If you would like to know how to house train a puppy, then this guide will show you how. In particular, we are going to discuss how long it will be for you to see consistent results, the key aspects of the paper training method, and the secrets for making the crate training method work for you. When you have finished reading this post, you should know what you need to do to house train your puppy, and which method will be easiest for you to use.

The first thing to keep in mind when house training a puppy, is that you won’t see results over night. So make sure you don’t let yourself feel discouraged if it isn’t working instantly – be positive. In most cases, it takes around two to three weeks for your dog to become fully house trained. However, most professional dog trainers recommend you stick with your preferred house training method for at least two months, to ensure your dog fully understands the routine. Creating this routine is the key to making sure the training sticks for life.

The first dog house training method we’re going to discuss is the paper training method. This method simply means covering your floor with paper, in the room where your puppy stays over night. During the night your puppy may feel the urge to relieve himself, but will be left with no other option than to go on the paper. Over time, you reduce the amount of paper used to cover the floor, but your puppy should still relieve himself over the paper.

A more effective and easier method to employ for most dog owners, is the crate training method. This involves making sure your dog is comfortable being left in a crate over night. You need to remind yourself that crates are in no way cruel of harmful to your puppy. In fact, your dog sees the crate as a fun, safe place to be – full of his own toys and blankets.

The reason why this method is so effective, is because a dog will not want to relieve himself in his own sleeping area. When your puppy is happily left in his crate for a few hours, he will not relieve himself here – and when you let him outside later, he will be ready to relieve himself. Over time, and with persistence, your dog will soon learn to go outside and not in your home.

In conclusion, I have shown you exactly how to go about house training a dog. Specifically, we have discussed how long it takes to see positive results, how to use the paper training method, and how to use the crate training method successfully. Now that you’ve read this guide you should be able to pick a suitable house training method for you, and start to see some positive results within a week.
