With a little know-how and a lot of patience, you can train your pet to perform many behaviors. You can apply animal training techniques to almost any kind of pet. Positive reinforcement is the key to strengthening behaviors. Use a variety of interesting, stimulating, and fun rewards - snacks, toys, a back scratch, or favorite activity are all good examples
-
Train behaviors in small steps so your pet doesn't fail too often and become frustrated. Give your pet a lot of attention and a variety of rewards for each correct response. Only reinforce a behavior you want your pet to repeat; don't call attention to incorrect behavior.
House training your puppy is about consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. The goal is to instill good habits and build a loving bond with your pet.
It typically takes 4-6 months for a puppy to be fully house trained, but some puppies may take up to a year. Size can be a predictor. For instance, smaller breeds have smaller bladders and higher metabolisms and require more frequent trips outside.
