamps. Great feature add in later videos.
Your videos bring about the biggest change❤️
By far the best video on biting puppies and house training. I especially like the idea of keeping the leash on to control the biting . Great tips and ideas. I've seen so many vids but this one trurly is the best.
@McCann dog training this is the best advice ever and thank you 😊
House line is a game changer! We're still not quite there, I just missed one because I took my eyes off her to have a swig of water. I knew it was coming so I should've known better.
Literally googled "how to stop puppy from peeing inside" because I went to poop and my puppy followed me and as I was pooping she starred me in the eye and pooped next to the washing machine because she knew I couldn't do anything about it🤦♀️
😂😂 ,Funny AF
Omfg 😭😂
Your puppy would have assumed that it's the place to go to the toilet, cute story though
@@ITZZZJOHNYYYYY yeah I’m pretty sure that was the case 😂 we stopped giving her access to the bathroom and she stopped going in there and was fully house trained and after about 2 months we started giving her access again but she doesn’t go in there anymore just outside thankfully 😂
Thank you Ken, puppy training can feel like banging my head against a wall sometimes. I just have to remember to be patient & consistent, success is incremental!
How’s your dog now?
Going through this now 🤦♂️
Do u crate ur puppy ?
Thanks brother. That waiting by the door and waiting for some kind of sign is going to be the game changer for me b
NO DOOG YOU
These videos are so super helpful! Thank you!
7 week old puppy is doing amazing! Only 1 accident and has been home for 2 days. Thank you!!
Hello Lauren how are you doing today
I am so glad I saw this video, this is what I have been doing with my 8 week schnauzer for a week now and he is doing great! I am so proud of him!
How's your schnauzer going? I picked up ours yesterday!
@@ladysuzilyon how’s yours going ? Picking mine up next week!
Schnauzers are my favorite dogs! They are smart and living. I always adopt, and tried to find a Schnauzer, but they’re pretty popular.
How 8 weeks going out side. I curios cuz I’m having trouble with my mini schnauzer peeing on carpet Instead of peepads. But worried about parvo and etc.. ?
I just got a puppy and I was feeling a failure because I can't house train him. I'm so glad I found this channel . I can do this 😎👍
How it’s going?
@@maple8859 It’s going better Maple. We are in a routine now. He’s still not fully house trained but my attitude to it is improving. He’s learning the routine of the house and loving his walks so we’re getting there. Thanks for asking.
@@CDash162 thank you for the update! Good luck! Getting a toy poodle in a month and gathering as much info as I can. It seems I’ll have to start saving some patience for future use.

What if you don’t use a crate? I have a 4 month old, apparently she goes to the balcony earlier than I take her out to the spot where I want her to pee. Today I realized that when i come from upstairs she get really excited and after q little while she pees again. I figured that’s a new sign. Another thing I’m really struggling with is the biting and jumping on my kids.
My new puppy is really good with notifying us when he needs to go to pee he cry’s and goes to the door and he doesn’t use the pads
Why does my dog pee allot inside be very little outside? Quantity wise. Don't know how to really word this.
You're so easy to listen to and understand!! Alot of people I have to skip through because they're talking about random things

Got super lucky with my pup. From an early age he always preferred to go bathroom outdoors. Easiest training.. was super intimidated glad I got a good boy.
The puppy I've had for six days now has only had one indoor accident, only a little and thankfully on the tile floor because he was overly excited. Took him out to finish. That was on the second day and is still his only accident so far. Hes catching the hang of it really well so far.
Lucky you
A puppy really is a 24/7 job. Good Video, most of it was common sense but you pointed out some key things
I have been in a panic with my puppy knowing the puppy pad but still going where he wants! Looking directly at me after trying to take him out on each of my work breaks! Thank you so much!!!!
If you can’t see it, you can’t fix it. Simple and helpful!
This video helped me out a lot thank you so much
😂 My pup gets incredibly distracted outside. With literally EVERYTHING. Rock? Eat it. Stick? Eat it. Literally ANYTHING? Eat. The. Damn. Thing.
Same
Same. Same same same.
Same
Same so my puppy barely goes potty in the grass and only goes potty on our patio bc theres nothing there 😭
Same. LOL. EVERYTHING seems to be a distraction. I'm glad it's not just us. Don't get me wrong, he does great by peeing at least a little every time we go out, and we go out a lot. Over 15 times a day. But getting to his spot is a chore sometimes. Him trying to eat leaves, flowers, bugs, etc. are bad enough, but here in FL we have a gazillion little lizards everywhere and he wants to chase every one of them. 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you finally a video that actually helps

