It's a serious business having a puppy or a dog. Sure it's fun but expect there to be work involved as well. And one of the first jobs you'll need to tackle when you have a new puppy or dog in the house is to house break your puppy. It can be less than fun to house break puppies.
Unless you know what you're doing it can be quite hard house breaking puppy.
And if you get it wrong the results can be disastrous for your puppy, for you and for your family. House training a puppy correctly is a must.
And of course not everyone starts with a puppy, there are some people who, through various circumstances, end up with a full grown dog that needs house training. Again it's not all that hard to potty train a full grown dog - provided you know what you're doing.
Now I'm not going to tell you all the steps to house breaking puppies here, I don't have the space or time, and I reserve that for my website. But I will offer a few tips here where I have space.
Firstly remember that you rule the house. In your dog or puppy's eyes you are the boss dog, you need to remember that. It is you who sets the rules and you who enforces them. This certainly doesn't mean that you punish your dog for breaking the rules of potty training, punishment isn't effective, but it does mean that you should learn exactly what you need to do to potty train your puppy, then follow through consistently.
But you do need to be firm and consistent setting the rules.
Instead of punishing your dog for a breach of the rules you need to use positive reinforcement. In the past it the accepted wisdom was to show him the rules, for example where his potty place was, then punish him for every breach till he got it right. This can take a long time and subject you both to a lot of stress.
And potty training a puppy is a process that takes as long as it takes. Regardless of how long it takes. Every dog or puppy is different. There is no recommended time, it will take as long as it takes. It will work if you're doing it right, it just may not work tomorrow.
Don't expect immediate results. Be happy if you get them, but keep at it if you don't.
House breaking a puppy is a procedure. You need to learn the right procedure then follow it for as long as it takes for your puppy to get it. Be consistent, don't punish, keep the training up and every puppy can be house trained.
It's as much about you as him. You must know exactly what you are doing before starting, and stick at it. Find out much more on my website. - 20763
