Who else wants to know the secret to housetraining your puppy? The secret is that there really is no big secret. Here is how it works: You need patience, you must be persistent, and you must be firm but gentle. Housetraining your puppy properly will set the stage for an unbreakable, loving bond with your puppy.
Chances are that the idea of potty training a new puppy brings to mind vivid images of indescribable mess. Many people cringe at the mere mention of the words, "housebreaking" and "potty training." True, some mess is unavoidable, but housetraining your puppy does not have to be a nightmare of pooh but can, in fact, be pleasurable learning experience for both you and your pet.
How long does it take to before you have a potty discipline puppy? Experts say--and my own experience confirms this--that you should see consistent results in two to three weeks. However, professionals also warn that it may take two to three months without the dog eliminating before the job is truly accomplished.
The real secret to housebreaking puppies is routine. That is, the persistent and consistent application of an established, rote procedure. What many people do not realize is that routine makes dogs feel secure. The more your dog understands the daily routine, the more confident it will be because it will be able to predict the routine.
The essential, fundamental elements of house breaking your puppy include: setting a routine that you never vary; taking your puppy outdoors every one or two hours; setting a feeding schedule that you also never vary; taking your pet outside ten to 15 minutes after its meals; showing approval when it goes outside and especially on command; and never showing disapproval and/or anger when accidents happen inside. And one last side tip--be sure to clean as well as possible all areas inside where the puppy makes a mess. If you don't clean, then the puppy may continue using those spots to eliminate.
I think you will find that these steps are essential not only for housetraining but for other basic puppy training. Follow the tips outlined in this article and you will soon find that you have a happily housebroken pet, and the stage set for successful, future dog training.
