Puppy Potty Training

A lesson isn’t complete until you know what not to do. Whatever has been said so far focuses on the affirmatives because only a positive person and a positive attitude can train a dog effectively. Even then, one is human and the tendency is to feel the frustration and let out the steam when the dog is not responding quickly to the housetraining
methods. Even then you have to be careful:

* Do not EVER hit your dog or abuse him or her physically in any way if there is a housebreaking accident.

* Do not EVER rub your dog’s nose in the mess to teach him a lesson. The dog has no idea that he has done something wrong and he himself can’t stand the messy stuff and just wants to get rid of it. By rubbing it in, he registers only the harshness of the punishment with you.

* Do not isolate your dog because he has made a mess inside. Dogs are family oriented and keeping them apart aggravates and disturbs them. The insecurity
that is caused by the isolation would also lead to more accidents.

* Do not change the diet during the housetraining sessions, unless there is a health issue that necessitates a change. A change in the diet might affect a change in the dog’s bladder and bowel movements.

* Do not leave the food bowl and the water bowl, lying around for the dog to have at any time of his or her choosing. Feed the dog according to a timetable and take away the food after 20 minutes. Whatever the dogs eats, in that time, is what his body needs.

* Do not allow the dog to roam around the house,
wherever he likes. Do not leave the dog unattended
—he would most likely sniff out corners and do his
job there without your knowledge.

If You’re Following these things then your dog gets trained efficiently and will be your friend of you soon .
