Dog Toilet Training

Tips

Unless you have a sixth sense you can't predict when

and where your dog is going to do the toilet, that is

why dog toilet training is necessary. Dogs need to

learn to “hold it” and go where he is supposed to as

they don’t know any different. In the wild dogs can

go when and where they please, but this is not the

wild and they need to be taught the difference.

Dog toilet training can be something of a difficult

task. Every day needs to be the same and you need

to give him constant attention when you can; this

will make the toilet training procedure a lot easier.

Your training process will take longer if you are

working out of the house quite often as your dog will

need to go and the house is the only place that he

can.

When you start out dog toilet training you need to

give him a place of his own, maybe a corner of your

back room. That should be where you put his food

and his bed and his toys and cover the whole floor in

newspaper. When you leave the house make sure he

is in that room and can't get out.

When you are gone he will obviously need the toilet

and will go where he is standing, but over time he

will pick a place and start to do his business in the

one place, when he starts to do that you can then

start to remove the paper from the area furthest

away from his chosen spot. Gradually continue this

until it is only a small space available for him to go, if

he misses the paper then you are moving a little bit

too fast and need to go back a step or two until you

get to as little papers as possible. When he gets

older he will be able to control his bladder

movements a lot easier.

When you are at home spend as much time with your

dog as possible. Dog toilet training will be much

easier if you do. Every 45 minutes or so take

your dog outside and whenever he does the toilet

outside make sure he is praised very happily and

excitedly with lots of enthusiasm, and do this

everytime that he “goes” outside. He will realise

that this is where he needs to go to the toilet and

when he can control his bladder a little better he will

wait until you come to let him out. It does take a lot

of time and patience though.

Never scold your dog for doing the toilet in the

house as he does not know any better. We did the

toilet in our nappies until we were potty trained

because there was nothing else we could do about it,

when we needed we went, well dogs are the same.

No dog is properly toilet trained until he is about 6

months old so it is a lengthy procedure but a great

one when the end results start to show!
