You should waste no time starting the process of housebreaking your new dog -- once you have him home, you are ready to begin. One that can only lead to confusion for the dog later on is giving your new dog a little time to get to know the family and the house before laying down the law. Truthfully, you cannot expect a dog who has been allowed to have full run of the house to suddenly accept new rules and adapt quickly to housebreaking.
It Is Never Too Late
You are still able to fix the situation even if you have let your dog run free with no rules. Contrary to popular belief, it is never too late to start dog training. It doesn't matter if you have a puppy or an adult dog, it is possible to train them with housebreaking techniques until it is a habit. It is important to pick out the behavior that concerns you the most,whether it is dog chewing, dog biting, or dog growling that you are dealing with. After housebreaking them on the first behavior, then you can move on to the next.
You should start housebreaking your dog as soon as possible to ensure that your pet does not become aggressive. If the largest problem that you have at this time is potty training, then make that your first item to work on.
Tips For Housebreaking
* Appropriately restrict food and water to meal times
* If you are using pee pads then select one area and keep the pads there
* Praise the dog when good behavior is shown
* Don't hit the dog if he misses the pee pad
* After fifteen or twenty minutes of giving the puppy something to eat or drink, it needs to be taken to the pee pad
A lot of people leave water and food out for their dog all day long. Puppies should not be expected to hold their bladder the way that older dogs can. Young puppies do not have the ability to hold their bladder for long periods of time. This will cause more accidents in the house that are not the fault of the puppy. Making food and water constantly available can be counter-productive to your housebreaking goal.
Place the pee pad in the spot of the home where your puppy goes if he continues to miss the pee pad. At this point in housebreaking, you should really just be getting the puppy used to going to the bathroom on its puppy pad. Once your pet is used to this, you may progress the housebreaking by moving the 'pee pad' a small distance every day until it is eventually located where you want it.
While this housebreaking process may seem like it takes forever, it is extremely important. You certainly do not want your puppy or dog going to the bathroom everywhere. You also want to make the housebreaking process as easy as possible for your dog so it does not become discouraged. Seek outside help if need be. Just know that housebreaking takes time, no matter who is in charge of doing it. - 20511
