Good Housetraining Techniques
When you bring a new puppy dog home you’ll be wanting to have it around you as much as practicable. But proper housetraining is significant and should start right away. One of the best paths to begin training your dog is by utilizing a crate or other barrier to keep the puppy in a little area to discourage him from relieving himself whenever he feels like it. Utilise a harness or collar to take him outside regularly but use the crate when you are in doubt.
Your dog should be restrained anytime he’s not being conscientiously observed. A small crate or box is ideal for this, since a bigger area would simply permit the dog to relieve himself on an edge or in a corner and move a great distance away from the mess. Smaller is better since dogs have a natural instinct not to mess where they have to sit and sleep.
Take your dog outside frequently to give him the opportunity to potty. At the start, it’s good to do this whether the dog appears to need to go or not. Sometimes, the dog will take advantage of the opportunity and potty while outside. This could let you enjoy some playtime with the little puppy outside its crate when you go back inside. If you wait too long between outdoor sessions, it’s much more likely the dog will relieve itself inside.
When the dog is out of the crate, watch scrupulously for signs like circling, sniffing or an effort to get away from you. These could mean that the dog wants to potty. If you see these signs, quickly take the dog outside.
Even if you’ve got a large fenced-in yard and can simply open the door for the puppy to go outside unmonitored, go out with the dog for the initial few weeks, at least. This lets you get your dog used to his EzyDog harness, and lets you ensure the dog goes potty while he’s outside.
