| Regardless of the age of your dogs, it can never be too late to start the training. |
If you ever have a bell somewhere around your house you may want to
try this kind of housebreaking technique for your dog. It is
strait-forward and really easy to do, but it has some things that you
may want to be aware of.
The good:This method by far is the easiest method
for your dog to do, it requires very little time and all you need is a
bell that can be rung by your puppy. Some string and a door and that is
just about all you will need for this housebreaking thing.
The Bad: Depending on the bell sometimes you may not
hear the ring, it is only good when you are at home and close to your
dog for the most part. Another thing is that the bell will ring every
time that part is touched so you may have some false alarms which is
never good when you are trying to housebreak your puppy.
Conclusion: All in all this is a method for people
with maybe a one floor house or apartment and can spare a bell to tie
onto their front door.
Training:What you should do now is whenever you see
your puppy urinating somewhere that you do not want it to all you have
to do is say “NO!”(In a stern but normal voice) then
take it to the door and use your puppies paw to ring the bell.put the
bell somewhere where the dog can reach it without your help, such as
around the door knob that extends to a point that your puppy can reach
it.
After you do that go outside with the dog and let it finish his or her business and take it back inside.
Do this for about 2-4 days and your dog should be all set and ready
to go, of course you have to do this everyday and every time to get this
to work.
The results:You should hear the bell ringing which
means that you will need to open the door and let your dog out, which is
what you will need to do.
