Housebreaking Your Miniature Pinscher
What
is the best way to potty train a small dog like a Miniature Pinscher?
Now,
you don’t have to be with her every second.
But gradually you will learn her signals, and she will learn your
rules. Min Pin
puppies have small bladders and weak muscles.
They aren’t going in the house out of spite (at first!); they really
just can’t hold it. It’s up to you to be
there and ready to take her out when she is ready to go. Question: How
long will it take to housebreak my Min Pin puppy? The
answer to this question is that the actual amount of time can vary, much like
when you are potty training a small child.
Some just take to it faster than others.
But you should give your puppy at least six months of a good, solid
effort on both parts. Question: I
adopted a rescued Min Pin and I’m afraid he has problems beyond what I can help
him with. For the week that he’s been
here, he’s only gone to the bathroom outside twice. Usually he just pees on the floor. Adopted
adult dogs may require even more patience and understanding than puppies. Some have been traumatized before the
adoption, by their abandonment or possible abuse. Others simply don’t know your home; they
don’t know where they’re not allowed to go, or are nervous and frightened by
their new surroundings. Be as
patient as possible. Spend lots of time
outdoors with your newly adopted dog, taking them for a walk once an hour to
give them a chance to relieve themselves outside. Praise your dog when they go outside. Eventually, they will get the hang of it,
though it seems frustrating at first.
After all, a fully grown dog makes a much bigger mess than a puppy! Question: I’ve
heard of so many different training techniques, I’m getting confused. What works best for a Min Pin? This is
one of the questions I am asked most.
There are different methods that will work; it’s a matter of choosing
one and being consistent. Trying for a
week and then deciding it just isn’t work isn’t really giving it your best
effort. It doesn’t mean the dog is
untrainable or dirty, they just aren’t ready yet! First
and foremost, learn your dog’s signals.
Does he whine just before he has a bowel movement? Does he seem to circle around looking for a
place to urinate? Different dogs have
different cues, so watch and learn yours well.
(There’s that constant attention and time factor again!) I’ve
listed several training methods below.
Read through them and decide which one will work for you and your
puppy. Much of this decision will depend
on the amount of time you have to dedicate to training.
