A Complete Guide To House Training Any Puppy!

Housetraining is often the first most important training task for many new puppies. The key strategies outlined in this video can help to quickly and effectively teach a dog to go at a chosen location. Always set your dog up to be successful by proactively managing their environment and rewarding successful experiences. With consistency and patience, most dogs can learn this within a few weeks. Remember that a dog is always doing their best given their learning history. House training occurs on a continuum where progress in a training plan is measured over time.

Great video. I did all these things, but still had a few accidents. Then I took an old curtain tie and sewed bells on it and hung it on the doorknob. Each time I took the dog out I rang the bells. Within a day she started ringing the bells to go outside. I was amazed. We had no accidents afterwards.

I just wanted to say thank you for these videos! My parents and I are thinking about getting a psychiatric service dog for me cause of my mental disorders. Watching your vids before I get one is really helpful so I know how to train when the time comes 💛

Actually my son brought a puppy and not that I do not love them .. Now it has become my baby and having a very tough time with poops and pees ...I feel like crying at times by cleaning all what he does. It is just 3 months old.

[wendyjones]

It's so easy for people to say your shouldn't tell your puppy off or smack him but when you are constantly cleaning up shit and piss on your rugs and wooden floors it makes u fedup!

[Ninjasticks]

Great video, I'd really like to know more about how much to be training at any given time. What I mean is in bringing home an 8 week old puppy tomorrow. I'm planning getting him to love his crate and to load up the clicker, and reinforce basic behaviors just like your video. But is this all I should work on at one time? How many different things should I train at once?

Doggy Doors make it so easy!! I train dogs/puppys of all ages. Consistency is everything. Remember Treats can trigger a Poop! Be prepared to run your puppy outside after every meal, snack, water break, excitement. Soon as they start sniffing, doing circles, eat, drink water, wake up, playing, take them outside. Remember if you allow them to use one room for potty breaks, they will use another so its best to teach outside training. You cant expect them to learn this within a week or even a month for some. Be understanding. Be responsible and teach them so theyll learn. Theyd rather use it outside. Crating can make it harder to potty train because they end up potty in the crate. If you crate, make sure to do enough potty breaks so they dont get used to using potty inside the crate. Its a mess when they do. Dogs NEVER want to live in their pee/poop

I just place the crate on top of where my puppy has done his deed inside! Why should I suffer and he feels no remorse?👊 Plus, I keep inside the crate and do the deed inside the crate so he has taste of what he done. In this way, he knows if he does do it inside he gets the crate and the odor from his deed. I think he learned to do his deed now outside instead of inside the home after a week of this type of training!😊

[Rolltidex]

At what age should you start house training? I have a 6 week old puppy and a lot of stuff I am reading on the internet says to start at 12-18 weeks.

If that is true what should I do in the meantime? Just accept it and clean it up? Puppy pad train?

Good video! Going on to training positive! 👏🏻💪🏻
