If you have just picked out a new dog or puppy and plan to keep him or her inside, you need to get your dog house trained. There are several puppy house training techniques that will help you out and the method you choose to use will depend on your own personal preference and your family’s lifestyle.

One dog potty training technique is called paper training. Basically what you do is train your dog to go to the bathroom on paper in your house. Praising them when they do what you want is important and make sure you scold them when they go where they are not supposed to. You can combine this with the next technique to encourage them to go outside when possible, but use the paper if they have to go inside.

Many dog owners that have house dogs, will want to train their dogs to go outside. One way to go about doing this is to take your new dog or puppy out frequently and praise them when they go to the bathroom to let them know they did what you want. Just as above, scold them when they go inside. If you want to combine techniques, you can praise them a little bit when they go on the paper and praise them excessively when they go outside. This will show them that it is ok to use the paper, but much better to wait and go to the bathroom outside.

There are other techniques like crate training you may want to explore.

House training a new pet is the first thing that most new pet owners want to do. This can be frustrating, but if you have proven techniques, it is much easier.

Even if your dog won’t be a house pet, you still have a lot of training that needs to be done. You will want to control barking and keep them from jumping on people. You definitely need to make sure the dog doesn’t go around biting people. There is nothing that can ruin your dog ownership experience faster than a lawsuit because your dog bet somebody.

After you have the basics covered, you may need to stop other destructive behavior. Digging and chewing are two other common dog behavior problems. While digging is mostly an annoyance, chewing can be extremely expensive. All it takes is one pair of good shoes being chewed up and you paid for a dog training course.

Lets talk about your dog training options for a minute. Many people will try to train their dog with no special training by praising them when they do good, getting after them when they do something wrong, and showing them physically what they should do. While this can work if you have some experience, it is hard to know what to do if you don’t have a lot of dog training experience. This is where a professional trainer comes in. For $100 or so, you can usually get into a dog training class that meets once a week for a month or two. While this price is worth it, what if you could get help from a professional for a lot less money and you could train your dog on your own schedule without having to drive to a class somewhere?

When you begin to look for easy tips for puppy housebreaking you will find that there are a multitude of techniques and tips available. Some very basic puppy potty training tips will be of great help to you in making the task of housebreaking easy and quick. It will be important to remember that puppies are at a stage when they can easily develop bad habits, so making a commitment and being patient will help you to when you are working with your dog.

It is important that you remember that yelling and rubbing their nose in the mess is not going to make a puppy “learn” to go potty outside more quickly. If anything, they will begin to smell the mess throughout the house and your training will be more difficult. So, these simple steps will be a great help when you are trying to find out how to potty train a puppy easily.

It will be much easier to train your puppy to go outside if you start training them to do so. While newspaper training is used by a lot of people, it is often hard to get the dog to go outside once they have got a spot in the home where they always go. Plan on training your dog to go outside from the very beginning.

set a schedule for potty time that includes when you get up, right after they eat or drink, after play time, and right before bed. Getting your dog used to a potty schedule will cut down on accidents and make training much easier. You also want to avoid giving your puppy food or snacks two hours before bedtime. Night time snacks usually create a morning mess.

When you puppy starts sniffing and turning in circles it wants to go outside. Pick your puppy up and say, “Time to go potty”, then take them out to go. If they go, praise the puppy, if they don’t, just let them in and try to catch them again when they start sniffing again.

When there is a mess, and there will be, clean it up immediately and use a deodorizer to remove any odor from the floor or carpet. If you praise the dog when you take it out, whether or not it goes potty, and ignore it when it makes an indoor mess, it will quickly connect the praise with doing it’s business outside.

Cues are one of the greatest tips for potty training. If you feed your dog canned food, then you are already aware that they will come the minute they hear the can opener. Use this technique as a training tool. Using a bell or timer set it for 45 minutes or an hour and when the bell rings, put the puppy outside to go potty.

If you are consistent with this method you will find that when they hear a bell, they will expect to go outside. Another twist on this is to use a little silver bell. If you tie it by the door, when your dog needs to go outside, it will ring the bell. This is a very easy and time saving “trick” to teach a dog. Creating habits is one of the great tips for housebreaking a puppy quickly and easily.

You must teach the dog to return to the place both in everyday life, and during special training. As conditioned stimuli the command and gesture may be, as unconditional – promoting and easy-jerk leash may serve.

A puppy begins to be taught to return to its place from the first days of his arrival in the house. This is the place where the rug (mat) should lie, and is designed to relax the puppy, as well as for its temporary accommodation in cases where it prevents people (while cleaning, eating, etc.).

