A puppy in the house

There are a few different ways that you can house train your puppy. One way, and usually the most popular, is crate training. This involves getting a cage or crate for the dog, and putting him or her in the crate at night to sleep in. A good rule of thumb is that dogs will not go to the bathroom where they sleep, so this will encourage the puppy to hold it in until he or she is let outside. Another method of house training is paper training. This is where you confine the dog to one room, usually a room with tile, not carpet, and place newspaper all over the floor. Gradually, you pick up the newspaper until there is just one square of it on the ground and you want to make the puppy go on that square and not the tile. Eace time you pick up paper, and the puppy goes on the smaller amount of paper, give the puppy a lot of praise so they will know they did the right thing. Eventually, the puppy will learn to hold it in until they are let outside. Finally, the most important thing you can know about house training, is that when you take the dog outside, and it goes to the bathroom, GIVE IT A LOT OF PRAISE!!!! This way, the puppy will associate going to the bathroom outside with something positive and will know that going outside is a good thing.
