Dog Potty Training Tips That Work By Thomas Rye
Training with dog potty training tips will make for a very easy and rewarding indoor house dog experience. Nobody likes to clean up feces or urine from a dog on the carpet or even a marble tile. It's gross and can get quite frustrating after the first few times. This post will discuss how to train your dog to do his or her business outside, where it belongs.For newborn or young puppies, it can be difficult to train them how to go to the bathroom outside. The reason is that these young animals do not have the control over their bladder that older ones have. As a result, they may be more likely to go to the bathroom indoors on "accident". Simply recognize this fact and expect it to take longer than for an older dog. The good thing if you have an older dog is that you can train him or her to fix this problem easily!Using the Crate!One of the easiest and most effective dog potty training tips is to use a crate. What you need is, of course, a crate! What you are going to do is put your buddy in this crate when you are gone for a few hours or as a training tactic. Leave them in there for a few hours and then come back later. Because most won't want to use the bathroom and relieve themselves in such a small confined area, they will hold their bladder or feces until they have more room. Nobody wants to be laying in their own excrete!When you come back, let your doggie out and take him or her outside. They will most likely relieve themselves. When they do, be sure to praise their success. Give them a treat, pat them on the head, do whatever you want. Just make sure they realize what they did was amazing. This will make your dog realize that going bathroom outside is a good thing.Make a CommandWhile your pup goes outside, be sure also to use some type of word command. This will get them to link up the command with using the bathroom. That way next time you say the command they will know what to do.AccidentsDuring the process of using dog potty training tips, I am sure that problems and accidents will happen. Do not fret over these setbacks. It's all part of the process. Absolutely NO punishment! This will instill fear which is the worst thing you want. Simply stop him or her from what they are doing and take them outside right away. Say your command phrase and clean the mess as soon as possible. You don't want the odor lingering as they will smell it and try again.Other Useful TipsOther useful and very helpful tips for this type of training is to minimize the area that you need to watch. At first, close off most of the house so you don't have to be chasing your pup around watching for accidents. Be sure to take him or her outside at the same time every day. It is usually best in the morning, after eating meals, when you get home from work, and at the end of every night before you go to sleep. It should also be done every few hours.It is best to take them outside to use the restroom instead of, for example, on newspapers. This isn't the best option as it is still inside and isn't training your dog to use the bathroom outside.