@@kelvingold4657 Hi Kelvin
Knowing HOW LONG to train for is an important part of the puppy training process. And it’s different for EVERY dog! Click here for a quick tutorial on this step: kzhead.info/sun/p9udpJmoq2ageq8/bejne.html
Thank you for sharing, sir. ~ I have a 15 week old sheltie, and have had him for almost two weeks. He is almost potty trained outside; however, the yard in the back yard (fenced area) is in such poor condition for a puppy that puts everything in his mouth (from sticks, limbs, large areas of grassless ground because of trees...and now ants. :( ) A large and nice piece of fesque turf grass was purchased and placed on the back deck. Do you believe it'll be easy to train him to go on the turf grass (which was the reason for the purchase)? And if so, do you have any tricks/ideas? - Thank you again so much in advance. :)
Thank you so much for this informative video !!
I have to treat my 2 year old rescue like a puppy and house train them from scratch. I understand some of it is probably because they are new to my home… but definitely using these videos to my advantage! Thank you.
what I have started doing is put the dog right into the crate while I clean up so she has her 5 seconds to think of pottying in the house = kennel..Idk if it's gonna work but I get to spend alot of time with my dog and she get's alot of attention. she didn't have that in her previous house. I hope it makes a difference.😊 I'll let u know.
This is great content. Please keep up the good work sir
Really helpful thank you so much
This was very awesome! Thank you for your tips and videos it is much appreciated!

Thanks for giving me hope... 👍
Thanks for your candor...It helps me know I'm not alone...was beginning to wonder if I was the only new puppy owner that couldn't mentally handle it🤔😅🙃 Was getting worried about myself not to mention exhastec

I hear ya! I’m on day three with my Rottie puppy and she is good but I can’t wait until she starts asking.
@@Jazzykatt23👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 rotties are wonderful
Very true. I didn't pay close attention to my puppy one day and he went to the next door neighbour to score heroin. Over the next few months my pup would wait until I was at work to steal whatever valuables I had and sold it at the pawnbrokers to get more heroin. Now, some 8 years later my Bull Arab is smashing things around the house when I don't give him money and I am genuinely scared for my life.
the beginning was so relatable 😂
Great advice, thanks for this video.
Hello Melly how are you doing today
Man idk if I can do this haven't got the puppy yet was supposed to go pick him up today but after watching this idk man I have a 4 year old and a 12 month old. Idk how I'm going to watch the dog like a hawk especially when my husband is at work
Did you end up getting a dog I’m in a similar situation
One year for Christmas, we put bells on the outside door. Our German Shepherd just started to ring it to go outside, she trained herself! Every time she has to go, she rings the bell. We are getting another puppy in about a month, we are gonna also train the baby to ring the bell, just like her older sis.
Hello Sarcastic how are you doing today

