It can be a drag house breaking puppies. If you're in the middle of the process you know what I mean. Having a new puppy or dog is a pleasure, but not always. One of the first things you need to learn is to potty train your puppy.
Surprisingly it's not hard, but it can be unless you know what you're doing.
And if you don't want a completely disrupted household then you need to get it right. For your sake, for your puppy's sake and for the sake of everyone else who lives in the house.
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.
First, always remember that you're the boss dog. Your dog or puppy expects you to set the rules of the house and he is prepared to follow them if you teach them correctly. Teaching them correctly doesn't involve punishing him for any infraction of the rules.
But regardless of this you need to be quite consistent in setting the rules and explaining them to him and training him to respect them.
In the past dog owners would show the potty place to the dog then punish him every time he got it wrong until he got it right. This is a recipe for serious household stress and failure. You need to use positive reinforcement.
And remember, every dog or puppy is different. For some it will take almost no time at all to potty train him. For others it will take much longer. Be prepared for this and accept that it will take as long as it takes, even if you are doing everything right.
It may take a while, it may not. Expect it to take while and be surprised if it doesn't.
House breaking a puppy is a process that both of you need to go through to the end. You need to learn exactly what to do, do it consistently for as long as it takes and you will succeed.
It's about you as much as it's about him. Know what you're doing and do it as long as you need to, consistently. Find out more advice about house breaking puppy at my website.
