Segment 1 – House Breaking the Puppy and the Adult Dog
Half the battle of house breaking is not giving them the chance to go in the house!
- Monitor them when you are inside, always keep them in your sight
- Keep them on a leash when you are busy, if you must
- Animated praise when your dog goes to the bathroom outside
IMPORTANT: only correct your dog when you catch them in the act of going to the bathroom inside the house.
“The average adult dog forgets their own actions two minutes after they do them.” – Steven Ritt

Segment 2 – House Breaking Continued
“The loudest correction should be in the beginning of training.” – Steven Ritt
The Doggie Director was inspired to become an animal trainer at a young age since his family owned exotic pets growing up.
Ritt pursued his childhood dream after leaving his hometown in Minnesota and attending the Greater Phoenix Dog Training Academy at age 17.
His journey with Hollywood animal actors began shortly after graduating.
Ritt developed the “Ritt Way,” a successful strategic plan to training pets with love, respect and positive reinforcement, proving that a humane and psychological approach is more effective in getting along with animals.
