Whenyou are away from your dogs, keep them in a crate large enough to turn aroundin. Dogs are den animals, and being in a crate replicates being in a cave orden. Your dog will feel secure, and is much less likely to have an accidentwhen in fairly confined quarters.

Don'tpunish your dogs when they do have an accident. Be persistent, and your littledog will catch on. Remember that when a puppy isn't housetrained, it is a humanerror - not a dog's mistake.

Puppy's Behaviors atHome

Whenpuppy training your dog, use quick and strong "shh..." sound in steadof "No" to mark for undesirable behaviors will be more effective. Thereason is the word "No" is always in use in your daily conversation.Don't forget to give plenty of praises for the good behavior as dogs willalways learn better with positive reinforcements.
