Training Your Westie, Paper Training[Index] [Puppies] [Housebreaking] [Paper Training] [Obedience] [Keywords] [Walking] [Behaviour] [Toys] [Barking] [pups] One of the most used methods of housebreaking is with the use of paper. You need to cover the entire floor of the room you are keeping your pup in. Use several layers and replace any soiled with fresh as soon as it is discovered. After 3 days remove some of the papers from one of the corners of the room. If your puppy chooses this area to defecate or urinate tell him "No" and place him back on the paper. For this to work effectively you must catch him doing it. Westie pups will not understand what you are trying to teach them if discovered minuets later. Simply clean up the mess and be ready for the next time. As your puppy learns to use the paper, gradually remove some more of the covered floor until only a small area of a few sheets are left. Let your puppy use this paper while you are teaching him to go outdoors. When your puppy seams to be understanding that outdoors is the correct place, remove the paper but watch for any signs that he needs to go out. He may look for the papers, or start turning in circles while sniffing the ground. He needs to be let outside immediately. |
