Morning Training Schedule for an 8 week Old Puppy

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

Thanks for watching! 🐶 How old is your puppy? What does their wake window look like?

[@eihpossharpei]

Sending this to all my puppy buyers ❤

My smart 12 week puppy snookers me to go door to get the treats - after she does the outdoor break with treats and the environment change. I feel like the con man’s Mark. I go to door anyway and we walk out anyway and then back in just to let you know. - I use the great & tasty highly rated too dogs treat - the freeze dried beef liver.

It's never a bad thing to teach your puppy that good things come from you, and good things happen when she pays attention to you. You're building a communication system that will serve you well for other training skills.

What would you do if you had to be to work by 6 AM? How do you get a routine going for a puppy?

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

You might have to start your day pretty early in order to meet the puppy's needs before work. Or hiring a pet sitter to come in and cover some of the necessary activities would be a good option.

I love husky puppies they're so cute

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

We agree!

Hello, I'm getting our bernedoodle tomorrow. He's flying with a flight nanny from Kansas. I'm just curious where are you located?

Question, we have a new 10 week old YorkiPoo. Do you get up in the middle of the night to let you dog out? What should be a good bed time and awake time for a 10 week old puppy.

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

Most 10 week old puppies have to go out at least once for a potty break. If he's not alerting you and he doesn't have accidents in his crate, let him sleep. If he alerts you by rustling, whining, scratching or you hear he's awake, then take him out for potty. If he's not alerting you and he's having accidents in the crate, then you'll need to get him out proactively, starting a few hours after he's gone to sleep and doing some trial and error to find the best time.

This is unrelated to the video, but how would you introduce a puppy to cats? I know in other videos you say that it should be a positive experience but I know my cats don’t enjoy the presence or even the smell of dogs very much. Thank you in advance!

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

This video can help you with that! Cat treats can help the cats have a more positive association with the puppy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIDWeWxti5Jsibc

[@msbiancad]

Do you introduce a lead for walking as soon as you start potty training?

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

You can begin the positive association with the leash and collar as soon as the puppy comes home, but loose leash walking is a skill made up of multiple skills put together, so it's important to go slow and advance only as the puppy is understanding the training.

I just got my puppy from a breeder and she is 8 weeks old. She doesn’t engage in anything (eating, pooping, peeing, playing) if I am not in her playpen. She’s not food motivated and sleeps almost all day unless I am in with her. Any advice? Rather than eating she just comes below or on my lap..

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

This is really normal for a puppy who just came home. Keep her world small and give her some time to settle in. You'll likely see her come out of her shell in a few days or a week.

[@jenniferlee2836]

@@HowToTrainADreamDog thanks! Yes, she is willing to come out of the play pen. But just not motivated in doing other things in her playpen by herself.

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

Young puppies are not good at being alone or entertaining themselves. That comes with time and training.

👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻HELP! So my 9 week old bernedoodle puppy is doing really well, however he wants to pick up every single tiny twig or stick and chew it, break it into small choky pieces. It terrifies me because I had a lab get a 3 -4 inch stick lodged in his throat and was becoming lethargic while I was on the phone with the emergency vet. He was able to get it out eventually thank God, but I thought he was going to die and I’m now traumatized from it. That’s been 15 years ago. So what do I do when new pup grabs a stick? I do my best to rake the sticks away, but we have every afternoon thunderstorms here in Florida during the summer and so many fall from all the trees in our yard. please tell me what I can do to keep him from grabbing them!

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

A 9 week old puppy isn't ready for "leave it" or "drop it" training yet, but that will be your goal as he gets older. For now, redirecting him and preventing him from getting things will be your strategy. You might also puppy proof an area of the backyard so you don't have to watch him so carefully. This video has some good tips for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3zYfGiud8aDb6ssi=s08Ml9_39tMAE9lR

[@elbeth8213]

I’m confused if 8 week puppies are allowed to go potty outside since they have not full vaccinations?

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

Yes, there is a way to do it safely for them, and it's important for the puppy to start learning about the world. This video will show you how to do it safely: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKrFkoehadyXfaM

[@JeremyHearne-ez1qb]

What was the licking toy she was using before naptime? Where can I buy it?

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

It's a fillable toy, like a West Paw Toppl or Kong! The one most similar to that one was the West Paw Toppl - you can get one here: www.howtotrainadreamdog.com/Toppl

[@anniekisuarez7909]

What if they poop as u take them back inside ?

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

You can note that on the schedule and try to stay out a little longer next time. You might try walking around a little more to get the puppy's system moving.

[@julieperkins1904]

My pup is 6 months and our older pup is 17 months. It’s been difficult to train the younger cause the older gets jealous.😏

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

Dogs don't feel jealousy per-se but they definitely react to a change in the environment, including if you are not able to spend the normal amount of time with them. The puppy definitely needs a quiet environment in order to train. The older dog is a big distraction.

[@moniquejones4724]

Ok so I was under the impression that I can’t take my puppy out until they have all their shots. We don’t have grass expect on our front lawn. Please advise

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

Hi Monique. There's a way to take your puppy out safely, which is actually very important. You want to expose him or her to the outside world in a positive way when he is young, which builds confidence with new things for a lifetime. This video explains how to do it safely but in a way that is beneficial for the puppy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKrFkoehadyXfaM

[@Maria-jl7ql]

So am I right in assuming that you can use some of breakfast to train them .. not setting the bowl down but using it as “treats”
