FREE Potty Training! SIT MEANS SIT.com Dog Training Temecula 951.246.8223

           Potty Training: 101

               From SIT MEANS SIT.com  Dog Training, Temecula

                  p: 951.246.8223 

Potty Training may be one of the most frustrating, yet common challenges you will face when introducing a puppy into your home.  Let’s start by discussing things pet owners should not do.  Try to avoid using newspaper or puppy pads, which can mislead your dog into believing it is okay to relieve himself inside your home.  Secondly, do not punish the dog for pottying in the wrong place and never rub the dog’s nose in.  If you are going to be away from home for long periods of time, it is important to be consistent in following these simple steps.

 

Step #1—Management System 

     One of the first things you should do is establish a management system or “Den Space”.  (A crate or kennel is usually the best type)  The crate or kennel should be just large enough for your dog to easily stand up and turn around.  A crate that is too big or using a large crate without a divider will give your puppy the opportunity to relieve himself in the crate.  A crate with a removable divider, allowing the interior of the crate to grow as your puppy matures, will be the best solution.   A playpen or even a small bathroom, are also options for a “Den Space”.  If you choose either of these den spaces, make sure they are “puppy-proof,” or free of objects or materials that dogs can chew or destroy.

 

Step #2—Routine

Every time your dog comes out of his “Den Space,” you should take him to the designated “Potty” area.  In the Early stages of training, it is important to make both the exit door and the “Potty” area consistent.  Next, select a word or phrase to use as a command each time you take your dog outdoors to relieve himself.  The word “Potty” is most commonly used and may be the best choice.  Another phrase you might consider is, “Do your business.” An important step in this training is to use your word or phrase repeatedly, beginning the moment your dog is released from his “Den Space.” This will begin to teach your dog what exit to approach when he has to go.  Once your dog is outside, keep repeating your word or phrase.  Do not yell or use a questioning tone of voice, instead use a motivating voice.  When your dog begins to relieve himself, immediately start to praise him.  Do not wait until he is finished before giving him the positive reinforcement he deserves for going in the correct place.

 

A Word About Feeding:

An important part of defining your routine includes establishing a consistent feeding schedule.  Ideally you should feed your dog two times a day (For puppies: two to three times a day).  Leave the food down for only 15 to 20 minutes per feeding.  If your dog doesn’t eat within that period of time, remove the food until the next meal.  Don’t worry if your dog skips a feeding, he will eat when he needs to and within a couple of days he will be eating at mealtime.  If you don’t know when food goes in, you won’t know when it is ready to come out!

 

Step #3—Supervision

     While your dog is out of his “Den Space” it is important to supervise him.  Always be on the lookout for signs that your dog has to relieve himself, such as sniffing around or circling in place.   One fatal yet common mistake is giving your puppy too much freedom, too quickly.

 

Initially: 100% Supervision

When you first start potty training, don’t let the dog out of your sight, no matter where he is within your home.  You need to catch him in the act of relieving himself, in the wrong place, every time.  Supervision will eliminate unseen accidents and reinforce the rules of housebreaking.

 

Managing Supervision

If you can’t give your dog 100 percent supervision, tether him to a table or a chair with a leash.  This is ideal if you are eating a meal or just relaxing and watching television.  If you are preoccupied and cannot watch your puppy, keep him in his “Den Space”.

 

When Accidents Happen…

If you catch your puppy making a mistake, immediately take him to the “potty” area.  It isn’t necessary to correct or scold your dog when you catch him going in the wrong place.  If you find an accident after the fact, just clean it up and refer to your rules of supervision. Within these three steps, you will soon discover that the key to successfully housebreaking your puppy, comes down to one principal… Be Consistent!

 What do you do when your dog gets him/her self into an emergency situation?

Emergencies and First Aids

Even the best-cared-for dog may become sick or get injured at some point in his life. The AKC Pet Healthcare Plan can help you to help your dog when it’s most needed. If your dog falls victim to illness or accident, you will need to do what you can to get him out of immediate danger and keep him comfortable until you can get him to a veterinarian. You should also be prepared to care for you dog in the event of weather disasters or other emergencies.

