Because he's 13 weeks old.duh.Babies are babies!
maybe your puppy has a bladder infection--or diabetes-you might want to have the pup checked by a vet!
Puppies of all types pee a lot more often than older dogs. This won't go away until it's about 8months to a year. However there are ways to make the beginning a lot easier. I used puppy pads for my puppy indoors. They are like diaper mats that you lay in the house. You train your puppy to use those and then eventually you can make the transition to the outdoors. My puppy would try to chew and move the puppy pads around so I ended up buying a frame for them that holds them in place. At first I was really frustrated and wondered how I would ever get through the process. It really does make it easier though. Also, if you are going out for awhile and know that your puppy will most likely need to pee before you get home, place a puppy pad in the back of its crate(that is if youve bought a proper sized crate that the puppy can fully turn around in and has room to grow into). That way it's bedding won't get distroyed and the mess will be easier to clean up. Good luck!
That's completely normal. As a general rule, the number of hours a puppy can normally wait to go outside is equal to their age in months. A one month old puppy can wait about an hour, 2 months-2hours and so on.
Housetraining a puppy can be difficult, but stay determined and have patience. It may take a while to housetrain him (or her), but it will pay off in the long run.
At the age your puppy is his bladder is very small. When he drinks his bladder fills almost completely and he has to go potty. If you leave his water down all the time you will not know when he has to go. When you feed him put down his water and then take him out about 15 -20 minutes after he finishes. When he is running and playing, give him some water and take him out. When he wakes from a nap, take him out and this is going to help him learn what he has to do. Crate training is also a good way to help your pup through this stage.
It is not mean to put your puppy in a crate because to him it is a safe place. Do not put water in the crate with him, As soon as he gets up, take him out. If you cannot keep an eye on him, put him in his crate. Puppies do not like to eliminate where they sleep.
Persistence and patience are the sure way to get your puppy to potty train.
Good luck and don't give up, he will get the idea.
I think that you should take your puppy to the vet to make sure there are no physical problems. If there are no physical problems, what you'll need to do is to be patient and keep watch over your dog. When he/she seems to be squatting, pick him/her up immediately and take her/him outside. Give the dog time out side. You may have to do this a lot. Your puppy is young and it takes a while to house break a pup.
Some people paper train their dog, but that is double work. First the dog learns to go on the paper. Then when it's old enough, you remove the paper and he has to learn not to go on the floor. That would confuse a dog.
I've also heard that if you put your dog in a dog crate, they will not urinate in there because they won't soil their home. You can't leave him in there for hours, especially since he's still a puppy.
Go to the library and check out some books on training puppies. I'm sure you'll find a lot of material.
Good luck and don't be hard on him/her.
It's a puppy. His bladder is the size of a marble. Just like a human newborn goes through ten or fifteen diapers a day, a puppy has to relieve itself many times throughout the day. You can try crate training, but the key here is to take your puppy outside about 20 minutes after each feeding, or whenever you see it starting to sniff around on the floor (a signal that means he's looking for some place to pee). And when you do take it out, wait a while for it to do it's business, and then PRAISE your dog.
Most puppies have to urinate often. They have small bladders.
No, you should never beat your dog. Or any animal for that matter, for any reason.
I suggest crate training your puppy. Here are some helpful sites:
Being so young they don't have much muscle control of the bladder yet.This is normal and will improve as he ages.You shouldn't expect a 3 month old puppy to be house broken yet.Give him time and be persistant.The fastest way I house train a dog is when you leave,cofine him to a crate(large enough for him to stand and lie down)and THE MINUTE you get home let him out and lavish him with praise.Dogs generally do not soil the area they sleep in.When you are home I wouldn't leave him in the crate,so its up to you to be diligent about letting him out every half hour or so,and again praise him when he goes.Good-luck
small bladder
how often do you pee ? and how about when you were a baby? You don't beat a puppy; if you are already thinking like this when he is just a pup, find a good home where your puppy will have an owner who knows and/or took the time to find out about raising puppies before getting one. Having a puppy takes time, effort, understanding and patience. There are far too many irresponsible dog owners. Never lay a hand on your dog - do you like it if someone beats you?
