There are two reasons why an adult dog
is having accidents in the house. Either he was never reliably
housebroken or he's ill and in that case the first thing you should do
is to consult your vet.
For those of you who have a puppy
remember that at 8 weeks old, a puppy doesn't have enough control over
his sphincters to hold it for a very long time. That's why you
can’t expect your puppy to be fully and reliably housetrained
before he's six months old.
In the meantime however there is
plenty of training to do to help him get better and better. Also,
puppies are burning off more energy than older dogs and consequently
need to eliminate more often. Just being aware of this will improve
your housebreaking progress.
I’ve seen some dogs being
housetrained in less than a week with my unique 7-step technique, yours
could be one of them!
Being able to predict when your dog
will need to eliminate is one of the keys to housebreaking a dog. It
can make the difference between having a housetrained dog within days
instead of months.
For example, a dog usually pees within
fifteen minutes of drinking water. Consequently, you can bring your dog
where you want him to eliminate at the RIGHT time. You end up in a
win-win situation: your dog learns when and where he is supposed to
eliminate and you don’t have to clean up a mess!
Housebreaking a dog
doesn't have to be complicated. You simply have to be consistent.
Most dogs follow a ritual just before
eliminating. If you are able to recognize this ritual, your timing will
be perfect. In other words, you'll have time to bring your dog to the
right place before he decides to pee on the carpet!
For example, if your dog starts
sniffing the floor and walking in circles, hurry… its time
for him to go.
