i cant seen to find good tips on training my new puppy?

see, 2 days ago i adopted a 4 month old puppy, its a Goldden Retreiver male mix...im keeping him inside with me but when i take him outside to pee or poop he just wanders around or just sets there...one time i walked him for like a whole hour..but he didnt do nothing...but when i took him in he pooped in my room....i just need some good tips or differnt ways of getting him to poop or pee outside. thx

Answer:
Crate train him. Just look in resolved answers. Basically you need to crate him in the house and not let him have free run. Take him out after eating and when he wakes up. If he doesn't "go" after 5-10 minutes, you take him back in on the leash and crate him. Try again in a couple hours.

Answer:
PUPPY CARE TIPS 1) Get the puppy comfortable in your home. Bring a blanket or dog bed to the breeder or pound from which you will pick up the puppy. Do this a few days before you pick up the puppy so that your new companion can sleep on the blanket and begin to get accustomed to your home before it even gets there. Play with your puppy before bed for the first week or so. This will help it expend some energy and sleep better. 2) Provide the puppy with food and water bowls and dry, comfortable bedding. If you have other pets, be sure to give the puppy its own bowls and bed to avoid conflict. The kitchen or bathroom is an ideal place for the bed because they generally are warm and have washable floors. 3)Provide a safe area for your puppy to play. A securely-fenced yard is ideal for most dog breeds, but some smaller breeds will be able to thrive with a play area indoors. Be sure to give your puppy some chew toys, and experiment a little to find which toys he or she likes best. 4) Handle your puppy with care. Puppies, like human babies, are fragile. Gently scoop up your puppy if you need to pick it up, keeping one hand under its chest. 5) Pet your puppy often. It's important to stroke your pet's body, legs, and head several times daily to make it feel loved, to bond with it, and to make vet visits (when the puppy will need to be handled) more comfortable. 6) Feed your puppy properly. Make sure your puppy always has adequate fresh water available. Feed your puppy small amounts of specially-formulated puppy food several times a day. The number of daily feedings depend on the puppy's age: 6-8 weeks: 4 times daily 12-20 weeks: 3 times daily 20+ weeks: 2 times daily The amount of food for each feeding depends on the breed. Feed your puppy only the smallest amount recommended for its breed, age, and size, and increase this if the puppy seems to be too thin or as directed by your veterinarian. 7) Make sure your puppy gets plenty of exercise. Different breeds require different amounts of exercise, and this is a factor you should consider when choosing a puppy. As puppies' bodies are still developing, try to avoid any sort of rough play or strenuous exercise such as long walks. Take the puppy into the yard or garden after meals, and begin taking your puppy for short walks about a week after its second round of vaccinations. 8)Make sure your puppy has all its recommended vaccinations. Your vet can provide more information on what vaccinations your puppy needs and when he or she should get them. 9) Keep your puppy worm- and flea-free. Talk to your vet about preventing worms and fleas or treating outbreaks. 10) Socialize your puppy. Once vaccinated, puppies should be encouraged to play with friendly puppies, grown dogs, and other animals. Make sure the other animal tolerates the puppy well, and do not leave the animals alone for even a minute at first. 11) Keep your puppy's environment sanitary. Air out your puppy's bedding daily, and wash or replace it weekly. House-train your puppy when appropriate, and immediately replace your puppy's bedding if he or she has had an accident in it. 12) Brush your puppy daily. Brushing keeps your pet clean and healthy and allows you to check its skin and fur for any problems. The type of brush and other grooming and washing requirements vary by breed, so check with your veterinarian or breeder for more information. Brush all over the puppy, including its belly and hind legs. 13) Watch for health problems. Keep an eye on your puppy and you can catch any problems early. The eyes should be bright, and the eyes and nostrils should be free of discharge. The puppy's coat should be clean and shiny; watch out for matting or thinning. Watch out for bumps, inflammation, or rashes on the skin, as well as signs of diarrhea around the tail. 14) Keep your puppy's teeth and gums healthy. Chew toys help a puppy keep its teeth healthy. Toothbrushes and toothpaste made specifically for dogs are also very helpful in keeping your pup's teeth clean and healthy. Be sure to acclimate your puppy to having their teeth brushed slowly so that it is a positive experience for them. 15) Protect your puppy. Puppies are naturally curious, and even with the most attentive care they sometimes get out of the yard and get lost. Make sure your puppy wears a comfortable collar--fitted at about 5 weeks and loosened gradually to accommodate the puppy's growth--with a tag listing its name and your address and / or phone number. Many jurisdictions require licensing of dogs, but it's a good idea to get your puppy licensed even if it's not required. You can also have a tiny microchip implanted in your puppy to assist in locating it if it gets lost. Tips *Different breeds have different needs, so be sure to consult a breeder or veterinarian for breed-specific care information. *Put newspaper down in the puppy's play area until the puppy is house-trained. *Chew toys will help curb your puppy's inclination to chew on your shoes and furniture. *Gradually build up the time you leave your puppy alone. Don't leave your puppy alone for several hours as soon as you bring him or her home. *Clean up after your puppy when you take it for walks. Use a scoop, bag, or gloves to pick up after it, as the fecal matter may contain parasitic worms or dangerous bacteria. WARNINGS *Puppies are a big responsibility, and so are the dogs that they become. The steps listed here are only a small part of what you will need to do for your pet. Make sure that you have ample time, money, and space to care for a dog before you get a puppy. Remember, you're making a lifetime commitment. *Only get puppies from a reputable breeder or from a pet rescue shelter or humane society. Disreputable breeders may mistreat animals, and the puppies may be diseased or may be represented as purebred when they are not. *Don't give puppies milk, as this may cause diarrhea. *Do not leave puppies alone for more than 3 hours a day or they will become lonely. They will also tend to destroy things around the house and cause all sorts of mischief. Never leave a puppy alone with a child or a dog that is not accustomed to the puppy or that doesn't tolerate the puppy well. *Don't force a puppy to play, especially when it's trying to sleep. GOOD LUCK!! :)

PUPPY TIPS?? N.e.1?

