Taking a new puppy home can be both a very exciting and happy moment in your life but it can also be a stressful time. One of the most difficult but imperative things to do with your puppy is to housebreak or potty train them as soon as possible.
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.
