House Training Your Dog Like A Pro

One of the most important steps in properly training your pet is house training your dog. When dogs are not properly house trained many times the owners give them up to shelters, so this step can actually save the pets life.

It is not as difficult to house train a dog as your might think, but in order for it to stick you must do it properly, plan ahead and work it slow. Some puppies will be easier to house train than others, so you can see just how important the time you spend training the dog is. Speeding up the process will not be productive and cause you a lot of headaches.

The best time to train a puppy is about six months old, unless you have the ability to watch your puppy 24 hours a day. It is important to know this ahead of time so you can be prepared. In the case of most puppies before 6 months of age they have yet to fully develop a blatter.

If you are going to leave you need to be sure to confine the dog to a small room or crate covered in paper. The puppy most likely will confine to one part of the room, and chew through the papers, and might even tear them out, all of this is perfectly normal for a dog to do, and the great part is clean up is as easy as grabbing all the papers and throwing them in the trash.

How to Paper Train Your Dog
As the puppy spend more and more time in its room it will start to pick a specific place that it like to go to the bathroom. Once the puppy has picked its spot you should start to use less and less paper in the room and try to concentrate it only where the puppy has pick as its place to use the bathroom.
