how to housebreak three pomeranian puppies?
how can i housebreak them they are 5 weeks old and the poop and pee all over the house!!!!
they are still with their mom!!!!!!
DUH…thats what BABIES do…when they are about 10 weeks old, weaned and on puppy food, then maybe you can start housebreaking them.
Take them out 10 min after every meal, and every hour or so, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week until they get the idea. Crate when unsupervised.
good luck

That’s what puppies do … they need to stay with their mother until they are at least 8 weeks old, 10-12 weeks would be better. Until they are weaned, keep them contained in one area with an exercise pen and on a easy to clean surface. You can’t expect young pups like these to "housebreak" at all.

1) why do you have 5 week old puppies?
2) they are 5 weeks old! you cant expect them to be house trained overnight! prepare to work on this for at least 3- 4 months.

they are to young to start even taking outside…wait till they have had at least one puppy shot at 6 weeks old if you have a fenced in yard…or 2 if you don’t…i never start housebreaking mine till they have had at least one puppy shot to protect them from parvo and distemper…but i have a fenced in yard…

it is almost impossible to house train dogs that young. and u shouldn’t even HAVE puppies that young. you can’t expect to house break them if they are that young.

Good luck. You have made two very critical mistakes:
Taking a puppy from the mother before it is 8 weeks old.
Getting more than one puppy.
That being said, crate train them!
If you can’t watch them, put them in crates. Their own crates, not all together. The crate should be large enough they can sit up, stand up, turn around, and lie down stretched out,but no larger. Any larger, they will pee in one end and sleep in the other. But if you get a properly sized crate, they will not want to mess up where they sleep. Do not use the crate as a punishment!
Restrict their access to other rooms by closing doors or using baby gates so they can’t get out of your sight.
Take them out every two hours PLUS after waking up from naps, after eating, drinking, playing, and right before bedtime.
Feed them only at particular meal-times. This will allow you to know when they will have to go out.
Clean your carpets with a cleaner designed to eliminate pet odors. If you do not clean thoroughly, they will smell the old pee smell and think it is still acceptable to use as a bathroom.
Keep in mind, Pomeranians are smaller dogs, and will take longer to develop the bladder control needed for housebreaking. However, you have to be persistent and consistent.
