Housebreaking your puppy is best started with puppies are six-sixteen weeks in age. When puppies are this young, they tend to go to bathroom predictably and frequently. The earlier you start housebreaking process, happier you will be as a new dog owner!

The most important tip for successful puppy housebreaking is “Persistence is key”.

1– First, you need to teach your puppy where you want him to go to bathroom. Your puppy will not know where to go if you don’t show him. Therefore, he won’t know if he went in wrong spot. We suggest starting housebreaking process outside. Many people tend to paper train and in essence you are making training process harder for you and may end having to retrain him.

2- Praise is essential in puppy housebreaking process. It will make him feel more confident when you praise him with a treat or pat on back for a job well done – not messing in house! While mistakes can and will happen and you may get frustrated – it is very important to not punish your dog, yell or swat him if he has an accident in house.

- Once you've determined that your dog has definitely left your residence, don't pack up whole family in an effort to search for dog. Often dogs will return soon after their departure. You'll want someone at home to contact others in event that your dog wanders back home soon after search party leaves.

- Dogs usually don't go far. They're curious animals that like to look and sniff around. It's more likely for a dog to be a few blocks away than a few miles away. So stick close to home for first part of your search. Be sure to check all streets in your neighborhood. Talking to other dog owners you see is a good idea as either their dog or owner himself might have seen your dog. It's more likely that a dog owner will notice a wandering dog than someone who is not a dog lover.
