A house training device for use in teaching a pet to urinate or defecate in a designated location. The house training device includes a pad on which the pet can urinate and defecate and a treat dispenser operably connected to the pad via a control circuit. A disposable sheet can be positioned on the upper surface of the pad in order to absorb urine and hold any fecal matter, and the pad includes a sensor therein that detects if the pet has relieved itself on the pad. The control circuit is configured to cause the treat dispenser to automatically dispense an edible treat for the pet if the sensor determines that the pet has relieved itself on the pad.
