Housetraining Your Puppy

Article Resource: http://www.dogtraininghq.com

Unfortunately, puppies don’t usually come house trained. You must realize that over the next few weeks YOU will need much patience and time to house train your puppy correctly.

If you want your pup to go to the bathroom outside, you need to pay attention to the times that he will be needing to use the bathroom. Activities like eating, drinking, playing and waking up from naps will all stimulate your pup to go. When he needs to go outside, it helps if you condition him by saying "outside" or "out" in a high-pitched tone of voice, just to get him used to the idea of where he is going. He will soon learn what you mean and that it is time to go to the bathroom.

You must establish where you want your puppy to eliminate. To do this correctly, you have to go outside with your pup every time he needs to go to the bathroom. By your being there, you can easily praise him as soon as he begins to sniff or squat to urinate. You need to praise him in a high-pitched tone of voice, so that he feels he is pleasing you each time he eliminates.

Another consideration in house training your puppy is controlled by when you feed your puppy. Most puppies eliminate within just a few minutes of their meals, so as soon as your puppy moves away from his food bowl, or after 10 minutes, whichever comes first, pick up the food bowl, and then immediately take him outside. Make sure to praise him quickly and soon because praising that comes after he is done, even after 10 seconds, does no good.
