See How To House Train A Dog Effortlessly In Only One Day
House training is a very important event in a dog's life. It secures a tight bond and healthy relationship between the master and the dog. Professional dog trainers recommend that house training should start during a dog's early years. Your dog's bad behavior will be easier to correct as he gets older, because obedience training occurred during the time he was most receptive to following instructions. Therefore, the sooner you learn how to house train a dog, the more behaved your dog will be in the future.
Here are some basic steps on how you should start to house train a dog.
Give Him His Own Space
The untrained puppy or dog should not be allowed to roam around the house, without any supervision. You may not realize it yet, but your pet may already be chewing on harmful things and worse, may get themselves injured or electricuted. If you are at home, make certain to keep him in a place where you can see what he's doing. If there ever comes a time that he'll be left by himself, better place him in a den or crate. Give him a place to sleep of his own that may include a blanket or pillow , some toys, and a bowl for both water and food. Let him have time to play freely, so he can get enough exercise.
Introduce Him to New Areas
After you have taught him how to behave in his own space, it is now time to introduce him to other areas of the house. Make sure to spend quality time with him in each new area. If you want to show him a new spot where he will eat, do it under your constant direction. Introduce him to each section of the house, and make apparent what he is allowed and not allowed to do in them. Do this by restraining him with a dog leash, so as to control his movement. Unleash him when you think he's gotten use to the new areas. But, remember to keep watch or else he might get into stuff and cause mischief.
Potty Train Him
Show him the place where he can go potty. Be careful not to confuse him. Never allow him to play in that area or he may decide that he can use the same spot for all his activities.
Let Him Understand The "No Chew" Command
By nature, dogs enjoy chewing on things, since it helps in the strengthening of their teeth and gums. It is also sort of a healthy activity for their jaws. Part of training your dog is furnishing him with things that he may bite on, and let him know that not all things are used for strengthening his teeth and gums. Be serious as you give him the "No chew" command. Applaud him whenever he does obey and give him a treat.
Set Off Limit Areas
It is very important that you keep your dog out of any place in the house that has furniture or electrical wiring lying on the floor. Give him the "Out" command and when he does follow it, gently pat him on the head showing your pleased.
Remember, the sooner you start, the more obedient your dog will act when he is around other people. Dedicate a hour or two towards house training your dog and you'll both be happier for it.
