When very young, your pup’s bladder is still developing and growing and will require eliminating often.

First, it should be said all untrained dogs have "accidents" in the house. If you have just gotten a new puppy you should be prepared for this – all dogs must eliminate. However, the task in training should be teaching your new pup where to do this. As with a new baby, your puppy should be attended to or supervised all of the time. Whenever you are unable to do this, you should confine your puppy in an appropriate secure area.

The first steps in housetraining should be to establish a routine. You should always take your puppy out to eliminate immediately after he wakes or shortly after he eats. The steps to follow in this process are clearly outlined and described in the "Dog Behavior Solutions"™ video. When very young, your pup’s bladder is still developing and growing and will require eliminating often. If your dog is older and is not housetrained you should consider speaking to a veterinarian to rule out any medical causes. Some other causes of eliminating in the house are separation anxiety and fear or phobias. All these issues can be addressed during your dog’s obedience and behavior training or by consulting with a professional dog behaviorist.

Once we do a session with someone on housetraining and they follow our program, "accidents" rarely happen. The "Dog Behavior Solutions"™ video contains and takes you through a detailed step by step guide on how to housetrain your dog using the most proven and successful methods.
