Dog Obedience Training For Your Pet Dog

Let’s begin with the basics. You need to consider the age of your puppy. A new-born is not ready for potty training but by three months, he is all set to learn how to cleanup.

First rule: Regular meals. Why? By having regular meals, you can take your pet out after he/ she has finished eating the meals. By having these specific times, you can make you dog more disciplined. Say no to irregular meals and late night whimpers!

Second Rule: You should avoid as much as possible to give him food and water while taking a walk outside. If you really have to, you should only give a little. Another important thing to remember is that you should not give your puppy water two hours before bedtime. This is to avoid late night accidents.

Third Rule: You should bring your puppy out on a leash after playing with him. This would give your puppy a hint that it’s time to relieve himself.

Fourth Rule: When you bring your puppy out to relieve itself, always bring it to the same spot so that is is able to recognize the spot where it should relieve itself.

Fifth Rule: You can use a word that would cue your puppy to relieve himself on your command. They will recognize that specific word as a command soon enough.

Last: Reward or praise your puppy if he relieves himself outside or followed your instructions on potty training.

With potty training, sometimes accidents happen. In case these accidents occur, here are some suggestions on how you can best deal with them.

If you catch your pet relieving itself at a place it is not supposed to, firstly, you should not scream or yell. Gently nudge your pet to go outside and after this continue the reward thing by praising your puppy.

I am sure it is frustrating seeng the mess left behind by your pet but you need to stay calm and clean up the mess. After that you should continue the potty training routine that you have made up. After cleaning put the soiled cleaning materials outdoors or where your puppy usually relieves himself, making it easier for your pet to recognize where he should go in the future.

So, what are you waiting for? Use this knowledge that you have acquired and put it to the test. All you need to do is to remember to stick to your schedule and soon, your puppy will get used to it.
