Housebreaking The Labrador Retriever Puppy<\/strong><\/p>\n

A chocolate Lab puppy<\/em> and any color of Labrador Retriever puppy<\/em> are so cute, they love you, but they use your home as a huge toilet.\u00a0 This happens to any puppy owner, and not just the owner of a Labrador Retriever puppy.\u00a0 Housebreaking any puppy takes persistence and patience, which not a lot of people have.\u00a0 Sadly, many a Labrador Retriever puppy (usually from nine months old on) is abandoned or sent to the pound for housebreaking problems that are not really the fault of the pup, but of the selfish and impatient owners.\u00a0 Housetraining an older dog is just the same as housetraining a Labrador Retriever puppy.<\/p>\n

When You Get Your Labrador Pup Home<\/strong><\/p>\n

As soon as you get your new Labrador Retriever puppy \u2013 or rescue dog \u2013 home for the first time, take them right to where you would like them to toilet.\u00a0 Pick them up and plop them there, if you have to.\u00a0 A car ride especially seems to make a dog or puppy have to pee.\u00a0 Be patient and wait until your new Labrador puppy (no matter what his age) squats.\u00a0 Praise lavishly with kind words and affection and then take them inside.<\/p>\n

When You Gotta GoHelp Your Labrador Retriever puppy\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you take the time to observe and interact with your rescue dog or Labrador Retriever puppy, you will soon be able to tell when Nature is ringing that little doggie bell.\u00a0 A dog or puppy will often walk in circles, sniffing the floor or the walls when they feel the urge.\u00a0 If you see this behavior, rush them outside and then lavishly praise them when they squat.<\/p>\n

Because they are so young, most puppies like a Labrador Retriever puppy will often pee out of excitement or out of fear.\u00a0 They just haven’t been able to develop the bladder control yet.\u00a0 You do need to expect this and not be too harsh on them when this happens.\u00a0 Perhaps you could have your puppy spend time in a room with easy to clean floors or with older carpet that needs a few stains in order to improve it’s looks.<\/p>\n

When Should The Labrador Retriever Puppy Get It?<\/strong><\/p>\n

All dogs and puppies learn housebreaking in their own time.\u00a0 So, it’s perfectly normal for your Labrador Retriever puppy to still be having accidents at seven months of age while the neighbor’s chocolate Lab puppy is perfectly housebroken as a wee six months of age.\u00a0 Sometimes it can take dogs a year to get the hang of it.\u00a0 Once Labrador puppies do, they are really proud of keeping the house clean.<\/p>\n

If your Labrador Retriever<\/strong> is over a year old and still having housebreaking issues, please see a vet to be sure there isn\u2019t a health problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
