How To House Train Your Puppy

Filed under Dogs

House training is important in training your puppy. You mush first know the initial steps in how to house train puppy. Trying too much can be frustrating. Let’s discuss some tips that you can use to house train your puppy which is less stressful for both you and your dog.

It is important to learn how to potty train dog when it is still a puppy. What it learns at the early stages of his life, will carry over for the rest of his life. The biggest cause of owners releasing their dogs to shelters is because of house training issues.

It might take 6 months before your new dog is properly house trained. This is because they do not have the control of their bladder until they get to be about 6 months old.

Put your dog in a small space when you are not around. As the puppy gets older he will go in less of the room and more on just his potty area.

Some helpful tips to remember are:

- Have your space in the toilet area be unique and not resemble other parts of your home.

- Let your puppy have easy access to this toilet space. It is a good idea to take your dog to the toilet room every forty five minutes.

- Give your dog affection and support when he is obedient and goes where he is supposed to.

 

Some things to remember not to do:

- Do not let the puppy walk all over the house until he has been properly house trained.

- Do not yell at the puppy when it goes in the wrong place.

- Feed your dog during a regular schedule. Do not leave food out.

We have discussed ways in which to help your dog become house trained. Tips on what to do and what not to do. Be consistent, loving and provide your dog with treats when it goes in the right spot. Enjoy your puppy and have fun with the process of house training a puppy.

Dog Training Issues – Not Coming When Called

Filed under Dogs

Dog owners should realize that a dog should come to you when he is called. Most owners do not recognize this as a problem before it happens. The dog might break free from you and go after someone. This of course is not safe for other people or the dog. It could be serious for the dog if there are cars around when he decides to go for a “run”.

Some blame has to go to the owners. Some owners let their dogs run around without a leash. Obedience for dogs training should be started when the dog is young. The dog believes it can have a lot of fun when running around outside without its owner whether at the beach or the park. This association of fun without the owner can cause him to think that being with the owner is not fun. The dog training leash can become a negative in the dogs mind.

Because this can be negative, the dog might not come at first when called. The dog, having so much fun without the owner will continue to want to have fun without him.

You want to prevent this pattern from happening in the first place. The time it spends running around with other dogs should not be more fun than the time it spends with you. Be there when your dog is playing and take control and supervise. If your canine has already learned this negative behavior, he needs to be retrained. An important command that your dog needs to obey is the “come here” command.

Don’t use this come here command and then give any negative behavior towards your dog. If you call your dog and then right away do something to him that he does not like, like bathing him, then he will not be too enthusiastic to come later on first call. If you are going to do something the dog does not like, like going to the vet, first play with him after you call him.

Reward the dog when it comes to you by showing some affection or giving it a snack. This is positive dog training.
