subject: Dogs Potty Training - How To House Train A Dog [print this page] Read this information for some dogs potty training recommendations. Not only puppies need potty training. Some grown-up dogs that may have been outside dogs or were never house trained may require some special considerations.
If your dog does have an accident in the home, you will have to get rid of the urine and eliminate the smell otherwise the dog will continue to go back to that location. Try a product that has active enzymes rather than something that will barely mask the odor for a short while.
Follow a regular feeding and drinking schedule for the dog. Leaving food and water out all day long if the dog is not house-trained, is a bad idea. The dog should be on a timed feeding routine until is properly potty trained.
Younger dogs that do not have large enough bladder might have problems in the crate. You can figure that a dog that is two months old may hold their urine for two hours and a three-month-old dog can hold it for three hours and so forth.
In case you are leaving the puppy in the crate for eight hours, use a puppy potty pad since they may be going to have an accident. Though every dog and the dog breed is different.
Dogs left alone for long periods of time could have an accident. Even the best-trained ones. When the dog is on a regular schedule and you miss that potty time, they could have an accident. When you are going to be gone for a long time, you may need to provide a potty pad for the dog.
For the dog left alone, make available toys and keep the television on so the dog will think that someone is home. Most people think this is ridiculous to keep the TV on, but the reality is your dog is going to be so much more at ease. When you are going to be gone at night, you may want also to keep some light on.
The more you make the dog feel comfortable, the more they are going to want to please you and not urinate in the house. Pleasing their owner is their nature however, they could also demonstrate they are distressed and can break the rules.
