Dog Potty Training Tips

One of the things you will need to realize is that your puppy will have a smaller bladder than a larger dog. So your canine is going to need to pee more often. Do not get upset when your pup does what just comes naturally.

Define the Area

If you have an inside pup, start by deciding where in the house you want your pet to urinate. Many dog owners like to put down some newspaper to define the area. Canines have a keen sense of smell and learn the routine faster than you think.

Educate For Success

If your canine is an outside dog, you will need to educate the dog on where it needs to go. Some owners find that crate training makes this simpler. By taking your puppy out frequently, you can monitor its action and take it to the designated area.

Provide Adequate Time

If you are walking your dog either in or out of your yard, give your pet time to go. If you use the same route, your dog will likely be marking and sniffing in the same areas.

Use Positive Reinforcement

For successful canine potty training behavior, praise is good. Dogs love to please their owners. They love encouragement and an affectionate pat on the head. My dog particularly likes his ears massaged. You will learn what your dog likes and you should do that to anchor the successful behavior.

Have A Daily Routine

Start with being regular in your feeding and watering habits. If you feed at the same time each day you will soon learn to anticipate the length of time between eating and the need to eliminate.
