Toilet training a king charles?
Congratulations! on your new puppy. He is not likely to pick up fleas in the winter, unless he is in close contact with feral cats.





Routine is the most important aspect of training. From the beginning, feed 4 times per day, at the same times, and put the bowl up in 5 minutes, or when finished.





A puppy will need to go just minutes after eating, so whisk her outside, and stay with her UNTIL SHE 'goes'..Give her lots of praise when she does her job, play a few minutes, and come back in..





If you can spread down a bag of sand, from a garden center, it will give her a good place to go, so you can kind of aim her there, and not just all over your yard..





She should only need to go poop after eating, and perhaps at bedtime..





However, she will need water down at all times, and need to pee frequently..so, outside every other hour for that..and keep a close eye on her..She will need to go during active play, and every time she wakes from a nap..If you watch her, you will see her acting restless, and sniffing the floor, etc when she needs to go..at first, peeing may be just a matter of pausing, and uh-oh, there it is..She won't even be aware...So its important to never scold her for peeing...***this is what makes traumatized pups that refuse to pee outside, or try to hide it in the house..as they get scolded for it, and it becomes a traumatic event***..


Keep the product, Nature's Miracle, on hand, for instant cleaning of pee spots...or ask your pet supply which enzyme cleaner they recommend..





Puppies physiology only allows them to hold pee for about 1 hour per month of age...so expecting any more is unrealistic..a good reason for a playpen or crate at night.. She may hold it through the night, but is likely to need to pee at least once during the night..You can remove the water a couple of hours before bedtime..





By following a routine, and being ever watchful for the first few days, you can have her petty well trained in just a couple of weeks..or less





I house-train all of my pups before they ever leave my home, and I do it an entire litter at a time..it normally takes about 4-5 days, with very few accidents, before they are asking to be let out..


But, if you hang a little bell on the door, or a desk bell on the floor, and show her you are ringing the bell each time you take her out, she is likely to begin ringing the bell when she needs to go..Just be very vigilant, and yet stay relaxed..an accident doesn't mean failure..


Remember, it takes forever to potty train a human baby, and it is so nice that puppies can learn it so much faster, but they are still allowed to be babies, and don't deserve to be stressed about the training...


If you have important areas to keep clean, just keep her away from those areas until she is a bit older..





I recommend using a soft step-in type harness for the walking and leash training, as it is less frightening and stressful..eventually, as trust is developed, you can switch to a collar..but a soft harness takes the fear away from the beginning...Walking stimulates the bowels to move, more so than just putting the dog out..





Pee pads are very confusng to a puppy, as you are telling them it is ok to pee indoors, and it is super hard for them to realize that you only want them to pee on the pad, and not just anywhere it is absorbant..
Reply:Why not speak to the vet about the fleas? Is it really a king charles or is it a cavalier king charles? You cannot expect an 8 weeks old pup to be able to control his bladder and bowels yet. Why are you training him to pee and poo in your house? Why not housetrain him to go outside in the garden?
Reply:Regards toliet training there is lots of good advice allready so I won't add, but good on you for not telling your puppy off for having accidents - its what puppies do. If you are concerned that he has fleas, and is too small for flea products, get some hibiscrub from a petshop and use it DILUTED to wash your puppy in warm water. Make sure your puppy warm until he is dry. This will remove any fleas, dirt, eggs, larve etc. The water helps to remove them and the hibiscrub is antimicrobial so will kill the eggs etc. but make sure it's diluted a lot cause it is quite strong stuff and don't use the soap on it's head, just water there so you don't get anything in it's eyes.
Reply:you are doing the right thing about toilet training, just persevere as it may take longer to train him than some larger breeds, but they are intelligent little dogs and you will win in the end. As for flea treatment - speak to the vet for the right and most up to date advice.
Reply:try the puppy training pads and just keep taking it to the pad instead of using newpaper the puppy training pads are so much easier and you can purchase them at pets at home and also tesco because bob martin do their own make of puppy training pads
Reply:with regards to toilet training you should be taking your pup out every 1/2 hours a good idea is to stay outside with him and loads of praise if does the business, also if you catch him doing it in house stop him mid stream and take him outside when he finishes again loads of praise. and if you see him sniffing around this is often a sign of needing to go, i NEVER punished my dog for having accidents but i did used to show him and tell him No and put him outside, just keep a close eye on him. i had my pup housetrained in 2 weeks but i did watch him like a hawk. and with regards to flees, prevention is always better than cure, my vet advised me to deflee my pup every month just as a precaution.


best of luck with your baby, let us know how you get on.
Reply:be consistant with the training..out first thing and last thing...if you are at home with him during the day then keep putting him out say every half hour even if you dont think he needs to go..yes its time consuming but worth it,well done for not telling him off dogs have a short memory so by the time you do get to tell him off they dont no why u are doing it , desensitize the area when he has a accident with washing powder that takes the smell away, i have a rescue grey and coz she had come from the track she would toilet anywhere that took her fancy..so i had to theoretically toilet train her and shes 4 and a half but she goes outside now and will ask to go which she never did,i had to put her out every half hour and it was just like having a puppy again,but she got the jist of it 2months later..RE fleas, i use garlic tablets my grey has 1 a day in her dinner ( tescos superdrugs or health food shops sell them) they kill the infestation from the inside and are harmless and a clove of garlic rubbed over her fur kills the buggers from the outside and will b suitable for your dog..i steer clear of vets products
