Do you ever have a problem raising a pet with uncontrollable bad habits. Rest assured, you do not need to be a professional dog trainer just to raise a pet to be obedient. The most challenging obstacles that new pet owners face is undoubtedly trying to house train their pet.

Dogs are, by impulse, really clean pets. They would rather not even soil any areas where they commonly get in bed or eat food. Dogs are likewise creatures of routine --- they love to recognize where they are likely to urinate and defecate. When the dog is coached to go potty on gravel or cement, they are going to have a tendency to find either of those surfaces when they need to take action. If they're taught to get rid of on grass or dirt, then that is exactly the type of surface they are going to pick. Utilize these programs to your great advantage.

The first step to developing a successful dog house training regime is to select a location for your dog's bathroom. Recommendations for this location are in the kitchen or some other type of area which can be easily cleaned. House training a pet works best on small dogs or very young puppies.

The second step is to follow a very stringent feeding schedule for your pet. Like we mentioned in the previous paragraph, dogs are creatures of routine and easily fall into a habit of eating at certain times of the day. It is only natural that dogs will also follow a similar routine for the elimination of waste products from their body. Study and take some brief notes over the course of a week or when this time occurs. Once you understand when your dogs need relief, you can more easily designate a schedule a toilet area for them.

If you are under a time crunch and need to quickly achieve results, follow a pattern of positive affirmation and reward your dog when they successful pee/poo in the designated location. It is never a good idea to punish your dog for making an error. Fear tends to confuse the animals and can slow the training even further.
