Of all the emails for help with dog training I receive, nine out of ten involve house training. It’s so sad that a great many people are inherently lazy with their methods, yet they always blame their dog or puppy when they fail, never themselves.

A few weeks ago I received an email from a lady who had two dogs, one aged five, the other three. She lives in a trailer and she complained that it reeks of dog urine. Both dogs are males and they even use her sofa as a lamp post! She stated that she was unable to invite guests to her home anymore and the dogs will have to go.

Although extreme, hers isn’t an isolated situation. No-one says toilet training a dog is easy, but you need to start exactly as you mean to go on and immediately focus upon the prevention of accidents rather than waiting for accidents to happen and punishing the dog. You need to create a situation where you make it easy for the puppy (or dog) to do the right thing from day one.

This method is faster and way more effective than negatively punishing the dog when it makes a mistake. BUT it places the emphasis upon you more so than the dog. You need to be kind, patient and always proactive for it to work.

A few years ago I wrote a report, explaining my house training method in great detail. To date it has been downloaded more than 30,000 times and it is included in handouts by veterinarians, breeders, rescue organizations, etc. If you would like a copy of that report, just provide me with your name and email address below and it will be sent to you instantly.
