Potty training a dog is the process of teaching your dog to relieve himself where you want. If you don’t want to be busy picking up piles and removing dog urine stains from the carpet, you need to potty train your dog. You need to give your dog freedom outside or in your apartment where he can relieve himself naturally and you don’t have to worry about clutter.
In this article, we will discuss different aspects of potty training for an adult dog.
Dog potty training with box
The most effective method of potty training involves using a crate. The dog is an intelligent and clean animal. They prefer to keep the place where they sleep clean.
After the first 2 weeks of training, your dog will learn what is expected of him in terms of hygiene habits. Your dog must go to the crate to rest, use the designated place to go to the bathroom.
What do you need to know to teach a puppy to go potty in a cage?
1. The size of the crate should not be large enough for the dog to sleep on one side and urinate on the other side.
2. The cage should not be too small, so that your puppy feels uncomfortable when entering.
Potty training a dog without a cage
Potty training dogs without a cage is difficult. There will be few cases of accidents initially and you should be ready to clean up the mess without any physical punishment for your dog.
Important tips on dog training
1. You must be in contact with your dog throughout the day.
2. You must recognize the signs that your dog needs to use the bathroom so that you can immediately take him to where you want him to urinate, give the command, and praise his successes. Always use the same command as “go pee” and don’t play with it this time.
Potty training dogs using papers
If you have a small breed dog, you can use toilet training paper. It is useful only if you are staying in a high-rise apartment and cannot take your dog outside to go to the bathroom.
