In general, training provides an environment of boundaries, rules, and expectations, all of which are important for a dog to feel balanced and secure. It is a dog’s natural instinct to follow human order. Dogs are constantly looking to humans for instructions, both verbal and nonverbal, even if the human is unaware. Dogs are excellent readers of human body language and can notice even the tiniest change in facial expressions. This reading of body language has allowed dogs to successfully evolve to where they are today. Typically, an indoor housedog that is not house trained, will not have a happy human companion and that can make for a hostile living environment. Whatever the rules of the house are, they need to be consistent ones that everyone in household can live with. Without reliable cause and effect for their actions, dogs can easily develop behavior and anxiety issues. House training a dog will give a dog the order that it needs and make for a happier and more sanitary living environment.

House trained is for the most part a perspective. To most people it means the dog does not chew up or go to the bathroom in the home.

House trained means the dog can be left alone in he home for an extended period of time without relieving himself or chewing up furniture, things of that nature.

Why are small dogs difficult to housebreak?

Simple answer: small dog = small bladder They just can NOT "hold it" as long.More complicated answers:1. Some people are just not as diligent with housebreaking a small dog. Reason is because if full-grown a Chihuahua has an accident it's easy to clean; if a full-grown German Shepherd has an accident it's a huge mess!2. People are more likely to "paper train" smaller dogs first...this makes full housebreaking take longer.3. People are more likely to"spoil" a smaller dog vs. a larger dog.4. Some people (idiots really) don't have a clue how to housebreak ANY dog .... they use "old fashioned"methods like hitting or "rubbing the nose in the mess".This does NOT housebreak a dog!! It only makes them afraid so that they hide somewhere in the house when they have to "go".... and a small dog can more easily "hide" a mess than a big dog.


When is it too late to housebreak a puppy?

Technically, it's never too late to housebreak a puppy (or dog). You can housebreak a 6-year-old dog, but it is going to be harder than housebreaking a younger puppy, because the habit of relieving himself whenever is less ingrained. Until puppies are 12 weeks old, they are not physically capable of "holding it" (until then, watch them carefully and take them outside/to their papers whenever they have to go; put them in a crate when you can't supervise them), but housebreaking should begin as soon as you bring your dog home. To do it, simply reward when he (I'm using the masculine here, but the training process is the same for females) relieves himself outside and ignore when he doesn't: punishment is pointless. Hope this helps!
