Potty Training Your Pet Dog

November 18, 2007 |


 

While we adore our pet dog so much, so we also wish we can maintain clean surroundings and fresh-smelling homes. But oftentimes, especially if we have a new pet dog taken in, we would have to worry about cleaning after our dogs with their poop as well as pee. Until you feel that you had enough, and decided that you will take on the task of giving it some potty training yourself to provide solution to the problem.

But how does one go about potty training his pet dog? Believe it or not, it can be a rather easy task – albeit you would mainly have to need more perseverance and dedication. Of course, you would also have to commit yourself to giving potting training one hundred percent; otherwise all your efforts will go for naught. Remember, your dog will likely need a lot of time learning where the appropriate place in for it to defecate and urinate, so be patient for any non-reaction or negative responses from your dog during its training.

An effective way of potty training is by praising your dog whenever he uses the designated poop and pee place. You can give it a rub on the side or even just a pat. Hopefully, he would show consistency in his potty actions. And if there is a lapse or mistake, try to be more forgiving and tolerant. Never scold your dog as it will have a negative effect on the success of your training.

Another way is by walking your pet dog in the morning. This is the best time for your dog to poop and pee. Of course, allow him to do its thing on designated place. Be careful not to let it mess with other people’s backyard. And remember to bring doggie bag to clean up the mess. Again, praise is a good thing to give if your dog acts accordingly – such nice words and pats can definitely spell success in your desire to potty train your dog.

Potty training can be a long, continuous and repetitive process – it will take time until your dog understands and does the right thing when wanting to eliminate its wastes. Be patient – and surely enough you will reap the fruits of your efforts, one of which is having a fresh-smelling and mess-free home.
