    Housebreaking and Poop Issues

    Although a lot of people believe that puppies below 16 weeks old should not subjected to any form of training. However, a number of animal experts openly vouch on training puppies as soon as possible, since what you teach your puppy during those crucial formative months serves as a foundation of the behavior as they grow up. 90% of Americans with pet dogs prefer to have their dogs inside the house. So if you are one of these individuals, it would be best to teach your dog to adapt to living indoors to prevent encountering major problems.


    The housebreaking process may be a little difficult and will probably take a while, especially if you have no prior experience with dogs. However, with a steady stream of patience you and your dog will be able to pull it off in no time. Understandably, you will encounter some minor slip-ups and mess along the way, the very important thing to remember when housebreaking your pet: never punish them if they accidentally pee or drop their poop in the house. It can be frustrating at times, and would probably need the patience of a saint but you need to understand it requires time - punishing your pet will only make him more nervous.


    Another important rule to live by for dog owners is to never fail to reward your pet if he has done things correctly. By all means show your appreciation and convey it by giving out treats or even a simple scratch on the ear would do. Here are some housebreaking techniques that you can use to make the experience easier for you and your pet:



    You can start by using newspapers or the special pretreated papers to train use puppy to use it when they want to heed the call of nature. There are available scented pads that contain chemicals that would attract puppies to use them. Whenever you notice them doing their “pre-potty rituals” such as walking around and sniffing the floors, you can gently pick them up without talking to them and carry them towards the paper or pad. Praise them if they were able to do it without any help.



    When you notice your puppy adapting to the use of papers of scented pads without any assistance, you can slowly move the papers near the door or simply place it outside the house. This type of transition will help your pet on concentrating its toilet habits from the spot inside the house to doing its business outdoors.



    After some time, you can fully eliminate the use of papers and observe your puppy poop outside without any help. This may take some time before your puppy may get used to this set up, but with guidance and patience he will be able to adapt to it.
