After falling in love with a fluffy and adorable little puppy, new owners soon realize that caring for a puppy during the first weeks is a bigger job than they bargained for. Luckily the kind of dog you have or whether you do your dog training Philadelphia or live in an apartment and must complete dog training NYC. The same rules apply for all dogs and for all living environments and locations. Although you probably want your pooch to learn good habits as soon as possible, you cannot rush the potty process.
Just as toddlers need to be shown where and how to go to the bathroom, you need to communicate with your dog where he is allowed to do his business. Dogs also require positive reinforcement when they do follow the rules. Fail to do this and they will end up going where ever and whenever the mood strikes them. Many people would like to believe that simply opening the door every few hours to let the puppy out will teach them what to do, but this is far from reality.
Try to remember that no matter how vigilant you try to be, there are going to be a few accidents. Just make sure that you clean up thoroughly and use and odor neutralizing solution so that the dog is not drawn back to pee in the same place again. Although it may seem cruel to confine an energetic puppy from the start, this strategy will result in giving the puppy much more freedom in a shorter amount of time you are dealing with a different kind of baby.
For the best results, a feeding schedule must be developed and consistently followed. Your dog will count on being fed at the same time every day, but please avoid feeding near bed time and remove the water bowl before bedtime as well. A routine will encourage a regular schedule of feeding and elimination.
Once the puppy has mastered where to go, then it is time for him to learn how to tell you he has to take a trip outside. Hang a bell from string on the door knob making sure that the puppy’s nose is able to reach it. Following the same schedule as before, add to the routine by saying something cue words like “go potty” while shaking the bell. After doing this each and every time you take your puppy outside to go to the bathroom for a couple weeks, then stop ringing the bell when you say “go potty” when you stand by the door. By this time your little buy will probably be catching on and will starting ringing the bell with his nose on his own. Upon demonstrating the desired behavior show your excitement, offer plenty of praise and quickly open the door. If your puppy is still unsure about the bell ringing thing after you’ve waited about 10 seconds, then ring the bell and say “go potty.” Be patient if your dog is a little slow to learn because eventually he’ll be able to shake the bell every time he has to go and your worries will be over.
