How will i train my 7 week old puppy to now go out side?
If you’ve had your puppy for a week, does this mean you got him as a six week old puppy? Puppies need to be with their mothers for 8 weeks or more. Mama dog teaches her litter about bite inhibition and social skills. If you don’t have the option of bringing him back for another week or two, you’ll have to work extra hard to ensure that your dog becomes well-socialized and well-mannered. Teaching your dog to go on newspapers is an awful idea. Your pup is a lab, do you still want him to think newspapers are fair game when he weighs 50 pounds? Bad weather or not, as an adult he’s going to need to learn to go outside, so taking your dog outside now when he’s young is essential. Crate training your puppy will speed up house training. All dogs need their “dens” and a crate fills that void. Most dogs will not eliminate in their “dens” which is why crate training is so helpful.
