Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: Puppy Home Training 101

Having a puppy in the household can bring you
lots of excitement and joy. But first, your puppy
has to get used to his new surroundings. To help
him adjust, you can do puppy home training. It is
a way of preparing your puppy to settle in and
live in the household. If you're wondering where
to start, you can consult some books and pet care
magazines, or search the internet for some useful
information. The useful tips described below
might also help you out.

If you're a busy person or if you're out most of
the time during the day, you can train your puppy
using the paper method. Here, paper is used to
mark the locations where the puppy can stay and
do their peeing and releasing of bowels.
Initially, the room where your puppy stays should
be packed with paper. As time goes by, the paper
is decreased, limiting the area where the puppy
can release its bowels and urine.

This method requires a lot of time and patience,
and you need to be consistent and firm with your
puppy. But never forget to give him a reward
whenever he does a good job.

Another method of home training is to watch your
puppy's cycle of releasing urine or bowels. For
normal puppies, you can expect them to release
once every forty five minutes. So if it's time
for him to release, immediately bring your puppy
to his potty tray. Doing this habitually will
teach the puppy the correct place to release his
poop.

Always remember that it is important to spend
some time with your puppy. The learning process
will speed up if you give your puppy time and
attention. For example, if you are away most of
the time during the week, make sure that you make
some time during the weekends. This helps the
puppy to identify you as his master.

During your time with your puppy, always keep in
mind that mutual respect between you and your
puppy is very important. Never try to punish your
puppy whenever he does not follow you; instead,
reward him if he does something good. Punishing
your new pet will not speed up his progress. The
puppy would just respect you out of fear, which
might make him violent in the long run.

Also, be consistent with his feeding time. Never
feed him before sleeping and always take out his
feeding bowl and drinking bowl when it's time for
bed. This way, you could monitor your puppies'
digestion and predict the time when he is able to
release.

And a final reminder: nourish your bond with your
pet. Training might require a lot patience and
time but it will eventually pay off if you put
some effort to it. Give your puppy the proper
care he deserves, feed him regularly, spend
enough time with him, and give him due respect,
and he will grow to be a good pet -- one who
respects and loves you as his master and friend.
