Solve Dog Potty Training Problems

September 8, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Learning to solve dog potty training problems is easy..  The main rule of thumb is that you have to stick with it.  When you are potty training your dog at home you have to keep it consistent.  That means that when you are potty training your dog you cant skip steps.  You have to keep in mind that a dog thinks a certain way, and it isn’t the same way that you and I think or learn.

The first step to take when trying to solve dog potty traning problems is understanding your dog.  If your dog is actually a puppy, keep in mind that they have a limited amount of space in their bladder.  Puppies are going to pee and poop on your floor, there is no way around it.  Full grown dogs, on the other hand, can hold their waste a bit longer.  

The second step when learning to solve dog potty training problems at home is remembering what YOU must do.  Lets say, just for example, you work from 8 AM to 5 PM every day, and we will say you wake up at 6AM.  When you wake up, take your dog out to do his business.  Let your dog come in and eat while you are getting ready.  Take your dog out again before you leave for work.  Do you understand what I’m getting at?  I’ll explain better:  Make sure you aren’t leaving a loaded gun (or dog in this case) out in the open ( or locked inside your house).  Make sense?  Great!

The third step is clean up.  Learning to solve dog potty training problems at home is exactly what it sounds like: AT HOME.  Of course you are going to come home to a mess every so often.  Big deal!  That is what a dog does, while it would be nice if they didn’t do that, remember that this is the reason you are reading this article.  When you come home after work (or play..whatever it is) take your dog out immediately!  While your dog is out, clean up the mess you came home to.

The most important thing to remember is to stick with it. Treat your dog when he does something you want him to do. When he does his business out side, treat and praise him. Give him a good petting. You know the spot on your dogs neck that makes his leg shake right? Solving dog potty training problems at home isn’t the worst thing in the world!
