A simple matter of repetition is needed to house break your dog. After they eat take them out and reward them with praise when the go to the bathroom. I typically start my day by taking my dogs out and 5 minutes might pass but the results are there. I then take them back in and go to work on weekdays and come home at noon and let them out. After a good romp I let them back in and do the same at 4 and 7pm. With a schedule you can house break your dog in a day or two. Of course some dogs are worse than others but its not as hard as people lead it to be. Housebreaking your dog is easy - once you understand the basics of "why", "when", and "where" your puppy/dog wishes to defecate and urinate. By following our procedures, your puppy/dog should be housebroken within the next 10 days.
"WHY" AND "WHEN"
The only three times a puppy normally defecates or urinates are: 1) when he/she eats or drinks anything;
2) when he/she has processed the food and liquid they have eaten;
3) when he/she wakes up from sleeping.
After the puppy eats or drinks, their system tells them to let go of their old reserve which is stored inside the body. The reason the dog's body stores this reserve is because in the wild, the dog may not "catch the rabbit." Meaning, the dog must catch it's meal. If it does not catch the meal, the dog's body will continue to use it's "stored reserve" of food from the last meal. Once the dog eats or drinks anything, it's body "lets go" of this stored amount. So after your puppy/dog eats or drinks, he/she must defecate and urinate. Your puppy/dog's body does not utilize everything they eat or drink. They may only use sixty percent of what they eat or drink. The puppy/dog's body changes the food and water into energy. It stores what it needs for it's reserve and then "lets go" of the rest. It takes energy just to digest the food and water. This is why your puppy/dog normally sleeps after he/she has a big meal. And after the puppy/dog has processed the food and water (through it's body) it must defecate and urinate.
Defecating and urinating is the puppy/dog's way of eliminating waste and toxins from it's body. Again, the most common reason for a puppy/dog to wake up from sleeping is because it must defecate or urinate.
" WHERE"
The reason your puppy/dog smells the ground before he/she urinates or defecates is because they are trying to smell ammonia. They like to go to the bathroom where other animals (or themselves) have gone before. When they smell ammonia, it is like a neon light saying "rest room here!"
Your puppy/dog does not enjoy the smell of their own defecation or urination. Because of this, he/she will not go exactly where they sleep. They may go a few feet away from where they sleep, but not exactly where they sleep.
