For both an indoor and an outdoor dog potty, do you know about these potty training dogs tips? You soon will once you've read this article.
Follow these simple tips to make it easier to housebreak your dog.
#1. It's easier to house train an adult dog compared with a puppy. It will respond better to commands. It will have a fully developed set muscles for bladder control. And it can go much longer before it has to eliminate.
#2. If you have just recently acquired your dog, if possible, try and obtain the dog's house training and behavior history from the previous owner. This can make a big difference in how to proceed.
#3. If you are going to potty train your dog to eliminate indoors, make sure you choose a suitable potty. There are many dog potty's on the market that are nothing more than a tray. You really want one with a splash back and a post for the dog to aim at.
#4. If you use old newspaper to absorb the dogs urine, then insert a single soiled sheet of newspaper into the fresh stack of newspapers when you are cleaning up the potty. The odor from this will encourage the dog to use the potty again.
#5. Until your dog is potty trained, restrict his access to a room with an easy to clean floor.
#6. Dogs don't like to toilet in an area where they eat and play. So if your dog has an accident, thoroughly clean and deodorize the location, then feed and play with him there.
#7. Your dog needs a positive reason to use a potty. So encourage him with praise when he uses the potty correctly.
