TIP #1 Don't rub their nose in it. Some stupid people have suggested that when an accident during house breaking happens, and they DO happen, you should rub your dogs nose in the mess. All this does is hurt your trust relationship with your pet and opens the possibility of a big vet bill because of the infection you can cause rubbing a sensitive nose in excrement. DON'T DO IT!

TIP#2 Take the time to learn your dogs behavior traits. All dogs, no matter what type have certain things they do before going to the bathroom. Maybe it's sniffing around the house or turning in circles a few times. Most will squat to pee. Getting to your puppy before they actually go, even if it's in mid squat, is the perfect time to re-enforce that the best place to go to the bathroom is outside.

This is done by immediately taking your dog to the door and giving them praise and exciting attention. Next, take them outside and wait for them to do their business. This gives you yet another chance to give them praise for going to the bathroom outside.

The key is to understand that by giving them praise, your dog associates going to the door then going outside to use pee and poop as pleasing you. So from a dogs perspective, we want to encourage this thought--

Please you = go outside to relieve themselves = GOOD = Praise

Puppy House Training is not difficult but care must be taken no to allow bad habits to creep into your schedule.


TIP#3 Speaking of consistency, use only one word to mean one thing. Don't use Bathroom one time, then potty the next. Your pet has enough trouble figuring out what you want without having you use different words that mean the same.

TIP#4 Watch your puppy or have them crated whenever they're not outside. Crate Training is based on you getting and keeping control of your pets actions while indoors. This means that unless they're being supervised, they need to be confined to the safety of their crate.
