House training is the process of teaching a pet, usually a dog, to eliminate waste in appropriate areas, such as outside or in designated indoor spots. This training helps establish good habits and ensures that the pet understands where it is acceptable to go. Consistency, positive reinforcement, and patience are key components of successful house training. The process typically involves taking the pet outside frequently, especially after meals or naps, and rewarding them when they eliminate in the correct place. Using commands and establishing a routine can also aid in the training. Over time, the pet learns to associate specific cues with the desired behavior.
