1. Housetraining with Your Crate - 100 % Supervision

As we have discussed is previous chapters, supervision is the key to housetraining! While you are at home, your dog must be supervised… all the time. Whether you are watching television, making dinner, on the phone or on the computer, your Min Pin must be watched. While it sounds like an impossible task, it isn’t.

 

Text Box: Baron’s crate sits beside our bed. Most of the time, Baron prefers sleeping on our bed or under our comforter. When we prefer him not to, it’s “night-night” in the crate for Baron. If something’s wrong and Baron doesn’t feel well, the crate is usually the first place we’ll find him. The crate is a happy secure place, which Baron also travels in by car from time to time.I understand that most of us need to leave the house at some point during the day to go to work.  It helps to have a neighbor or friend available to let him out of his crate to do his business if you are going to be gone longer than your dog can hold their bladder (see the next step for more information).  Leaving him to soil his bed just isn’t right – and it’s not doing anything to help the housebreaking process.  If you have to be gone longer than this and can’t find someone to let him out, you will need to look into another method of housebreaking, such as the doggy door or litter box.  But then, if he’s left unattended for several hours each day, your Min Pin may have more issues than just peeing on the floor.

Keeping the crate in a social part of the house makes it easier to give him constant attention and supervision when you are home.  You can see and hear him, and will know when he is giving you the signals that he needs to out to do his business.

 

Using a house lead – a small, thin lead with a little clip on it – also helps immensely. Outside, you put a lead on your dog so you can control him. If the lead is removed after returning home, control is lost. For example, when watching television, have the lead tied to a couch leg. Your dog can have his blanket and toys with him. He’ll feel safe and comfortable. The majority of accidents happen when your Min Pin wanders off and you haven’t noticed. You don’t want him to sneak off into the kitchen and leave a puddle for you to find a short time later. If your pup is kept from wandering, the possibility of an accident is diminished, because he will not eliminate where he is sitting.

 

 

 

100 per cent supervision means ensuring your Min Pin is playing with you, in his crate, outside or on his house lead.
