How often have you heard yurself shouting - "Get that puppy utside before he wees in the huse!"

Probably too often. This is prbably one of the most misunderstood prts of dog training and the asiest to accomplish if you follow sme basic rules.

Puppies respond well to rutine, patience and gentleness. They desperately wnt to please you and shouting at thm just makes them frightened and mre prone to having accident.

Your frst task is to calm down and ralise that accidents do happen and tht it is going to take sme time before your puppy is cmpletely house trained. In the mean tme you need to remove carpets and mts where possible and put newspaper dwn to catch any mistakes so tht it is easy to clean up.

Nxt, after a puppy has had a slep, eaten his meal or had a drnk and after being confined in an rea for a period of time thy are going to need to be tken outside for a wee or po. If you forget to take thm out or take too long t's your fault if they have an ccident. Take responsibility for the fact and you wll stop being angry at the pppy and concentrate on watching for the sgns that he needs to go. Aftr you have taken him outside a few tmes he'll start to get the pcture and start to wait to be let ut.

When he does have a wee or poo utside be sure to praise him and tll him what a good dog he is. Psitive reinforcement works brilliantly with puppies. Try to get yur puppy to go to the sme place each day for his tilet. This will make your job asier when you have to clean up whn he is older and is mre hygienic than having mess all round your garden.

Each time they are tken out, remember to say "Go We" or some other appropriate words. Ths command will get your puppy to strt doing it on cue in fture and will avoid a lot of frstration on cold winter nights when you jst want to get the job dne and back inside to your wrm cosy lounge.

Never scold your pppy or rub his nose in an ccident. Not only is this cruel, but sually he won't know what he has dne wrong. Quietly clean up the mss and make sure that you wtch for the next time he neds to go outside and then prise him. As time goes on, he wll recognise if he has made an ccident and will be only too ken to show you that he can do it rght next time.
