Bulmastiff owners

Puppies naturally prefer to do their business outdoors. The only thing stopping them is you not letting them out enough. Search out info on your bread, a general rule is; a pup can hold it's bladder 1 hour for each month of age. eg: 3 months old can hold it for 3hrs. Larger breads do better then smaller.
Good luck!

Don't forget to post up pics! Next to your bike of coarse.
 
Dogs follow by example.

Take your pup out with you to the garden or wherever it is, go on all fours, and take a pee.

Once you have done this for a few days pup will forget whether you are joining in or not.

The regularity of the excursions is key.

flour, water, salt, sugar & yeast.

now, what about the puppy?!!!


best way to train any pup is newspaper by the door. when they squat, grab them & put them on the paper. after a week or so they will naturally start moving to the paper when they need out. use this as a queue to let them straight out.

the single most important thing to do is praise them when they do their business outside. a big fuss & a 'good boy / girl' enforeces that what they just did was good.

realistically, any pup should be clean within 5 / 6 weeks max if you put in enough effort.

the paper trick won't work properly & quickly if you don't let them out enough when they are young to get the habit of peeing outside ingrained in them.

Hahahaha My bad. Breed! I meant Breed.
 
Vigilance.

As soon as the pup looks like it MIGHT want to go, silently and with no show of emotion, pick them up (even if they have already started, or even just finished) and place them outside. Once down, behave normally.

If they haven't started to go within a minute or two, let them follow you inside.

As soon as they start to go, gently use your pre-chosen 'toilet word' something you don't mind saying in public. We use 'Whizz', but you can use any word.

Repeat it over, gently, until pup is done, at which point, there needs to be lots of over the top 'GOOD BOY!' and smiley faces. All this needs to come the very second pup finishes. A small treat is a great idea. Then let them follow you inside.

If you miss an 'accident' indoors, don't punish the pup, they don't realise the association after more than a minute, or even less. PLEASE don't rub their nose in it, they don't understand.

Our current pooch (Working cocker) was trained, fully, in 2 days. By day 2, he'd take himself outside for his toilet, and pee on command ('Whizz') by day 5.

They'll want to pee a few times an hour at this age, so you'll get lots of practice, ESPECIALLY after they've had a nap. Don't be afraid to wake them up from a nap to practice this either. Wake up>notice you>need to pee.

Hope that helps, and yes, I do work with animals. :wink:

All brilliant advice, she can't go out yet but the newspaper is working


Cheers

Do you have a garden? They can't go anywhere other dogs (non-vaccinated) may have been, but they can go outside.

The 'toilet word' makes life MUCH easier when you are getting them used to going in non familiar areas.

:D
 
Yeah, we got a 65x12 metre garden, we've had other dogs in here and we got chickens, so I imagine a fox or two aswell, our dog is 7 weeks so getting fist jab this week, as soon as she can go out I think she be fine she was just struggling a little indoors. We got a very excitable household
 
Toilet training shouldn't be too bad, but good luck with the rest of it.

If bullmastiffs are anywhere near as stubborn as Tibetan Mastiffs, you'll have hours of fun!!
