Have you ever heard that you can’t teach an old dog new trick? I have, but I don’t know why they say that.

 

Did that phrase make someone famous for saying it? Well, it doesn’t really matter because training an old dog is similar to training a new dog.

 

It might take longer because of it being used to certain ways, but you can train an old dog. Don’t think anything is impossible. Except for maybe teaching a dog to soar through the air.

 

Flying is impossible. There are not wings on dogs. Back to the subject at hand. In this article you’ll get tips for dog house training an older dog. They can also be used for a puppy.

 

Puppies don’t have a lot of knowledge. This can make house training an obstacle. Puppies go to the bathroom pretty much wherever they need to. This could happen on your carpet, bed or anywhere.

 

Older dogs will do the same as a puppy if they are not trained. The best thing you can do to stop this is to implement a schedule for going outside. Take them out every thirty minutes to begin with.

 

You shouldn’t break the schedule. If you do the dog will keep peeing on your rug. Soak the stain with a paper towel when this happens, because it will happen.

 

Take the paper towel outside, holding your nose if you have to. Find an appropriate spot for your dog to go to the bathroom and put the towel there. Let your dog sniff it, putting its nose in it if you have to.

 

This will show them where to go to the bathroom instead of in the house. Remain on your schedule.

 

Your dog will start to alert you when it needs to go by going to the door. You should let it out right away or you could find an accident on the floor.

 

This is the best way to train an older dog. Hopefully your house will smell better and your dog will be trained better.

 

All the best in your endeavors with training your best friend.
