Secrets of House Training Your Dog

Click Here to Potty Train Your Dog!

If you have ever wanted to get a dog, then you should know that there are secrets to housetraining a dog, too. Some of these are easier than others, but they can be very successful if you are willing to be diligent with the training. All dogs are different and some will inevitably learn faster than others. That is not to say that you should only buy smarter dogs, because if you exercise the right discipline and patience any dog can be trained.

One great method is associating a word, such as "potty" or "outside", with your trips out. If you get the dog used to hearing one particular word and go to the door that you would like for them to use at the same time, they will learn. Every dog loves association and when they can associate a task with a command you are teaching them.

Some people use the kenneling method to train. This is where you put the dog in a confined area until it is time to go out. The dog will instinctively not want to go in their home so they will be forced to hold it. But be careful with this technique. A dog does not know that you are taking them out soon so you have to start out with frequent trips and slowly increase the time in between trips.

There are some that rely on paper training to teach their canine. This is when you put paper down and teach the dog to go on the paper. Then you shorten the distance to the door with each trip until the dog is at the door. This is not a very reliable method since it involves catching the dog every time they have to go. If you are not there when they are ready they may not associate going on the paper. This method requires more time and attention that most people are willing to give.

These are some of the secrets of housetraining a dog. The important thing to remember is that they have to learn the same way each of us learned everything we know- by repetition and patience.
