Housetraining your dog

1. Do not vary your dog's diet.

2. Treats should only be given as a reward for the puppy going into the crate.

3. Bring him in as soon as he does his business.

4. Praise every time you see him pee or poop. Do this forever. Reinforcing good behavior never hurt anything.

5. Dogs who go out and just dink around and then go in their crate need more exercises when they go outside. A long walk will often cure the problem. BE SURE TO PRAISE WITH GOOD OUTSIDE or whatever you want - then when you have the dog in the house and say "DO YOU WANT TO GO OUTSIDE" he will learn what you mean.

6. Older dogs are house trained exactly like young pups.
