Dog Training

Essay text:

Just you can expect if the containment is adequate for longer periods of time in confinement!) HOUSETRAINING Basic Rules of Housetraining your Puppy (or adopted dog) Prevent accidents in the house by using containment Exercise Pen – long term (with housetraining pads) this will be the routine for when you leave. Set up the x-pen inside the house around the ‘doggie door’ put pads outside… water / bed inside…do not use when home. Close off doggie doors when home until you better know your dog’s potty routine!!! Crate – short term (to teach your pup to hold it) – use when you are at home and need some down time if possible – crate in same room as you so lucky doesn’t panic! Tie-down to wall (like crate – short term when you are home) Tether to you – (umbilical cord while you walk around) Reward all pees / poops outside in same location outside · Always on leash (perhaps out front will be better for these guys!) · Say GOOOOOD puppy when they pee / poop · Feed cookie in area they pee / poop (you get more bang for your buck – pup pees and you know that feels good and they get a cookie and they get to play afterwards!) · Then and only then let them off leash or take them for nice walk Keep records on your dog’s pee / poop routine · Mark how many times / when your pup goes · Note when accidents occur in house and implement better prevention Keep accident-prone areas free of smell that trigger peeing · Barricade off areas your dog goes to more than once to pee or poop to prevent habits from engraining! · Use Petastic Enzyme Never scold your pup for pee/poop after the fact · Promote better prevention · Interrupt without emotion if you ‘catch them’ – then take out immediately and praise for any pees / poops outside · Pups can learn quickly to pee/poop out of sight because their owners get angry at them...
