House Training Your New Puppy
Monday, September 8th, 2008When it’s time to house break your puppy, be sure that both you and the puppy is ready. Most importantly you! As you will need love, patience, love, patience. As you can see you will need a lot of love & patience.
House training for dogs is a challenging task faced by most dog lovers. To train a dog in the correct way is a time-consuming process, which requires love and a commitment from the owner. The house training process needs a huge amount of patience and regular attention during the initial period.
House training for dogs helps to keep owners happy with their dogs behavior. It is always best to start house training dogs at a younger age, around 8 to 12 weeks old. Training makes the pets understand good manners and common house rules.
Puppies go potty about every 3 hours. Therefore, regular potty timing is essential to keep the dog neat and tidy, by taking the puppy to the designated area frequently and less than every 3 hours.
Watch the puppy carefully for signs, such as sniffing and circling around an area. If you catch the puppy in the act, grab him/her by the scruff and say ‘no’ sternly. Take the puppy to the designated spot and let the puppy finish the job. Once the puppy is done in the right place, pat the puppy on the head and say “good ‘puppy’” (replace ‘puppy’ with their name).
When you show your puppy love and affection they are more likely to respond correctly than if you try to punish them.
A consistent and systematic schedule is necessary for the puppy to follow. Dogs give high response to a systematic schedule in the training process. The fundamental steps induced in house training dogs are regular drinking, feeding and potty schedule.
House training for dogs will make your puppy an ideal member of the house. There are some simple things to remember while training a pet dog.
Take the puppy to the bathroom area the moment it reaches the home.
Try to make the dog understand the purpose of the bathroom with appropriate voice message. Use the same word(s) for going potty repeatedly and forever. Dogs do not have logical thinking skills to perform every action simultaneously. Dogs cannot speak or understand human language. Therefore, owners need to repeat important phrases for any desired action.
Potty training for a house dog is a difficult task, but stable determination will bring out a positive result. Repeated wordings, which owners use a certain times, help dogs to understand the indications.
Punishment in house training for dogs may destroy the entire training process. A reward based method will be more rewarding for both the owner and the puppy as well as more effective. Proper timely encouragement works a lot in dog training.
Non-neutered male dogs have a habit of marking their territory by lifting their legs up. Neutering helps to ease the process.
To sum up, effective house training for dogs makes a perfect household pet and your best friend.
Remember that positive re-enforcement goes a long way to bond the 2 of your together.
