How To
The best way to teach a dog where he should go to urinate
It's important to show your pet how to properly use the toilet. It's also important to know how to train them if they start going outside without you. Here are some tips to help you teach your dog how to use the bathroom properly.
-
Training should be started early. Start training now if you don't want to have any accidents in playtime.
-
Food rewards are a good idea. If you reward your pet after every successful trip, it will bring you better luck.
-
Keep treats away from the area where your pooch pees. He could associate urine with the scent of his favorite treat.
-
Before you allow your dog outside, make sure that no other animal is nearby. Dogs who see their owners relieve themselves may believe it is normal.
-
Be patient. It might take your puppy a little longer to learn than an adult.
-
Before you allow your dog to use the bathroom, be sure she has a good sniff of everything. She will be more successful if she is able to smell the toilet before entering.
-
When you are doing business, your dog should not be allowed to sit next to the toilet. That could lead to confusion.
-
Wipe down the toilet seat and floor after you're done. These areas will be a reminder of what you should do in the future.
-
Make sure to clean up all messes as soon as possible. Clean up after your dog has an accident. The dog might attempt to vomit again if it isn't cleaned up quickly.
