House Training Dogs

The goal of house training dogs is to teach and help them to develop bladder and bowel control. Young dogs, in particular, have no concept of this and need to eliminate on a regular basis, just like a human baby. In order to help them develop this control you will have to develop the habit of taking them outside on a regular and frequent basis. Very young dogs will need to be taken outside first thing in the morning, last thing at night, and at least once per hour during the rest of the day.  They will probably also need to eliminate just after waking and soon after eating.  As you can see you are going to be making frequent trips outside but the frequency will reduce as the dog get older.
