Poppy Toilet Training Tips
01 Sep 2009
Poppy toilet training is critically important. Sure it’s difficult but just imagine the results if you don’t take the time to do it! Even if you forego all other kinds of training you can’t avoid this one.
Puppy toilet training is one of the most important trainings in every dog’s life – as well as yours being a dog owner. Having a dog that is not successfully toilet trained means having a poop-scooping and pee-cleaning life.
Best methods
Be certain to pick a specific area outside for them to go in to help them learn what to do when out there. If you just let them roam outside then they will not know what to do, but if you bring them to the same area each and every time they will get the gist.
Another effective puppy toilet training tip is to get a cage to have them do their business in as they will soon come to associate it with their potty area.
Use the same command each time they are out such as “go potty” so that they will associate that command with going. After they do their business you will want to praise them lavishly for going, although you probably don’t want to give them a treat because they might come to expect it every time they go.
Puppy toilet training is not the easiest neither an impossible thing to do. All you need is the right training advice on how to achieve your goals – a reliably trained canine companion.
Just take your dog out at least every one to two hours and you’ll be safe.
Feed your dog at approximately the same time everyday. Feeding on regular schedule will help your dog establish regular potty time.
Praise your puppy
The most important part of the puppy toilet training process is to ensure that the pup is praised, every time that it toilets in the desired area. This is essential. This positive reinforcement will speed up the puppy toilet training process immensely. Always take your pup to that exact spot, always use the same command and always praise the pup when it is toileting there.
Inside or Outside?
If the puppy is allowed inside – contain it by using a dog containment pen, in an area where it can be observed. There are numerous dog pens available at pet stores or on the internet. If possible contain the puppy next to an open door so that he has the option to take himself outside to toilet. If given the choice between indoor and outdoors, a dog will naturally toilet outdoors. By containing the puppy in this manner, the opportunities for it to toilet at will inside the house are all but eradicated.
