Need help with dog training? Consider getting assistance from a dog trainer. Try group classes and/or private lessons, and check here for tips on Housetraining and Crate Training. Unless you plan to keep your dog outdoors—and few pet owners do because it’s not recommended—you’ll need to teach your dog where to go potty. Therefore, housetraining (also called housebreaking or potty training) is one of the first things you need to work on with your dog. Crate training can be a very helpful part of the training process. This includes housetraining as well as many other areas of training:
Crate training dogs and puppies: Here are the basics of training your dog or puppy to accept and even enjoy the crate. Not only will it help with housebreaking, but it will also give your dog a place of his own.
How to housetrain your dog: When it comes down to it, housetraining is not that complicated, but this doesn’t mean it’s easy. Consistency and diligence are key during the housebreaking process.
Submissive/excitement urination in dogs: If your dog is still having accidents in the house, it may be more than a simple housebreaking issue. Your dog might urinate out of excitement or to express submissive behavior.
Leash Training Dogs and Puppies
Every dog needs to learn to walk on a leash. Besides the fact that most areas have leash laws, there will be times when keeping your dog on a leash is for his own safety. Learn how to introduce your dog or puppy to a leash and a no-pull harness, then teach him how to walk properly on it, even loose leash walk teaches your dog not to pull or lunge when on the leash, making the experience more enjoyable for both you and your dog.
