Publisher's Synopsis
Housetraining a puppy is one of the most difficult tasks any dog owner will encounter. According to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association 2009-2010 National Pet Owners Survey, there are more than 77 million dogs kept as pets in America, which means that millions of dog owners had to housetrain a dog at one point or another. They did it, and so can you — in two weeks or less.
How to Housetrain Your Puppy in 14 Days or Less will teach you valuable tips that will make housetraining easier for both you and your four-legged friend. No matter how cute and cuddly that new addition to your home may be, bathroom accidents are something you will encounter until your new dog is properly housetrained. Training your new pet will take patience, consistency, and most importantly, knowledge. Your new puppy will require you take it outside several times a day, which can pose a problem for dog owners who may work full-time or may not be able to let their pups out as often as they would prefer. This book will not only provide you with information on what to do while you are home with your new best friend, but it will also give you tips on how to housetrain your dog even when you are not around.
You will understand the importance of positive reinforcement and will learn how to get your puppy on a training schedule. This book will teach you how to crate train your dog and how to recognize your puppy’s signals that it needs to go out. You will also learn what to do if and when your dog has an accident, and about the basic equipment you will need when beginning housetraining (and what pricey equipment you can do without).
We’ve interviewed dozens of dog trainers and vets to get their advice on how to effectively train your new puppy in less than two weeks. This extensively researched book will offer you a practical guide for how to train your puppy without enrolling in expensive training courses. It even contains proven tips to train your puppy, as well as case studies from experienced dog owners who share their hard-earned success stories. While the average time it takes to housetrain a puppy varies from one dog to another, the tips in this book will help ensure your new best friend is potty trained in two weeks or sooner. How to Housetrain Your Puppy in 14 Days or Less will teach you everything you need to know to make potty training an easy experience for you, your family, and your new furry companion.
