We all know that you do not actually use a potty when you are potty training puppies. Once you understand that you dog will not make use of a potty or a toilet, you can learn about how and where to train them to do their business.
One thing you have to understand is that there are many different breeds and types of dogs. Understanding that some dogs learn how to potty train quicker than other dogs will make the whole process run smoother. This is why it is recommended that you do your research before you go out to buy a pup. Make sure that you are able to handle a certain breed of dog, and that you have the patience to train the dog.
There is one very important thing you want to keep in mind before you get started with the training process. You should not get upset with your dog. They are a bit like children, in that they always want to play, eat and get a lot of attention. So, if he does not get it right the first time around, be calm and try again later.
Firstly – A good schedule is very important in the training process. And this does not just pertain to the potty training process. You want your dog to become a part of your routine, and to pick up the routine quickly. If you wake up at a certain time in the morning, keep it to that time. The same goes for sleeping time, and eating time. Soon the dog will have your routine down perfectly, and will wake you up if you oversleep.
Secondly – Accidents happen, so it is better if you keep your dog in a place where he cannot do too much damage to carpets or rugs. The best place for a dog in the training process is always in a tiled room.
Thirdly – Make sure that there is a designated area for the dog to do its business. Initially you will have to be there to make sure that this area is used. The best way is to keep the dog on a leash, and for you to lead the dog to that area.
Lastly – The dog will be a bit uncomfortable at first, but it will happen. He will need some time to get used to the spot, and get used to your standing there with him as he does his business. This is a good training method, because he will then be comfortable doing his business in a park. Just make sure you take a poop-scoop with you.
Do not forget – Do not play with your pup when he has not made a bowel movement or urinated after waking you up or moaning for no reason. Also, do not get upset. Take the dog back in and keep encouraging him to do his business. Give it a time out in a \”time out\” area, or his sleeping area.
