House training is a very important event in a dog's life. It builds a tight bond and healthy relationship between both master and the dog. Expert dog trainers recommend that house training should start during a dog's puppy years. Your dog's bad behavior will be easier to correct as he gets older, because obedience training occurred during the time he was most receptive to following instructions. Therefore, the sooner you learn how to house train a dog, the more successful you'll be training him.

Here are some basic guidelines on how you should commence to house train a dog.

Let Him Have His Own Space

The untrained puppy or dog should not be allowed to move about aimlessly around the house, without any supervision. You may not know it yet, but your pet may already be chewing on unsafe things and worse, may get themselves injured or electricuted. If you are at home, make certain to keep him in a place where you can monitor what he's doing. If there ever comes a time that he'll be left by himself, make sure to place him in a den or crate. Provide him a bed of his own that may include a blanket or pillow , some toys, and a bowl for both water and food. Let him have time to run around freely, so he can get enough exercise.

Introduce Him to New Areas

After you have taught him how to behave in his own space, it is now time to introduce him to other areas of the house. Make sure to spend quality time with him in each new area. If you want to show him a new spot where he will eat, do it under your constant direction. Introduce him to each section of the house, and make known what he is allowed and not allowed to do in them. Do this by restraining him with a dog leash, so as to limit his movement. Unleash him when you think he's gotten use to the new areas. But, remember to monitor him closely or else he might get into stuff and cause damage.

Potty Train Him

Direct him to the place where he can releave himself. Be cautious not to mislead him. Never allow him to romp in that area or he may get the idea that he can use the same place for all his activities.

Let Him Understand The "No Chew" Command

By nature, dogs enjoy chewing on things, since it aids in the growth of their teeth and gums. It is also kind of a healthy activity for their jaws. Part of training your dog is providing him with things that he may chew on, and let him know that not all things are used for strengthening his teeth and gums. Be serious as you give him the "No chew" command. Praise him whenever he does obey and give him a treat.

Set Off Limit Areas

It is very important that you keep your dog out of any area that has a sofa and chairs or electrical wiring lying on the floor. Give him the "Out" command and when he does obey, tenderly pat him on the head showing your pleased.

Again keep in mind, the earlier you start, the better behaved your dog will be when he is outside the home. Try to devote a hour or two towards house training your dog and you'll both be better off for it.
