Housebreaking Any Dog

Housebreaking Any Dog
By Ron Smarjess
Whether you are looking into housebreaking an older dog, or housebreaking a puppy, old school dog housebreaking tips should not be used. These tips are outdated. When your puppy eliminates where he should not, never put his face in his own mess. Puppies are too young to understand what you are trying to tell them and this only causes fear. The golden rules for housebreaking are consistency and praise for good behavior. Punishing your dog for poor behavior is usually ineffective. Here are tips for housebreaking a puppy. These tips can be useful for housebreaking an older dog as well.
DO:
* Take your puppy out every two hours as well as after eating, waking, playing and before bed-time.
* Pick your puppy up and take him to his place of elimination. Stick to the same place.
* Allow your puppy to eliminate multiple times during one outing to avoid unwanted accidents later.
* If you catch your puppy eliminating where he should not, clap your hands, pick him up and bring him where he should eliminate. Then say, "you potty here".
* Verbally praise and offer your puppy a treat immediately after he eliminates where he should.
* Keep a very close eye on your puppy so that you catch him in the act

DOG HOUSE TRAINING PRODUCT REVIEW. The Ultimate House Training Guide.This handy volume is a comprehensive guide to what's possibly the most common issue faced by any and all dog-owners (and the one that causes the most tearing out of hair): house training. Few aspects of dog ownership cause so much frustration! Theories - good, bad and ugly - positively abound on the topic. You can find a plethora of conflicting arguments almost anywhere you choose to seek information on the subject, whether it's online (o, the staggering variation on the "The Only Way To House train Your Dog!" theme to be found here!), at your local library, through contact with dog trainers, or through the (less reputable but nevertheless prolific) ranks of "quack" dog trainers : aka, those frustrating people with absolutely no qualifications (and sometimes no dog!), but with enough front and flamboyance to fool the less suspicious of us into handing over our hard-earned cash...

if he eliminates where he should or should not.
* Utilize training tools such as the UGODOG puppy potty.
* Utilize potty pads enhanced with pheromones to encourage usage.
* Utilize obedience-training class to help with housebreaking.
DON'T:
* Punish him when he has an accident. He cannot connect his unwanted behavior with the punishment. He will think eliminating all together is "bad".
* Praise your puppy when he eliminates where he should if you have not seen him eliminate. Your puppy will not associate his proper behavior if he is not praised immediately.
* Give treats other than when your puppy eliminates where he should. If he gets treats for no reason, he will not associate treats with proper behavior for proper elimination. Leigh Adams is an avid dog owner and pet trainer. She recommends using a dog training collar or electronic dog collars to quickly train any dog. With just a little practice and consistency anyone can train their dog to be a model dog.
