Dog Training - How to Housebreak an Adopted Dog

• Go buy some books on dog training, or sign him up for training. I prefer training classes because it gives the dog owner more structure and usually has far better results. I prefer classes that do not use treats as the reinforcer. Downside to training is the cost. But you will be less likely to get rid of your dog for basic training issues.


• If you are looking to save some money since obedience class can be costly, there are a lot of great resources online and offline as well. There are a host of DVDs, ebooks, and hard copy books that can help you and your boyfriend train your dog at home. The trick is finding the good ones. I recommend checking out reviews online for which books or DVDs work well. For example, Cesar Millan, the Dog Whisperer guy, has been highly rated and acclaimed. My in-laws have used his techniques and their boxer is very well trained. So he is a pretty reliable source for home training. Hope this helps.


• I would suggest you go to obedience classes. I prefer a positive approach to training, such as clicker training. Here is a video that might be helpful:

• Enroll him in an obedience class, it's one of the best ways to teach puppy's the basics because they are around other dogs so they have more temptation.
