Dog potty training is highly impossible if your dog is no longer a pup. The best time to potty train your dogs is when they are still pups because the older they get, the harder it gets for you to teach them anything so once you get that puppy, start dog potty training as early as possible. Old dogs cannot learn new tricks, remember?
The first rule to remember is once your dog eat, you would only have to wait for 15 minutes before it makes that food into poop and that goes the same way with water -only this time it’s pee. Your job as his or her owner is to get your dog do his or her business where you want it and not cleaning up poop all your dog’s life.
Training rule number 2 is for you and your pup to go out in your backyard early in the morning or as soon as the both of you are awake already. Do this after he finishes his first meal as well. Dogs, especially puppies, love taking naps. Be sure that when your puppy wakes up from his nap that you take him out for a walk in your backyard. If you love giving your pup lots of snacks, wait for 15 minutes for him to digest it and then go out for a walk with your dog again so he could do his pooping in the yard or wherever you want him to.
The third rule is to praise your dog once he or she poops in the yard. Your cheery voice will send a signal to the dog’s brain that he or she just made you so happy and your dog will surely do his or her pooping in the yard more frequently.
Rule 4 is to let your dog eat when you have the time to take a walk. When it comes to water intake for your doggie, control his water intake when he is still untrained but be sure to have a lot of time in your hands because dogs need to be hydrated too.
An untrained puppy becomes a problem especially during summer when the weather is dry so be sure to either give your dog a rigid crash course or make time for him so you can teach him slowly.
Rule number 5 will be a bit difficult for puppy and dog lovers but it has to be implemented. Once your dog had a poop accident i.e. pooping in a prohibited space, ignore your dog and clean up his mess as quietly as possible. Punishing or yelling your dog will not make him learn it will only confuse him. For some dogs, you yelling or being mad might be a bit amusing because hey, they cannot understand your language!
Keeping your pet with your when you two are in the house is rule no.6. Doing this will prevent any of those untoward pooping and peeing accidents and it will also strengthen your bond with your dog. Good luck on your potty training!
