You love your little puppy and understand that it is important that you teach him to go to the bathroom in a timely manner. However, if you don’t know what you’re doing, Jack Russell Terrier potty training can almost drive you crazy. Here are some tips to make sure your Jack Russell house training gets off to a good start.

Designate your bathroom area

If you want your Jack Russell Terrier potty training to get off to a good start, then you will need to designate where you want your puppy to potty. Pay close attention to it. There are certain signs to watch out for when a dog needs to poop or pee.

If he starts spinning and sniffing, it means he’s about to go to the bathroom. If your puppy is not in the designated area, quickly pick him up and place him on the pad in the area that you have designated for him to urinate and defecate.

Put it on a schedule

A schedule is important for puppies. Puppies have to go to the bathroom:

1. When they first wake up

2. After they finish playing vigorously

3. About 5-10 minutes after eating

4. Before going to bed

Putting your puppy on a urination and defecation schedule will help him succeed in his training. You should also make sure to take it out about every 2 hours, in addition to these times.

Give him lots of praise

Make sure to praise your puppy every time he goes to the bathroom in the correct area. Also, never scold him. Dogs always learn best when they are praised.

Gradually increase the time between bathroom breaks

As your dog grows, you can gradually increase the amount of time between potty breaks for your puppy. If your dog is 1 month old, you can probably hold him for an hour. If it is 2 months old, you can keep it for 2 hours, etc. The maximum you want to do is 3-4 months = 4 hours.

Box training

I believe in box training. It is extremely effective in the house building process. Therefore, you may want to consider cage training your JRT. This helps prevent accidents while you sleep or if you have to leave the house.

Get a box that’s big enough for him to stand up and lie down with just a little bit of free space. I’d leave it in the box for a few hours at a time. Dogs don’t like to poop where they sleep, so they will hold it.

Remember to leave it ours according to your age. When you let him out, take him to his bathroom area.

conclusion

These simple Jack Russell Terrier potty training tips will get you off to a great start. It will help you improve your potty training quickly and prevent you from stepping on steaming piles.

If you don’t want to clean up puddles, make sure your puppy knows where he’s supposed to go.
