House Training Your Dog: Pay attention and be vigilance at all time!

A dog is instinctively unwilling to soil and dirty its nest. In house training your dog, you must effectively take advantage of this inborn instinct to your advantage. Teach your dog that its nest is actually the whole of the house. House training is not difficult if you know what to do, but it still largely depends on your attention and vigilance!

For your information, young puppies cannot control their bladder for long periods of time until they are at least 6 months old (may varied from breeds). A puppy compare to a dog will need to relieve itself about every 25-35 minutes (increases as puppy grow) or immediately after eating, playing, waking up, excitement and confinement.

Visual Cues

Learn to spot visual cues as to when your puppy needs to relieve. In most cases, the puppy will start to run in circles and sniff around the floor. Grab her quick and bring her to where you want her to relieve – outside or inside (paper training).

Outdoor / Paper Training

As your dog begins to relieve herself, you should teach her a command or words that you have chosen to associate with toileting, for example, “go potty” or “do it now”. Use the command consistently when your dog is relieving, and in time she will learn to associate this command with toileting.

(You can use a larger size paper when you start training and reduce its size over time)

Give Praise

After your dog has finished her business, give praise and reward immediately. Allow your dog to know that she has please you by relieving in the correct place.

Accidents Will Happen

When you caught your dog relieving in the house, let her know that she has make a mistake by saying negative words like “bad girl”, or “nope”.

If you didn’t catch your dog in the act, please take a deep breath and let the matter rest. Because it’s useful to punish your dog after the act as delayed punishment is beyond your dog’s comprehension.
