Effective Puppy House Training

Effective Puppy House Training

by Shelly Ballard

If you want to keep your house clean after deciding to adopt a new puppy, you need to insist on puppy house training rules. Each new puppy and its owner needs to work through house training. All puppies are different, some pick up things rather fast and some don't. It can take a while to see a difference once you start your puppy house training, so don't get frustrated. Keep being consistent, loving, and patient and your puppy will learn what you want.

In the Puppy's Mind

Understanding how your puppy thinks can make puppy house training much easier. The word clean holds a different meaning for your puppy than it holds for you. In your opinion, your puppy should go to the yard if he needs to go to the bathroom, however, your puppy is only worried about going to the bathroom when nature calls, wherever that may be. Using the bathroom away from their food and bed, the basic health and safety rule of nature, is your puppy's only concern. From their perspective, anywhere away from their food and bed is the perfect place. You must teach your dog that places that may be acceptable to him are not necessarily acceptable to you, you must lead him to the spot that you have chosen for him.

Anticipating the Signs

During the first couple of weeks of a puppy, the early warning signals aren't always easy to read, so you need to find a way to understand this as soon as possible. Choose a location soon that is close to the puppy's food, bed, or play area. It is very rewarding to be able to anticipate when your puppy needs to go outside. In general, puppies have to "go" after waking up, eating, drinking, getting excited, or playing as well as every hour in between!

As you get to know your puppy, you will get to learn the various signs that he needs to go out to the bathroom. Common signals that your puppy needs to go are circling a single spot, smelling the ground persistently and holding their tail up high. All you should do if this happens is get your dog and go to the area that you have designated as their toilet area. Taking these steps will ensure that puppy house training is successful.

Even the best trained dogs will occasionally have small accidents when they are very excited or when greeting friends and family members. This type of response is natural and is called submissive urination. You shouldn't treat this differently from regular house training. You should never go as far as punishing you dog, even if other accidents occur. Punishing a house training pup will only lead to confusion and more make the puppy feel the need to hide when it relieves itself.

Do not shout at your dog when he has an accident due to excitement, instead take a patient approach and work things out with him until the habit is broken. It is best to try to greet new people while you are both still outside and the setting is low key. Greet your dog gently and build up his or her confidence. If your puppy has an accident, it's best to just clean it up without making a big deal of it.Your dog will soon stop having accidents, and you can congratulate yourself on successfully concluding another round of puppy house training. - 20511
