Even after training, it is likely that your dog will occasionally "spot mark" or urinate in certain places. The reason for spot marking can be just plain instinct or just plain insolence. My friend has a little beagle puppy that is pretty well housebroken but sometimes, out of pure spite, he will urinate under the coffee table or on the welcome mat.

If you find yourself moving into a new home or apartment, your dog might even “forget” where he is supposed to take care of his natural needs. On the related website, they teach dog owners about housebreaking issues; what causes them, and how to solve them. Dog owners need to understand that this is normal behavior for some dogs. While they can and will spot mark to spite you, they also do it simply because they have to mark their territory.

When you first move into a house you have to make it your own. You have to make it home. You do this by decorating a certain way or changing the color of the walls. Well, dogs do the same thing by urinating along the perimeter of their home. It is plain instinct. Patience, consistent directions and praise for your dog goes a long way toward resolving the issue.

While spot marking can be a form of dog aggression, it can also be inevitable "doggy behavior". If he or she does not stop after a day or two, you’ll have to try and take care of a possible aggression problem, but if you get angry from the beginning, you might end up creating an even bigger problem. Learning how to properly train you dog is fully explored in the 186 page eBook of doggie know-how to help owners of all breeds deal with aggressions in many different forms.

I am sure many of us these days are hectic as ever and barely have time for ourselves and more so the pets, or in this case, the dog(s) we have in our lives. Here are some great tips and products if needed for helping those dog lovers in our life and yourself if you have one or two running around the house or outside to make life happier, not just for you, but for your pet also.

Tips on Potty Training your Dog:

1.If your dog is house trained or stays in the house more than outside, have a specific place where you keep a box, bed or container which you do not plan on changing every week. Use the same container or bed by keeping the color and size constant so that the container is constant in the dog's mind. The dog knows this is where it will sleep and because dogs do not soil their bedding or their sleeping surroundings, they will know to wait until you let them outside. The dog learns from the start that you control potty time.

2.After meals, give your pet a pre-determined and constant number of minutes before you take them out after their meal. Whether it is 10, 20 or 45 minutes, make sure to keep this number constant before taking them out. Later on your can always train the dog to signal to you when it is ready. Food is a trigger not only to eat but also to go. When it comes to potty training success, allow your pet to get outside when the urge is approaching. What’s more is that you shouldn’t leave food out. Put it down for them at the designated time and allow them to eat for 15 to 30 minutes and remove the bowl. Soon it will learn and that again allows you to control potty time.

3.Pick a specific spot outside where your dog should go every time and take it to that area. This helps your puppy to learn and reinforce that when it needs to go, it should only take care of business when in this area. Also the smell of urine is yet another trigger for your dog to go.

4.Don’t reward them with food. Remember that rewards need to be emotional, and therefore it is more successful to give them a reward of a patting and rub down than it is for you to hand them a treat.

5.Reward success, but don’t punish accidents. Although you will be angry and you will want to punish your pet, your pet does not see this as a bad thing. He sees it as attention. He also can become aggressive as well as not like to be around you. Dogs do not relate their potty mistake to the punishment you give them. Instead, ignore them when they do something wrong. Don’t speak to them or interact with them. Others have said to raise your voice and look directly at your puppy when you are displeased with what it did. This means that you talk to your dog in a calm way 99 percent of the time, but when you are angry or disagee with what the dog has done, you can raise your voice.

Caring for any animal is an ongoing, tiresome and at times expensive task. But due to these 5 tips and the love you have for your animal, any training should be successful.