Topics on this page:
  First Aid
  Canine First Aid Kit
  Poisons
  Evacuation Tips

First Aid

Restrain or muzzle the dog to keep him from panicking and struggling against you. You can make a muzzle out of panty hose, a cotton bandage, a necktie, or any sturdy piece of fabric about two feet long. Tie a loose knot in the middle, leaving a large loop. Slip the loop over the dog’s nose and tighten gently but firmly about halfway up the nose. Bring the ends down and knot under the dog’s chin, then bring the ends behind the back and tie again.

Transport an injured dog carefully to avoid causing further injury, so transport requires care. Place the dog on a piece of plywood or other hard surface to move him. Small dogs should be placed in a box. Towles or blankets can also be used as stretchers.

Artificial respiration must be performed when the dog is unable to breathe. The dog’s mouth should be checked and cleared of any obstructions, including mucus or blood. Hold the mouth closed, inhale, completely cover the dog’s nose with your mouth, and gently breathe out. Do not blow hard. Repeat every five to six seconds.

Heart massage (CPR) can be used in combination with artificial respiration when the dog’s heart has stopped beating. Lay the dog on his side, place hands over the heart area, and press firmly about 70 times per minute. For small dogs, place one hand on each side of the chest near the elbow. Press gently to avoid breaking the dog’s ribs.

External Bleeding should be staunched by applying gentle pressure from a cloth, bandages, or your own hand if necessary. Don’t worry about cleaning out the wound until the bleeding has stopped. Take the dog to the veterinarian as quickly as possible. Antibiotics may be needed to stave off infection.

Internal bleeding, from a fall or from being hit by a car or other heavy object, can be more dangerous. The dog may show these signs: painful or swollen abdomen, pale gums, blood in vomit, urine, stools, saliva, or nose discharge. Internal hemorrhage is extremely serious and should be tended to by a veterinarian without delay.

Shock occurs when the heart and blood vessels shut down. It can result from disease or injury. The signs are depressions, rapid, weak heartbeat, dilated pupils, low temperature, and muscle weakness. Respond at once by keeping the animal warm and quiet, treating any visible injuries, and taking him to the veterinarian.

Fractures require immediate attention. Dogs will hold a fractured or dislocated limb in an unnatural position; sometimes a broken bone is visible through the skin. The dog should be transported to the veterinarian with as little movement as possible.

Heatstroke may occur when dogs are left in cars on hot, or even warm, days; when kennel areas do not have proper ventilation; or when dogs are overexercised on hot days. The signs are rapid breathing, rapid heartbeat, high body temperature (above 104 degrees Fahrenheit), and collapse.

Dogs suffering from heatstroke must be cooled down as quickly as possible. Spray him with cool water, place ice around the belly, head, and neck. Stop cooling when the dog’s temperature reaches 103 degrees Fahrenheit. Call your veterinarian after administering the first aid, or better yet, have someone else call while you’re treating your dog.

Vomiting and diarrhea are usually signs of problems with the digestive system, and could be caused by any number of things, from the ordinary (spicy food) to the dangerous (poison). Dehydration from vomiting or diarrhea can be fatal. Make sure the dog has plenty of water. If neither condition seems severe, feed the dog a bland diet of plain cooked chicken and rice for 12 hours. If the condition does not improve after 12 hours, call the veterinarian.

Seizures cause a dog to losee control of his muscles. He may fall on his side and seem to paddle the air. Surround the dog with a blanket so he won’t hurt himself, but don’t try to handle him; he may bite in a reflexive action. Call your veterinarian.

Bee and Wasp Stings can be painful and frightening for a dog. Follow these procedures if your dog is stung:

  • Carefully remove the stinger with tweezers, if possible. (Only bees leave stingers.)
  • Make a paste of baking soda and water and apply to the area.
  • Apply an ice pack to relieve swelling and pain.
  • Comfort the dog until the pain has diminished.

Usually a single sting does not present a serious problem. If the sting is on the nose, mouth or around the head, watch your dog carefully to make sure that any swelling does not interfere with breathing or swallowing. If the swelling increases dramatically just a few minutes after the sting, see a veterinarian immediately.

