Potty Training A Dog: How Important Is It ?
Susan Dean
Potty training a dog is extremely important if you intend on
having your dog or dogs inside your home. Even if you only have
your dog inside for a short amount of time he or she must be
trained not to leave a mess.
The best time to start this training is when you first bring
your puppy home. It is very important to start straight away so
your pup doesn't get confused with what is right and what is
wrong. Puppies and adult dogs can be very stubborn so you must
show them who is the boss and what is expected of them.
Once you have succeeded in potty training a dog then you will
soon notice the benefits. You will be able to leave your dog or
dogs unattended and know that when you return to your home it
will not be soiled. Of course there will sometimes be accidents
but that may be because you were away for longer than usual or
perhaps your pup may be sick.
You can find out how to potty train a dog by talking to your vet
or breeder or by reading books. You will also find plenty of
information on the net. There are those web sites that can help
you by giving out free tips on the subject. No matter how you
get your information on this subject the important thing is to
be precise and be consistent at all times.
Your dog looks to you for guidance and always wants your
reassurance that he or she has done a good job. Never use force
or physical abuse on your pet. Your pup will react to firm
instructions when accompanied by loving rewards afterwards. This
job is not always going to be easy and you will need lots of
patience, as you must remember it is like training a baby.
Take the time to ask lots of questions from people who have done
this before and get your hands on a good training book so you
have it on hand all the time. This way you can always refer back
to it to make sure you are doing everything right.