Hello Liza how are you doing today
Thank you!
Thanks, really good information, let me know I have to be more strict with my routine, my challenge is my dog is deaf, we do the go outside thing every morning and several times throughout the day and he goes most times we take him out, the problem is how do I let him know when he has an accident that he did something we don't want him to do, he's a hit and runner so it's hard to catch him in the middle of the act so we have just been picking him up and taking him outside and don't feel like he knows why so we are just stuck with keeping him being tethered to us, wanting him to have the run of the house. Thanks again for all the information you provide.
Thank you
My puppy is almost 5 months old, I got him four days ago and am working on potty training. He came already knowing the crate, a bit shy but is blossoming without the other dogs he was with. He came from a kennel in Mexico and hasn't had much human interaction and I am working on turning that around because he is a beautiful soul, he is really a great puppy. He has so far only had 2 accidents in the house. 1 because I didn't see if he needed to potty before bringing him inside my house the first day and 2 because I was trying to get my son dressed and didn't move fast enough when he decided he needed to potty. But so far he is doing rather well, perhaps it is due to his age but im not sure. We do have potty pads out where he peed (after cleaning it of course) just in case but he does whine when he's looking for a spot so I know and have learned his cues before he does his urgent whines.
Hello Elika how are you doing today
Hi Ken and Kayl! Love your vids. I'll be getting a puppy ten days from now - sooo excited! I have a crate like the one you show at about 5:40... Do you have any practical ideas how to block that extra space? I'm guessing a pillow or anything chewable is not a great idea :-D
They are good tips to follow
The only issue I ever had with house training is that when I first got my puppy is was fall/winter, and the particular week that I got him it was very cold and rainy outside, so he didn’t want to go outside at all, and he was only 4 pounds so we didn’t want him to freeze or anything. He was so tiny even extra small dog coats or sweaters were too big on him. Once the weather became a bit nicer the next week, he learned to do his business outside extremely quickly. Being that he was tiny, he constantly got into things and under things, so someone had to be watching him at all times, so we would put him in a pack’n’play for short times(like 10 min max) when we had to do things. He didn’t like that. He would pee in the pack’n’play because he knew we had to take him out to clean it. We didn’t use the pack’n’play for very long lol. The only issue we have now is that he will pee or poop inside when he is mad at us. We will take away a toy he really likes because he has chewed it into pieces and we don’t want him swallowing them, and then he will pee because we took it away lmao.
Yes!!!! Finally someone else comments about the “defiant/manipulative/retaliatory peeing.” 😂 My chi does this and it’s so hilarious (and frustrating) to me that dogs are smart enough to figure stuff out like that. I tell my chi “you definitely are smart enough to know better,” so I take toys until she is accident-free for 3 days straight.
thank you so much for the advice, i got a golden retriever pup and his last accident was 2 months ago!
My neice sheltie puppy Is 8mth still bites n destructive pl help so cute brown n white want to rehome the dog
Hello. I have been watching pretty much every video you guys have. They are very helpful. We just got a Doberman puppy at 8 weeks. He is now almost 10 weeks. We live in Illinois and it’s cold outside. I am having trouble potty training because he does not want to go out at all even for treats. We have a coat for him. What can I do to get him to want to go out? It’s only been 2 weeks but he hates outside. Thanks.
So helpful thanku
Does using grass mats serve as a good medium between training to use outside vs the use of potty pads?
That intro preached to my soul
I have an adult dog (3 years old) who I rescued yesterday. Her whole life was spent inside, she never saw outside until recently. After a lot of treats and praise she is now happy outside (although sometimes she freezes up). The issue is, I believe her previous owner had her go to the bathroom inside her whole life, now when she is outside she holds it even if she needs to go, I’ve even spent 2 hours with her outside when I knew she had to go and she whined to go back inside to poo. :(
Going through the exact same thing, if mine goes outside he has to aim for landmarks like furniture to piddle on. After 4 months any results?
@@madisonbailey2686 oh wow... I would love some feedback on this myself! have ya'll had any luck?
Praising for the right choice and correcting for the wrong choice are equally important.
I got my puppy at 3 months old and took me 2 weeks to train her (on a pee pad). I didn’t study, didn’t work, only stayed at home with her while sleeping in the living room next to her. It was tough. But I was happy because I felt like she understood and did well. A couple of months ago, she started doing at the border of the pad (like it would touch the floor) but I didn’t think much of it because it was still in the pad. But last week, at her 7 months, she suddenly started doing it everywhere! Everyday in the sofa and every other day in the living room floor, her pad always clean. Yesterday I took her outside for 8 freaking hours. Not once she wanted to pee. I supervised her and no pee nor poop, and went to bed like that. Not peed until the next day. Right now I am literally crying because she just doesn’t want to listen anymore and my sofa is ruined and I keep cleaning the floors twice a day and my exams are coming soon and even though I stay at home, she pees every time I go to the bathroom or leave to drink water, I cannot even correct bc I just don’t see when she pees. I don’t hate her, I love her, but rn I hate this situation and can’t help but cry really hard...
Are you able to take her outside to do her business? Forget the pads. Go directly outside. Its hard but you need to watch for signals. Take her out on a schedule every 2 hours minimum. Be as boring as possible. Follow the video tips. Good luck.
May have a UTI. Take her to the vet to have her checked out
Totally understand, we aren't perfect and neither are the dogs. It happens. Get a playpen so she doesn't have the run of the whole house! You need to have some me time and stop worrying about the pee time.
Excellent video!!

