Any good ideas on pet training

Dogs live in the moment so you need to catch them in the act in order to correct them. We used a crate with our puppy. She slept in it every night. I took her out when she woke up, after she ate, and after playtime. I generally had her outside every two hours when she was real little. As she got older, the time inbetween was a bit longer. Keep an eye on the pup as they will let you know when they need to go. I never hit my pup, as it send the wrong message. If she has a poo in the house, pick the poo up and take it outside to the area you want her to relieve herself in. She needs to know what her bounderies are.
