It is best to house train your dog at a young age this makes it easier. You can teach old dogs new tricks but they do not catch on so quickly however. When house training you need to cater to your dog. The very first thing that you need to teach your dog is how to go outside to use the bathroom. Do not try to teach your dog anything else but this, we it gets where to use it then you can move on.

You need to keep in mind that you will not see results overnight. It may take several days and in many case many weeks to house train your dog. There are many dogs that are stubborn and try to be in control but you need to break your dog of this and be the master.

Everyone that is around the dog everyday needs to be aware of what you are expecting of the dog. If you are trying to teach your dog something and somebody else allows the dog to do something different then it can result in a confused dog.

Remember that when you are starting to house train your dog that you will not see results right away. You must be consistent and persistent. All of your efforts will eventually pay off and you will have a dog that knows where to use the bathroom and know who the master is. This is what we all want to achieve in the long run isnt it – a well trained (house trained) dog we would be proud to show off to anyone – and a carpet that no longer smells?
