Dog house training or dog potty training
requires lots of patience and perseverance
and it is the most fundamental thing a dog
should learn. Dogs that are not properly
house trained may cause you to lose your
temper and in many cases, this is the main
reason why so many dogs were being sent
to shelter homes.
Steps For
Dog House Training / Dog Potty Training
Nature of Dogs. Instinctively,
dogs do not like to soil the area where
they sleep and eat and they will avoid eliminating
in these areas as much as they could. Generally,
a healthy dog is able to control his bladder
and bowel for about 8 hours.
Consistent Feeding. Always
make a habit of feeding your dog consistently
as inconsistent feeding time may result
in inconsistent potty time. It helps you
to determine when your dog needs to go to
the toilet. Take your puppy dog to the appropriate
potty area whenever there’s a need
arises.
Establish A Potty Area For Your
Dog. Whenever your dog needs to
go to the toilet, accompany your dog to
this area until you’re sure that your
dog has developed a strong habit of eliminating
there. Use a dog leash to guide him to the
area.
Patience Is The Key. Give
your dog some time to get used to eliminating
at the defined toilet area. Understand that
house training or potty training a dog does
not happen in a day or two.
Praise and Reward Your Dog.
Praise and reward your dog profusely when
you catch your dog doing it at the right
potty area.
Take Your Dog Out Frequently.
One of the reasons a dog eliminates in his
sleeping area is the dog has been confined
for long periods of time. Take your dog
to the toilet area if he’s been confined
to a crate for some time.
Never Punish Your Dog.
Do not punish your dog whenever you catch
your dog eliminating at the wrong spot.
Quickly clean the area so that your dog
will not do it at the same spot again.
