No Idea How To House Break Your Puppy?

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 get it right it can be a bit of a disaster for puppy and for you and for the entire household.

And you may not even be trying to house train a puppy. For some reason or other you may have just acquired an adult dog, and need to house train him. Now of course that’s quite possible too, but can be a disaster if you don’t know what you’re doing.

It takes more than a page to set out everything you need to know about house breaking puppies and dogs, I keep that for my website. But there’s a few things you should know at the start.

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.

Don’t expect immediate results. Be happy if you get them, but keep at it if you don’t.

Remember like lots of other things it’s the process that matters. Learn the right process, follow it consistently and it will work, when it works.

It’s a simple process. Learn how to housebreak puppy, follow the procedure consistently and keep at it for as long as you need. Find out more about house breaking puppies on my website.
