House Dog
Training
Your
dog will be your best friend for life. All he wants is to love you and
serve you as his leader. House dog training is probably one of the most
important issues you will have to deal with. Many people struggle with
this problem mainly because the dog doesn't understand what you want
him to do.
Always give him loads of praise when he does well, try not
to shout at him if he makes a mess especially if you come home and find
he has eliminated because he wont associate the telling off with him
making a mess. Be patient with him.
House dog training a puppy does not need
to be difficult, but it is important to take the process seriously,
plan ahead and take things slowly. Some dogs will be easier to house
break than others, so it important to work with your dog. Rushing the
process can be counterproductive and cause you to have to start all
over again.
When it comes to house dog training a new
puppy, it is important to know what to expect. Unless the owner is able
to supervise the puppy round the clock, it is difficult to complete the
house training process until the dog is at least six months old. It is
important to know this ahead of time so you can be prepared.
Young
puppies have bodies that are constantly changing and growing, and
puppies younger than six months often have not developed the bowel and
bladder control they will need proper house training.
When the owner is not at home, the
puppy should be confined to a small room and the entire floor should be
covered with paper. Of course it is important to puppy-proof the room,
that is removing any items on which the puppy could be injured. In the
beginning, the puppy will most likely eliminate anywhere within the
room.
In addition, the puppy will probably play with the papers,
chew
them, etc. This is perfectly normal and should not be grounds for
punishment or distress. Cleaning up each day should simply be part of
the routine of living with a new puppy. Simply clean up the soiled
papers and put down new ones each day.
Time for the next stage in dog
house training
During the time that the puppy is
confined in its little den, it will begin to develop the habit of
eliminating on paper. After a little time has passed, the puppy will
begin to exhibit a preferred place to eliminate. After this preferred
spot has been established, the area that is papered should be slowly
diminished. The first papers to be removed should be those that are
furthest away from the “toilet”.
Eventually, the owner will have to lay
down only a few papers. If the puppy ever misses those papers, it means
that the papered area has been reduced too much and too soon.
After the puppy is reliability doing
its business only on the papers that have been left, the papers can be
slowly and gradually moved to a location of your choice. The papers
should be moved only gradually, as little as an inch a day. If the
puppy misses the papers, again it means that they have been moved too
soon and too far. In this case it will be necessary to go back a few
steps and start over. It is important not to become discouraged. The
puppy will eventually understand the concept, and you will be able to
choose your puppies toilet area and move on to the next step.
Dog House training when the owner is home
Obviously the more time you can spend
with your puppy the faster the house training will go. The objective
should be to take the puppy to the toilet area every time he needs to
do his business. In most cases this will be either every 45 minutes,
right after each play session, after he first wakes up or right after
he eats or drinks. It is important to provide effusive praise for the
puppy when he eliminates in the established toilet area.
As the puppy becomes
more used to
using his toilet area, and as he develops improved bladder and bowel
control, he will be able to begin spending more and more time outside
his den with his owner in the rest of the home.
It is important to allow the puppy in the extra room only when he
can be supervised. When you must leave the room, be sure to put the
puppy back in his den. This way dog house training becomes successful
quite quickly. There may be times when your dog has the odd accident
but do not shout at him as he will not understand his wrong doing.
