House training a full grown dog should be a fairly simple process. Most adult dogs do not like to be messy, unless there is a medical problem or they don't like their surroundings. A full grown dog could be house trained in 2 days of intense training. There may be some accidents, but far less than a puppy.

Step 1: Take the dog out immediately after arriving home and having a quick sniff around the house. Calmly leash the dog and take it to the area of the yard to be used for 'potty'.

Step 2: Give the command, "Go potty", or whatever you use. Even if the dog is paying no attention to you, already sniffing around, give the command.Hopefully the dog will start to sniff around the area and will mark the area with urine.

Step 3: Praise the dog if successful, really let the dog know that you are happy while it is doing its 'business' and immediately after. Do not reward a full grown dog with treats for this training, they may have to go more or may become overweight.

Step 4: Go back inside after a very short period, about 5 minutes, whether successful or not. Be prepared to go out much more often at first, depending on the age and health of the dog. Set a timer during the beginning training period to help get the dog on your schedule faster. Outside should only be for house training at this stage, not play time. Don't put the dog outside by itself for any length of time until house training is done.

Step 5: Crate train a full grown dog for night time and away time, at least until house training is done. Most full grown dogs will not relieve themselves in the same area they sleep in. You may have an angry mess or two, but these tantrums are usually short lived if you are consistent with the house training.

THINGS YOU NEED TO TRAIN DOGS:

1 Dog Collar

2.Leash

3.Dog crate

4.Timer (if necessary)

5.Patience

6.Persistence

A:

If the older dog has previously lived in a home and was housebroken, transition shouldn't be a problem. If not, introduce the dog gradually to the new home. When it first arrives, limit it to uncarpeted areas of the home and expect an "accident" or two. On the one hand, when this happens, your displeasure should be evident while you're cleaning up the accident. Do NOT yell, hit, or otherwise scare/hurt the dog because the dog will take its cues from the owner. On the other hand, and consistently, praise the dog when it does its business outside of the home. Dogs want only to please their owners and older dogs learn very quickly what brings praise and what brings displeasure. If/when at least three days have passed without another incident in the uncarpeted area, the dog can then be trusted into the rest of the home.

A:

If you call to your local pet store they may have this certain kind of disposable sheet that has a scent that we cannot smell but dogs love to urinate on it, firstly place it near your door, then after a few days place it out side and eventually your dog should get use to going outside to do its business.

first to house train them you have teach them how to pee on the pee pad. What you do is when they go pee on the carpet floor you put their face toward the pee (but don't force their head to it) and tell them no bad dog! and you put then in their cage for like 20 or 10 minutes.

I strongly disagree with the above answer. The dog won't know what you mean.

Well, the best thing is to have real grass, but if not, buy one of those plastic trays and the real grass square you can put over it so that the grass absorbs the pee instead concrete or wood where the pee just sits on top of the surface, smelly and everything.

Firstly, start at an early age, preferably if you have a puppy, start when it's sense are working and it can walk and run properly (averaged 2 months of age)

Have your dog sleep in a crate or kennel. Usually dogs won't pee in their "home" (or rather crate or kennel) because they prefer to keep that clean. When the dog wakes up, take it and carry it right to the bathroom spot so that if they have to go pee, they go right away. Don't give them a chance to pee on the ground. Sticking their head in their pee doesn't do anything and they don't learn anything from that.

Reward them if they pee, praise them, pet them, give them their favorite toy.

If the ever pee on the ground, tell them gently yet firmly "no," however never, EVER say "bad dog", never EVER hit them either. This inflicts wrong feelings from the dog to you. Remember, its still learning, have patience and never tell it "bad dog"

It takes patience and work, every time you see your cat waking up or a few minutes after drinking take it to the litter box. If your cat messes (poops) on the floor then pick it up and put it in the litter box. Cats are scent based so after awhile of smelling itself in the litter box it should get the idea

House training a large dog is not unlike training a small one. The main point is consistency. Make sure to take the dog out on a leash multiple times during the day. Wait half an hour or so after the dog's meals to ensure digestion. Use a key word or phrase that is only used before going outside. Use a reward word that is only used after the dog has successfully gone outside. Reward the dog for good behavior only. Punishment will only increase distrust which will lead to more accidents inside!

The best way is to have the cats scent in the litter box. So if your cat messes (poops) somewhere in the house constantly move it back to the litter box. Also if you catch your cat messing then you can firmly say No and take it straight to the litter box while taking it's paws and mimicking a "scratching" motion in the litter

Just take the dog or puppy out a lot of times until they learn, if it seems they will never learn you should potty-pad train them. If you crate train them, potty training goes a lot quicker.
