How to House Train a Dog

by Craig Clemins

When you introduce a dog to your house, especially if it's an older dog, you may well find that you need to re-train it on a few of the fundaments and house rules. Crate training is one process that works particularly well to house train dogs and it also minimizes the number of accidents that occur.

Use of the cage (or crate) would be a great way to teach your dog that is older and it works particularly well for people who are extremely busy with work and other activities, or just plain lazy. Training older dogs to take to the cage is an easy process that can be accomplished quickly and efficiently without driving you completely crazy.

Older dogs are usually harder to train than younger dogs as they have some habits that will usually hinder them from taking to the training as it would a younger dog. However they can be trained it just make take a little longer. You will need to be extremely consistent with the training of an older dog, especially if you are cage training them. In order for this process to work you will need to follow some very easy steps that must be followed to the letter and kept up on a regular basis.

To start with you need to determine how long you can spend with your dog training him each day. Make sure that whatever amount of time you decide on you can stick to it. For some people, 15 - 20 minutes training your dog each morning fits in best, while for others training at night before bed time is more convenient. Work out what works for you and stick to it. Don't change the training time or duration until your dog is becoming more proficient.

You will need to take your dog outdoors soon after getting up in the morning, you should accompany him outdoors and bring him back indoors, keep an eye on his behavior. You must also start his commands outdoors, by telling him to go to the bathroom, using one or two words that you will use regularly so that he or she can learn that this word means that it is time to go to the bathroom. When he has accomplished your command then you will want to gently, without making too much of a fuss, praise your dog for their efforts. They will learn that this is a good thing to do and will work that much harder to please you.

When you are house training your dog you must be firm and consistent with your commands. Establishing yourself as the dog's leader will make the training much more effective and your dog will take you much more seriously. - 20511
