House training a 10 week old bulldog puppy?

teach him sign language so he can understand complicated words for ya.

we have an english bulldog and when we were housebreaking i found that rewarding him and praising him when he’d potty outside really helped him distinguish between where he should go. of course you have to start with the treats and then slowly stop giving them to him. good luck! i know it’s frustrating but if you’re consistent he will learn.

ahh.. the problem is that he is a “french” bulldog… and everyone knows the french are dirty…. j/k…. i would suggest buying a book on training dogs…. my dog seemed to catch on quickly.. but we kept him in a dog crate the first few weeks whenever we weren’t around

You sound like your on the right track but are you praising and rewarding for going outside? We used to go on fun walks after she’d go outside to reward her for being such a good girl…and she also still gets little rewards (we’re still working on it). But positive reinforcement is your best bet for housetraining…they remember the treats, not so much the negativity.

A crate.

Use crate training. It makes housebreaking a pup so much easier.

You place her in the crate when you cannot watch her like a hawk (such as when you’re asleep).

Any other time, you place her on a leash and keep her with you, watching her closely. Take her out regularly, to a place you decide you want her to go (and the same place every time). When she goes, reward her with praise and affection.

The trick is consistency. Even one mess in the house because you weren’t watching is enough to drastically set you back.

First of all, if your not using an enzymatic cleaner to clean up the messes, he may be smelling his old accidents and thinking that is where he is supposed to go. Keep a close eye on him and make sure you take him out if you even think he looks like he might need to go. This could include behaviours such as sniffing around with unusual intensity and sitting close to the door. Any time you can’t watch him, he should be in a crate that is large enough to be comfortable but small enough that he won’t be willing to soil it.

Make sure you are rewarding him when he does go. This is really important with puppies. Make sure to give him the treat outside right after he goes. By the time you get back inside he will forget what he did that was good. When you are not home make sure to crate him. Puppies learn that they don’t want to go to the bathroom where they have to lay down so once they are crate trained it carries over to the house. If he doesn’t go outside make sure to put him in his crate when you come back in. This way he will not want to go in there and will not be able to go find a spot in the house. Also make sure that you scrub the carpet really really good where he went before. I would recommend putting baking soda on the spot also and sweeping that up. If it still smells like he went to the bathroom there he is more likely to go there again. Hope this helps. But also remember it is normal to take 1-2 months for a dog to be completely house broken.
