Dog Potty Trainning

Potty training for Dogs?

Does anyone have good suggestion for potty trainning adult dogs?

POTTY TRAINING
These are the problem areas for dogs and potty training:
~ Basic house training; the establishment of an allowable toilet area for your pet.
~Submissive wetting; urination occurring when greeting, disciplining or high excitement.
~Marking; upon reaching puberty - some dogs (male or female) will mark their territory, especially if they are not fixed.

HOUSE TRAINING:

House training should only take approximately two weeks to establish as a routine provided;
~You must be consistent and committed
~ You are prepared to train your pet from the moment you take possession. Have a leash, collar, a designated area and are prepared to maintain a schedule. As soon as possible get your new puppy to the vet for a complete check-up. This will assure you that you have obtained a healthy pup and alert you to any medical complications that can make house training more difficult. Situations such as intestinal upset, intestinal parasites and urinary tract infections can make house training difficult to impossible. The designated toilet area can be as general as outside of the house or as specific as a particular corner of the backyard. You must have a specific plan as to what the designated area is going to be. You cannot teach the dog what is acceptable if you are uncertain. Your puppy does not know what is wrong. If there is a mistake tell him "no" but do not discipline too severely. You only want him to know that you are displeased; you do not want the pup to feel that you are the source of pain. When the pup has done well, pat him, praise him, and let the dog know that you are very pleased. The pup will want to do things that please you. House training can be a foundation for all future training. Affection and praise as a reward for proper response - "no" signaling displeasure and guidance to show the dog what you do want.

SCHEDULING:

~Create a schedule that is practical for you to maintain. If you cannot stick to your schedule - you can't expect the dog to adhere to it.
~Do not allow your dog to free feed until house training is well established. Be very careful of your dog’s diet. ~ avoid foods and/or snacks that can be upsetting to his digestive tract. Feed a high quality diet.
~ Schedule your dog's bed time and waking-up time. Adhere to these times as closely as possible.
~ Young pups will require frequent nap times, be sure that your schedule can accommodate the pup's naps. Remember that the pup will need to be taken outside after each nap.
~Emotional intensity - after intense emotional stimulation (badly scared, frightened, or a particularly rowdy play session) the pup may need to relieve himself.
~Within two to three days, most dogs will be able to "control themselves" for eight hours during the night. You must keep in mind that your daytime schedule will need to be somewhat flexible. By paying attention to your dog, you will learn his nap requirements. Your dog will learn "the routine" and you will both have a schedule that you can live with.

SUPERVISE IN THE HOUSE:

By knowing where your dog is at all times, and what he is doing, you can avoid mistakes. When a pup stops playing and starts to look around for a "good spot", he needs to go out. By observing your dog you will quickly learn to tell the difference between the pups’s exploring his new universe and his searching for a "good location". If the pup starts to make a mistake, firmly but quietly say "No" and take the dog straight to his toilet area. Do not yell at the dog. Do not chase the dog. At this point it is up to you to be observant of your dog. Any mistakes that are made are due to your not paying attention. If you cannot supervise the dog for a period of time, put the dog in a confinement area, or confine him to the room where you are. When you are relaxing (watching TV, reading or on computer), have the dog with you. Give the pup some of his toys to play with. Have the dog on his leash or confine him to the room where you are, so that he doesn't wander of and have an accident. Teach him that it can be enjoyable just being with you.

WHEN YOU CAN’T BE WITH YOUR DOG:

Provide a small area confinement area (bathroom with all "chewable" items removed or dog crate). Do not leave food and water with the dog, or fill him with cookies or snacks before you leave. You should schedule the pup's breakfast to be at least 2 hours before your planned departure time. That way the pup can eat, digest his food and relieve himself prior to your departure. Ideally, if you are going to be gone for more than eight hours, someone should give the dog a drink and an opportunity to relieve himself.

