When the thought or the discussion of getting a new puppy or dog arises another thought comes to mind and that is how to house train it. It is not that difficult at all to house train a dog but it takes much time and patience.
When you are setting out to house train your new dog it is best to house train it at a very young age. It is possible to teach an old dog new tricks however it is a bit harder. When house training you need to cater to your dog. You need to teach your dog how to go outside to use the bathroom the very first thing. Do not try to teach your dog anything else but this, we it gets where to use it then you can move on.
Remember taht you will nat have results overnight. It may take several days and in many case many weeks to house train your dog. Many dogs are very stubborn and they try to be the one in control you need to prevent your dog form thinking this way and you need to be the master.
Every person who is in the household needs to know what you expect of the dog. If you are trying to break the dog of a certain habit and another person in the house is allowing it then it can make the dog a confused creature.
Remember that when you are starting to house train your dog that you will not see results right away. You need to have patience and be very consistent. All of your efforts will eventually pay off and you will have a dog that knows where to use the bathroom and know who the master is. This is what we all want to achieve in the long run isnt it – a well trained (house trained) dog we would be proud to show off to anyone – and a carpet that no longer smells?
