Generally, dogs are very clean animals - they won't soil close
to where they eat, or where they sleep. But living in a house is
unnatural for an animal whose instincts would be to roam
wherever she wants to go, so you will have to help her learn
where and when she can relieve herself.
It is essential that you form good toilet habits for your dog as
early on as possible. Trying to break the habit of a dog is
quite difficult and it can be very frustrating. You need to use
guidance and encouragement to help

the pet. Animal behaviorists
have some helpful tips that you can use to help with the
housebreaking of your pet.
Believe it or not, dogs are sanitary creatures. If a dog does
soil accidentally in the wrong place, it is likely that it will
be far from his dog dish, at least six to ten feet. This is true
for the place where the dog sleeps as well. But, unless you find
a good place for her to go and train her in that manner, the
rest of your house is okay to them.
The process for housebreaking a

dog is the same if he is a puppy
or an adult dog new to your home. You'll need to take him
outside every few hours and also 30 minutes after he eats. Take
your pet to the designated bathroom spot. Stay with the pet
until she goes, and then praise her when she does. If she does
not go, bring her back inside and try again in fifteen minutes.
Watch her though. If the dog starts sniffing and circling take
them out right away as this is a sign that she is about to go.
Pay attention to her signs and take her out. Soon,

relate to going outside to going to the bathroom.
Some dogs are housebroken much faster than others. Some dog's
personality will cause her to go one way or the other. But, if
you take her outside at the right time, it will go smoother. A
puppy of less than four months old will need to go out during
the night. Older puppies can hold it that long. A dog that cries
to be let out has an urgent need. Get up and take her out, she
needs every chance to succeed that she can get. Positive

is necessary for success.
How you treat accidents will affect your dog's overall learning
curve. If you catch your dog going in the act, distract her with
a clap or call her name. Take her outside calmly at that time
and praise her for finishing outside. Clean up any accident that
you find on the floor. If the dog approaches during this time,
ignore her. Don't talk to or punish her at this point. The worst
thing that you can do is to yell at her or physically punish
her. This will cause her to fear you

is the best course of action here.
