Press Release Summary = In essence, the crate, or the room, becomes the dog's den.
Dogs are naturally very clean animals, and they try their best to avoid using their
dens as toilets.



Press Release Body = The best house training uses the dogs own instincts to avoid
soiling its bed to train the dog where and where not to eliminate. That is the
basis behind crate training, in which the dog is confined to its crate in the
absence of the owner, and den training, in which the dog is confined to a small area
of the home.



In essence, the crate, or the room, becomes the dog's den. Dogs are naturally very
clean animals, and they try their best to avoid using their dens as toilets.



This type of training usually works very well, both for puppies and for older dogs.
Problems with this type of toilet training are usually the result of not
understanding the signals the dog is sending, not being consistent with feeding
times, or trying to rush the process.



While the house training process can be sped up somewhat by consistently praising
the dog and rewarding it for toileting in the proper place, some dogs cannot be
rushed through this important process. It is always best to house train the dog
properly the first time than to go back and retrain a problem dog.



If the dog continues to soil the den area after house training, the most likely
reason is that the owner has left the dog in the den for too long. Another reason
may be that the den area is too large. In this case, the best strategy is to make
the den area smaller or to take the dog to the toilet area more frequently.



If the dog soils the bed that has been provided in the den area, it is most likely
because the owner has left the dog there for too long, and the dog had an
understandable accident. Or it could be that the dog has not yet adopted this area
as the bed. In addition, urinary tract infections and other medical conditions can
also cause dogs to soil their beds. It is important to have the dog thoroughly
checked out by a veterinarian to rule out any medical problems.



One other reason for house training accidents that many people overlook is boredom.
Dogs who are bored often drink large amounts of water and therefore must urinate
more frequently. If a dog consuming large amounts of water, be sure to take the dog
to the established toilet area more often, and provide the dog with toys and other
distractions to eliminate boredom.



Boredom is the root cause of many dog behavior problems, not only house training
issues. Chewing and other destructive behaviors are also often caused by boredom
and separation anxiety.
