How to teach your dog how not to urinate or defecate inside the house.

   The best way to teach a dog to do their physiological needs (in other words; urinate and defecate) on the street is; going towards their nature, if we are talking about a dog there is one thing to keep in mind: in most cases a dogs routine is: eat and sleep, sleep and eat (occasionally play a little). After their little naps they will always want to go out for their uncontrollable physiological needs, this also happens after their eating time is finished because it increases gastrointestinal motility which promotes defecation. All this is much easier to understand than to put into practice since the daily life of most people not allow them to properly be "waiting" that the dog will eventually wake up or eat, but we must do everything possible to adapt the needs of this companion.
   Generally the dogs are clean animals; they do not like to soil their home. Even in the street itself they will seek to do so in places away from where they sleep and in most cases the place they choose will not vary. Throughout this process, not only is important to remember that the dog is a living being with needs, which is therefore very important that the dog is provided the conditions to learn and perform this routine of cleanliness – leaving the dog at home closed for several hours is for most young and untrained dogs an invitation to "slip" out of the routine. In the other hand for the older and well-trained dogs it is a physical torture because (until a certain limit) they won’t do their needs inside the house.

    This being said, for the first few days – weeks (depending on the dog) try to meet this routine as much as possible, taking the dog for a walk after each meal or nap, however this routine doesn’t have to be exactly met over a big period of time, however my advice is to do so.
