Potty Training Dog
William R. Nabaza of http://www.Nabaza.com/pets.htm
As much as we would love dogs to use potties that isn't what
this article is about. I'm talking about house training, making
sure that they know to go outside when it is time to do their
business. Potty training your dog is a lengthy procedure but at
the end you'll know it's worth it.
The simplest method for potty training a dog is the newspaper
method. Many owners have the problem where dogs excuse
themselves in the house, because they don't know any different,
you can make them sit outside for hours but they will wait until
they come inside the house to do their business, and most of the
time they will do it where you can't see them. This happens
because while trying to potty train their dog many owners punish
them after they have done the toilet in the house. But that is
no good, they need to be caught in the act, but you don't need
to rub your dog's nose in it like many suggest! The dog needs to
learn to trust you not fear you or it will never learn.
The first obstacle in potty training dogs is to teach the dog
how to go on command, you can do this inside the house then work
your way up to teaching him to do it outside. Pick a certain
area inside the house, maybe at the back door or something
likewise, place a lot of newspaper around the area and every
hour or so take him there and tell him to do the toilet, or
whatever you want the command to be. Sooner or later he will do
the toilet, but you have to keep a close eye on him around the
house so you can see if he is going to do the toilet or not.
When you see him go to do the toilet, take him to the paper and
tell him your command, then praise him for doing it on the
paper, this type of potty training needs a very vigilant
handler. When he learns to go on command try to take him outside
instead of the paper, that way he will soon learn that he has to
go outside.
There are other problems that potty training your dog can help
with, submissive urinating can be quite a large problem. Often
when your dog meets someone knew that he likes or someone he
knows, or even another dog he can get very excited and in turn
he wets himself. This isn't good for the person he is doing the
toilet on and is very embarrassing for you. Potty training your
dog will help to only release on command.
With a lot of hard spent time and vigilance you can teach your
dog anything, potty training is just a step towards another
accomplishment in your dog's life, when he does do the toilet
outside and not in the house make sure he receives lots of
treats and praise, the more he knows it pleases you the more he
is likely to do it!
