How to Potty Train Your Dog

Every dog owner wishes that its dog could use the toilet just like he does. However puppies and dogs might not be pottery trained in the beginning and cleaning the dirt could get messy and frustrating for you.

 In case of puppies you should start to potty train them when they are around 8 weeks old. The training can take a lot of your time and patience but it is surely going to be useful at the end of the day.

The most popular method of potty training is the newspaper method. In this case all you have to do is lay a couple of newspapers in the corner of your house such as the utility room or the bathroom.
 Every time your dog does potty somewhere else in the house you take it to the corner where you have put the newspaper by signaling to him in a commanding tone. You can also keep an eye on your dog around the house and when it begins to do potty you immediately direct home to the corner where there are newspapers.

 This way your dog will begin to understand that the corner is the designated spot for him to do potty.
Once it learns to the designated corner you can start praising him. Hence it will understand that you are happy with the dog’s changed behavior. The other solution is to take him for walks and let him do potty outside.

However in this case don’t forget to clean the potty with the special shovel as many countries have strict laws about dirtying on the roads. Once you take him out regularly it will finish its potty outside. 
Remember that potty training does take some patience and time but the good news is that your dog will eventually learn it. Dogs normally like to do things that make their owners happy and hence when you praise them for doing potty at the right spot they will understand. Some people also direct the dog to the potty corner or spot after noting their everyday time.

 This way the dog understands that at a particular time of the day he should go to the particular corner and finish its job. Some breeds learn it fast while some breeds may take more time. However you should remember that in the end you will be much happier to have a trained dog who knows its potty manners.
