With the right tools, tips and techniques, you will be well on your way to enjoying the company of a well behaved, reliably house trained dog in no time.

If you want your puppy to be happy, you need to realize that they need to be able to spend time indoors with you. Most dogs prefer to enjoy interacting and being with their human family and not living alone outdoors.

Contrary to some pet owners, proper crate training methods are not cruel or unkind to your pet. Being kept outside for years because you didn't teach them that using your living room as a bathroom was not ok is truly cruel to a social animal like a puppy.

TIP #1 Yelling in anger at your dog can make them afraid of you and mistrustful. It can cause your Dog to hide in another room to go to the bathroom. Yelling, hitting and threatening your pet only results in setting up a relationship based on fear and not trust and enjoying being together.

TIP#2 It's consistency that counts. Your consistency will go a long way toward associating going outside to urinate and your happiness. Your dog wants to please you so the more you can do to help her associate pleasing you with certain behaviors, the easier those behaviors are to learn and remember.

Another idea is to be aware of your puppy's schedule. If they like to wake up and play, try to be available to play with them at that time. Working an active pup up in this way can stimulate their appetite and thirst. After they visit the water or food dish, take them outside to allow them to use the bathroom. Stay with them. This will give you the chance to give them loads of praise when they do go.

TIP#3 Use single word commands. Don't use potty one time, then bathroom the next then something else the next. Use consistency in your commands so your puppy knows what you're talking about.

TIP#4 While a dog pen or cage can be used for crate training it isn't a house training method but only a tool. Crate Training is a way to keep control of your pet whenever you aren't able to keep a watchful eye on them. This includes not only during the day but also night time as well.
