Potty Training Your Dog
Start out dog toilet
training you need to give him a place of his own ..
Since you cannot know when and where your dog
is going to do the toilet, so that dog toilet training
is necessary. Dogs need to learn to “hold it”
and go where he is supposed to as they don’t
know any different. In the wild dogs
can go when and where they please, but this is not
the wild and they need to be taught the difference.
Dog toilet training can be something of a difficult
task. Every day needs to be the same and you need
to give him constant

attention when you can; this will make the toilet training
procedure a lot easier. Your training process will take
longer if you are working out of the house quite often as
your dog will need to go and the house is the only place
that he can.
When you start out dog
toilet training you need to give him a place of his own,
maybe a corner of your back room. That should be where you
put his food and his bed and his toys and cover the whole
floor in newspaper. When you leave the house make sure he
is in that room and can't get out.
When you are gone he will obviously need the toilet and
will go where he is standing, but over time he will pick
a place and start to do his business in the one place, when
he starts to do that you can then start to remove the paper
from the area furthest away from his chosen spot. Gradually
continue this until it is only a small space available for
him to go, if he misses the paper then you are moving a
little bit too fast and need to go back a step or two until
you get to as little papers as possible. When he gets older
he will be able to control his bladder movements a lot easier.
When you are at home spend as much time with your dog as
possible. Dog toilet training will be much easier if you
do. Every 45 minutes or so take your dog outside and whenever
he does the toilet outside make sure he is praised very
happily and excitedly with lots of enthusiasm, and do this
everytime that he “goes” outside. He will realise
that this is where he needs to go to the toilet and when
he can control his bladder a little better he will wait
until you come to let him out. It does take a lot of time
and patience though.
Never scold your dog for doing the toilet in the house
as he does not know any better. We did the toilet in our
nappies until we were potty trained because there was nothing
else we could do about it, when we needed we went, well
dogs
are the same. No dog
is properly toilet trained until he is about 6 months old
so it is a lengthy procedure but a great one when the end
results start to show!
