Some Types of Dog hard to housetrain?
Hi -- I currently live in Cairo -- thinking about taking in a street
dog puppy soon (my dog died last winter). However, i stopped in at a local vet's to chat today and he claimed that the local street dogs are notoriously hard to housebreak, even if they're taken at 2 months. I have trouble believing this. But is there any chance there could be some truth to what he says? Are any breeds/types of dog known to be harder to housebreak than others? Thanks Dan |

Some Types of Dog hard to housetrain?
I took an abused 2 year old that was tied outside and left to roam the
neighborhood at times and had her house trained in less than 4 days. I used a crate and kept her confined when I couldn't be with her and when I was home she was in the room with me at all times so I could watch her. The key to house training is that you must pay attention to the dog and be consistent with praise and rewards. House breaking should never onvolve punishment if the dog makes a mistake. The whole point of it is to get the dog to come to you when it wants out and by doing so it gets a reward. In Brandys case she was all about attention and treats. She was so happy to please me and wanted attention and food that she was the easiest dog I have ever house trained.. Good luck Celeste wrote in message ups.com...
