Tips on House Training Your Dog

Posted by: Joanne Gallagher • October 28, 2009

House Breaking your DogWe all want the perfect pet. How about a dog who is house broken and doesn’t have accidents in the house? Some adopted and rescued dogs are already house trained and just need to get acclimated to their new home and routine and some dogs, namely puppies, and a few small breeds need constant attention to teach them to let you know when they need to, “go out”.

Getting a puppy is very exciting! Playing and cuddling with your precious new addition is what puppy love is all about. Teaching your puppy the house rules is another story! The house rule is, No Peeing or Pooping in the House!

Sometimes this is easier said than done. A puppy needs to learn that the appropriate location to “go potty” is outside. Many pet owners use Nature’s Miracle Puppy Training Pads to assist in the training process. The training pads are treated with a fresh grass scent to train dogs to “go” outside faster! A dog attractant “Go Here” pheromones scent is detected only by dogs which attracts them to the pads. The training pads absorb up to 100 times its volume in liquid, making it one of the most absorbent pads and also eliminates the toughest pet odors. Placing these highly absorbent pads near the door makes housetraining your puppy quicker and easier.

Once your dog knows to go near the door when they have to go to the bathroom, eliminate the whining, barking or waiting by the door! Poochie-Bells have a 95% success rate and are easy to use to quickly train your pooch to ring the bells when he needs to go outside. The reinforced bells are extra smooth, snapped & looped safely into place so that they won’t be pulled or fall off the heavy duty designer durable grosgrain ribbon. The bells are strategically placed for training small and large breeds. Poochie Bells are recommended by professional trainers.

All good dogs deserve a reward. When your dog gets the hang of letting you know it is time to go out – a dog treat is necessary to reinforce the good behavior. One of Jake’s favorite dog training treats are 100% Pure Dehydrated Pork Liver Treats. Even the most fussy dogs love the bite sized, all natural dog snack. Jakes Teddy Training Dog Treats contain no fillers, additives or preservatives. An all around great reward!

During the housebreaking process, accidents will happen. Dog owners get frustrated when you just took your puppy outside and as soon as you get back inside he pees on the carpet. UGH! One of the best-known enzymatic stain and odor removers on the market is Advanced Formula Natures Miracle Pet Odor Stain Remover. It eliminates urine odors completely with no perfume cover-up odor. It is safe for use around children and pets and on colors because it’s non-toxic, non-flammable, non-caustic and non-acid.

Love and Patience are essential for house breaking your dog. The ideal puppy is sleeping in your lap and looking adorable and in a few weeks will communicate with you when they need to go out to do their business. House breaking is just the beginning to teaching a dog to respect you and your home.
