Dog Toilet Training
William R. Nabaza of http://www.Nabaza.com/pets.htm
Unless you have a sixth sense you can't predict when and where
your dog is going to do the toilet, that is why dog toilet
training is necessary. Dogs need to learn to "hold it" and go
where he is supposed to as they don't know any different. In the
wild dogs can go when and where they please, but this is not the
wild and they need to be taught the difference.
Dog toilet training can be something of a difficult task. Every
day needs to be the same and you need to give him constant
attention when you can; this will make the toilet training
procedure a lot easier. Your training process will take longer
if you are working out of the house quite often as your dog will
need to go and the house is the only place that he can.
When you start out dog toilet training you need to give him a
place of his own, maybe a corner of your back room. That should
be where you put his food and his bed and his toys and cover the
whole floor in newspaper. When you leave the house make sure he
is in that room and can't get out.
When you are gone he will obviously need the toilet and will go
where he is standing, but over time he will pick a place and
start to do his business in the one place, when he starts to do
that you can then start to remove the paper from the area
furthest away from his chosen spot. Gradually continue this
until it is only a small space available for him to go, if he
misses the paper then you are moving a little bit too fast and
need to go back a step or two until you get to as little papers
as possible. When he gets older he will be able to control his
bladder movements a lot easier.
When you are at home spend as much time with your dog as
possible. Dog toilet training will be much easier if you do.
Every 45 minutes or so take your dog outside and whenever he
does the toilet outside make sure he is praised very happily and
excitedly with lots of enthusiasm, and do this everytime that he
"goes" outside. He will realise that this is where he needs to
go to the toilet and when he can control his bladder a little
better he will wait until you come to let him out. It does take
a lot of time and patience though.
Never scold your dog for doing the toilet in the house as he
does not know any better. We did the toilet in our nappies until
we were potty trained because there was nothing else we could do
about it, when we needed we went, well dogs are the same. No dog
is properly toilet trained until he is about 6 months old so it
is a lengthy procedure but a great one when the end results
start to show!