TAKING THE DOG OUT:

~Take your dog on leash to the designated toilet area. Stand quietly, so that the dog can find the right spot. Do not distract the dog. Do not praise the dog during his search. If after about 5 minutes your dog hasn't gone to the bathroom, return him to the house (keeping a close eye on him) for about 1/2 hour, then try again.
~As the dog starts to relieve himself; calmly praise him. Use a chosen word or phrase (good potty or wonderful potty). This phrase will only be used for praise in going potty.
~ When the dog has finished relieving himself praise him more enthusiastically. Let him know that you are very proud of him.
~Remember your dog's routine. Some dogs will "potty" two or three times per outing in the morning, but only twice per outing in the evening. Urination is often followed by defecation, while other dogs will do the reverse.
~ Even if the weather is foul, do not let your dog know that you don't want to be going outside with him. By teaching your dog that even in bad weather going outside is "the thing to do", to please you, then he will be more willing to convey his needs to you.
~While you are learning your dog's "time table", take him out immediately after he wakes up, after he has eaten and after all play sessions.

CATCHING THE DOG IN THE ACT:

~ Without yelling, firmly say "No". If you still don't have the dog's attention, clap your hands.
~ Get the dog outside, to the designated latrine area. If the dog relieves himself outside praise him. Proceed with the potty routine.
~Clean the mess with a deodorizing or odor killing cleanser. If the dog smells his own scent as having been used as a bathroom area, the dog will continue to use the area. If the cleanser is not able to eliminate enough of the scent so that the dog cannot detect it, you can help mask the scent over with vanilla extract. Just one or two drops will make it impossible for the dog to smell any lingering odor.

FINDING A MESS AFTER THE FACT:

~ Do not punish the dog.
~ Accept the fact that you were not paying attention to the dog.
~Do not show the dog that you are upset. Calmly put the dog on his leash and bring him to the location of the accident. With the dog at your side, firmly scold the potty. Do not scold the dog.
~Blot up some urine, or pick up some stool with a piece of paper. Take the evidence and the dog to the potty area. Place the paper on the ground and with the dog watching praise the potty for being in the "right" place. Temporarily leave the paper there. (Remove it when the dog isn't watching)
~ Clean up the remaining mess in the house

Puppy And Dog Potty Training

Dog Potty Training: For the older dog that needs to potty train, first you have to know why this is, is there an underlining medical reason? In this case have things checked out by your veterinarian before proceeding. Is it that she has not had an in-door home before? Whatever the reason may be training your dog is not that different to training a puppy to use a potty. The differences that stand out are the quantities of waste and fluid. On the up side, you have a dog with more control of their bowls and bladder.

Start with routines, regularly feed your dog at the same time. Use dry pet foods as this help with more solid bowl movements and so are easier to clean up. Ten to fifteen minutes after feeding your dog take them to the potty area and use a chosen command say "Toilet" or the word you have decided to use. Do not allow the dog to get distracted with toys or the hope of play time, keep things low key, repeat as needed. When the dog has used the potty area give loads of praise, really help them to understand that they have done the right thing in the right place.

Maybe after you can have a game with them to reward them for their great work. Keep repeating what you are asking of them and where you want them to potty. If you see your dog turning in circles or sniffing the ground take them to their potty area and repeat the command you have chosen, if they use the potty area, praise, praise, and more praise.

Training an older dog is harder than a puppy as they have learnt bad habits. They need watching often, and this can be a problem for the owner. There are potty training mats available in the market that can hold more waste than old news papers and also lock in the smell. For the older dog, they can be beneficial as scenting and wanting to re-scent can be an issue.

Having a crate can be of benefit for your dog as they hate to lie in waste or urine. The crate needs to be the right size for your dog, with enough room for the dog to lie down, but not big enough for the dog to use one end as the potty area and one end to sleep. If you do use a crate, please make sure your dog is exercised before placing them in the crate. Build up the time the dogs has in the crate, and remember crate uses is not instead of the training to use the potty area.

Make sure you take up water and food away from your dog a few hours before bed, and that you have walked or taken your dog to the potty area before you retire for the night. Training an older dog to use a potty can seem daunting and it is a task that has to be consistently done for the results that you want. Like with puppies never hit or shout at your dog for accidents.

If you catch them soiling in the wrong place, say "no" move them quickly to the right place, if they then potty in the right place praise and make a fuss of them. Keep working with your dog and over time you can help them to change and be the dog you want.
