House Training Dogs Successfully
By: Simon Oliver
You could House train your dog easily if you had the time to watch your
puppy 24 hours a day. But as you can’t watch them around the clock, don’t
expect to train them all at once. Training can take up to about 6 months.
Puppies are growing and developing quickly at this stage. They eat more food
and burn up lots of energy and consequently need to ‘go’ more often.
The most important issue in house training a dog should be teaching him to
control his bowel. When he is still a puppy, he has not yet developed bladder
control.
House training dogs is hard when you are not home. Your puppy needs a lot of
attention. You should first confine your puppy in a puppy-proof room with paper
spread all over the floor. Put his water bowls and food right next to it. The
papers you have set on the floor may be dragged and chewed around his little den,
but it's important and helpful in teaching your puppy where to eliminate his waste
properly. There will be no reason for him to defecate elsewhere. Your puppy will
‘go’ on the paper, and you need to clean it up when you arrive home. This may be
an additional job for you, but patience is all it takes. Don’t worry because later
on, he will move past this stage.
Paper training is very useful and a proven technique in training dogs. In this way,
no matter where the dog relieves himself, he will still eliminate on the paper
because he has no choice. Little by little, you will see some changes. Gradually
reduce the amount paper you have set on the ground. Start to move the paper outside
the house. Of course, as your puppy has become used to using the paper he will look
for it. Once the paper has been moved to outside the house, your training is near
its end. Move the paper about an inch per day.
Occasionally, you may discover that he has had ‘accidents’ inside the house again.
Don’t be discouraged. This happens. What you need to do is repeat the training. But
understand that it will not be as hard as the first time. House training your dog is
key for both your dog and your sanity and sanitation
