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.
But you know that there is one very good answer for this, dog training. Teaching your pet impeccable manners and good behavior has many dimensions. It also involves different actions and reactions that you want your dog to acquire. One of your priorities is to potty train your dog.
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.
As your dog slowly learn that this is the only spot for a bathroom, slowly shrink the size of the coverage area. If it misses the mark and messes the uncovered area, expand your newspaper cover again. Repeat with shrinking the spot in a gradual manner until your dog perfects the bathroom concept.
When you come to a point when your pet's mess is only as big as your newspaper layers, it is the proper time to move on with the training. Your next step is to either exchange the pile for an indoor toilet or move the heap towards the door. Your pet then is ready to be house trained as your pet has been successfully potty trained.
The basic rule in dog training is to help your pet form the right habit. Forming a habit requires patience because of the repetitions that it requires. But continue to persevere as this is one of the best ways towards your dream of a rewarding relationship with your pet. - 32167
