Dog Toilet Training - get into a routine

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007 Subscribe To Our Feed

Whatever age your dog is when you get him, you can teach him proper toilet training as long as you can get into a routine.

Take a puppy outside every couple of hours, then praise him to the skies when he does the right thing. Your puppy wants to please you, and he’ll soon understand exactly what you want.

Since puppies sleep a lot, take him outside as soon as he wakes up too.

It is thus important to feed your pup with enough good food without over indulging it with too many treats in between meals. Having decided to feed your dog with only healthy foods, you will then need to ensure that it is given a regular routine when feeding it. This will ensure that the dog has regular bowel movements. In fact about half an hour after it has eaten, the dog may show signs of wanting to go outside.

You should indicate to the dog a spot that it should use. Dog toilet training also involves taking the dog on a leash to a specific spot each time so that it gets the idea where to eliminate, and you should also remember to praise the dog when it does so. Pretty soon, it will get the idea and use the spot for its toilet area.

Crate training

Crate training your pup is also an option, it’s useful when you need to leave the pup for a time, and don’t want him roaming all over the house. Put a couple of his favorite toys into the crate with him, then let him out to go to the toilet as soon as you get home.
