Product Description:
You finally gave into that adorable puppy or friendly adult dog and now Fido’s a member of the family. You just can’t get enough of those big soulful eyes or his cute little antics…until you step in his not so adorable doggy mess on your new beige carpet. That’s when you know – it’s really time to start housetraining.

So you’ve made the decision to start housetraining Fido but you have no idea how to go about it. Do you yell, do you praise, do you give him the evil eye? Housetraining for Dummies takes all the guesswork out of housetraining your dog and demystifies the entire process. Award-winning author, Susan McCullough, who specializes in dog training and care gives you all the answers to potty training your dog – whether it’s a puppy or an adult – in plain English so you can train Fido faster and save your carpet from those tell-tale stains. You’ll get practical advice about:
  • Your dog’s instincts and learning style
  • The right approach for housetraining your dog
  • Housetraining gear, including crate, collar and leash, and cleanup equipment
  • Indoor training
  • Outdoor training
  • What and how to feed your dog


McCullough shares all of her insider advice as well as her own horror and success stories to make housetraining as easy as possible for you and your pooch. Housetraining for Dummies includes helpful tips, reminders, warnings, and information on:
  • Puppy versus adult housetraining
  • Recognizing your dog’s potty style
  • Training your dog to pee on command
  • Avoidable housetraining mistakes
  • Problem potty-ers and how to help them


You don’t have to keep sending Fido to the doghouse because of those puddles or piles. Housetraining for Dummies makes it easy for you to housetrain him so you can both enjoy the great indoors again.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Lots of information, easy to understand, and fun to read
As a dog trainer, I often suggest people read Housetraining for Dummies before hiring me to do a housetraining consultation. The book covers far more information than I could go over in an hour. If after reading the book, they're still having problems (usually they aren't), I'm happy to set up an appointment.

Gotta say I don't like calling people "dummies" though. It's hard for me to tell a client that they need to read a book for dummies. Seems insulting.

But the book itself ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - fine for puppy owner, not for adult dog owner
This book has some great ideas and I believe that they do work, that is why I gave the book 4 stars. For me, however, it didn't work. I have an adult dog and I felt a lot of the tips were geared more toward puppies and the normal puppy potty training. My dog goes to the bathroom in secret and usually in the early morning hours when I can't see her. Putting her in a crate overnight would probably emotionally damage her not to mention keep our entire family up all night with her crying (she's way too used ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - House Training
Ummm-I think the dog just has to want to do the correct thing. Good ideas in the book but it didn't work for us, but we have 7 dogs.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Housetraining for Dummies
I was pleased with the format of this book, and the simple instructions ands explainations. I bought it to help me train my new puppy, and it was very useful. I'm not exactly a pro at dog training. This book made a big difference.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very informative and well written
This book gives a great deal of very good advice for housetraining your dog in several different ways. I have employed many of the techniques described in this book. My only wish is that more space had been devoted to indoor housetraining for smaller dogs and toy breeds. But, since indoor training is a relatively new concept and this book appears to have been published about five years ago, I can understand why more space was not devoted to the subject. And, admittedly, it is likely a rather small percentage ... Read More
