House Training

House training your new puppy can be very difficult due to their poor bowel control, but if you follow some simple rules it will make it a lot easier.

You'll have to give away some of your time to make this process easier, you have to catch your dog in the act to be able to stop their bad behavior and train your dog to do otherwise. If you don't catch your dog in the act then don't punish them, they will get confused and not know what they've done wrong.

A good method for getting your dog housetrained is to always allow them to eliminate on the same surface every time, this way they will get used to the place they're allowed to go and not allowed to go. Try using paper or even scented paper to encourage your puppy to go in the correct place, placing them directly there and with no eye contact or attention if they go elsewhere.

If you have to go out and leave your dog alone, place them in a room with the same surface or paper laid down in every possible place, doing this will mean they have no other place to go apart from where you want it and your puppy will get used to the correct surface.

If you want your dog to eliminate outside then do the same but place them outside instead of in the selected area, again praising them when they go in the right place and placing them back there when they don't.

This method takes varied amounts of time to work depending on the breed and surroundings of your dig so be patient and things will begin to change.