Interesting thanks
I have min pin puppy’s and if I put down pee pads they just chew them up. They are only 8 weeks old. During the day they are pretty good as I can bring them out every 2 hours but as night comes it is harder for some reason as then they go inside sometimes.
“Potty training is pretty easy!” Dog: Did I stutter..?
HELPPP!!! Accidentally trained my dog to only pee on the pee pads - I've tried taking her outside, but she'll legit wait until she's back inside to pee on them again :(
Maybe take a pad and put it in a certain spot outside??? It’s a lot of work but since she only pees on pads rn that could help introduce her to peeing outside and that it’s okay. And then after awhile maybe take away the pads and lead her to the same spot outside and see what she does. Just a suggestion :)
My grandmother's dog was the same way! We slowly moved the pad closer and closer to the door, and then moved it outside and that helped a ton.
I've heard moving the pad progressively towards the door, then put the pad outside the door, then remove it completely, so they will go outside. (Didn't try this myself, never used pads)
Same lol
Using pee pad is not good idea. Your mistake is your teaching the puppy it ok to potty in the house. Pee pads are unsanitary the smell will get on the floor and it cause bacteria in the house.
I am losing my mind trying to train our new 14 week old Labradoodle. We just got her 3 days ago and I'm already going Nuts! To start with, she has diahrrea. She's been fully vaccinated but, was very stressed the day we brought her home, into the next day. I also think she's eating a different food than what they had her on? So, she's adjusting to that. She is very active, happy, and healthy...IMO. She has pooped outside and peed outside, but still goes in the house. I feel like my entire house is just a shitpad now. No matter how much I clean! I ordered a crate that will be here tmrw, thank God. We have been taking her outside every 1-2 hours...so, im just feeling so lost and defeated. I love this pup! She is very sweet! My husband and I have been off work the past 3 days, and tmrw...but he goes back Friday and I'll be working from home but, can't watch her the entire time I'm working. AND, it's been raining here everyday since we brought her home, OF COURSE!!! Ugh! Are we just supposed to live outside while we potty train her??? Lol! I mean, really though??? This just really really sucks. Sorry. Clearly I just really needed to vent. I feel like we are doing all the right things so far...so, I'm not sure what the hell else to incorporate except the crate that will be here tmrw.
Thanks for these helpful videos. My puppy will be 10 weeks old tomorrow, so we've just been working on potty training since I brought her home, two weeks ago. Our weather (IL) just went from unseasonably warm to cold and windy, and I'm dreading that we may have some snow in a couple days. She was doing pretty good when it was nice outside, but has started running away from me when I pick her up for "outside" now because she hates the cold. I'm guessing there aren't any miraculous cures for this? I've put a pee pad area in my garage, thinking that maybe that can be a secondary "outside" for really bad days? I've taken her out there for practice and she's really just more curious about the garage than any interest in peeing there. I'm not sure if there is any advice you can give or if I'm just here to vent, LOL! But in any case, thanks!
Hello Barb how are you doing today
The pick them up part of the advice was funny. We have two four month old pups who are 35-40lbs now. They seem to have gotten the idea that outside is better, but they will tank up on the water and then Pee in the house. All the information says to offer them free access to water, but this just means free access to peeing. Maybe if we got a puppy union negotiator to compromise and give us a truce…
Exactly
Thanks for the great videos. I would love to know the key commands I should aim to teach my new puppy in the first few weeks. Not wanting to overload and fail. Thanks
Total opinion but leave it, drop it and stay are probably the best commands to teach first. Of course they don't have to be taught in that order. it'll really help for when your pup is about to eat something dangerous or super icky like their own poop. I'm dedicating this week to teaching my stubborn samoyed drop it, in the week we've had him he knows sit and semi leave it (he'll only do it with his treats so far!). So I'm guessing drop it will take more work if he thinks whatever he has is higher value than the treats lmao.
Hello Sarah how are you doing today
I used your advice for potty training and it worked great. However, I have two questions and I’d love advice from the community. First, my puppy alerts me to go outside all the time now, even when he doesn’t have to go. What do I do? Second, now that he’s trained for outdoors how do I start training on the puppy pads indoors?
It could be that you have allowed mixed associations with going outside to potty, for instance going to potty and then have playtime outside immediately after. I saw a video where they said it's very important to keep trips outside using your potty keywords to only that purpose and then having outside playtime a completely seperate occasions /adventure for your puppy :)
