Housetraining is habitually the first thing that a new puppy owner thinks about. Few puppies have received any training on housetraining before they go to their new homes. There are two easy methods that you can use to housetrain your puppy and you can use either one of them or you can use both of them at the same time.
The first way you can get started training your puppy is by using observation and noticing his behavior. Puppies will cower to urinate or defecate. As soon as you see you puppy starting to change his stance and starting to squat you will need to scoop him up and take him out to his selected spot. If you happen to overlook the signs and he has an misfortune you should not discipline him as he still does not know just what is expected of him and scolding will just startle him.
If you happen to miss the signs completely and you come across an mishap afterward, do not admonish him. Dogs can only correlate to what is happening now and he will not know why he is in trouble if you admonish him after the fact. This will just serve to bewilder your puppy and that will cause you more troubles in the future.
The newspaper method is the second way of housetraining your puppy. Cover the whole floor where your puppy runs around. He will do his business on the newspaper and he will quickly learn that the newspaper is tolerable. You must then gradually eradicate more and more newspaper until there is only a small piece left. Then you will be able to take the newspaper outside to the selected spot. He will then start going there where the newspaper is.
Either or both of these methods can be very efficient. You can use both methods at the same time by using awareness during the day and the newspaper at night or if you are diverted by other things at certain times of the day you can use the paper then while using watchfulness at other times.
At times an older puppy will go through a period where he seems to have forgotten what he has learned about housetraining. This can be exceedingly annoying but try not to chastise him for it. It is a normal behavior.
Just use predictable dog conduct to get him back on track. A dog will seldom soil his own place. So use a crate and make it snug so he thinks of it as his own. Let him sleep in the crate and right away as you let him out, take him to his selected spot. He will need to relieve himself right away and he will understand to only do it in that spot.
Housetraining a puppy does not nearly need to be as overwhelming as you may have come to expect. When you use either of these two methods, combined with some persistence, your new puppy will be housetrained before you know it.
