How To Take Your Dog Through A Puppy Potty Training Class

By Amanda Ellis


Once you buy a dog, it is wise to train it as soon as possible. This will sharpen the pup and make it respond to commands quicker. When you bring the dog to your home, the first thing is introducing it to its new home and family members. This is the perfect time to create a stable relationship with the dog. However, for the pup to learn, respect and trust you, it is wise to establish some expectations and being consistent with everything. Also, this is the ideal time to start a puppy potty training class to help it learn and respond to all commands accordingly.

Nonetheless, it is paramount to understand your pet before taming it. Hence, before you start the lessons, ensure that you know everything about that breed. Different breeds tend to have specific distinct behaviors. Search on the web and learn about any particular character that your pet may be having. Also, find out about how the body if the pet works so that it becomes easier to train it. Some breeds have tolerant bladders; thus, it can take longer than others. Knowing such things will greatly help you while taming the pup.

Keep a watchful eye on the pup when you want to train it. Always be keen on behavior changes so that you can understand the signs. For instance, some dogs will start circling, barking and even sniffing when they want to defecate or pee. Watch out for such signs and take the pups outside immediately then command them accordingly.

Selecting a defecating spot is very essential. Thus, ensure you have selected a specific place in your compound for the pup to pee and poop. Take it there every time it needs to pee. The area you choose must be somewhat secluded and away from other pets. The dog will have a memory due to the smell of its urine. It will then relate the area to its peeing spot.

Choose a particular command for the pup whenever you take it to pee or poop. The dog will start to recognize that command and associate it with what you want it to do. Always use that command when you want them to defecate to avoid confusion.

Praising and rewarding the pet when it does it right will make it feel appreciated. This will make it want to do the right thing again and again so that it can be praised and rewarded. When praising the dog, use a cheerful or happy voice and reward it after it has used the spot appropriately.

In case of accidents inside the house, it is essential to clean them right away. Clean that area as thoroughly as possible. This will get rid of the smell. Since dogs tend to remember the smell of urine, failure to clean appropriately will make it go to that place again and again. This can then become a habit that will be very difficult to break.

You must always be ready and willing to tame your pup because it is for your own good. If you fail to potty-train it in time, it will make your home stink as it will be defecating inside the house. Thus, take time to train the pet and use clear and specific commands at all times.
