What's the best way to housebreak a new pet?
In order to housebreak your pet there are some standard rules to follow. When he has finished his meal, immediately take him out to his toilet area. Stand still and let him sniff around for a preferred spot. When the "duty" is performed, crouch down, point at the urine or stool and praise him by name. Look directly at the matter, not at the animal. This should be done after each meal, waking up, extreme excitement, drinking water, prolonged chewing on a toy or if he seems to be sniffing and looking for a spot to eliminate. Your puppy should learn where to go in about 4 days.