Im getting a puppy in the summer of 07 and i need some tips for it...Its prob gonna b a Lab or Golden...(I cant decide) and i work at home so i dont have a ton of time to take care of it...but enuf...so cud u please give me tips 4 a healthy puppy? ps. I mean...Like what food...what type of bed...etc...

Answer:
For the food, you don't want to get anything that has corn or cornmeal as one of the first few ingredients. Corn is just a filler and will make your dog go poop more, and we both know that it is unpleasant cleaning that up all the time. I have a small dog who doesn't eat a lot like big dogs, so I buy Natural Choice. You can only get that at a Pet store. It's a bit more expensive but it seems better for my dog. As for other info., don't leave toilet paper hanging down, things that they will chew on. My puppy chewed up the arms on an antique chair, passed down, and the toilet paper holder, and she doesn't like throw rugs. We bought our puppy an expensive bed, and she ended up liking just a comforter instead and won't lie down on the bed we bought her. So whatever you do, they can be picky, so don't spend a crazy amount of money on the stuff, they may not even use it. Anyways, good luck with the dog next summer.

Potty Training Your Puppy, Tips?

Potty Training Your Puppy, Tips From: Pet Lovers at "Pet Product Depot" 1. Teach your Puppy a specific word : Each time you want your new puppy to poop or urinate, try to repeat the same word over. You can use whatever words you want, like "go out" "go poop" "go potty". By repeating the same words each time, it will become another command for your puppy, and will be able to do it when you mention the command. 2. Take your puppy to the same spot every time. If you have had other dogs, or talked with other dog owners, you know that when a dog go pee on one spot on the carpet, they go back exactly at the same place over and over. Why? Because they recognize the smell, and it tells them to go back there. Now, knowing this, you need to do two things : take your dog outside for its pee/poop, and take her exactly at the same place each day. Your puppy will recognize her smell and know she has do pee there. Second, if your puppy pees somewhere inside, by accident,

Any pug puppy tips?

I'm getting a pug puppy soon, most likely a female. We already have a 2 yr. old Boxer. Does anyone have any tips/suggestions for me? This is the first time we're having more than one dog at a time, and I'll need tips on how to introduce our Boxer to the new puppy! Also, what are some things I should expect or be prepared for? Any pug-specific tips? Thank you!

Answer:
It is best to introduce your Boxer to the new pug away from your home at first. If your Boxer is socialized and deals with people well, ask the pug breeder if they mind you bringing the boxer over for a little introduction. This way your boxer and pug get their first meeting on neutral ground. Pugs are a wonderful breed and love to be loved. One of our neighbors has a boxer and pugs interact with him very well. Boxers can be very protective though. When we got our 2nd pug we were always trying to make sure we spent enough time with our 1st pug, making sure no one felt left out and we didn't try to over-do it with the puppy and our 1st pug. Baby pugs can be a bit nippy and sometime are a little overwhelming for another dog, so we did try to separate them a bit just to keep the little nipper at bay for a little while. We kept our puppy food in a different room from the adult pug, different nutrition levels and puppy food always looks really interesting to the other dogs. Pugs are wonderful, you won't regret having one. I have three!

Getting a puppy in the summer. Puppy tips? help?

I asked a couple of other questions about what breed suits my conditions and time best and i got alot of answers to that and decided just to go to the shelter and get a puppy from there, but i want it to be either part long-haired dachshund, jack russel, english cocker spaniel or sheltie. Do any of you guys have any expirience with those breeds or getting puppies from shelters? For example if i use an x-pen (doggy playpen) is that a good idea for when i leave the pup at home alone (not for a long time)? What is the best age the puppy should be at when i get it? Im thinking of getting in the summer so i could train it and spend more time with it and get to know it. What are some of the problems with puppies besides potty training. Do you guys have any tips? Info: I live in an apartment with alot of space I will walk the pup anytime I am gone from 8am-3:30pm but my mom will come to walk/feed and play with the pup during lunch at 11 or 12. More info: I have this dog park kind of thing with alot of grass and running space right downstairs of where i live and most people walk their dogs there. I will give the puppy alot of attention when im at home

puppy tips?

im about to get a new puppy , i already have it picked out (im naming it either shadow or onyx) its a male black lab , im getting him as soon as hes old enough , any tips for taking care of him , and things like that. I've had 6 black labs and a beagle bud i got all of them at 6months+ so i dont really know much about reall young dogs.

Answer:
make sure that you keep him in a smaller area. don't let him just roam around the place. when we got my puppy we kept her in the kitchen. we also carried her up the stairs, rather than make her walk. let hiim play outside a lot. make sure that he learns the difference between outside and inside. make sure that he gets enough sleepy time and also make sure that when he's outside and playing that he gets enough shade and water. i'm not sure if this will help, but this is how i took care of my puppy. she was a different breed though.

So im new to owning my own puppy his name is Rupert and hes an 8week old yorkiepoo :D my family owns a 7yr old shitzu but i was like 14 when we got him so i dont remeber him being a puppy! I just need alot of tips on my new baby..im so stressed out with everything and what i should do! I know hes just a baby and he will grow out of this stage but any help and tips would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks guys!

Answer:
The most difficult thing is getting up all night long to let them go outside to do their "business". Other than that, all they need is love while you train them to come when you call them, etc... Let them out every couple of hours to go to the bathroom, and when they do it, give them all of the praise you can handle. The same for any training.
