Steps To A Successful Puppy Potty Training Class

By Lisa Clark


A lot of households today keep pets for various reasons. The pet might turn out to be a blessing or not based on how it behaves. If it urinates or poops all over in the house, it will turn out to be a frustration. You do not have to wait until it reaches this extent. Pets like pups can be easily coached on how to use the toilet to avoid messing the house. The following are guidelines to a successful puppy potty training class.

One of the keys for a successful training lesson is introducing the pup to the family and the areas it is supposed to explore. During the first day at the new place, it might be nervous or joyful. It is good you create a relationship with the pet so that it can learn to respect everyone in the house. In addition, show the pup only the areas he or she is allowed to roam. Do not allow the pup in areas that are off limit.

The next step is to have a deeper insight into the pup in terms of behavior and needs. Start by doing some background checks on the breed that you have bought and learn about their behavior. Keeping a close eye on the pup most of the time can help you study its behavior. You can learn clues like sniffing, barking, circling and scratching the floor to know when the pooch needs to poop or pee.

The next key thing is to select a potty zone in your yard. Whenever you find the pooch trying to urinate anywhere else apart from these zones, you should interrupt by making a certain noise. Otherwise, if you see certain signs of needing to relieve itself, take the pup outside to the area that you have set aside. Ensure that the place is easy to clean and close to the house. After some time, the dog will know the smell of urine coming from the spot and know it is its bathroom.

Dogs are very intelligent and can understand specific sounds and commands. To make potty training class a walk in the park, choose specific sounds or commands that you will be using. The commands should be to guide the pup on when and where to pee or defecate. Intelligent pups with recognize these words after a few times of the owner using them.

Additionally, when accidents occur by the dog urinating or defecating inside your home, take action fast. Ammonia contained in the urine is used by dogs to locate their toilet so by failing to clean up fast, you will encourage them to use the house as a bathroom. Apply enzymatic cleaners to remove the ammonia during washing.

Another key thing is keeping the puppy close. Limit the area the dog can explore in the house. When it is close, it will be easy to notice when it needs to go outside and help it. Although the area should be limited, it should be enough for the pup to play. The room should make it easy for the pooch to access outside.

Lastly, when you start the coaching, make sure you do the same thing until the end. If you used a specific door the first time when taking the pooch out, make sure you constantly use it. The potty zone should also not change in addition to commands used. Close observation will make it easy even to come up with a schedule for the puppy.