Multiple stings can cause more damage, and may be life-threatening. If you see your dog disturb a hive or swarm of wasps or bees, call the dog to you and run, or, if necessary, pick up your dog and carry it away. Try to put distance between your dog and the swarm as quickly as possible. Once you and the dog are safe, get medical attention as soon as possible.

If possible, give antihistamines to your dog right away (Your veterinarian can give you a supply for your dog’s first aid kit, and advise you on dosage and administration). Then take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Treatment for massive stings usually involves intravenous catheterization, the administration of fluids, giving of corticosteroids and monitoring of vital signs. The goal of treatment is to prevent shock and circulatory collapse and to minimize damage to organ systems.

Poisons

Due to their natural curiosity and their tendency to consume anything they come across, dogs are at a high risk for accidental poisoning. Store all poisonous substances in your home, garage, and yard out of reach of your curious canine. If you suspect your dog has ingested a poison, call your veterinarian at once. The longer the poison is in the dog’s system, the more extensive the damage. These are some common poisons and their effects:

Insecticides and paraise medication. Flea and tick sprays, shampoos, and collars, and worm medications must be used according to directions. Signs of overuse of these chemicals are trembling and weakness, drooling, vomiting, and loss of bowel control.

Rodent poisons. Most rat poisons thin the blood so it is unable to clot. Making the dog vomit (ask your vet how to do this) before 30 minutes have elapsed will usually get rid of most of the poison. Poisons containing strychnine, such as those used for gophers, can cause rapid death.

Acids, alkalis, and petroleum products. Vomiting should not be induced if these products have been swallowed. You can give antacids - approximately two teaspoons per five pounds of body weight - to temporarily counteract acids. For alkali ingestion, use one part vinegar to four parts water, and administer as you would antacids.

Antifreeze. This sweet-tasting substance can leak out of parked cars, leaving an inviting puddle for wandering dogs. It is extremely toxic to dogs, even in small amounts. Call the veterinarian immediately. To prevent accidental ingestion, use an animal-safe antifreeze in your vehicles.

Evacuation Tips

Whether it’s wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes or floods, severe weather can mean immediate, sudden evacuation. You and your family may be forced to leave your home quickly to get to shelter or higher ground. Sometimes, you may have a few hours notice, and sometimes you may need to move more quickly.

If you live in a disaster-prone area, you may already have an evacuation plan for your family. But have you included your dog in that plan? Many shelters, including the Red Cross, do not accept pets (except service animals).

Here are some tips to prepare for an immediate evacuation.

Plan ahead

Remember that most emergency shelters do not accept pets. Call hotels in your area and in surrounding states to inquire about their pet policies. Once you’ve located a few hotels that will accept pets, write down the names, addresses, phone numbers and driving directions. Make sure to include alternate driving directions in case roads are blocked. If you can’t find a hotel, ask friends in the surrounding areas if you and your dog(s) can stay with them.

Microchip or tattoo your dog

Permanent identification is the best way to ensure a lost dog will be returned to you. Contact AKC Companion Animal Recovery for more information. AKC/CAR keeps a database of alternate contacts in case you are unreachable. If you plan to stay with out-of-town friends or family during an evacuation, use those names as one of your alternate contacts.

Assemble a disaster supply kit for your dog.

Take this kit with you should you need to evacuate. Include:

  • Leash and collar with ID tags
  • Current copy of vaccination records
  • Any medication your dog needs and written directions for dispensing medication
  • Photocopy of AKC registration papers and a copy of your dog’s enrollment papers for AKC/CAR
  • Recent photo
  • At least a three-day supply of food and bottled water. Don’t forget your dog’s dishes
  • Blankets and bedding
  • Crate with a few toys
  • Plastic "pick-up" bags

‘Teaching Your Dog To Swim’

 

Ryan McGuire and "Reverend" of Sit Means Sit Temecula are shown here in this video.  Ryan and "Reverend" are demonstrating how much fun you can have with your dog in and around the water.  It is a common misconception that " All Dogs Can Swim."  All dogs can do some form of a struggle to stay afloat, however there isn’t always confidence in the dog or the owners mind. 

