When 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.

Each breed of dog needs a different type of training.  Your silky is more than likely very bright and very determined.  He wants things his way and not yours. You may want to lay the law down while you dog is still a puppy so that he/she gets to learn early who the boss is and what rules they must follow.
Before you can star to train your terrier you must understand whether your dog has a dominate or submissive personality.  The information below will help you decide.

A submissive dog normally:

•    avoids eye contact.
•    rolls on its back.
•    crouch down, ears back and tail lowered.
•    is comfortable on its back in your arms.

On the other hand, a dominant dog:

•    maintains eye contact.
•    is unwilling to move from his place on the couch.
•    dislikes grooming and petting.
•    is possessive of dishes and toys.

Training your silky terriers requires kindness and consistency. Generally Silkys respond actively to praises and to rewards. In addition, they become harsh and unresponsive towards punishments and animosity, respectively.  If you have a submissive dog you must be extra gentle and have patience since you don’t want to upset your dog. On the other hand if your dog is dominate you must stand your ground and be stern, yet gentle.

Here are the recommended ways of training silky terriers:

1.    Reiteration or Repetition

Reiteration is the name of the dog training game. In here, dogs are asked to do a task over and over again to achieve mastery. Dog tricks are best learned when reiterated and reinforced through rewards.

2.     Persistence

Patience is a virtue that requires you to tolerate hardships. Persistence is trying to be patient for a longer time until a goal is achieved.

3.     Praise and Scold

Simply put, if a dog does the right thing, it should be said aloud. Otherwise, the dog should hear, “No, that’s not it!” when the trick is not complete or appropriate for the command given. These words reinforce correct responses and diminish the unwanted ones.

4.     Rewarding

Bits of cheese would really be good treats for dogs who responded correctly to a given command. Other food can be bought at pet sores. However, if you are able to get the respect of your pet, commands will be executed even if there are no longer involved treats. Likewise, these things reinforce warranted responses.

If your lifestyle permits being in charge of training your own pet, you can do the training as long as you have gathered enough patience and commitment by:

1. spending time grooming your dog.
2. having regular training times on the leash.
3. stroking its belly and toes and rolling it on its back
4. hand feeding some food to ensure that the pet is taking treats gently and slowly.

In asserting dominance, always practice consistency and firmness. Afterwards, you can be a master and a dear friend to your own pet.

Training takes a lot of time, patience and most of all love.  When you dog knows that you love them, they will often want to please you by obeying.

If you find that you don’t have the patience or the time then it’s best to get the dog professionally trained or go to training classes with your dog. Many classes are held at the larger pet stores or your vet can recommend one.

A trained dog is a joy!
