Question by GucciP: How to train puppy dachshund to stop crying all night long?
Hi! I just got a new puppy dachshund last week. And she is very very cute and adorable. When I got her, she is very naughty and active. Love to run around and play. The thing that she loves to do most is playing with newspaper. When she jumps on to the newspaper, she will be very excited and love the noise of the newspaper. I am very happy to see her trying to get familiar with the new house.

But when night come, I put her in the crate and she just keep crying and whining all night long until morning. I remember reading from the web saying I should not pay too much attention to her so that will pamper her. But on the other hand, listen to her sad cry really make me having trouble to sleep at night. This is the 4th nights she is with me. But the crying still continues. I need some advice here.

I did put a towel in the crate to make her feel more comfortable but I a not sure if she is old enough to know that. And at the moment I don’t think she knows her own name. When I call her she do not respond but continue to wonder around the house. Is she too young to learn anything?

This is all part of training the puppy. My German Shepherd did this too in the beginning, and gosh was it awful… the best, and only advice is to totally ignore her when she cries.. do not let her out, other wise instead of you training her, she is training YOU.. which is not what you want. Another tip is to make sure your German Shepherd is getting enough exercise during the day… If your German Shepherd has a lot of energy, then it’s not even going to want to sleep, which will make her cry longer.. You also need to make sure she goes to the bathroom right before bed… even if you have to stand out there for an hour before she pees, you just need to be patient. Within no time, your German Shepherd will be trained…. With my German Shepherd is all I have to say is “Bella, go lay down” I show her a little tiny treat, she runs in the cage, I give her the treat, and she doesn’t make a peep.

How Long Does It Take To Potty Train A Puppy?

Once you get past all of the things you find so adorable about your new little German Shepherd Puppy, and they sure are cute, reality sets in.  The reality is that German Shepherd puppies require a lot of love, training and discipline, especially when it comes to potty training.  How long does it take to potty train a German Shepherd Puppy?

If you have ever been the proud “parent” of a new German Shepherd Puppy, you will surely agree that this can be the most challenging and frustrating elements of owning a German Shepherd Puppy.  Just when you think they are getting the hang of it, they undoubtedly have an accident somewhere in the house, maybe a few times a day.

Puppies are babies and continue to grow and develop in that first year of life, much like human babies.  In their growth, their bladders will grow and develop, allowing them the opportunity to “hold it” for longer periods of time, however, in the meantime, you can expect more than a few accidents along the way.  For the first 3-6 months, a German Shepherd Puppy cannot fully control his bladder, as it is still in the development stage.

Generally speaking, you can expect your German Shepherd Puppy to be fully potty trained within approximately 6-9 months, depending on how much time and effort you put into it.  Consistency is the key.  Another thing you must bring to the table is a lot of love and patience.  Remember that you are dealing with a German Shepherd Puppy (baby) who must LEARN all about potty training, and it is your job to teach him.

Some breeds are more stubborn than others in terms of understanding what is expected of them, but with the proper training and most importantly, consistency, you can expect good results no matter what type of German Shepherd you are training.  It makes no difference whether your German Shepherd Puppy is male or female, large or small, what does matter is the quality of training they receive.

In my case, I am dealing with the most adorable little beagle German Shepherd Puppy.  He is very sweet and intelligent, but also very headstrong, sassy and a lot of times, he is just downright naughty.  When it comes to potty training, it amazes me that he can learn to shake paw, sit or sit up in an hour or so, but try to get this guy outside to go potty and he does not seem to get it.  Sometimes it seems like he is just not going potty outside to get back at me for not giving him an extra treat!

I have not had a German Shepherd Puppy for many years and it did not take me long to remember just how much work they can be, especially when it comes to potty training.

There are several things to remember if trying to potty train your German Shepherd Puppy, and the sooner you begin, the better.

As much as possible, try to get the German Shepherd Puppy on a set schedule to include feedings, grooming and daily walks.  Some people choose to walk their German Shepherds in the early morning, while others prefer an evening walk.  Some people choose both morning and evening.  Regardless of your preference, it will not be long until your German Shepherd Puppy will be looking forward to getting his exercise and begin to sense (or know) about what time of day it will happen.

Feed your German Shepherd Puppy at the same time every day.  It does not matter whether you fill his bowl with food first thing in the morning, or give him one small feeding in the morning and another in the evening. 

Get into the habit of letting your German Shepherd Puppy outside to go potty first thing in the morning, last thing at night and approximately 20-30 minutes after each feeding.  You will also want to keep a close watch to make sure he does not get the opportunity to go potty in the house.  Watch for the signs such as sniffing, walking in circles and squatting. 

Make it an exciting event to go outside and go potty by the tone of your voice.  When your German Shepherd Puppy successfully goes potty outside, you want to praise him and pet him, letting him know you are very happy with what he accomplished.  Take a few small treats along with you to reward your German Shepherd Puppy right after he went potty.  Treats speak volumes and work wonders in the training of your German Shepherd Puppy.

Positive reinforcement, patience and above all – consistency – are the keys to potty training your German Shepherd Puppy quickly and successfully.

Giant German Shepherd puppy Abe at 9.5 months of age, son of Ash and Rayne. He’s almost as large as his father already and it’s hard to think of him as a puppy due to his size. Please don’t mind the spliced clips, the camera can only record at small intervals.Pioneer German Shepherds breeds sweet-tempered plush and long coat (long haired) German Shepherd Dogs that are oversized with a laidback temperament. Please note that our dogs are NOT Shiloh Shepherds but are distantly related, with larger size and less angulation than most GSD. Nor are they King Shepherds, however they are above average in size (some say king sized) with a large-boned structure. However, all are AKC German Shepherd Dogs. Puppies are whelped indoors and raised underfoot in our home with lots of love, occasionally available to select companion homes. For more information about our dogs, see our website at www.pioneergermanshepherds.com

This is a short video I made of a basic obedience training session with my new pup, Kaiya. She is 15 wks old and a West German Bloodline Blk & Red Long Coat. This is basically my first attempt to train any dog outside of regular potty training or housebreaking, so I am really proud of both our progress. I’d looked into a trainer, but in my area there aren’t very many. So after doing some research on clicker/reward training and watching a lot of Youtube videos, I decided to give it a shot myself. Here are our results thus far… Please Comment & Rate!!
