Ensure you designate a specific corner in the house where your Dog will be eliminating. Just like humans, dogs do not like eating and playing where they eliminate. therefore choose a place which has some privacy. Each time your dog show signs of wanting to eliminate, you should take him there during the initial stages of training. Always watch your Dog closely during the initial housebreaking process. Dogs are often very quiet when going potty and can have an accident in no time when not properly observed. Keep your Dog in their crate or exercise pen when you are unable to devote your full attention to them. Do not punish your Dog for having an accident. Hitting, shaking or rubbing your Dog's nose in his mess can be very frightening for your dog and can cause huge setbacks in your training.
