House training is a very important event in a dog's life. It secures a tight bond and strong relationship between the master and the dog. Expert dog trainers advise that house training should begin during a dog's puppy years. Your dog's bad behavior will be easier to correct as he gets older, because obedience training took place during the time he was most receptive to following commands. Therefore, the sooner you learn how to house train a dog, the more behaved your dog will be in the future.

Here are some basic steps on how you should commence to house train a dog.

Give Him His Own Space

The untrained puppy or dog should not be allowed to wander 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 sure to keep him in a place where you can monitor what he's doing. If there ever comes a time that he'll be left by himself, better place him in a den or crate. Get him a bed 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. Familiarize him to each section of the house, and make known what he is allowed and not allowed to do in them. Do this by restraining him with a dog leash, so as to control his movement. Let him lose when you think he's gotten use to the new areas. But, remember to monitor him closely or else he might get into stuff and do wrong.

Potty Train Him

Take him to the place where he can releave himself. Be careful not to mislead him. Never permit him to frolic in that area or he may decide that he can use the same place for everything he does.

Let Him Understand The "No Chew" Command

By nature, dogs like to chew on things, since it helps in the growth of their teeth and gums. It is also sort of a healthy activity for their jaws. Part of training your dog is supplying him with toys that he may nibble on, and let him know that not all things are good for strengthening his teeth and gums. Be stern as you give him the "No chew" command. Applaud him whenever he does obey and give him a reward.

Set Off Limit Areas

It is very important that you keep your dog out of any place in the house that has a sofa and chairs or electrical wiring lying on the floor. Give him the "Out" command and when he does obey, lovingly pat him on the head showing your proud.

Again keep in mind, the sooner you start, the more well behaved your dog will act when he gets older. Try to devote a hour or two towards house training your dog and you'll both be happier for it.
