Walk the dog give a comand such as heel, do not allow the animal to be in control, you must teach him you are master, tough gently but firmly, giving the command, consistently. give praise when the animal obeys, carry treats when he sits or stays etc, praise and treat, but remain in complete control through the prosess, don't just stop there, control the pet until the training, is complete, caging them only make them nervious, and some animals go stir crazy, cage phobia! Go to the animal planet channel web site for more training tips. If you don't have the time, to train this pet your self I am sure your local animal control center will have low cost trainers, how would you feel if you were caged? We must remember all living things desire to be free, and need affection is vital,lots of it. Thanks for listening!

If you have a puppy, first thing you need to remember is that for up to 3 to 6 months they’re bladders are very small and should probably be taken out every hour. Take your dog or puppy to a certain spot outside and use the same word or phrase with them every time; “Go Potty”, “Potty” ect. Then once they are done, take them right back inside, don’t play with them or let them walk around. If you want to just take your dog out to play then go to a different spot on the lawn so he/she wont get confused Doing this will let them know exactly what they are out there to do and nothing else and will help them to remember. If you have to leave your dog for an extended amount of time try getting something called Puppy Pads. It’s a disposable pad you leave in your house for you dog to use the bathroom on. I’ve never used them but a friend of mine has and was very pleased with them. Also if you come home and your dog did go in the house don’t yell at it. After 5 minutes your dog isn’t going to remember what he/she did wrong and it will be useless. If you catch your dog going in the house then tell him/her no and point to the puddle and then take them outside to the same spot you take them to use the bathroom and try to get them to go again. Always praise them when they are done with their business outside and remember to take them inside right after. Hope this was helpful and good luck.<br><b>References : </b><br> No, it just teaches your dog to go into the crate; and its just cruel.

You will be training your dog to have his own private place and as such he will not soil where he sleeps. Maybe a few times early on, but after that he will quickly learn. There is no better way to train, as now you have a place to safely put your dog when you leave the house and don't have to fear coming back to a ripped up house. Even the most well behaved and trained dog can get scared or lonely or bored and rip up the house if he doesn't have supervision. This training will stick for life and you'll be glad to have done it this way. Training by any other method does not make as much sense.<br><b>References : </b><br> Most definitely.
