It is obvious that if we have a dog in our house we have to train him. Training the dog is part of all the responsibilities we gain when we decided have a dog for pet. Training should be an enjoyable experience that we can have with our dog, we can make it fun, and make the dog feel good with the train and motivated. There are a lot of techniques to train a dog. We must NEVER hit a dog, that's a rule, we have to be patient. The easily of training a dog depends in the age and in the kind of dog we have. Is more easy to train a puppy than an adult dog. There are 4 general steps we can follow to housetrain a dog.

The FIRST step the trainers suggest to housetrain a puppy is make him sleep near the bedrooms area to not make him feel alone or rejected. Also the dogs never do their stuff where they sleep or near. The puppies generally do their "things" every three hours, so to make it more easy we can lead him to the place out doors or in doors we want him to do it. The SECOND step is to try to lead him for the same way always to make him take the idea that that's the way he have to follow. When we lead the dog he don't have to run, because if we run he will not be able to see what way to take or where to go, so we have to walk and make it slowly.

The THIRD step is to try to make it a routine. Take him out at the same times each day, with that we establish the routine. The dig will soon know how to hold it until we take him out. The FOURTH step is that if the dog still is making his things inside the house we have to look for clues that tell you he needs to go and wait to see what does he do. If we catch our dog doing his things inside (and only if we catch him -  not after we discover he's already committed the crime), rush over and stop him by gasping his collar, pulling up on it, and saying, "NO" in a deep, stern voice. Then take him outside to let him finish up and praise him with pats on the head and say "Good (Insert name of dog here)!" when he does.

The housetrain an adult dog is different than to housetrain a puppy. The cause the adult dog is not trained may be medical, hormonal, manage-mental, or behavioral. If the veterinarian can't find anything physically wrong with our dog, the problem probably has something to do with mismanagement or the dog's emotion, so all we can do is watch him when he do his things. If he make it when he's alone try to not let him alone a lot of time and to make sure of get him put to do his stuff before we left. The dog can have those accidents of not do where he has because he's upset or with storms. There are other less common reasons for our dog to soil in the house - including submissive urination and urine-marking. Both behaviors are normal dog behaviors but they are unacceptable to most owners. Submissive urination involves the dog squatting or rolling on his back and urinating out of deference and respect. The behavior is designed to demonstrate submission to an alpha dog. Sometimes urination in the house can occur as a sign of nervousness and excitement. Urine-marking, on the other hand, is an expression of the dog's need to claim his terrirory when he feels in a competition with other dog or person. My conclusion is that all dogs can be trained we just need to be patient, and make him feel good about it :)
