Having Trouble House Breaking Puppy?

Having Trouble House Breaking Puppy?

by Peter Albertony

Having a puppy or a dog is a serious business. It's fun for sure, but there's some work involved. And one of the first things you'll need to tackle when you have a new puppy is house breaking your puppy. Potty training puppies is no picnic.

That's not to say it's necessarily all that hard, just that it can be if you don't 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 it may not even be a puppy you're house breaking. Not everyone starts with a puppy, some for various reasons end up with an adult dog. Not that it's impossible to house train an adult dog, but like a puppy you need to know what you're doing.

I'm short of space here to give you all the steps for house breaking puppies and dogs, and I like to keep those secrets for my website. But there's a few points that I can make about it.

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 you do need to be firm and consistent setting the rules.

Instead of punishing your dog for a breach of the rules you need to use positive reinforcement. In the past it the accepted wisdom was to show him the rules, for example where his potty place was, then punish him for every breach till he got it right. This can take a long time and subject you both to a lot of stress.

And be prepared to do whatever it takes to successfully train your puppy or dog. Every puppy is different, just like kids are different. Some will get the message quite fast and if you use the correct methods to train him will be successfully trained in no time. Others will take quite a while. Understand that it's a process that you and your puppy need to go through that, even if you are doing everything right, will take as long as it takes.

It may take a while, it may not. Expect it to take while and be surprised if it doesn't.

House breaking a puppy is a procedure. You need to learn the right procedure then follow it for as long as it takes for your puppy to get it. Be consistent, don't punish, keep the training up and every puppy can be house trained.

It's about you as much as it's about him. Know what you're doing and do it as long as you need to, consistently. Find out more advice about house breaking puppy at my website. - 20511
