Housebreaking Your Dog



Have you just adopted a puppy? One of the things on your agenda is going to be housebreaking. There are different ways to do this, but really the main thing is to walk your puppy often and reward him for going outside. At first, it may take a while before your pet does his business outdoors. When he does, immediately reward him with treats and praise. You may find it easiest to bring him to the same spot, as that can help reinforce the behavior.


How often do puppies need to go? At first, take your canine pal out every hour or so. You can slow down once he starts getting the hang of it. Just don’t wait too long. Puppies need to be walked about once every four hours. By the time your pet is four to six months, he should be able to get through the night.
