Hello! How do I teach my 3 month old puppy proper toilet habit? Nangangamoy na kasi sa loob ng bahay namin. huhu. help!

i am more on fish how ever one of our member answered this, here is sideshow's advice and i think it is very useful...
Hi mga kasulit, here are some tips on house breaking / house training your dog. Smile

House Training Basics

When you bring a new dog into your home, you should start housetraining as soon as possible. The sooner he is housetrained, the sooner he becomes part of your family, rather than remaining confined to his crate.

The goal of housetraining is to make sure your dog never eliminates inside your home. Instead, you train him to always eliminate in his toilet area outdoors. This means constant supervision on your part so you can get him to the right spot at the right time. When you cannot supervise him, put him in his crate. Your dog's toilet area should be in a specific area in the yard. Using the same location makes housetraining and cleanup easier. You also do not have to deal with yellow or dead grass, except for in one area.You should also try to establish consistent feeding and elimination times for your dog, which will reduce the risk of your dog having accidents.

Remember to not punish him when he does eliminate in an inappropriate area. Punishing him only teaches him that it makes you angry to see him eliminate, not where he chose to eliminate.

Sample Schedule For 3 Month Old Dog
6:30 a.m. - Dog wakes. Outside to toilet area, then supervised playtime.

7:30 a.m. - Breakfast. Outside to toilet area, then into crate.

10:00 a.m. - Outside to toilet area, then supervised playtime.

12:00 p.m. - Lunch. Outside to toilet area, then into crate.

3:00 p.m. - Outside to toilet area, then supervised playtime.

5:00 p.m. - Dinner. Outside to toilet area, then into crate.

7:00 p.m. - Outside to toilet area. Short walk, then supervised playtime.

Before bed - Last trip outside to toilet area.


House Training Commands

The Outside command and the "Do your business" command are both very useful when housetraining your dog.

If you catch your unhousetrained dog in the act of eliminating in an inappropriate place, say the command "Outside" sharply so it startles your dog into stopping what he is doing. Then take him outside as quickly as possible. You should never punish your dog if you catch him in the act of eliminating in an inappropriate place. This will only teach him to hold his bowels and bladder when in your presence and find places to hide while he eliminates,which can make housetraining very difficult. When housetraining, you can also train your dog to eliminate on command by saying the command "Do your business" as he starts to eliminate in his toilet area. Your dog connects the command with his actions and the reward you give him. Whenever he hears you say those words, he will eliminate to get the reward. The "Do your business" command
will come in handy when you want your dog to eliminate before a car ride or before bedtime.

Using your dogs crate for House Training

Every dog has a natural desire to keep his home clean and not eliminate where he sleeps. Once you have crate trained your dog and he is comfortable with it as a place to sleep, you can begin housetraining using a crate. See page 62 for more information about crate training. Housetraining teaches your dog to always eliminate outside the house in the location you have chosen for his toilet area. Puppies should be taken to their toilet area after eating, sleeping, playing or every hour.

Proper crate use helps the puppy learn to "hold it" for longer periods of time because they want to keep their crate clean.
Until your dog is housetrained, he should always be under direct supervision or in his crate. If your dog is not reliably housetrained and you have to be away for more than two and a half hours, you should set up a long-term confinement area for your dog. For more information on long-term confinement areas, see page 66. For every accident-free month, you can increase the size of the confinement area until your dog is reliably housetrained.

Pwede mo ring subukan na enclosed sya sa isang small area at lagyan mo nang newspaper ang sahig para masanay sa newspaper muna dumumi, pag sanay na sya doon, alisan mo nang pa isa-isa ang newspaper hangang sa isa nalang ang natira pero make sure na sa newspaper siya dudumi.

Unti-untiin mong i moved ang paper palabas nang bahay hangang nasa small patch of grass outdoors at pag nasanay na sya doon sa small grass area, subukan mong alisin na ang news paper.

