Dog Potty Training
By Michael Willmore
Potty training for your dog! Well that’s something you better take care of, or you’re going to regret it forever. If you have given a proper training to your dog, you can trust him to defecate or urinate only in the place you have selected for him. It could appear a little tough in the beginning and certainly frustrating when you’re starting out, but patience will get the job done for you. Here are some tips on how you could go about the job.

Your dog’s an animal

Remember that all said and done, your is an animal and that he’s going to follow his animal instincts unless he’s taught otherwise.

Use a mixture of rewards and punishments by all means, but let the rules of the game be clear. Also use punishments sparingly. It would help you retain the value of the punishment, which will be lost if it is too frequent. This is true not only for potty training but training your in general.

If you are feeding him with food that generates a high amount of waste you are obviously asking for trouble because then your dog’s going to have to defecate more often to get rid of the higher levels of waste. What constitutes a high waste food? Foods rich in sugar or fiber content are generally low on nutrition and generate higher wastes. You should consult your vet on the diet that would be most appropriate for your and then follow his advice.

Schedule

Habits are formed through a process of repetition. If you follow a strict schedule for feeding your and allowing him to relieve himself, you are inculcating a habit. Take your out first thing in the morning and feed him only after he has finished his “bathroom” duties.

Recognition

Dogs crave for recognition. You need to praise good behavior just as you need to reprimand bad behavior at times. You can show your recognition through your tone, repetition
