5 Easy Tips For A Quick Puppy Potty Training
Puppy potty training is the basis for any puppy training. Given its importance, this is likely the first thing you will teach your dog. If you do it properly you are creating a great atmosphere of understanding which can later on be used for everything else.
Why is puppy potty training so important?
This kind of a training is performed at a very young age. It teaches dog to obey. It also shows it who the master is which will be important later on. For example, this might be a problem in bigger families as people switch when it comes to taking the dog out. Ultimately, dog listens to everyone and no one.
In a perfect situation, it will be a one-on-one training.
With this brief guide I will teach you how to quickly potty train your puppy.
Things to know
Things will become really messy before you know it. Best thing you can do in such a situation is to accept them as they are. In the end, what are you going to do with a little animal that doesn’t even understand its surroundings?
Patience and love are the key when it comes to puppy potty training.
On top of that, you also need to be consistent.
As I already mentioned, it is much better for a dog to think that it has only one master. Mixed messages can be really confusing even though dog will get used to them later on. But, for the first time, it is best if it’s just you and it.
You shouldn’t skip your routine no matter what. Both you and the dog have to get used to it. Otherwise, it will be all for naught.
Lastly, it is necessary to be said that forceful behavior won’t amount to anything. You should never punish your dog verbally or otherwise for peeing on a carpet. This can make dog fearful and lead to a development of some nasty features. Instead you need to focus on positives; whenever dog does a good job, make sure it knows that.
Quick and actionable tips
Now that you have the basics, it’s time to address everything separately.
These fast tips will teach you how to behave in various situations:
# Dog’s size will affect the number of times it needs to relieve itself. Logically, big dogs will need to go out fewer times while smaller will have to go all the time outside up to 6 or 7 times. If you have a limited time on your hands, this might affect the breed you wish to purchase.
# In case of smaller dogs you can create a box for them. What does this serve? Each time dog needs to pee or poo, just put it in the box. Puppy sees the box as its own home and will be reluctant to pee inside. This will give you several more minutes before you decide to go outside.
# Every dog must go outside early in the morning, after meals and before going to sleep. They have similar organism as ours when it comes to relieving themselves.
# When puppy needs to go out urgently, it will start barking and scraping at the doors. Make sure that doesn’t happen as puppies tend to start peeing when they reach their limit. They can’t hold it in so you need to anticipate their needs and go outside before it becomes urgent.
# Lead dog to the same place over and over again. They have strong sense of smell and will learn how to relieve themselves in the same area. By providing the same smell (and surface) you are teaching them to always pee and poo outside.
