Potty Training Puppies Tips

View:

Potty training your new pet can be tiresome and frustrating. Many people give up the idea of sharing the indoors with their new pet due to the time commitment it traditionally takes to potty train. Potty training does not need to be a burden or deterrent for you to enjoy the companionship of your pet. The following is an easy-to-follow guide for all pet owners desiring for less headaches and smells and more pet enjoyment.

The Importance of Routines

Scheduled outside time that is consistent day to day is the key to effective training. Pets, just as we do, have internal clocks that depend on routines and schedules. Your new pet needs frequent outside trips to emphasize that the outdoors is their place. Allow your pet outside time when you get up in the morning and then every two hours for two weeks. Increase the time by one hour for the next two weeks. During this time be watchful for ?signs? your pet will show you that alerts you to needing to go outside. Use prompting phrases such as, ?you need to go outside?? ?Let's go potty? or any other phrase you will use consistently and frequently.

Positive Reinforcement

To reinforce desired pet behavior, it is important to celebrate your pet's achievement with a treat, affection, and words of encouragement. You may want to keep pet treats and play gear near the door for those spur of the moment trips. Your pet is looking to please you and therefore will repeat the behavior that earns praise and attention from you. Should your pet have an accident it is important to remind your pet of your expectations by using a short and simple command such as, ?No? followed by leading your pet outside.

Pet Home

As your new pet is learning about you, your home and new surroundings, it is important to have a pet home for your pet. The home can be a kennel, crate or small-gated area. This is where your pet should sleep and stay when you are not supervising. Your new pet will be confused and this also eliminates the possibility of your pet destroying your property. Keep your pet's home comfortable and clean with a blanket chew toys and treats. Always make water available for your pet. Once you have established a routine with your pet you may begin to allow more house privileges.

The most important thing to remember as you are stepping into the role of a new pet owner is to practice patience and persistence. By incorporating these two strategies into a daily routine, your new pet will be happy and obedient, and best of all; you will not have accidents to clean.

Potty Training Puppies Tips

1) To ensure a pleasant and successful training, make sure that your child is ready. This is the most crucial of all potty training tips. The worst thing you can do is to push your toddler into it when they are not ready. You will be wasting your time with something which your child is not ready for...yet. Observe and keep a close eye on your child to see if he or she shows any cues of giving up diapers. Some of the signs your child my exhibit include: starting to show interest in going to the toilet and is able to tell you that his or her diaper is wet. Some will even express to you that they feel very uncomfortable with wet diapers on.

2) Stay consistent once you begin potty training with your child. Do not switch between having diapers and not having them, especially when you have to run an errand. When you are not consistent with your child, he or she will get the idea that it is alright to do things the wrong way. The child will also be confused as to what is expected of him or her. Have your child go potty first before leaving the house for any outing. You do not want to send mixed message to your child. Training your kid to go potty will not take long as long as you stay consistent. You will find your kid trained in no time.

3) Potty training can sometimes be difficult and frustrating for both you and your child. Where possible, be creative and make the experience of toilet training fun. Your toddler will rely very much on your patience to make it through this experience. One of the potty training tips meant to create fun during training is to use a potty training doll. It is a doll which drinks and wets itself; it can be used to help make toilet training fun and easy by means of demonstrating the process. Remember not to yell at your child if he or she makes a mistake. Always keep in mind that each time your child wet his or her pants, your child is doing his or her best to get the hang going potty. Be patient and encourage your toddler each time he or she makes it to the potty on time, and you will realize that very soon your toddler will be out of diapers.

I hope these three potty training tips will help you and your toddler to have a more pleasant experience.
