Bringing a new puppy into your household is often an exciting event for both kids and their

parents. A puppy is cute and cuddly; they are little balls of energy. There is a lot of work

involved in raising a happy, healthy and well trained dog. Before you bring that wriggling,

ball of fluff home, you should take some things into consideration.


One of the toughest jobs that a family faces when a new puppy comes home is getting the dog

housebroken. This means that the dog will eliminate outdoors and not use your home and

furnishings as a toilet. Lots of people think that getting doggy toilet trained is a tough

task, but it doesn't need to be. If you arm yourself with plenty of information for the best

ways to get your dog house trained, you are on the right path to having a dog that goes to the

bathroom where you want him to go.

When to House Train 



A dog can be toilet trained at any age, but the best age to begin is between eight and twelve

weeks old. If you set up a housebreaking routine as soon as you bring your puppy home, before

long he will get the right idea of where to do his business. A crate is a great tool for toilet

training a puppy. It keeps him confined when there is no supervision and most dogs learn

quickly that if they make in their crate they will have to sit in it. Most dogs are fairly

hygienic and won't enjoy having to sit in dog doody or urine.


The Advantages of Using a Crate

Be sure there is enough room in the crate for your pup to turn around, but don't leave so much

room that he will be able to eliminate and lie down far away from it. Many dog owners view a

crate as a jail cell or to use as punishment, but your dog will love having his own space where

he can escape from the hustle and bustle of the household for some quiet time. Make your dogs

crate a happy place and don't use it for punishment. You can feed your dog in the crate, or

while he is in there, offer him some treats. Place a favorite chewy or toy in there with him,

add blankets and he will have a cozy den to escape to whenever he feels the need. Utilizing a

crate for your dog can keep him out of trouble and not only in housebreaking.

Keep Your Eyes Peeled    


Keeping a close eye on your puppy is a key factor in getting him properly housetrained.

Whenever you see that he is sniffing, circling or beginning to squat, immediately take him

outside to the place where you want him to go and see if he eliminates. If he does, praise him

lavishly. A good idea is to have a cue, such as “hurry up� so that your puppy knows what

you want him to do. When he is going to the bathroom repeat the cue and then give your dog lots

of praise for a job well done. It is better to take the dog out and nothing happens then take a

chance of an accident happening.

Have a Schedule

Feeding, watering and walking your dog on a regular schedule will make housebreaking that much

easier. Puppies are like children and they thrive on a routine. Try and take the dog out around

the same time everyday so they will be able to adjust their bodily functions. The first thing

you should do in the morning is take the puppy from the crate and don’t let his feet touch

the ground. Bring him to the place where you want him to go, give the cue, and praise upon a

successful completion. Take your puppy out at least every two hours, after eating or drinking

and especially after play. Before you know it, your puppy will be letting you know it is time

to go out and do his business.

Don't Let the Puppy Roam          



Letting your puppy roam around the house is a sure fire way to have accidents. If you have

decided you don't want to use a crate, and even if you do use one, confining the dog to certain

areas of the house can make housetraining easier for everyone. It is difficult to keep track of

a puppy when he has the run of the house, but if you gate him in the kitchen, he will still be

able to be part of the action and can be better supervised in case of an accident.

Don't  Get Discouraged
There will be times when you first begin housetraining that you feel your pup is just not

getting it. He may have accidents in the house as well on occasion. There is no need to be

discouraged. If you stick to your routine, keep a good eye on the dog and make frequent outings

to his outdoor bathroom, in no time your puppy will be housebroken. Another good idea is to use

the same door all the time when you are taking him out so that when he has to go, he will

scratch on the door to be let out. Once this happens, you can say hurray and know that your

puppy truly is beginning to understand that going to the bathroom in the house is a no-no.
