A seven-Step Housetraining Guide To your Puppy

September 3, 2010 – 4:13 am

Puppies are lovable, sweet and adorable - and at times, extremely gross! You are aware of what I am talking about - whenever your little darling suddenly presents you with a puddle or pile of urine or feces on your own good carpet, it doesn’t seem quite so darling then, does it?

Don’t feel guilty: It’s hard to love a puppy makes use of your entire house as its bathroom.

But take heart, there’s no need to live with such an individual. It is possible to teach your pup proper bathroom behavior: to perform its business only at the times and only in the places you want it to. This teaching process is housetraining plus your puppy can ace basic housetraining as long as you follow these seven simple steps.

Step One: Buy A Crate

In years past, people didn’t use crates to housetrain their puppies, and the process was a lot tougher than today. Crates tap into a dog’s basic desire to keep its den clean. It’ll do anything to prevent pooping or peeing there. That avoidance gives your pup the incentive to set the bowel and bladder control that’s important to effective housetraining.

In addition to housetraining, your pup will learn to discover the crate as a place to relax and sleep. At the moment, though, all you need to know is this: Housetraining is much easier on you and your puppy if you use a crate. Don’t try to do it without one.

Here’s a tip: Aside from a crate, baby gates can keep your puppy safely confined and help prevent housetraining accidents when you can’t watch your puppy.

Step Two: Choose Potty Spot

Before you can teach your dog to pee or poop in a specific area, you have to select the right area best suited to your property. Generally, the best place for that spot is in the backyard outside of the house. That way, you and your pup won’t need to go very far when it needs to poo. Make sure the spot is easy to fix; dogs don’t like using dirty potties anymore than we do.

use your own property is that you can better protect your puppy from deadly diseases, such as distemper and canine parvovirus. Both diseases are usually transmitted through contact with infected dog’s vomit or bodily waste.

Because other dogs - except those that already live with you - aren’t more likely to eliminate in your own yard, your pup won’t come in contact with those potentially disease-transmitting agents.
