To start your dog house training, the first thing you'll
need to do is buy your best pet friend a nice dog training
collar, lead and dog crate. You should choose one made of
nylon or soft leather. When your puppy grows older, you can
buy him a heavier collar, and if he's a large breed, it should
be made of heavy leather, with a strong buckle and clip. Dog
house training can be simple. We'll need to be patient and
prepared to spend enough time to work with your new friend
right from the start. We can avoid your doggie being among the
60% that land up in humane societies (dog pound) because of
behavioral problems. It's like being on a dog rescue mission.
Get yourself a crate large enough for your puppy to stretch
and lie down in (for those naps). But not one that's too big
either. You don't want your doggie to be able to potty in one
corner and sleep in the other. Your little pet should be in
the crate anytime you're not available for watching your
doggie. Our attempt is to get your friend to understand that
they'll have to wait until we come to their rescue teaching
them to "hold" the potty which is obedience
training.
Your little sweetie can be left in the crate for 6-8 hours
at a time. You mostly do it at night time when you go to bed,
but can also do it during the day if you have to be away.
When you're at home, leave the puppy out of the crate, but
set a timer (you know, one of those we use in the kitchen for
timing) for every 60-90 minutes (no cheating; 90 minutes is
the maximum). Each time the timer rings, take the pup out for
a walk for 10 minutes, giving them the chance to eliminate,
and reward them when they are successful. Positive
reinforcement and love is the way to go. Don't be surprised if
you walk them for 10 minutes, nothing happens, and when you
come back in the house they have an accident on the kitchen
floor. BE PATIENT.
These are only some guidelines, but take your time and do
not become frustrated. In a month or so, you will look back
and laugh.
Remember that your puppy will grow very fast, so his first
dog collar should be adjustable. Often the puppy's breeder
will give you a collar and lead with your puppy when you pick
him up. Dog care and training really can be fun. You and your
best pet friend so to speak grow up together.
If your puppy is not used to a collar yet, he should start
his dog training by wearing the collar in the house for a few
days. At first he will try to get rid of the collar, but in an
hour or so he will get used to it, and then you can remove it.
Remember dog house training benefits everyone. Wait till you
see that puppy smile when they know there're pleasing you.
