One of the most important responsibilities of every weimaraner owner is to find out more about the breed including weimaraner training. At eight weeks, puppies should undergo socialization, basic obedience training and housebreaking. These three aspects of training are extremely important in raising a well-behaved pet everybody loves to be around.

There's nothing more gratifying than having a dog that poops and pees at the right time and place. You will never have to worry about urine stains on the carpet or seeing a pile of poop just beside the couch. With a housebroken pet, you can be confident allowing him to roam around the house knowing that he knows what to do when the urge to urinate or defecate arises.

Listed below are eight tips that can help you housebreak your pet successfully:

Understand your pet's condition.

When you brought home a puppy, be aware that puppies are not capable of holding their bladder for longer periods of time hence the need to relieve often. The same may be true to dogs with any kind of kidney and urinary disease. By knowing your pet's condition, you will be able to determine what works best for your pet.

Keep watch over your dog.

Whether you brought home a puppy or an adult dog, experts always advise that you keep an eye on him particularly during your pooch's first few days at home in which he is more likely to feel strange at the new atmosphere you brought him into. Furthermore, you have to;

Watch our for signs.

Dogs always show signs before they go potty. These signs include sniffing around, walking in circles and being too restless. When these signs appear, you need to bring your dog to the area you chose as his toilet instantly and let him finish there.

Establish feeding schedule.

If you feed your four-legged friends almost at the same time each day, he is also more likely to potty almost the same times too.

Bring him out on regular basis.

The best times to take your dog out are during; upon waking up each morning, after eating or drinking, after exercise and other strenuous activities, before going to bed at night as well as when he's nervous or excited. By doing this on regular basis, he's more likely to develop such routine that will make housebreaking during weimraner training easy.

Train him how to let you know when he want to relieve himself.

This may appear tricky but it is not impossible at all. Teaching him to ring the bell at the door when he needs to go out and eliminate can make life as a dog owner easier.

Avoid bringing him inside at once.

Bringing him back inside right after doing his business will make him think that once the deed is completed, great time outdoors ends thus he'll delay as much as possible. Playing with him after potty will encourage him to complete his business immediately in order to have fun with you.

Give rewards.

Reward your dog each time he urinates or defecates at the location you specified. Through this, he will be able to figure out that he gets good things for doing such behavior thus will repeat the behavior once again. Reward could be treats, time to play or praise.
