Dog House Training

Who said you can’t teach an old dog new trick? I have no idea who came up with that quote.

Is that person now famous or something for saying that? Well, that is beside the point. Training an old dog is similar to training a new dog.

Though it may take longer because of its previous habits and ways, it is possible. Nothing is ever impossible. Well, except teaching your dog to fly.

That is impossible. Dogs don’t have wings. I got off subject again, didn’t I? In this article, I will be giving you tips for dog house training your older dog.

These tips may also be used for a puppy as well. House training is a very difficult stage that you go through when getting a puppy.

Since puppies don’t know much, they like to go bathroom wherever they feel like it, which may be on your carpet or bed or both.

An older dog that is untrained will do the same. The best way to stop this behavior is setting a time schedule for taking your dog outside. Start with about every thirty minutes.

Don’t break the time schedule or your dog will continue going pee-pee on your favorite rug. If this does happen, which believe me, it will, soak the stain with a paper towel.

Hold your nose and bring the paper towel outside and place it in an appropriate bathroom place. Have your dog smell it by putting its nose in it.

This will teach them that that spot is where they can go to the bathroom and not in the house. Keep up with this schedule.

Soon, your dog will alert you when it needs to go to the bathroom by standing near the door. Don’t take too long or there will be an accident on the floor next to the door.

This is the most effective way for house training your older dog. I hope that this will not only give you a better smelling house, but a better trained dog. I wish you the best of luck that your dog will truly become man’s best friend.
