Reddit reviews How to Housebreak Your Dog in 7 Days (Revised)

they probably read the cheap book "how to housebreak your dog in 7 days" which works, though small puppies will have more "accidents"

not barking can be taught, but everyone needs to be consistent it training him/her. watch "it's me or the dog" victoria is pretty cool.

Crate train the puggle. I used this book from Amazon: How to Housebreak Your Dog in 7 Days

Basically: Crate train your dog. Put it on a feeding and watering schedule. Learn when it needs to go potty based on the feeding schedule. If the dog does not go potty within 15 minutes of being out of the crate and put in the "potty spot", put back into crate.

When dog goes potty in the right spot shower with praise and treats. Repeat.

Took our dog a couple of weeks to learn that (as a puppy, however). The book has some great examples of how to work their "method" in to different types of work schedules.

You must be disciplined. Good luck!

Cheesy looking, but it works...get this book and follow it exactly.

This book is super helpful.

Check out 7 Day Dog Training. My border collie puppy was housebroken in less than a week doing this. It's a method that uses the crate.

Your poor dog for being crated 24/7 at the puppy mill. Crates should be their comfort zone and happy place. :(

Read this book. It is very regimented but very effective. Though Jacks are always harder to train than others.

If you have a Kindle I should be able to loan it you...though I don't know how just yet :D

We got our 7/almost 8 month Yorkie about 9ish days ago. Luckily, he came to us used to the crate at night—not so much during the day (he was on an apartment balcony for 8+ hours a day, with water and a grass pad/yoga mat for pottying. We just decided to start from scratch.)

What I would recommend is the book ‘How to Housebreak Your Dog in 7 Days’. Honestly, the 7 days is a bit of a misnomer but this book has great, easy to follow adaptable steps. (No worries if it’s not done in 7 ACTUAL DAYS). It does involve having to crate for longer periods but I’ve seen it work really well so far with our dog, especially getting him to take enforced naps. We do crate him in a separate room when we’re at home just because he can’t relax/settle well if he sees us. We also purposefully watch him like a hawk when he’s out and about on his own as we’ve still had a few accidents.

Crating feels super confined but as long as you entertain them/exercise them well outside of the crate, we don’t are issues. Gradually, we’ll try an expen with him at home alone but we’re nowhere near that stage yet.

Edit: also, for the record, we’re still having accidents every few days. But, the book I recommended as been a god send, especially with the sample schedules that are included.

Check out these two books and your done:
