subject: House-Training Your Puppy with dog training ebooks [print this page] Training your puppy is not just about punishment, it's about reward as well. Of course you'll need to let him know when he's doing his business in the wrong place, but you should praise him when he gets it right, too.
You can start training your puppy inside the house, by using papers or pads. Then move on to outside training by progressively moving the papers outside. This method gets your puppy used to using the same spot for his toilet.
If you prefer not to use papers, pads and so on then you'll have to keep a close watch on your pet. Whenever he looks like it's toilet time, take him outside to do it. This method is only suitable for owners who are able to keep a constant watch over their puppy, ensuring that he doesn't get a chance to mess indoors.
Choose some simple spoken phrases that your dog can quickly learn. Use them consistently. As a minimum, you should have a distinct command meaning "let's go outside" and another one meaning "do your stuff." Consult your dog training eBook to learn more about obedience training.
Remember to praise your little friend every time he gets it right!
Of course there are going to be accidents. When they happen, only chastise your pet if you were already on the scene. He needs to associate the act of messing indoors with the reprimand. Try to be calm and avoid over-reacting. It may be frustrating but you must avoid instilling fear into your puppy.
