Dog Potty Training:
Avoiding Bad Habits

Dog potty training should be started as soon as possible. It’s
best to start the house training process right away before your puppy has a chance to develop the wrong behavioral patterns.

Once incorrect potty habits take hold it will be that much more training time you will have to apply for the correct dog potty training to become established.

When we want to live with a dog, potty training separates the pets from the wild beasts.

No one wants to feel the frustration of your loving pet behaving badly. We all want our pets to behave properly so the time we spend with them will be special.

The main trick in curbing your pup’s wild tendencies is teaching your pet correct behavior with the proper dog potty training.

Here’s the fastest, most effective, and most FUN way to train your puppy or dog.


The Ins And Outs Of Dog Potty Training

Here’s a quick run down of the ins and outs of dog potty training.

You’ll need to make the connection in your puppy’s mind between the urge to answer nature’s call and specific allowable behavior. What’s that mean?

Your puppy needs to be taught that when the urge arises, this is what to do. This is the correct action or response.

Making the connection between a stimulus and desired behavior, is actually the key to all dog training techniques. The advanced training behaviors, as well as dog potty training.

In the case of dog potty training a physical urge is the stimulus. You want your puppy to go to the newspaper when it feels the need to relieve itself. So the correct response in dog potty training is to go to the newspapered area on the floor.

But the stimulus to be obeyed can just as easily be avoice command, a sound command like a whistle or clicker, or even a gestured command.

Many obedience training classes teach that the correct response to the owner raising his or her hand is for the dog to immediately lay down and stay put. Easily visible training commands like this help keep your pooch safe, even outdoors and from a distance.


Hands On Dog Potty Training

To make this connection often requires that you physically move your puppy to the newspaper as the first sign that the call of nature is imminent.

Don’t be shy about reaching down and guiding your little pooch to the paper. It also helps to say the command you plan to use when you want to direct your pup that it’s the right time to go.

Remember, you’re establishing a long term communication system with your canine friend.

Consistent commands from you will help keep the desired action clear in your four legged friend’s mind.

This accompanied by lavish praise and puppy treats will create the proper connection in your puppy’s mind between the paper and the action of relieving itself. Your puppy will grow to feel that it’s a good thing to go on the paper.

Dog potty training mostly involves getting your puppy used to specific, learned actions as the response to specific situations, feelings, or commands. This learning is best accomplished through repetition and rewarding the correct behavior.

Train your dog the same fast, effective, fun way a professional dog trainer uses to train pet stars in film, television, and commercials.
