Assistant: So you have a cute new puppy?  Congratulations!  I’m a fan of using an effective process called clicker training to house train them.


Human: What is the best way to house train a puppy?

Assistant: I believe the best approach for both you and your puppy is to establish a system of positive reinforcement for good behavior, so that your puppy associates house training with good things.  You can ask your puppy to sit, lay down, wait at the door, go to a specific room, etc.  In order to reinforce the behavior you are asking of your puppy, you can offer a reward when the puppy does what you ask.  Rewarding your puppy for positive behavior can really help to create a positive and lasting association between house training and fun!