 

Key principles for a dog to understand in and around water in order to have fun and be safe:

  • Entering the water on command
  • Exiting the water on command at a safe spot (i.e. The Stairs)
  • Swimming confidently with front and back legs in a horizontal position, not bobbing and splashing frantically.

SIT MEANS SIT Dog Training Temecula Valley Visits Wolf Mountain Sanctuary 951.246.8223

“Sungmanitu Tanka Oyata”

Please Remember… Extinction is FOREVER!

 

Sit Means Sit Dog Training Temecula Valley heads to Lacerne Valley, California to visit Wolf Mountain Sanctuary. In a remote little spot in the Lacerne Valley there are 16 wolves living in compounds where you can (for a small donation) learn about the wolves, experience howling, pet the wolves and a lucky few may even get a kiss from a wolf.

Intimidation sinks in when you have a 190 lb wolf staring down his long snout with those intense large eyes directly into your fear stricken soul. Once you realize they aren’t looking at you as another meal you will start to loosen up and enjoy the majestic beauty of these creatures. As a dog trainer it amazes me that these beautiful creatures are endangered in many parts of the world.
The Sanctuary is Located in the High Desert of Southern California. Wolf Mountain Sanctuary is a forever home for all the wolves they rescue. They rescue wolves from the movie industry, private owners and breeders.

Puppy Training and Housebreaking Rules

By Toni Drugmand & Fred Hassen  

Puppy Training – Training can begin as soon as your new pup comes home.

By 7 weeks of age, the puppy has a fully developed brain and nervous system. This is the optimum age for a puppy to leave his litter to begin his new relationship with you!

Boundaries Day one begins with setting boundaries and house rules that will be in place for a lifetime, start with essentials like house breaking.

House Training House training is easy to teach because dogs are clean by nature and don’t want to soil their den. The important issues with potty training (Housetraining) are close supervision and giving the pup the chance to go outside when he has to relieve him/herself. House training fails because owners give the puppy more freedom than he is ready for.

Crate Training Utilize a crate to replicate the “den” environment that dogs need and feel secure in. If the puppy is given the opportunity to get out of the crate when he needs to go, his natural desire to be clean and not soil the area he sleeps and spends time in will keep him from relieving himself in the crate.

Use the leash Take your puppy on a leash or long line to the area where he should eliminate every time you take him from his crate. Use a word to associate the action of going to the bathroom every time puppy goes, example :”go potty”. This word association will help when traveling, or out in public to cue your dog to relieve himself quickly. After he goes, praise him and reward with a treat, or toy. Distractions are mighty at this young age, so if he doesn’t go, put him back into his crate. Repeating the process in 15 minuets. Continue this way until you and your dog have a routine going. Success earns the pup freedom and time is gradually extended as he grows older and reliable. Don’t expect a puppy to go more than a few hours without having to eliminate, and don’t expect him to wait once he is out of his crate.

Puppy ManagementAn easy system for house training is to use a crate with a dog door and an enclosed dog run. The dog crate goes up to the dog door making sure the puppy can go through the dog door into a protectively enclosed environment. With the crate-dog door system setup, your puppy will quickly learn to let himself out of his containment area to relieve himself at the same time it will help develop independence.

Dogs are pack animals preferring to be with us rather than alone. Most canine “separation anxiety” would never develop if the dog, as a puppy, had been trained in this puppy management system. The puppy learns early to deal with being alone without the opportunity to dig, chew or destroy things. We want to help the puppy avoid mistakes that could develop bad habits and could easily have been prevented with good management.

Supervision When the pup isn’t in his crate, constant supervision must be used to teach what is important. The easiest way to do this is to literally tie or tether the pup to your waist with a leash or line, or tether him to a piece of furniture where he has no more than three feet of freedom in any direction. Watch carefully if the puppy is tied to avoid chewing. These are some of the first essentials for a good start with your new puppy. Enjoy him and give him a good start with safe and secure boundaries in your home!
