Buying a pet is not just like buying a simple toy that your only purpose is to play with it, then dump it whenever you feel like it.
Pets, such as dogs, are living beings.
They have emotions, intellect, skills, just as humans do.
Therefore, just as when you decide to obtain whatever pet you want, you must bear in mind that bringing them in your home must be as good as treating him as a member of your family.
And treating him as part of your family comes with a task you must do - dog house training.
You can always hire trainers to teach your dog the right behaviors, but then it is more rewarding if you try to start the training at the comforts of your own home.
First method you can use is the crate method.
Enclosing him in a small area where his moves are limited can be very effective in teaching him bathroom manners, because he needs a larger area where he can eliminate his wastes.
But you should not leave him in this area for a very long time because he needs to pee at a larger area, so you can take him away at frequent times to teach him where to eliminate wastes.
If you have to leave him alone, put him in a larger crate and put stacks of newspapers and tell him that this is what he can use as a temporary bathroom.
As expected, he might not like to be confined in a small area at first; however, you should not give in if he wants out.
Simply ignore him when he barks, so that he would know that it is not effective.
Also, you can give him treats whenever you put him in his crate, so he would be encouraged to go there.
A crate's purpose is no different with a baby crib or bedroom.
It's intended for giving him a sense of privacy, a place where he can sleep and eat.
Thus, you should put water in it, and some dog toys to encourage him that it is a nice place.
Enclosing him in a crate would also help him to develop his control.
Logically, he won't mess his sleeping area, so he would not soil, and pee in his area as long as he can help it.
Another dog house training you can do is dog obedience.
It is helpful for both the owner and the dog.
You can do this by strengthening your bond with your dog and by teaching him proper communication.
Knowing how to communicate with your dog makes it easy for you to make him obey your commands.
You should utter it loud over and over again so your dog can remember them.
While it is true that dog house training is a complex task, you should also remember that doing such is also advantageous not only to your dog, but to you as the owner.
Keeping in mind that he is part of the family makes the task easier to execute.
It's just like raising a little baby boy, teaching him the proper ways to behave.