Make sure na consistent ka sa training mo.

potty training a pup is really easy.  all you need is timing and consistency. usually pups go a short time after their meal.  around 30 minutes max.  bring her to your desired spot and keep her there til she goes.  the trick is patience or dapat mas makulit ka sa kanya. do this after every meal time.

or if you want a short cut  you can  use wee wee pads placed under a sheet of newspapaer. wee pads are laced with a certain substance that signals a dog "this is the place to go" hehehe

post ko lang  bro, about parvo 

parvo clean up /what to do..

 If you have had a dog in your house that has been diagnosed with parvo you must clean like you have never cleaned before. The parvo virus is VERY hardy and can live in the environment (carpeting, hard surfaces, bedding, bowls, yard) for many, many years.

First throw EVERYTHING the dog used into a plastic garbage bag, seal it, and take it outside. This means EVERYTHING...bowls, bedding, toys, collar, leash...

Every hard surface where the dog may have been needs to be washed with a bleach and water solution...1 part bleach to 4 parts water. You need to wipe the surface and leave it wet. It is the evaporative oxidation that will kill the virus. 

Any hard surface that cannot be bleached should be sprayed until wet with Lysol (only that brand) and allowed to air dry. Let the moisture evaporate, do not wipe dry.

Upholstered furniture and carpeting will need to be professionally cleaned. You will need to advise the cleaning company of your situation so that they can use the most powerful cleaners. Also, the steam cleaning and evaporation as the fabric dries will help.

Clean up the yard, pick up all waste. Pour straight bleach on the ground where you pick up the waste or know that the dog has eliminated.

Lastly, if you have had a parvo positive animal (dog or cat) in your house you must be very careful about any animals that come into your house for the next year or two. It is highly recommended that you do not bring a puppy (under 18 months) or elderly animal into the home during this time period. Despite your best cleaning efforts there is no way to completely eradicate the virus from your home. So a young animal (immature immune system) or elderly animal (immunocompromised due to aging) could conceivably become infected. 

This information is from my experience in fostering animals from shelters. Overcrowding often breeds diseases like parvo. Unfortunately we've had a few foster litters at our home that were later diagnosed with parvo. My personal veterinarian has been very helpful in providing these guidelines for cleaning so that my own animals and visiting animals do not become infected. Of course it is a good idea to be sure that other animals in your house (or visiting) are current on vaccinations. 

And the best advice is that when bringing a new animal into your home (like a new puppy) keep them confined to one room for the first week or two. We use a laundry room right off the kitchen and put a baby gate across the doorway. Definitely take them to your own vet for a complete exam during the first 72 hours. But confining them works well for a few reasons. First it gives the animal a quiet place of their own until they settle in. And secondly, if any illness does arise you will not need to clean/disinfect the entire house and all of your furniture.

mukhang may sense.
sana masunod dito ito.

"Dogs and cats immune systems mature fully at 6 months. If a modified live virus (MLV) vaccine is given after 6 months of age, it produces immunity, which is good for the life of the pet (i.e., canine distemper, parvo, feline distemper). If another MLV vaccine is given a year later, the antibodies from the first vaccine neutralize the antigens of the second vaccine and there is little or no effect. The titer is not 'boosted' nor are more memory  cells induced.

"Not only are annual boosters for parvo and distemper unnecessary, they subject the pet to potential risks of allergic reactions and immune-mediated hemolytic anemia. There is no scientific documentation to back up label claims for annual administration of MLV vaccines. Puppies receive antibodies through their mothers milk.  This natural protection can last 8-14 weeks.  Puppies and kittens should NOT be vaccinated at LESS than 8 weeks.  Maternal immunity will neutralize the vaccine and little protection (0-38%) will be produced.

"Vaccination at 6 weeks will, however, delay the timing of the first highly effective vaccine. Vaccinations given 2 weeks apart suppress rather than stimulate the immune system. A series of vaccinations is given starting at 8 weeks and given 3-4 weeks apart up to 16 weeks of age.  Another vaccination given sometime after 6 months of age (usually at 1 year 4 months) will provide lifetime immunity."
