Housebreaking
Housebreaking
is an issue that needs to be addressed at any age. Food is also a very
important step into successfully House breaking your dog. Good quality
food is
very important in regulating "potty" accidents. Higher quality foods
mean less filler so the dog needs less food to get the same amount of
nutrition.
Lower quality food has "fillers" and so in part your dog has to eat
more to get the same nutrition. The more food the more stool.
The very first step to housebreaking your puppy is to establish a
schedule. It
is critical to stay as close to the same times every day until your
puppy has
fully
understood the concept you are teaching him. The tighter you remain on
schedule, the faster the puppy will develop a rhythm and internal time
clock
for his own schedule. Sounds easy enough ...right? Well if your puppy
is still
having accidents you may need a house breaking class to assist in
making sure
you puppy is going in the right places.
Where is a good place for
your pet to do it's "Duties" ?
 Outside
- We recommend this first. It’s easier and faster for a dog to
distinguish outside and inside. Plus this gets your dog acclimated to
the outside environment and noise.
Potty Pads -We recommend
this option for people living in condos or high-rises’ that decide not
to take their dog outside. Potty pads can be purchased anywhere.
Litter Trays or Boxes -
This is a little bit of a tougher choice for dogs to get acquainted
with.
This method the dog has to leap or jump into
something to go potty. Some dogs can and some
dogs have issues getting in the box.
We
will help you find the appropriate place for your dog to do its “duties
“. Whether it’s in a designated area outdoors, potty papers or a litter
box we will, with your assistance, arrange a system to be followed that
will consider the dog's holding power and your schedule. Confinements
maybe used to assist in keeping the dog from eliminating all over the
house when you cannot supervise. We will look around your home and make
suggestion that we feel will get you the fastest response. The main
important thing is be prepared for setbacks! It’s completely normal for
a dog to have 2-3 good days or weeks and they make a mistake. It
happens. Just let us know how we can assist and we'll help get things
straightened out.
