Crate training is generally considered one of the fastest, and best, ways you can train your puppy to teach them not to go to the bathroom in the house. Crate training takes advantage of one of the strong instincts of your bullmastiff: that they will not go to the bathroom in their own personal space if it can be avoided. Having a crate for your puppy will then mean that it will hold when it wants to go to the bathroom. Pay attention to your puppy's behavior and when they get finicky, you can put your puppy on a leash and take it outside.
There is a grammar debate about the Borzoi (Russian Wolfhound). The plural, "Borzois", may be found in dictionaries. However, the Borzoi Club of America asserts that "Borzoi" is the preferred form for both singular and plural.
This is a good time to use positive reinforcement so your bullmastiff will learn that this is a good action.
Every time you take your puppy out to go to the bathroom, give a treat and praise every time your puppy does so. This will help reinforce that outside is the place to go to the bathroom. After that the bullmastiff can run freely in the house until it needs to go again, which for some really young puppies can be as often as every hour, but later as they age. Keep a close eye on your pet to let them out when they really need to go.
An American foxhound became one of the most amazing mothers in the dog world when she set a record for the largest litter of puppies in 1944. She had not one, not two, not even ten, but twenty-three puppies!
There are several factors you need to keep in mind while crate training your bullmastiff:
�Only use the crate when you are going to be home for the entire time of confinement. Bullmastiffs are social creatures, and you should never have them in a closed crate more than two hours, or while you're away from home--even if it's only for a short time.
�Don't put the crate away from everyone. Bullmastiffs want to be part of the family, so even in a crate they will be much happier in a room full of people than off to the side when they can't see anyone.
�After your bullmastiff is successfully housebroken, remove the door from the crate. Now your bullmastiff has its own private space and can come and go in the house as it pleases.
The smallest breed of dog recognized by the American Kennel Club is the Chihuahua, which stands six to nine inches at the top of the shoulders and generally weighs two to six pounds. Their size makes them excellent travel companions.
If you keep these tips in mind and put in the due diligence the first couple months to get your bullmastiff on the right track, you will not only have a well trained house pet, but will save yourself more time in training and re-training.
Done effectively, crate training is the perfect way to train your pet to be a part of the family.
