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.
