Potty Training Pet Tips: Getting Doggy to Go Out!

We all have moments when we’ve gotten new pets, especially young or baby pets, which have no potty training.  You know those moments, when you first walk in the front door after work or wake up in the night…Well, when you have a pet this young it’s your responsibility to potty train that pet.  Here are a few tips from Top Pet Tips.com to help you out with getting your puppy or kitten to go out!

-For the first few months be vigilant. Do not fail to notice the faint signals that the dog or puppy gives when it has the urge. The signals usually come in the form of sniffing or scratching at the door panels.

-Pick it up gently, releasing it in the back garden or wherever it is convenient.

-Bring it back to the parlour, patting gently on the head and saying encouraging things as you would say to a week old baby. Young dogs are extremely sensitive to the tonal quality of human voice and very easily distinguish between harsh words and soft words. All efforts to train the dog will be wasted if he is alarmed at this stage.

-Young dogs of most breeds are also capable of understanding human emotions and feelings. Note signs of uneasiness in the dog if you ask him, do you have to go outside? He would immediately start wagging his tail, indicating that he has to go. Start first by bodily lifting him and releasing him at the appropriate place. Thereafter, opening the door and a mere command to go will be sufficient.

-Don’t forget to reward him with some titbits and a gentle pat. The dog will understand that he has done something to please his master. There is nothing pleasanter to a dog than to please his master, which he will do even in his deathbed.
