You will not be with your dog every time you come home and see scattered dog poop all over your place. The sight of poop may be bearable but the awful smell is intolerable. You cannot stand another minute with both seeing and smelling your dog's pee and poop. Tomorrow is another day and you will not sacrifice being faced with an agonizing scene. Therefore, it is best not to delay your dog potty training.
You have two options concerning dog potty training. First, you can consult a veterinarian and seek recommendation if there are dog potty training courses where you can enroll your pet. Secondly, you have the option to personally train your dog.
Self-training your dog to urinate and defecate for many people is a strenuous task. However with a positive attitude on undertaking another responsibility, dog potty training can be an enriching experience. Most pet owners find the dog potty training experience as a time to bond with their pets and a time to discover the wonders their pet brings into their lives.
Take things slow. Train your dog one step at a time.
Establish a mode of communication.
You need to communicate with your pet dog. The mode of communication may be in the form of hand gesture or sound signals. Sound signals may come from your mouth or from sound-making instruments such as whistles or horns.
It is important that as you practice physical communication, you also verbally convey with your dog. For instance, when you hand-direct him to walk right into his “poop area,” you tell him what you want him to do. The tone of your voice is significant. It is recommended that you always use a friendly tone of voice so that your dog will most likely obey you. Do not shout at your dog if he makes mistakes.
Getting familiar with the expressions and gestures of your dog is a vital factor in potty training since you can easily discern what he wants to tell you.
Set up your dog’s “poop area.”
Figure out which area in your vicinity would be most convenient for you and your dog to arrange for his “poop area.” After establishing an area for pooping, bring your dog into the area.
Do not simply show it, you need to tell him what the area is for. To let your dog track his spot area on his own, you should make a track line for him to get there. Another option which many pet owners suggest is to place some feces material in the spot area for your dog to smell it and be near it.
Create a pattern.
Do the same thing everyday for a series of days. For instance, in the first hour in the morning as he wakes up, show him the spot area. Studies show that dogs are likely to poop in the morning right after getting out of bed. In addition with this, studies also reveal that after eating dogs are probable to poop. Hence, after every meal, bring your dog in the spot area.
By creating a pattern, your dog will most likely know where his spot area is. Additionally, he would know what his daily routine should be.
Your days or sometimes weeks of dog potty training will pay off. It is a task where determination and patience is needed.
