House TrainingYour Dog

One of the most important phases in a dog's life is House training. Training your dog not to mess in the house can create a tight bond between you and your new pet. The best time to house train your new dog is when they are very young. Therefore, the sooner that you start with dog obedience house training, the better.

Here are the guidelines on how you should go about dog obedience house training.

Let him have his own space.

The untrained puppies or dogs should not be allowed wandering around the house without any supervision. You may not know it but your pet might already be chewing on things and worse, may get themselves injured or electrocuted. It is best to keep him in a place where he can be seen easily if you are at home. There are cages or pens that you can use to keep your dog out of trouble if he is left alone. Be sure to leave him some water and some toys to keep him occupied when you are not there. Be sure to let him have his own playtime too so he can have enough exercise.

Introduce him to new areas.

After you have taught him how to behave in his own place, it is now time to introduce him to the other areas of your home. Be sure to spend time with him in that area. If you want to show him the new place where he can eat, do it under your supervision. Introduce the places and what he is allowed and disallowed to do in these areas. One way of controlling his reaction to these new unfamiliar rooms is to walk him using a lead. Once you think he has become familiar with each room you can let them wonder on their own. But, remember to keep watch or else he might get into trouble and cause further damages.

Potty train him.

Show him the area where he can do his thing. Make sure not to confuse him. Keep his toilet area separate from his normal play area so as not to confuse him.

Let him understand the "No Chew" command.

By nature, dogs like to chew on things since it aids in the strengthening of their teeth and gums. It is also kind of a healthy exercise for their jaws. The best way to start your dog from chewing the furniture is to provide him with a toy to chew on, this is a good way to house train your dog. Be stern as you give him the "no chew" command. Praise him when he has done the right thing and give him a reward.

Set off limits areas.

One of the most dangerous areas for your pet are where they are electrical appliances, you could easily chew through an electric cable and electrocute himself. Whenever your dog follows your "off" command give him a pat and praise him.

By and large, dog obedience house training will benefit you in the future. So, start early!
