Published by Guest Author at 2:33 pm under 469

Dog owners must begin very early on with Puppy potty training. As soon as the puppy starts to move around comfortably, you should immediately start training your pet as the alternative of constantly cleaning the carpet of puppy “messes” can be quite frustrating for most of us.

Puppy potty training can be done effectively while it can also be tricky when essential steps are not followed exactly. Puppies are just like ordinary babies and they do not know the proper manners for as long as you do not show them the right way to do it.

There are several tried and tested techniques that you can follow when doing puppy potty training for our puppies.

1.Start with Crate Training – You can utilize the cage for easier training. If you are not able to closely watch your pet while doing the training, using the crate would be the most practical thing to do. The crate is seen by the puppy as his den, and dogs have the normal response of not soiling the place where they snooze. Be consistent throughout the training. Use one command in sending your pet into the crate. Don’t forget to give reward to reinforce good response from your pet. Don’t forget to let your puppy to spend sufficient time outside of the crate to complete the puppy potty training.

2.Assign a Potty Place – Be consistent throughout the training of your dog. This means that you bring your dog on the same spot outside each time. Only spend a certain amount of time before going back inside. You can allow some playtime as soon as your puppy has gone potty.

3.Reward Your Pet for Every Success He Makes – Potty training is basically inducing the behavior you wish to see in the future by reinforcement. Whenever you give your pet a reward for his proper behavior and response, he would start to associate potty training to good things thus reinforcing that proper dog behavior. Once your pet dog is happy, means that he is learning fast.

4.Utilize a Leash – The leash is an essential part of the puppy potty training. It is important that you watch your dog closely while doing the potty training. You can attach the leash to your waist so that you have the puppy near you at all times.

5.Sustained Practice – Following the oft repeated adage – “Practice makes perfect”, you gain success in the potty training of your puppy when your do regular and sustained practice. You should regularly and without fail follow your dog outside right after every feeding and every times he gets out of the crate.

6.Don’t Use Paper – Using paper material during potty training will only reinforce the behavior as it is impressed upon your pet that it is OK to potty inside the house.

7.Anticipate Possible Accidents – Accidents are going to occur while doing puppy training. It is important that you are prepared for them. You should be able to prepare by having some important puppy cleaning tools ready for any eventualities. For Example, paper towels, enzymatic cleaners and odor neutralizers.
