Potty
Training your Adult Dog made Easy
It
is possible for adult dogs to be potty trained. All pet owners
concern with the old maxim “you cannot teach old dog
new tricks”. Better not to despair if the dog is not
potty trained.A little more patience and kindness for the
pet will train the adult dog to do it in the right place.
“Better late than never” should be your policy.
Though
training animals is a difficult- chore, the dog is the easiest
among the pets for training. Puppies can be trained easily
compared to adult dogs. Potty training your adult dog requires
patience and commitment. Since old habits die hard you should
give the dog more time to learn and progress.
Here
an eagle eye on your pet and see he doesn’t pee or leave
stool all over your house. Have a leash and restrict his movements
in your house. Assign a separate enclosure for your pet and
allow it to play with the whole family. No cage or box should
be used to keep the dog as it will be an ordeal for the pet
and robs it of free movement.
First
and foremost offer limited water to drink to prevent dehydration.
The last meal for your pet should be at seven so that it will
not urinate or defecate during your sleeping hours.
When
the pet sniffs and scratches at the door, you should know
that it wants to urinate or defecate. It becomes restless
and acts distracted. Recognizing these signs will help you
to potty train your pet dog.
Fix
up a place for the dog to urinate and defecate. Take your
dog for a morning walk and don’t play with it till he
completes his morning chores.
Admire
and appreciate your pet for doing it in the right place. Do
not take the dog to task for not eliminating the waste in
the right place either by word or deed. Potty training is
slow but very rewarding in the long run. Time, patience and
commitment will enable him to learn and delight you.
