Things You Should Know About Dog Potty Training

By Danny Willson


It is always fun to have a puppy at home but this is also a responsibility for the owner for its lifetime. Some basic obedience training is very important for dogs especially when they are a part of the family. You should always try and start his training as early as possible to prevent any kind of bad habits which may be picked by him. It gets tough to break a dog's habit once it is formed. Training older dogs is a bit tough as compared to puppies because of this reason.

Dog potty training is very important for dogs. This is one of the very basic obedience training which can be learnt by a dog. This kind of a training should start from an early age. If you have a very young puppy, it becomes really hard to keep a track of his schedules. He will not have any control over his bowel movements. But as a puppy grows, he should know where to go for his potty and urination.

Housebreaking a dog may be tough for most people but all it takes is some knowledge about dog instincts. Young puppies don't have any defined schedules. You have to be a bit careful when they wake up after a sleep or after the meals.

Dog potty training is nothing but making an effective communication. You have to let him know what kind of behavior is required from him in a certain situation. This has to be repeated long enough to become a routine and a habit. Dogs can easily make habits out of their daily routines so you have to keep a check on these routines.

Although all dogs can be trained, training also depends on the breed of dog, sex and the age of the dog. Some breeds are much more stubborn so you need to have more patience when dealing with them. Whereas some pick up things really well. Same way, training younger dogs is much more easy than training older ones.
