When the thought or the discussion of getting a new puppy or dog arises another thought comes to mind and that is how to house train it.  It is not that difficult at all to house train a dog but it takes much time and patience.

It is best to house train your dog at a young age this makes it easier.  You can teach old dogs new tricks but they do not catch on so quickly however.  You need to cater to your dog.  You need to teach your dog how to go outside to use the bathroom the very first thing.  Do not try to teach your dog anything else but this, we it gets where to use it then you can move on.

You need to keep in mind that you will not see results overnight.  When you house train your dog it can take several days and in some cases several weeks.  Many dogs are very stubborn and they try to be the one in control you need to prevent your dog form thinking this way and you need to be the master.

Everyone that is around the dog everyday needs to be aware of what you are expecting of the dog.  If you are trying to teach your dog something and somebody else allows the dog to do something different then it can result in a confused dog.

You will not see the results of any new lesson right away.  You must be consistent and persistent.  All of your efforts will eventually pay off and you will have a dog that knows where to use the bathroom and know who the master is.
