House Training A Dog Without a Crate
House training an adult dog if you have had no previous experience Potty Training dogs before, can be difficult, but it can be done. You do not have to crate a dog in order to have it toilet trained, though popular opinion says that crate training is an important part of the house training program for your dog.
To house train a dog without a crate the first thing to remember is that because your dog cannot talk he or she needs to be able to understand what behaviour you are trying to teach her. So communication is vital for success.
To assist in this process, take your dog outside frequenty. Every two hours is fine.
When taking the dog outside, choose a word for toilet, such as wee, and use the same word every time you take her outside to toilet. When she performs, give her a reward straight away, so that by reinforcing the behaviour you want for her, she understands what you want her to do and will repeat it next time.
Keep this repetition up for as long as it takes, and until she gets the message.
If, while she is learning to be toilet trained, she has the occasional mishap inside the house, do not be angry, just clean it up. and keep on with the training.
It is a good idea to have your dog where you can see her while potty training, so that you can keep an eye on her and be prepared to act quickly.
By setting up a training schedule and keeping to it, you are giving yourself the best chance of successfully house training your dog.
