There are different types of problems involved in house training your dogs. The most important step is identifying the dog's real problem.

Dog potty training is very beneficial. The dogs are taught to eliminate body wastes in a proper place and prevent them from going anywhere else. There are two most common problems related with potty training: Dogs eliminating inside the house and submissive eliminating.
Dogs that choose to potty or urinate inside the house can be corrected by putting the dogs outside for a longer duration of time until it eliminates. However, this type of dogs usually eliminates in places where owners would not able to see them.
Problem like this is sometimes caused by purposely bringing the dog on the area and punishing him after making the mess. In this case, the life of your dog needs a little bit of structuring and utmost discipline from you as the owner. Dogs should be taught not to fear you instead to trust you.
After getting your dog's trust, teach him to learn how to eliminate on command.

You should never commit any mistake because it could worsen housebreaking problems even more.
Another house training problem which is not really associated with housebreaking problems but is considered as a more socially and temperamental problem is the dog's submissive urinating.
This happens when your dog urinates if he gets excited like greeting people for example, or he sees that you are upset with him. It is advisable not to punish your dog for his accidents. Punishing your dog for such behavior will not solve the problem.
There is a better way in helping your dog to overcome submissive urinating. You should be able to establish good communication with your dog. It includes not indulging yourself with emotional greetings, never making any eye contact during greeting until you have trained your dog with making an eye contact, and preventing dominant posturing.
Building a strong trust and bond with your dog is also very important. In order to build confidence and trust, touching exercises could be done. This is very beneficial for dogs displaying such problem.
Moreover, choosing an obedience training program that is well balanced could also help. It could help you rightfully practice the four essential elements of a successful potty training: confinement, training, timing, and praise.

The only frustrating part is the language barrier making it difficult for you to communicate with your dog, as well as to let him understand what you are implying.
