Train Your Dog in No Time.....top methods!

                                             An Approach to Housetraining an Adult Dog

Bringing an adult dog into your home demands as much effort from you and the family as does a puppy. It’s a mistake to think that just because the dog is full-grown and may have been potty trained in one home, he’ll just immediately adjust to your home’s elimination schedule, too. That’s not realistic. The dog has many adjustments to his new environment and doesn’t instinctively know that you don’t allow peeing on the floor – especially since ior owner didn’t mind or didn’t seem to care. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that because he’s an adult dog he’ll just “know” what to do. Start with him as if he were a puppy and gradually teach him the routine of your home’s pet potty schedule. You probably need to start with crate training or restriction to a bathroom. Then set a schedule for potty breaks. Adult dogs are very picky about finding a potty place outside that’s apart from where they play, just as they don’t like to potty near where they sleep or eat. Help him find that place in your yard or outside when walking and return him there for subsequent potty breaks. You have to monitor the potty breaks for several weeks to learn your dog’s elimination patterns

You also have to set morning and evening feeding times. He may not have had such an organized life schedule, so this could take time to adjust. Don’t believe that old saying, ‘You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” It’s not the age of the dog that matters - it’s the consistency of the owner. If your dog came from an abusive home, even if it was just filled with shouting and hitting with paper for any accidents, then your training efforts may take longer. First you have to win the dog’s confidence and understand that he needs time to get comfortable in his new home. There will be accidents, so be prepared to clean it up and move forward. Don’t assume that an adult dog will be any easier to train than a puppy. Both dogs would face the same adjustment issues. You have to train with consistency and affection so that you reinforce the responses that you want to be repeated. An older male dog may be accustomed to marking his territory by urinating on it. This is an instinctive behavior for male dogs - you aren’t going to break him of it without breaking his spirit or having him neutered

                                                 Consistency Is Key with Housetraining

There are very few dogs that can’t be housetrained - just poor pet owners who don’t understand the value of consistency. You’re the most important element in successful housetraining for a puppy or adult dog that’s new in your home. The dog is looking to you to set boundaries and rules, while also showing that he’s welcome in your world. Housetraining might take a few days – or it might take months – each dog is different. It takes at least several weeks or a few months to establish housetraining with a puppy. Some owners say that puppies are easier to train since they have no negative experiences to counteract. Other owners insist that older dog is easier to train because they have better-developed bladders, can wait longer between breaks, and know something about housetraining. It doesn’t matter which is right or wrong, it’s only about dealing with the dog you have in the most positive way so that you’re teaching a good lesson, not instilling fear. The old method of housebreaking was punishment center
The old method of housebreaking was punishment centered - hitting a puppy with rolled-up paper to make him stop having accidents and then punishing him again because he urinated on the floor instead of the newspaper.

Needless to say, it rarely got the desired behavior. Positive reinforcement shows the puppy exactly what you want him to do by rewarding the potty behavior with praise and affection. These are far more powerful motivators for your dog than punishment. If the dog senses that you’re going to be home soon, he will make every effort to wait for the potty break. But if you’re home on time one day, late the next,  and later the following day, then your dog is smart enough to give up and go when he has to. That’s not his choice - particularly if he’s in a crate because he dislikes combining his potty with his personal space. Losing that consistency will cause him to give up and go against his instinct to potty in a separate place. Housetraining takes time, so you need to be prepared to schedule yourself for this task until it’s complete. That’s going to interrupt your schedule and cause you to watch the clock. If you’ll make this sacrifice for the weeks needed to train your dog, then you’ll be done with the process completely. This is a small price to pay for a housetrained, well-adjusted dog that will live comfortably in your home for many years. At the end of the training period, you aren’t a screaming wreck and your dog isn’t cowering under furniture at the sound of your voice. Effective training builds a lasting bond with your dog.
