<bot>: The best methods of house training a puppy include utilizing consistent positive reinforcement, using a crate to give the puppy a safe and secure place to retreat to, providing the puppy with regular potty breaks, and always giving the puppy praise and rewards when they successfully eliminate in the designated area. Additionally, it is important to clean up any messes the puppy has made to avoid any inadvertent reinforcement of undesirable behavior.
