[BlindTlk] How do the blind House Break?

[Julie Johnson]

Yes, some breeds are easier.  Housebreaking is pretty much the same for 
sighted people and blind people.  You'll want to keep the dog on leash and 
with you so you can monitor him.   Sighted people can see the puppy from 
across the room and will notice sniffing, circling or pacing that indicate 
the puppy is getting ready to go.  If you have the puppy on leash you should 
be able to notice these indicators.

Very young puppies, like 8 to perhaps 12 weeks, do not have the ability to 
hold it for very long.  They should go out every two hours or so during the 
day.  It's unlikely that a very young puppy will be able to go a full 8 
hours at night, but that shouldn't take too long to work up to.  A schedule 
of feeding, water, sleep and play times will help you be able to identify 
the puppies patterns and schedule accordingly.

If you are trying to housebreak an adult dog, there are likely other health 
or behavior things going on.  If the dog has learned bad habits, you are 
undoing that as well as teaching new good habits.  It takes some time.

Hi,

Same as sighted, did you purchase a crate?
My dog freaked out when he wizzed his bed in the crate but he only did it
once.

How do the blind House break a dog? I'm totally blind and have tried
unsuccessfully with two dogs and have ended up having to give them away
because of this. Are certain breeds easier?
