how to house train your dog

Whether you have a new puppy or older dog, it is important to house train them as quickly as possible. A lot of dog owners will punish their new dog if they make a mess in the house, but this is the wrong approach as it only teaches the dog not to go when the owner is around, not that it shouldn't go to the toilet in the house. If you do punish your dog in this way, it will end up wary of you but still no better house trained.
To house train your dog you need to be expecting accidents, and also anticipating when it is going to need the toilet. Dogs often need to go after they've slept or eaten, so take it to where you want it to go after these events. If you keep doing this regularly, and anticipate when your dog needs the toilet, before long it will start to get the idea. It will take patience and dedication from the owner though.
Another wrong approach some owners use is to first train a puppy to go on newspaper inside. This will only cause confusion, you don't want your dog to think it is acceptable to go to the toilet inside whether it is on newspaper or not. It will make it much easier for you and the dog if you train it to go to the toilet outside from the very beginning.
It can be very frustrating if your puppy or dog keeps going to the toilet inside, but make sure you control your anger and you will achieve greater results with your dog quicker.
