It can be a drag house breaking puppies. If you’re in the middle of the process you know what I mean. Having a new puppy or dog is a pleasure, but not always. One of the first things you need to learn is to potty train your puppy.

Unless you know what you’re doing it can be quite hard house breaking puppy.

And if you don’t get it right it can be a bit of a disaster for puppy and for you and for the entire household.

And you may not even be trying to house train a puppy. For some reason or other you may have just acquired an adult dog, and need to house train him. Now of course that’s quite possible too, but can be a disaster if you don’t know what you’re doing.

It takes more than a page to set out everything you need to know about house breaking puppies and dogs, I keep that for my website. But there’s a few things you should know at the start.

First, always remember that you’re the boss dog. Your dog or puppy expects you to set the rules of the house and he is prepared to follow them if you teach them correctly. Teaching them correctly doesn’t involve punishing him for any infraction of the rules.

But regardless of this you need to be quite consistent in setting the rules and explaining them to him and training him to respect them.

But rather than punish your dog for an infraction of the rules, including potty training, you need to remember that positive reinforcement is far more effective. In the past the preferred method of potty training was to show the dog the right place to go then punish him if he went anywhere else until he got the message. It can take a long time trying to train by punishment and can often fail miserably.

And be prepared to do whatever it takes to successfully train your puppy or dog. Every puppy is different, just like kids are different. Some will get the message quite fast and if you use the correct methods to train him will be successfully trained in no time. Others will take quite a while. Understand that it’s a process that you and your puppy need to go through that, even if you are doing everything right, will take as long as it takes.

Expect it to take a while, be happy if it doesn’t rather than the other way round.

Remember like lots of other things it’s the process that matters. Learn the right process, follow it consistently and it will work, when it works.

It’s a simple process. Learn how to housebreak puppy, follow the procedure consistently and keep at it for as long as you need. Find out more about house breaking puppies on my website.
