Description
Housetraining your dog demands far more than a few heaps of old newspapers. This
training requires caution, perseverance, an abundance of commitment and most
importantly, regularity.
The greater consistency you are in adhering to the basic housetraining techniques, the
quicker your dog will become familiar with appropriate behavior. It may take a few
weeks to housetrain your pet, and with a few of the smaller breeds, a lot longer, but when
you succeed, it will be something you and your dog will benefit from for years to come.
When housetraining, it’s very important to establish a routine. Like babies, pups function
best on a regular routine. The timetable instructs him that there are times for everything:
eat, play, nap, and even eliminate. In most cases, a puppy can handle his bladder an hour
for every month of his age. Just be mindful to not go longer than this between toilet
breaks or he’s bound to have an accident. If you can monitor him all the time or can’t
come with him outside to eliminate, make sure that someone is there to accompany him
do his business.
Supervision is another key to a successful housetraining. Don’t give your dog a chance to
soil in inappropriate places. Keep an eye on him as much as you can. But whenever
you’re not able to do so, make use of confinement methods. With this, crating is your best
choice.
Lastly, don’t expect your dog to be all perfect. Few accidents in the house will happen,
even if he’s completely trained. If mishaps occur, avoid punishing him. Instead, teach and
remind him again what’s the right thing to do when he wants to relieve himself
