Dog Toilet Training Made Easy

Who wouldn't love an adorable and cute little puppy? Puppies are great pets but sometimes, they can be a great problem especially if they are constantly making a mess inside your house. If you think there's no solution to your problem, them you're quite wrong. Teaching old dogs new tricks will not prove to be successful, but if you potty train your puppy at a very early age, you can benefit from it over the long term.

So how will you toilet train your dog? Potty training is not as hard as it sounds. All you have to do is to familiarize yourself with the different things that you have to do while training your pup.

One way is to teach your puppy a specific command or word. When you're teaching your pup to urinate or poop, use the specific words or phrase over and over again. You can say 'go potty' or perhaps, 'go poop'. Choose a word or group of words that's easy for you to say. If the puppy becomes familiar with the words, it would come as a familiar command to your pup and he will gladly obey.

Try to have one spot where your puppy can urinate or poop. Perhaps you've already observed that your puppy does his thing on the exact spot inside the house so choose a place outside where you will take him every time he needs to urinate or poop. Dogs easily recognize their smell so if you take the puppy out every time he needs to 'go', he can locate his smell and will go there every time.

Now, what if your puppy accidentally messes inside the house? Clean the area where your puppy peed or pooped and make sure that there will be no trace of the smell. You can punish your puppy lightly and don't be harsh with him.

Don't leave your puppy outside at night time. Confine your pup inside a crate or inside a box. The place should just be the right size for your pup to sleep on and early in the morning, take your puppy outside and command him to pee or poop. At first, there would always be accidents but after some time, your pup will learn to do it the right way.

When you're toilet training your dog, you need to give him a lot of attention. You have to keep a close watch of your pup and take note of the warning signs when he's about to 'go'. So every time you see the sign, take your puppy outside. If you're a patient trainer, you can also teach your pup to head for the door when he's going to pee or poop.

Puppies usually take naps during the day. After your pup wakes up, take him outside to do his or her thing and after that, you can bring your puppy inside and play with him.

Make sure that you don't give too much water to your dog especially if it's nearly bedtime. This is a very good step to take if you live in a cold area. It is not that advisable in hot areas because your puppy can get dehydrated and in this case, pet owners need to leave water beside their dogs.

If your puppy obeys you command, make him feel that you're happy. Give your dog some kind of reward like dog treats. Recognize your pup's efforts to obey your commands and after some time, your puppy can do these things on his own.
