House-training a puppy is not difficult if you're consistent and stick to a schedule. You will probably be feeding three times a day. First thing in the morning, take the puppy out of its crate and quickly take it outside to where you'd like it to eliminate.

Most BMCs are very clean animals that don't like to soil their space. Crate training a puppy or dog is highly recommended for those times when you cannot directly supervise the dog. Later the puppy will be old enough to be trusted alone in the house. Except at night when he should go to sleep, do not use to crate for longer than three to four hours in the day. Nor should you use it as punishment as the puppy will view the crate as discipline and hate going into it.

This is a tough one. Every puppy responds differently to different training styles. It all depends on how you want to train your puppy and where you want them to use the bathroom.

Introducing a puppy to UGODOG can be more challenging. As with all puppies you should confine your pet to a fenced area when you first bring him home. Do not let him become accustomed to having access to the whole house. Place UGODOG against a wall, somewhere near your puppy's confined area but not too close.

Avoid the temptation to run up to the puppy, grab it off the floor and whisk it outside. This will confuse the puppy rather that teach that this is wrong. Instead interrupt the behaviour and lead your puppy outside to the right place. If your puppy shows no signs of wanting to go again, play a game and see if this stimulates them. Rubbing their noses in their mess or showing them it after are unlikely to be effective and will probably frighten your dog.

We believe your puppy should definitely be crated anytime you leave your home. This will keep the puppy safe and give you the peace of mind that nothing will be chewed and accidents will not be happening all around your house. Puppies feel comfortable in a small space such as a crate and soon will recognize the crate as its home. If not using a crate, always provide a safe environment for your puppy while you are gone.
