Method for Proper
house training and
house breaking of your dog.
House
training your dog properly is one of the most important aspects of
dog ownership. More dogs are surrendered to animal shelters for
elimination problems than for any other reason, so proper house
training can literally be a lifesaver.
The
most popular ways to house break dogs, and the ones that are the
most effective, are those that use the dog’s own instincts to
provide this important lesson.
Dogs
are instinctively very clean animals, and they try very hard to
avoid soiling the areas where they sleep and where they eat.
The modern methods of house training dogs, including crate
training, den training and other variations, take advantage of
this aspect of dog behavior to create a well behaved, house
trained dog in less time than many other methods.
Another
aspect of the dog’s nature that can be used to your advantage is
the fact that the dog pays close attention to the kind of surface
on which it makes its toilet.
That means that a dog that has become accustomed to using
grass or dirt as a toilet will be reluctant to eliminate on other
surfaces, such as gravel, asphalt or carpet for that matter.
This is a great aspect of canine behavior that many owners
are unaware of.
