Dog Potty Crate

is it okay to put the puppy mats in the crate with my dog and have her train to use the potty on them ?

I use the puppy training pads and they are supposed to have this certain smell so your dog can use it to go potty but i put it in her crate and try to get her to use it when she comes out to potty but it seems she uses it in her crate more she will walk inside her crate if its open sometimes and use the bathroom am i confusing her?

Here's the thing, you can't do CRATE training and PUPPY PAD training, you have to pick ONE.

The point of crate training is to make the crate the dog's safe haven (the canine equivalent of a bedroom; would you want to be forced to urinate and defecate in YOUR bed?) and teach her NEVER to use it as a toilet so that while she's in the crate she won't go to the washroom and when you take her out of the crate you immediately take her outside and show her that outside IS her toilet. (the dog shouldn't be out of your sight until she is house trained, so she is either in the crate or tethered to you.)

I personally prefer the crate, because training (provided it's done properly) is quick and efficient and very easy for the dog to understand.

The point of puppy pad training is teaching a dog to first use puppy pads inside the house (they should always be in the same place, and should be in a neutral part of the house) and then move the pads outside of the house and then slowly take away the pad all together. (Personally I think this method is really useless because it is teaching the dog that it is ok to use the house as a toilet)

So yes your are supremely confusing your dog and are completely holding up her house training.

Pick ONE method, study up on it and go back to basics with your dog.

Good Luck

Dog Potty Training

Dog Potty Training is not the same with potty training our kids like having them sit on a potty. Rather it's training our dogs to where they should pee or poop. In most cases, the dog potty training area would be outside your house where we allow some odor.

Here is some useful information before we do a dog potty training.

When do we bring our dogs outside? How do we know if it's time to take them out and do a dog potty training on him?

Right after he eats

Right after he wakes up

Right after taking him out of his crate

Right before he sleeps

When you observe them that they are looking around

Take the dog out right after you feed him or after you've given him a drink.

Do not punish the dog when he does pee or poop on your expensive furniture instead quietly clean up his mess and ignore him

To have an effective dog potty training clean the area thoroughly so that it won't leave any trace or odor and its unlikely for him to unload on that spot again.

Check out what your dog is eating. Don't give him high sugar foods which will give your dog low nutrition and low digestibility which would turn to high volume of waste.

Don't give him treats before his naptime or when you're going to leave him for a long period of time.

Dogs need to pee or poop 15-20 minutes after they eat

To be effective in the dog potty training do not take your dog inside right away right after he unloads. He will be having an impression that that once they're done "the fun of being outside" would be cut abruptly. So stay with him and take him for a walk.

Now, how to do a dog potty training. Puppies are easier to do a dog puppy training rather than older dogs. The right age to do a dog potty training is when they are still 6 months old. This is the time when they are like input-output machines. This is the age where most dog trainers teach dogs about skills and tricks.

The most popular method is the newspaper dog potty training.

Confine the puppy to a small room filled with newspaper, I mean place the sheets of paper on the floor. Put his toys, bed, food and water bowls on it At first the puppy will pee and poop everywhere in that newspaper filled room. Worse is that he's gonna play with the paper or chew with it. This is alright as long as you clean up his mess and change it with new sets of newspaper.

While he is restricted to that small area he will have a habit of urinating and unloading his dirt on those newspapers because everywhere he goes its all in paper. He will then choose a spot where he unloads. As soon as he establishes this spot take out the other paper far from it. Eventually what will be left will be a spot of newspaper not really big where he prefers to unload. When this happens, I can say that you're on the right track in doing dog potty training.

Now move the piece of paper one inch a day to your chosen area. When he misses then go back few steps backward you might have move the paper too soon. Dog potty training needs patience and there will be times when the puppy makes remarkable development and misses at times that you have to do the whole process again. Just follow the steps and you will have a successful dog potty training.
