Toilet training your dog is not as hard as you think. Dogs are smart and easy to train especially when they are young and there’s a consistent schedule that they can follow. Here are a few tips to get you started.
Give the dog plenty of time to go outside.
Dogs need time to do their business. Do not hurry or give the impression that your dog is on a timer. Allow your dog to sniff around and explore the best places where he can be most comfortable. This is natural and perfectly necessary.
Use positive reinforcement.
A pat on the head, a doggie treat or a chew toy can help the dog associate going to the toilet with a reward. This helps reinforce the behavior and helps him learn faster.
Observe.
If you are potty training the dog, you need to commit your time so you can devote your attention to observing the dog when he goes. This allows you to observe opportunities that require reinforcement and make accomplishment of potty training goals easier to do.
