The most important part of house training your puppy is to not get angry or raise your voice at your puppy if they are relieving themselves inside your home. This is crucial, as your puppy will relate the action of relieving themselves with you getting cross, which means they will continue doing their business inside, only hiding from you.<\/p>\n
Do distract them<\/strong><\/p>\n Instead of raising your voice, try distracting your pet instead when you see them peeing or sniffing the ground. Be careful \u2013 distracting them does not mean scaring them! Try tapping the table or making a noise which isn\u2019t directed towards them. Avoid clapping as you might want to use it to praise them for doing a good job or for calling them.<\/p>\n You should choose a particular area of grass outside where you always bring your pup to when they need to relieve themselves. They will relate this area with peeing orpooping and be more inclined to\u00a0do it there as opposed to inside your house!<\/p>\n Watch your dog <\/strong><\/p>\n Behavior such as sniffing the ground or walking around the house in circles could indicate it\u2019s time to take them outside. This is when you should distract your dog, pick them up and take them to their designated spot. Make sure you stay outside and watch your dog with a treat ready to give them if they relieve themselves where you want them to do so. Remember to also bring treats with you on walks to praise your dog every time they do their business outside to encourage them to continue with the good behavior.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/beautiful-1867463_960_720.jpg\")
