House Training a Dog
There are several ways to go about training a dog or a puppy in order to avoid “accidents”. House training a dog is a process which should be started as soon as they are introduced into your home.
One of the most popular ways to go about housebreaking man’s best friend is the use of crates. Crates or enclosed areas prevent urination and defecation throughout the house and also helps in house training a dog. This is because dogs, like other animals, would rather not urinate in their living area. It is important for the area to be large enough for the dog to be able to move around and turn. However, it is should not be too large because this would allow the dog to be able to use the bathroom on one side and comfortably settle down on the other.
When house training a dog, the dog should be taken out of its enclosure multiple times a day or the dog will eventually become forced to use the bathroom in its crate. The average dog requires to be let out approximately six times a day and should be taken out after each meal as dogs typically use the bathroom shortly after they eat.
This is especially the case in puppies as dogs are not able to control their bladder until they are about 3 months old. In general, the dog should be allowed out of their enclosure every three hours to relieve themselves. They should be left outside to do their business for about twenty minutes. If they do not go to the bathroom in this time, they should be placed back into their enclosure and the process should be repeated later.

There are some hints which indicate whether a dog is about to use the bathroom. The most obvious clue is that the dog will begin turning in circles. Timing is very important in house training a dog. When the dog begins to use the bathroom in the wrong place, it is important that you say “No” in a loud voice at that moment instead of waiting until the mess has been made. This way, the dog recognizes that the act itself is what is wrong and not simply the mess that is left over.
Another important aspect of house training a dog is positive reinforcement. When the dog relieves himself in the appropriate spot, make sure to praise the dog with positive words or treats.
