Housetraining Tips for Dogs

Being able to successfully housetrain a dog takes preparation, patience, and a few practical items. Here are some basic housetraining trips for dogs.

If you are thinking of acquiring a puppy, either from a breeder or shelter, the first thing you need to do is prepare.

1. Select a designated area in your home or apartment where you will keep the pup.
2. Purchase a kennel or crate as a home base for your pup, as well as a long leash.
3. Establish a daily routine from the get-go. Most young pups may need to go out every two hours. If this is not an ideal situation you can paper-train the pup first, and work up to taking the pup outdoors later. This is especially true if you are not home during the day.
4. Keep the pup confined to a kennel during the night.
5. Use the leash during the day so that the puppy is relegated to one area of the home.
6. Put paper down in close proximity to the kennel in order to teach the pup that this is his bathroom area.
7. When the puppy is let out of the kennel in the morning, he will need a bathroom break. Ensure that the pup uses the paper. Pups will recognize the scent and choose the same area each and every time.
8. If you are home during the day, and you allow your pup the freedom to roam around your home, keep a watchful eye. Pups like to leave their scent in several places in the home.
9. If you find that your pup has gone to the bathroom other than in the designated area, clean the spot to dissipate the odor.
10. If you notice that your pup is about to eliminate somewhere other than in the designated area, this is a good time to pick him up and take him to the paper area. Repeat this process over and over. Eventually, the pup will get the message.
11. Once the pup has become comfortable with the routine, taking him outdoors is the next step.
12. Keep the puppy on a regular feeding schedule appropriate to the age and breed.
13. Routinely take the puppy out for walks; usually morning; after feeding, and before bedtime.
14. After a while, as the puppy will understand the routine. As he grows, you will find that he will signal to you when he has to go to the bathroom either by barking or wagging his tail. This usually occurs at the front or back door of your home.

Finally, it is important to understand your new puppy may need time to acclimate to his new surroundings. So too, a puppy may eliminate when strangers enter his domain. This is a natural reaction.

Although every puppy reacts differently, housetraining a puppy from day one requires lots of praise and attention. Once you get over the initial hurdle, you will be able to give your puppy the freedom to go from room to room without worry.

How I trained My dog in One Evening

So what is the SitStayFetch Book?

That is a question you may well ask.
The SitStayFetch book is a detailed and thorough look at how you can prevent, as well as, deal with common behavior problems often exhibited by dogs. I am the owner of a moderately troublesome dog myself and I have spent a lot of time searching for reliable information on dog training. I have to say that I am very impressed with level and depth of the information contained in SitStayFetch.

I am also very impressed with the fact that the information is actually reliable. So of ten information you get from the internet are inaccurate or at least incomplete. The information contained in SitStayFetch is accurate and reliable. This e-book has been written by a knowledgeable dog trainer so you can relax and know that it is a good e-book. You can be assured that the knowledge and all the tips and advice included are tried and true, and come from Stevens’ real-life experiences as a professional dog trainer.

What Are All The Aspects Covered By this e-book?

• Obviously behavior problems are covered extensively.
• There is also advice on choosing a puppy.
• Some advice on dog breeds.
• The best place to get a puppy.
• Puppy and dog proofing your house.
• Your first visits to the vet.
• Housetraining
• Aggression
• Dominance
• Destructive chewing
• Digging
• Excessive barking
• Separation anxiety
• Intermediate level obedience commands
• Health related problems
• Advanced commands and tricks

Here Are Some Particularly Good Parts:
In addition to the contents listed above, there’s also a pretty impressive section on dog whispering, which – in case you haven’t heard of it already – is a method of dog training based on a philosophy of clear communication and mutual respect. It’s been popularized in recent years by Cesar Millan (“The Dog Whisperer”), and is becoming increasingly well-known as an alternative and humane method for disciplining and training your dog. SitStayFetch has dedicated an entire section to dog whispering. Daniel Stevens explains the background of the technique, how to utilize voice and body language to your best advantage, and how to use the technique to calmly, assertively, and effectively correct and train your dog. Step-by-set instructions are included for the common commands (sit, down, come, stay, quiet, etc).

There are also some freebies:
There’s just something about getting something for nothing. And, although my magpie-like acquisitiveness may have led me into less-than-productive purchases in the past, in this particular case I’m happy to report that SitStayFetch hasn’t let me down: the freebies included with this book are not only numerous, they’re actually useful(wow!)

The book itself costs $37. For this price, you get a complete and detailed manual on training your dog, preventing and handling behavioral problems, and a whole bunch of general-knowledge tips and advice.

You also get a handful of practical freebies: four bonus books, dealing respectively with advanced housetraining how-to’s and troubleshooting (including both the crate- and paper-training methods); a detailed study on resolving canine aggression; how to effectively groom your dog (including information on coat care for specific breeds, dental care, and nail-clipping how-to’s); and finally, how to begin training your dog for security work.

Another particularly useful freebie: a personalized consultation with a member of the Kingdom of Pets team. If you’ve got an issue with your dog that you’d like some individual attention on, you can flick them a quick email and receive a personalized, thorough reply packed with expert advice and practical tips.

SitStayFetch: A Thumbnail Sketch
Altogether, I’m pretty impressed with this package. I’ve owned dogs on and off my whole life, starting from when I was ten – I would have thought that I was better-prepared than most to handle the quirks and caprices of my canine friends.

But since reading this book, I think my pre-SitStayFetch self was (embarrassingly) perhaps a trifle more complacent than knowledgeable - I’ve learned more since reading this manual than I’ve picked up in a near-lifetime’s worth of contact with dogs (do you know how to stop your dog from tugging on the leash, without using a check-chain? Well, I do – but until I got my hands on a copy of this book, I certainly didn’t!)

Several of the training techniques present a refreshingly common-sense, down-to-earth approach to dog training; others require a little more effort (take dog whispering as an example) but yield some pretty dramatic results. I liked the way that more than one training technique is detailed, to allow the reader to pick and choose the techniques that best suit themselves and their individual dogs.

I have no doubts in recommending the SitStayFetch book. Check it out; I’m convinced you’ll love it.

Enjoy your dog and look out for our article on your lifestyle and having a dog.
