Dog Potty Training - Teach Your Dog to Release in the Right Place By Stan Beck
Dog potty training is one of the very first lessons that your puppy has to learn. This will teach your puppy to a sense or discipline by letting it form its pooping habits. Lots of dog owners in advanced cities all over the world are practicing this kind of training as an essential part of dog ownership. But there are still some places, especially in backward areas that do not practice this because they let their dogs stay out of the hose. Dog potty training is therefore ideal for dogs that stay inside the house, to prevent them from dropping poop anywhere inside.There are certain basics that your have to comply when you are about to introduce your puppy to potty training.The TimingThere's a certain timing that you have to wait when you want to potty train your puppy. The time actually starts when you catch your puppy in the act of pooping. When you see your dog poop inside, you have to stop it and take it outside to continue.Dog potty training doesn't actually end in stopping it from relieving and taking it out to continue. A specific word used should be used as a command to tell the dog to stop. This command will leave an impression in the dog's mind which it can associate with the act of stopping and going out to poop. Commands are very important and they play a big part in the dog's behavior, but dogs don't like commands that are given angrily, especially when ordering the puppy to stop pooping, as it might get scared. So when you catch you pet doing it, say clearly "outside" then guide it gently to the designated place where it can continue.The ActMore often than not, you won't be able to catch your puppy in the act of pooping. When this happens, you don't need to scold it or rub its nose on the poop. It won't help each the puppy a lesson. It can't even remember that it owns the poop. You have to wait for a time to catch your puppy actually doing it, so that you can teach it.Scolding the poop in the puppy's presence can also send the puppy a message that its poop is an unwelcome guest.You could also dramatize your disapproval of the dog's indiscriminate pooping by scolding the poop in the puppy's presence instead of shoving its face into its feces, which it couldn't even remember doing with the passing of a few seconds.Dogs do not have the power to remember; they can't recall what they did moments ago. Scolding them for what they did minutes ago won't help it learn.The AccompanimentIf your dog's indiscriminate pooping continues even after you have taught it, there's a big probability that it did not understand you.When you teach your puppy good pooping habits, do it the correct way; guide it patiently out of the house to the designated pooping place where it can release. Using a leash for this may be work better for you and your puppy.The CommandSpoken commands are used as your means of communication with your dog. But you should know that let alone, words are useless if the dog cannot associate them with certain situations. Dogs cannot actually understand anything you say.So when giving the command "out," you should guide the dog to go out so that it can associate the word with the act of going out. Once out, you can introduce the command "go potty" to signal the puppy to release.Again, be consistent with your rules, practice frequently and reward your puppy either with praises or little food treats. This will condition your pet to develop the positive behavior and form the habit without the need for you to command it to poop outside.
