How To House Train A Dog

How can I house train my dog? I don't know his age or anything of the sort...?

He is a puppy though. Possibly a few months old. I've been trying the puppy pad method since I live in an apartment and I'm not supposed to have pets. I can't take him outside except at night. But he is ruining the carpet and still not using the pad. Everyone says we should've had him trained by now since we've had him a month. What can I do? Is a crate the only way? And if so, I'm home 99% of the time with him so when should I put him in there? And how can I persuade him to use the pad? Please help!

If you are training him to use pads you don't have to be quite so regimented about a schedule, but you must watch him religiously. If you can't keep an eye on him, place him in the crate. Take him to the pad (on leash, if necessary) when you see signs that he needs to eliminate (circling, sniffing the floor intensely, suddenly wandering away, sniffing his rear, etc.). Praise him and give him a treat when he uses the pad. If you see him starting to eliminate, clap your hands or make a noise to interupt him, then take him to the pad. If you find an accident but didn't see him doing it, don't scold him. He won't know why you are upset.

Use an enzymatic cleaner to clean the carpet. This should help to prevent him from returning to areas because his scent is there.

Most dogs are not housetrained until they are at least 7 months old - and that is pushing it. Your pup is not behind!

House Training Your Dog: Quick Before You Can't Take It Anymore

Just about had it with trying to house train your dog? Are you tired of coming home to find pee all over the carpet, pillows helter-skelter and garbage littered (and chewed) all over the floor?

Well, I know I was. The first few weeks after I got my new puppy, I was just about ready to call the pound. (Well, not really, I loved my dog; but you get the picture). I hardly got any sleep at night because my yelping charge was terrified of spending the night alone and I had to keep him company until he fell asleep. He would then proceed to make a mess at 2 in the morning and I would have to get up to clean it. I would come home late in the afternoon to find the garbage can turned over, pee all over the floor and furniture ridden with teeth marks. I knew I had to successfully train him soon – or I would go crazy.

Does my story sound familiar to you? How do you house train your dog to behave when he spends his time acting like a – dog?

You know you have to take action sooner rather than later.  So what are your options?  There are alternatives out there.  If you get a trainer, it will be very expensive.  There are dog schools, which can also be pricey, and with your busy schedule, this proposition might be a little more than you can handle right now.

The good news is that there is a great method that you can use to house train your dog.  Dogs are naturally clean.  They do not like to soil the place where they sleep, so they will cooperate with you.  And all dogs can be trained, even older dogs.
