Housebreaking And Potty Training Your Puppy

Young pet dogs are inclined to answer natures call anytime and anywhere they feel like it. If you have a dog or puppy then you know by experience that whether it is your bedroom rug, the drawing room sofa, your Persian carpet or anything else your puppies will not hesitate going as long as they feel like it. That is way it is very important to housebreak your puppy or in other words you need to go through some basic potty training with them.

If you have just brought your puppy home and you are interested in saving your upholstery and carpets then you should read on about housebreaking and potty training.

House breaking is about teaching your furry friend that the world is not a bathroom. Just like us humans puppies like to go when they have to go. The difference is that we receive training from a very young age. Potty training is one of the first things we learn in life. Puppies don't have mother potty training them at the age of 1. That is why you should train your puppy as early as possible in life.

There are however some things to remember before you go about housebreaking a puppy. The first thing you should remember is that no pup is able to keep himself from relieving himself till about 12 weeks of age. Your attempts at training your dog therefore must begin before this. Another thing is that most puppies need to engage in bathroom related activities approximately 6-7 times a day.

Every time your dog seems to be following its tail rather slowly, and doing giddy rounds around a non-descriptive area put your shoes on to take it out cause it's getting ready to relieve itself.

The first thing you need to know when it comes to housebreaking is proper communication with your dog. Make sure you let your dog know that you don't like him peeing all over the drawing room loud and clear. Remember that there is absolutely no need to use violence. Raising your voice a little should do the trick. For best results catch him in the act so that he has no problem in associating the rebuke with the exact action.

In order to properly housebreak your puppy you will need to put in some work. For starters keep an eye out for your puppy. Look for signs and every time he looks like he is ready to go take him outside. Once he relieves himself at the right place pat him to show how much you appreciate the fact that he didn't pee all over your favorite rug. Give him a biscuit, and an appreciative nod and hell know.

Most dogs will do anything to get cuddled and patted by their masters, thus it's always easy to make them do things as per your requirements. If you want to see your dog properly potty trained and you want him to pee outside you need to show him how happy you are when he does so and heal do it always.
