Start by selecting a toilet area and always take Buddy to that spot when you
want him to eliminate. If possible, pick a place in a straight line from the
house. Carry your puppy or put him on leash. Stand still and let him concentrate
on what he’s doing. Be patient and let him sniff around. After he’s done,
tell him what a clever puppy he is and play with him for a few minutes. Don’t
take him directly back inside so that he doesn’t get the idea that he only gets
to go outside to do his business and learns to delay the process just to stay
outside.

Keep your eyes open for signs Take your puppy to his toilet area after waking up,
shortly after eating or drinking, and after he has played or chewed.
A sign that he has to go out is sniffing the ground in a circling motion.
When you see your puppy sniffing and circling, take note! He’s letting you
know that he’s looking for a place to go. Take him out to his toilet area so he
doesn’t make a mistake.

When you come upon an accident, always keep calm. Put your dog out of
sight so he can’t watch you clean up. Use white vinegar or a stain remover.
Don’t use any ammonia-based cleaners, because the ammonia doesn’t neutralize
the odor and the puppy will be attracted to the same spot.

nice info.. thumbs up!!!

Unsaon mn pagtrain sa puppy lab na dle magpaakpaak og taw(playing around)...frustrating mn pd kaau ky mugara if badlongon...

additional info:

patience is the key.. small pup = small bladder.. dili na sila kapugong asa malibang.. kun matungnan, mangihi/malibang na sila bisan asa... take him out after every meal, and eventually, maanad na siya..

naa sad times na dako2x na siya sige gihapon pangihi inside, juz remember, na theyre just using their animal instincts para mag-mark sa territory.. its just like saying "HEY!!! THIS IS MY HOUSE", this time... distract him when his about to do it... tawga pagawas, or throw sumthing outside and let him fetch it...

remember to disinfect ang mga lugar nga naa poop/urine...

give him toys to chew on... invest on kong toys... or you can make DIY pisi na himoung ball.. dogs love moving toys..

supervise sad bro, kay basin iya matun, indigestion dayn...

additional info: never feed your dog: chicken bones/chocolates/food with too much onion...

I agree! Invest on Kong toys or any chew toys for that matter. They would serve as the object for which your puppy can vent all his teething issues. It also helps on bite inhibition. Si Cosmo ko, he is still teething kaya whenever we see him attempting to bite our slippers or any object for that matter, I just throw his favorite bone chew toy and he would chase after it. Mind you, he already destroyed his first chew toy after 3 days of giving it to him. Better mag supply ka ng marami.

yeah, big dogs are strong chewers... my pit even chewed on water hoses/bike tires.. putol jud..
ayaw jud sila pasakiti after.. remember theyre just dogs... kita ang responsible sa ilaha actions... bad or good...

pasted from other site:

There is an array of illnesses and other problems that can cause blood in the urine of your cat, dog or other pet.

Technically called hematuria, bloody urine can indicate a serious life-threatening problem, therefore it’s not a situation that should be ignored. Prompt veterinary attention is key to ensure a good outcome for an ill or injured pet.

"This is part of why I recommend accompanying a dog when he goes outside to do his business and cleaning the cat's litter box frequently - you can't treat a problem if you don't know it exists and a problem like blood in the urine could easily be missed if you send your dog outside to do his business alone, or if you don't change the litter frequently," explained Dr. Michael Levine, DVM.
Causes of Hematuria

According to Dr. Levine, there are several common causes of this condition.

* Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): Infection can cause inflammation in the animal’s bladder and urinary tract and this can result in bleeding, leading to blood in the urine of a dog or other pet. Other symptoms of a UTI include frequent urination, painful urination (the animal often cries out during urination), straining, fever and licking of the genitals. The treatment for a pet’s UTI typically includes a course of oral antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication.
* Bladder or Kidney Infection: Symptoms of a bladder or kidney infection are often very similar to a UTI. The treatment is similar. Diagnosis is often achieved by performing an exam, blood work, sonogram and a urinalysis.
* Bladder Stones: Bladder stones, also known as uroliths, are relatively common in animals. There are several types of bladder stones – calcium oxalate and struvite stones are most common – and they occur as a result of diet, body chemistry and other factors. The stones can cause irritation to the bladder and urinary tract, leading to inflammation and bleeding. Diagnostic measures include an exam, x-rays and urinalysis. Treatment varies from prescribing special foods, anti-inflammatory and other medications and surgical removal.
* Uterine Infection: In unspayed female cats, dogs and other pets, there is always a possibility of infection affecting the uterus. This can result in blood in the urine, along with other symptoms of tender abdomen, decreased appetite, abdominal pain and fever. Diagnosis is typically achieved through an exam, blood work, and urinalysis, among other measures. Antibiotics are the most common treatment.
* Prostate Infection or Disease: In intact males, infection or disease involving the prostate can result in blood in the urine. Other common symptoms include testicular/genital swelling, pain during urination, fever, frequent urination and difficulty urinating/straining. Diagnosis typically includes an exam and urinalysis, and treatment varies depending on the precise cause at hand.
* Trauma: Trauma to the abdomen can lead to internal injuries and bleeding. If the kidneys, bladder or urinary tract are damaged, the dog, cat or other pet may have bloody urine. Treatment and diagnosis varies.
* Poisoning: Certain toxins, like warfarin, which is contained in rat and mouse poisons, causes internal bleeding and a lack of blood clotting. Frequent urination and urinating blood is among the constellation of symptoms that’s seen in a pet who has been poisoned. Other symptoms of toxicity include vomiting, diarrhea, muscle tremors, seizure, drooling, panting, lethargy and disoriented behavior. Treatment varies depending on the toxin ingested.
* Tick-Borne Illnesses: One symptom of tick-borne illness is hematuria or blood in the urine. Serious kidney damage can result from Lyme Disease and other tick-transmitted diseases and this is thought to lead to blood in the urine. Diagnosis and treatment is comprehensive, and varies from case to case. Long-term antibiotic and anti-inflammatory treatment is favored for treatment of Lyme Disease, though other measures may be necessary if serious kidney damage has resulted.
* Tumor Growth: Malignant and benign tumors can form in the kidneys, bladder and urinary tract. Bleeding can result from these growths. The diagnostic measures and treatment techniques are comprehensive for tumors and growths. Measures can include x-rays, explorative surgery, surgical tumor excision or radiation.

“If your pet has blood in the urine, this really isn’t a problem you should ignore. Unfortunately, there’s little that can be done at home to treat the problem, as you’ll have no idea what’s causing the condition. But providing supportive measures – like providing fluids and nutritional supplementation - can help during the hours before an appointment, “ Dr. Levine concluded.
