If you have just picked out a new dog or puppy and plan to keep him or her inside, your first priority should be to get your pet house trained. There are several dog potty training methods that will help you out and the method you choose to use will depend on your own personal preference and your family’s lifestyle.

Paper training is one type of potty training you can use. The basic idea here is to teach your new dog or puppy to do their business on a paper somewhere in your house. Praising them when they do what you want is important and make sure you scold them when they go where they are not supposed to. Some people use this method as a backup for emergencies and plan to use the next method for normal situations.

Many dog owners that have house dogs, will want to train their dogs to go outside. The best way to do this is to take them out very often and praise them when they go to the bathroom. As I mentioned above, make sure you scold them when they make a mess in the house. If you are interested in combining two techniques, you can praise them a little bit when they go on the paper and praise them excessively when they go outside. This will help them know you want them to go outside, but it is ok if they have to use the paper.

Another possible technique to use is called crate training and works well for people who can’t let their dog out frequently.
