Your desire to have your own puppy is to enrich your household through your rewarding experiences with your pet. However, you know that there will be obstacles to this objective. One important wake up call to this situation is when your pet starts to create a mess inside your house and in your daily schedule.
Yet you also perfectly know that the answer to this impending probability is dog training. Having a pet with very good manners and exceptional behavior involves many facets. It also entails varied actions and reactions that your pet will eventually exhibit. Overall, one of the very first things you must aim for your dog is potty training.
Potty training is not as daunting and stressful as you probably perceive it to be. There are even plenty of dog owners who opted to do their dog's training on their own. There could be a number of methods you could utilize for this and most of them are probably as effective as the other. But the basic idea is the same, teaching your willing student the concept of right and wrong.
With potty training, time is of the essence. The longer you delay the training, the higher the probability that your dog has started forming a habit of its own. Always remember that one of the basics of dog training is consistency which leads to the formation of the habit. This is one of the important things that your dog could understand.
The first step in potty training is to designate a spot for this. If possible, the floor must be easy to clean so that you could breeze through with the clean up in cases your pet misses the spot. Put layers of newspaper or cardboard over the designated area. When it is time for your pet to go to the bathroom, guide it on top of the layers of newspapers.
It is also important that you lavish your praise while your pet is at it. Delaying the shower of love for a job that is being well done might not be easily connected by the dog. Then, as you remove the pile of newspaper each time you clean up the mess, get a slightly soiled one and put on top. Your dog could then connect its bathroom requirement with the real function of the layers of paper.
Overtime, slowly decrease the area covered with newspapers. In times when your dog did not manage to hit the mark, slightly increase the coverage again. Then repeat the process of decreasing the covered area until your pet learns to always find the proper spot.
When the covered area is as small as your dog's mess, you can now move on to the next step. It is either to purchase the indoor toilet or it is now time to transfer the bathroom towards the door for the house training step. Your dog could now understand where to go for its bathroom activities.
Remember one general rule about your dog and training; your main goal is to form a habit, a good habit at that. Because of this, it will automatically involve time and endless repetitions to achieve your purpose. But don't be disheartened as the reward of your patience is that you and your pet gets rewarding experiences together, without the unsightly and unwanted mess. - 31851
