Mate, we had trouble with our JRT and lakey cross as pups, so bought one of those wee cages and lined it with paper, fair enought they still did a mess in a corner but then we started to leave the door open, so they could wonder onto paper in the kitchen, and they started to use the same area in kitchen ,until they where house trained, didnt take all that long, if you can leave the back door open after you have had in him out at9pm for a bit this way he can wonder in and out .Any chance you can send some photos of your pup as the wife loves these wee dogs, am still looking for one. cheers lindsay

Do a search for 'barf' or 'raw feeding' on this site, there is alot of very good info on it

Brilliant i know what to feed him do you no how to get him to just wee on paper in the nite?????????

Sounds like he needs a torch, no joking aside cover the whole area with paper and as he become more toilet trained reduce the paper

and as Frank said he is very young some pups are still with their parents or siblings at that age.

Hes not at night he does it all over the floor

[skycat 6,174]

If he's doing it all over the floor then it could be that he's stressed on his own at night: is it pitch dark in your kitchen. Confine him to one small area either in a cage or with fireguard type barriers. Cover that area with paper like has already been suggested. Put a small bed in one corner of the area.

At night, leave a dim light on low, and a radio on low to make him think he's not alone. Make sure he's happy, and just as importantly, tired when he goes to bed: have a good play just before bedtime, take him out to pee etc then bed him down for the night. They soon get into a sensible routine if you stick to it.

 

My little pups are taken out at midnight then again at 6am: every night until they are about 5 months old.

 

The other problem is that in the winter it is cold, wet and miserable outside: not much incentive for a pup to go out to pee and crap. The more he does it in the house the more he gets into the habit of doing it just anywhere: confine his mess to one small area and you break that habit.

 

I recently took on a pup of 12 weeks that had lived in a shed and did it wherever he pleased: he's been really difficult to house train for obvious reasons as he had never learned that you don't crap and pee where you live. He is now about 5 months old and we're finally getting there, though he'll still have the odd pee inside by the back door if I don't physically take him outside.

 

Teaching the 'go and pee' command can really help too. Take the pup out as soon as he wakes up tell him to 'do wees' (the command I use) and keep saying it until the pup does, the minute it does pee or crap (I use the same command for both) I tell the pup 'good dog' in a low gentle voice so as not to distract it but let it know it is doing the right thing.

 

You'd be amazed at how quickly they learn to pee on command as they start off associating the word with the action whilst they actually peeing. If follows on from there.

 

Dont forget that a pup of your pup's age needs to pee very frequently and some pups do seem to need to go more often than others: smaller bladder? Everyone's different to a slight extent.

 

Cut out any processed food with additives in them as most have powerful flavour enhancers/salt etc not to mention all the E additives and colourings: dry food will also make a pup drink more than it actually needs as the body needs to compensate for eating all that dry sh*t. All this stuff needs flushing through the body as nature knows that the stuff is not good for a body! (My theory!)

 

And lastly: patience: you were in nappies for longer than this little chap will be a pup! I'd expect a pup to be clean by 6 months at the latest, and allow for a lapse in cleanliness when he starts teething as that sets them back a bit.

 

Hope this helps.

let him out as late as possible i used to let mine out at 11 and then again at five in the morning. also when i first got my pup i put the radio on for him on the night. seemed to settle for the night with it on. i got my pup at 4 week old he was house trained at 12 week also if you get up for a pee in the night pop down and let him out.

we have a whippet beddy greyhound pup who is also nine weeks old, she is really good during the day and night although i am at home to keep letting her out and we have found that if we crate her at night she will not fowl in her bed unless she is busting, we let her out about at six in the morning and put her out befor bed about eleveish. we were told never to give our pup pedigre as it can cause lots of poo! we have slowly put our pup onto dry food with small a amount of raw meat and she loves it. good luck with your pup he looks a cracker.

i also use the "have a pee command" with max since he was 5 weeks old, now at nearly 7 month i tell him to "have a pee" when it is his bed time, he goes out and comes back in and goes into his cage no problem. i have caged him since day 1 with the door closed. half of the cage had his bedding and the other half had news paper and the training pads to soak up the pee. within a matter of weeks he stopped peeing in his cage and held on till he was let out in the morning.
