How do you house train a dog?

Answer by  JenaMae (794)

Tie a bell to a piece of string about 2.5 feet long. Attach the other end to the door knob. Whenever you take your dog outside, hold his paw in your hand, slap the bell with it, and say "OUTSIDE." Then take the dog outside. He will learn to hit the bell when he needs to go out.

Start by finding something that your dog has urinated on. Rub that object on a few sheets of newspaper. This will get your dogs sent on the newspaper and it will help him to relieve himself there. Day by day move the newspaper closer and closer to the outside door.

To house train a dog, you need a lot of patience! Some people say that the praise and punishment system doesn't work but it has worked for centuries. If your dog has an accident in the house, show them what they've done, yell NO and put them outside. When they go outside, give them lots of praise.
