Dog Potty Trays

is there anyone who is/ have paper trained their dog?if so, how did it turn out?

i've been thinking, doing lots of research and stressing myself about how im gonna potty train my upcoming puppy. lots of research says that they recommend crate training. i dont know about what you think of a crate but i hate the idea of keeping my dog in a crate til i get back home or while im sleeping. no way. i would only use a crate for traveling. i was thinking more of training my pup to either eliminate on paper or a potty tray which you can order from wizdog.com. of course ill still take him outside he will also learn that its ok to eliminate outsideas well. as for when im gone i think ill keep him in a roomy playpen instead of a crate. and i kno some may say its wrong because the dog will use one side to eliminate and the other side to sleep.honestly i dont think it matters if people say what is and whats not a good idea, as long as the dog knows what particular thing is his potty, do anyone think this is a good idea?

yep.
i live in an apartment and had to paper train my pup to go in the balcony.
when i got my pup i was quite lucky becoz ,although he was only 8weeks old, he was already paper trained.
all i did was put the paper in the balcony. it took Shogun (my GSD pup) a little while to notice the paper in the balcony but he soon got the hang of it.

i think that paper training is excellent becoz dogs dont depend on you to go to the toilet. what i mean is, if you dog needs the toilet in the middle of the night, he wont have to wake you up, he will just go do it on the paper.

good luck.

Crate Training Your Yorkshire Terrier

Some people mistakenly look at crate training as cruel. While it is true that there are irresponsible and unethical owners out there who misuse dog crates and intend for them to be punishment, proper crate training can be beneficial to your dog and your life with them. Yorkshire Terriers are the type of breed that will take to crate training well.

Proper crate training will keep you and your dog happy in a number of ways. When choosing a crate for your dog, it is best to go with a wire crate. Wire crates are most comfortable for dogs because they can still observe the room around them while inside. These also provide the most adequate ventilation and can be easily folded up to bring on trips or collapse when more space is needed. Buying the right size crate is key, as well. A proper dog crate should be only large enough for your dog to stand up and comfortably turn around in. When dogs have crates that are too big for them, they will often begin to go potty inside one corner of the crate and sleep in another corner. Obviously, this is a habit you strongly want to discourage.

It is important to choose the place in the house in which you will set up your dog's crate. Keeping the crate away from windows or heating/air conditioning vents is best, as these areas can heat or cool to extremes. You should also pick an area where you spend time so that your dog won't be completely alone, like the living room or even in your bedroom. When crating your dog, you must be careful to remove all harnesses, collars, or tags. These items can potentially get caught in the crate and cause strangulation or other terrible injuries.

If your puppy or dog doesn't chew up blankets, it is alright to line the crate with a blanket or small doggie bed. Otherwise, sleeping on the plastic tray will be fine for them. Make sure the blanket or bedding is made from washable fabric, as there can always be accidents.

When you first introduce your new puppy to the crate, you must do so with gentle encouragement. Never force a dog to go into the crate, as this can create negative connotations for him or her regarding the crate. Your pup should think of the crate as his or her own safe place. If your puppy is reluctant to enter the crate at first, try leaving a few of his or her favorite toys inside it. If that doesn't work, lure them in with their food dish or a treat.

Start out by only leaving your puppy in the crate for a short period and walk out of the room. This should help your dog get used to the idea of being in the crate when you are not home. Gradually increase how long you leave your pup unattended in his or her crate until the dog is comfortable in their crate with your absence.

Crate training not only gives your puppy his or her own "safe place", it provides an easy way to keep your dog out of trouble that could be dangerous while you are away. It is imperative that you never use time in the crate as a punishment for your puppy lest he or she begin to fear the crate or see it as a place to go when he or she has misbehaved.