Each time the puppy is full has played enough, it begins to lay down anywhere for a rest, you need to pick him up, bring to his place and after the command “place” put on the mat, repeat the command “Place” and pat then. At first, the puppy, usually tries to get up and run. In this case, keeping it on a bed, you should repeat the command “Place”, pat, and when he calms down, shouting encouraging “good”, stroking and delicacy, and depart then. If the puppy is asleep, this exercise can be completed. If he gets up and tries to settle down somewhere in another place, the exercise should be repeated. During the day, exercise should be repeated 3-4 times.

By this method trainers and owners usually teach the puppy to go on command “place” in cases where during the intake of food by people he will beg or during cleaning of apartments it will chase a broom, etc.

By the way

Let my parents forgive me, but the best bedding for a dog is a child’s mattress… It has ideal size and shape, but high enough to allow you to save a dog from a cold on the cold floor and drafts. And the price of the order of 50-120 $ in the stores for babies, is quite comparable to the cost of a decent dog place. Just do not talk to sellers, for whom you buy it…

Keep in mind that it is relatively easy to teach a puppy to the command “place” when he is tired or hungry. Much harder to do so when it excites the smell of food at the table or moving on the floor attracted with a broom or vacuum cleaner. In the first case, the skills are easily produced in young, 1-2-month old puppies, and the in second case in puppies that have reached 3 or 4 months of age and older. Gradually, your puppy will get used to run the command “place”.

Teach the puppy to the place and continue do it until the age of 3-6 months. But now, after the command “place” the puppy is not brought, but assigned to its place. This is done as follows. When you need to send a puppy to a place, it is called in and withdrawn to his place. Then repeat the command “place” and put the puppy on the mat, and then encourage with the exclamation “good”, stroking and snacking and departing then. Once the puppy has lied for a while, you call him and bit play with him. If, after the command “place” it does not go into place next to the master, repeat the command with more rigorous manner, and carry away behind him. If this fails, use a leash with a harness or a collar. You withdraw the puppy after the command “place” to his place on the leash, take off the collar or harness, put the puppy on the mat, while repeating the command “place” and encourage the exclamation “good” snacking and stroking. In the future, accompany a puppy to his place without a leash.

So you have chosen to add a baby Pit Bull to your family.  You have learned about its history as well as its unfair controversies.  You have taken your time, searched high and low, and finally found a number of good breeders who have perfect lovable litters for you to choose from.  Now comes the dilemma; which puppy should you pick?

Both Pit Bull males and females make equally good pets.  Males are a little larger than the females.  Some males mark their territory inside your house by urinating on your walls and furniture, a behavior that can be quite difficult to stop.  And because they are genetically inclined to attack, males tend to fight with other male dogs, especially with another male Pit Bull.  Female Pit Bulls also have the tendency to fight with each other, but are less likely to do so.  Furthermore, female Pit Bulls experience what is called “estrus” or heat cycle, twice a year.  Estrus lasts for three weeks, although neutering usually helps to avoid it. 

When deciding which Pit Bull puppy to pick out of the litter, try to choose the one with the best parents and grandparents you can find.  Keep in mind that although all Pit Bull puppies look extremely cute, their faces do change as they turn into adults.  If looks are important to you, be sure that the breeder has the look that you like.  You can determine how the puppies would look like as adults by looking at their parents and grandparents. 

Consider the basic features of a good Pit Bull.  Pit Bulls are very strong and athletic dogs.  The puppy of your choice should display strength, vigor, speed, and energy.  Watching how the parents act will give you a good idea of the puppy’s potential temperament.  If the parents show signs of curiosity, enthusiasm, and positive energy, their puppies will more likely develop the same traits.  In addition, if the parents and/or grandparents have been living long, healthy lives, the puppies will also have a very good chance of enjoying a long lifespan. 

Observe how each puppy behaves with the rest of the litter.  Bossy Pit Bull puppies are prone to become dominant adults.  On the other hand, puppies that act submissive are likely to grow up into insecure adults.  Choose the one with a temperament that falls somewhere in between the two extremes.  The puppy that curiously comes to greet you with excitement and follows you around is a probable choice.  If the puppy doesn’t resist to being held and stays relaxed while you lift him up should be the perfect puppy for you.  

All Pit Bull puppies look adorable.  You need to spend time with as many puppies as you can so in order to see the differences in their personalities and therefore, pick the best one for you.
