When house training dogs the best training uses the dogs own instincts to avoid soiling its bed to train the dog where and where not to eliminate. That is the basis behind crate training.

Let’s dive right in.

House Training Dogs Using Confinement

Crate training in which the dog is confined to its crate in the absence of the owner, and den training, in which the dog is confined to a small area of the home.

In essence, the crate, or the room, becomes the dog’s den. Dogs are naturally very clean animals, and they try their best to avoid using their dens as toilets.

Puppies and Older Dogs

This type of house training dogs usually works very well. Both for puppies and for older dogs.

Problems with this type of toilet training are usually the result of not understanding the signals the dog is sending, not being consistent with feeding times, or trying to rush the process.

The house training process can be sped up somewhat by consistently praising the dog and rewarding it for toileting in the proper place. However, some dogs cannot be rushed through this important process.

Properly House Training Dogs

When house training dogs it is always best to train the dog properly the first time than to go back and retrain a problem dog.

If the dog continues to soil the den area after house training, the most likely reason is that the owner has left the dog in the den for too long.

Another reason may be that the den area is too large. In this case, the best strategy is to make the den area smaller. Or to take the dog to the toilet area more frequently.

Beds

If the dog soils the bed that has been provided in the den area, it is most likely because the owner has left the dog there for too long, and the dog had an understandable accident.

Or it could be that the dog has not yet adopted this area as the bed. In addition, urinary tract infections and other medical conditions can also cause dogs to soil their beds.

Checked Out

It is important to have the dog thoroughly checked out by a veterinarian to rule out any medical problems.

One other reason for accidents when house training dogs that many people overlook is boredom.

Dogs who are bored often drink large amounts of water and therefore must urinate more frequently than you might think.

If you notice your dog consuming large amounts of water, be sure to take the dog to the established toilet area more often. And provide the dog with toys and other distractions to eliminate boredom.

Root Cause

Boredom is the root cause of many dog behavior problems, not only house training issues.

Chewing and other destructive behaviors are also often caused by boredom and separation anxiety.

Other problems with house training dogs can occur when the dog’s den is not properly introduced.

In some cases dogs can react to the den as if it is a prison or a punishment. Those dogs may exhibit signs of anxiety, such as whining, chewing and excessive barking.

House Training Dogs Securely

It is important for the dog to feel secure in its den, and to think of it as a home and not a cage.

The best way to house train a puppy or dog, or to re-house train a problem dog, is to make yourself aware of the dog’s habits and needs.

Sleeping and Play

Creating a healthy, safe sleeping and play area for your dog, as well as a well defined toilet area, is important for any house training program.

House training dogs is not always an easy process, but it is certainly an important one.

Number One

The number one reason that dogs are surrendered to animal shelters is problems with inappropriate elimination. So a well structured program for house training dogs can literally be a lifesaver for your dog.

Now I’d like to hear from you.

Pets are humanizing. They remind us we have an obligation and responsibility to preserve and nurture and care for all life.
Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened.
