Fast dog training
Here’s an easy way to house train your dog in one weekend if you have a fenced yard.
When training a dog, be sure to give your dog a way to get out of the house. The best solution is to install a dog door and fence but if this isn’t possible establish frequent and predictable walks for your dog. Don’t punish your dog for messing in the house when it has no way to get outside.
To train your puppy (older than 16 weeks) in one weekend: Put the dog out in the fenced yard every hour for eight hours. Praise him when he does his business. No food for two hours before bed and one walk before bed. Put the puppy in a crate for the night. The next day, carry the puppy quickly out before you do anything else, then out every hour for four hours, gradually increasing to two hours.
Watch for signs that the dog needs to go out. A restless puppy should be taken out immediately. If the dog comes to you or to the door, take it out.
With puppies, always take the puppy out a half hour after it eats or drinks.
If you have a dog door, even young dogs will easily learn to let themselves in and out in one or two days.
