Puppy House Training Why New Owners Struggle

A recent study by UK dog publication K9 Magazine has revealed that puppy house training is considered the hardest thing to deal with for new and inexperienced dog owners.

The survey, which interviewed 100 owners of dogs less than 6 months old, showed that the greatest strain in the face of new owners is training their dogs not to go to the bathroom inside the home.

Many dog ​​owners get discouraged when training their puppy at home when it seems that the dog has mastered the habit and then apparently reverts to old ways a few days later.

K9 Magazine's editor, Ryan O'Meara, the common problem faced by owners of new dogs:

"Often, when someone purchases a dog for the first time, they might never have been exposed to the dirty side of dog ownership. Sometimes it can take people a while to get used to the idea of ​​their beautiful home being turned in to a toilet by a cute puppy and therefore the stress of getting this particular behaviour correct can exceed other dog training targets."

The study indicates that 89% of owners had turned to the Internet to help them succeed in-house training their puppy.

84% said that the resources such as K9 Magazine's puppy training tips and eBooks had proved 'very useful' in helping to accomplish dog training goals.

Along with the house training a puppy, the biggest problem dog owners complained about new puppy ​​biting and howling.

K9 Magazine has produced a series of tip sheets and reports to treat the most common behaviour problems faced by new puppy owners - click -.
