Here are some basic steps on how you should start to house train a dog.
Give Him His Own Space
The untrained puppy or dog should not be allowed to move about aimlessly around the house, without any supervision. You may not know it yet, but your pet may already be chewing on unsafe things and worse, may get themselves injured or electricuted. If you are at home, make certain to keep him in a place where you can keep an eye on what he's doing. If there ever comes a time that he'll be left alone, better place him in a den or crate. Get him a place to sleep of his own that may include a blanket or pillow , some toys, and a bowl for both water and food. Let him have time to play freely, so he can get enough exercise.
Introduce Him to New Areas
After you have taught him how to behave in his own space, it is now time to introduce him to other areas of the house. Make sure to spend quality time with him in each new area. If you want to show him a new spot where he will eat, do it under your constant direction. Introduce him to each section of the house, and make apparent what he is allowed and not allowed to do in them. Do this by leashing him, so as to restrict his movement. Let him lose when you feel he's gotten use to the new areas. But, remember to monitor him closely or else he might get into stuff and cause damage.
Potty Train Him
Take him to the place where he can releave himself. Be mindful not to bewilder him. Never permit him to play in that area or he may decide that he can use the same spot for everything he does.
Let Him Understand The "No Chew" Command
By nature, dogs enjoy chewing on things, since it helps in the growth of their teeth and gums. It is also kind of a healthy exercise for their jaws. Part of training your dog is supplying him with toys that he may nibble on, and let him realize that not all things are good for strengthening his teeth and gums. Be serious as you give him the "No chew" command. Applaud him whenever he does obey and give him a treat.
Set Off Limit Areas
It is paramount that you keep your dog away from any room that has a sofa and chairs or visible cords plugged into wall sockets. Give him the "Out" command and when he does obey, tenderly pat him on the head showing your proud.
Again keep in mind, the quicker you get started, the more well behaved your dog will act when he gets older. Put aside an hour or two towards house training your dog and you'll both be happier for it.
