Housebreaking a Miniature Pinscher

I just got a new pincher pup. He's about 7 months old. I have only had him for the last month and cannot get him to do his duty outside like he should be doing. The woman who had him before didn't train him, so he has no idea what he's doing. How do I get him to do his duty outside? I really need help.

We are on our second Min-pin. They are very smart and very easy to please. Schedule is everything. I swear this one can tell time. Be patient, be loving, be firm and did I say be patient? :) The reward is worth all the work. Never had a better, more loving pet. Good luck. (03/03/2008)

When housebreaking any dog remember this; you have to read your dog. Most of the time dogs will give signs such as walking in a circle before they do their business, or even playing with you. You need to read your dog's sign. Always treat your dog. Not necessarily with a real treat but with the baby talk and a rub on the chest (since they can't reach that spot it's always nice.) Leave the crate in your room, that way the child can't get to the pup.

Teach the pup that his home is his crate. They generally won't use the bathroom in their home. Also a 30 min walk might not be it. You might have to be out there with him for up to 2 hours to teach him that is where he goes. He will catch the drift a lot quicker than you think. Just give him time. P.S I never liked pads anyway. Haha! (03/11/2008)

We adopted a mini pin/chihuahua mix from a shelter. He does pretty well with going outside. The thing is catching him and timing it. Take him out first thing in morning, after play time, after he eats, after naps, and right before bed time. Just be consistent with him and keep after him throughout the day. Don't let him wander around the house alone. And if you can't watch him, crate AND baby gate him where the baby can't reach him. After all, he needs his naps and space as well. (05/13/2008)

For night training; the first month and a half I took our min pin puppy out 2 times a night and put her back in the crate. The next month and a half I took her out once a night. That worked, and I'm glad to know now that it was temporary! (Someone else might know if I could have curtailed that sooner.)

At 6 1/2 months we don't let her have water or food after 6:30 pm. Then we take her out as late as possible before putting her in the crate. She can go from 11 pm until about 7 am that way. (11/20/2008)

Housebreaking a Miniature Pinscher

I have had my Mini Pinscher for 2 weeks now. He is 11 weeks old. He is a little crazy as he should be since he is a puppy, but he is incredibly wonderful to me when it comes to crate training. He eats breakfast at 6:30 am, and we take him out right away to take care of business and he does. We bring him inside back to his crate. We then take him out again around noon for another potty, and he is fed again at around 4:00 pm, and we take him out one more time to take care of his business.

We then take him out one more time between 9:00 pm and 11:00 pm to take care of business for the final time before going to bed. He has done this for 2 straight weeks, and he has never done anything in his crate. He is my good boy. He is a present from God. (12/01/2008)

Housebreaking a Miniature Pinscher

I have a Min Pin that I just got about 5 days ago. She is about 2 years old and we are really trying hard to house train her. It is sort of difficult because there are other dogs in the neighborhood and she is more interested in the dogs and other noises and doesn't want to go to the bathroom. Then she ends up going in the house. Does anyone have any suggestions? (01/16/2009)

My two, 7 month old chi/pins still are not totally trained and it's stressful. There have been times I let them out in the yard, then I let them in after a half hour or so and the first thing they do is pee or poo.

They're getting a bit better, but it's very hard. They are peeing in the crate and by the way, in their water bowl of all things. It's almost as if they aim right in the bowl. And top of all this, they eat poo. I love them dearly, but dear Lord. God help me. (03/19/2009)
