Housebreaking Puppies with Encouragement

With that in mind, it makes sense when you are housebreaking a puppy for you take the puppy outside and stay with it.

Then you can watch and know when the puppy does his or her potty business outside and show them how happy you are about it being done outside by petting and praising with a lot of excitment then they Will Love to do that again for you.

And, if the pup puddles inside, unless you catch it in the act there is little you can do because he will only remember that you got mad, and rubbed his nose in something he didn’t want his nose in.

Is that how do you want your puppy to remember you, his beloved owner ?

Sure the puppy knows you are mad at that spot on the floor inside the house when you rub his nose there. The puppy learns not to pee there again and to beware of that spot. The only choice the puppy is left with is to find some place else to do that business.

You’ll find it all over the house as you continue putting the puppy outside, shutting the door in its face and thens the pup come in and does it again because you never showed them how happy it makes you for them to do that outside.

It only takes a few very happy moments of praise for the puppy and encouragement to bring forth the desire to please you again, making taking the puppy outside and staying with it to praise it a much quicker way to housebreak the young dog.

To achieve complete success in house breaking puppies, you must take them outside as soon as they wake up because they can not hold it very long until they are over 4 or 5 months old. If you do not take the pup out as soon as YOU wake IT up and the pup goes potty all over the house, it is not the puppy’s fault.

 The puppy is sound asleep when you wake up or come home and you wake IT up, so then, what do you have to do when you first wake up?

Same as the puppy, so if you go first to the bathroom and leave the puppy in the house, until they are older, they can not wait on you. You woke them up and they have to go and you shut the bathroom door in the pup’s face instead of detouring your trip through the house to let them outside first.

Plus, Getting the puppy outside at the right time will establish the habit of; as soon as you wake up or arrive home and wake the pup up, it goes outside to relieve itself and then comes in to say hello. Soon your puppy will be waiting at the door to go outside when you wake up or arrive home.

I hope these hints of encouragment based on my thirty years professional puppy experience will help you and your puppy have a much better day.
