House Training Your Dog, How To Do It
While Avoiding The Most
Common Problems

While house training a dog, there are many important factors you need to keep in mind. You have to maintain a schedule throughout the entire process. That is the most common problem when trying to house train a dog, if you set yourself up on the same schedule everyday then it makes it easier for your dog to understand how long they need to hold it.

Another important key to house training a dog is to be patient. You have to stay on the schedule for a long time so your puppy is fully house trained and it doesn’t come back and forget after a week of doing this. You need to stick with it for months before they will 100% understand what they are doing. You must understand that puppies can only hold their urine for about two hours, so make sure you are able to care for a puppy before getting one. If you work eight hours out of the day and are never home, then it might not be the right time to try training a puppy.

Dogs must be given plenty of time to eliminate their bowels after eating. Give them time to digest there food and then walk them knowing they will have to go soon. This will ensure they don’t have an accident while they are inside. Also, dogs do not urinate or defecate indoors out of spite. This is not something they know how to do; they don’t understand the human emotion of revenge. The most common reason they do this indoors is to mark over old scents, which is territorial or if they have medical problems. You will need to focus on the positive and not the negative.

You are better off rewarding the dog when they go outside and eliminate than scolding the dog when they have an accident. 9 times out of 10 its your fault when they have the accident, if its not sticking to the schedule you set up or you didn’t allow them enough time to go when they were outside. If you praise your dog and use the positive reinforcement method of house training a dog then you will see how quickly your dog learns. Keep this in mind next time they have a little accident on the floor, quickly get them outside so they know this is the correct spot to go and not inside on the floor.
