Your Dog Favorite Links Rockburn Home Page House breaking means getting your dog not to go to the bathroom in the house. House training means getting your dog to get used to a crate. The importance of thorough house-breaking can't be over emphasized.
Some breeds are easier to house break than others.
There are two basic ways to house break your new puppy. In one way, you try to train your puppy all at once to go outside to the bathroom. In another way, you use a newspaper in the house for a little while. Then, after the puppy is use to the newspaper, try to get him to use outside more and more. However, if you live in an apartment, you might want to start with the newspaper first or at least at the same time as you try to get your puppy to go outside.
