How to Teach Your Dog to Go to the Indoor Potty?

By Dmitry Vasenyov


If the dogs have an opportunity to go to the toilet wherever they want, they would hardly have selected a place where they eat, play and sleep. Before you decide to arrange a toilet for dogs in the flat, you must realize that the dog defecates at home for the next reasons:

Maybe, the animal is ill.

The dog marks territory.

The dog is experiencing strong negative emotions: fright, disturbance, etc.

When organizing a toilet for dogs, you should take a separate space and special potty and not allow the dog defecate in other places. It is necessary to remove the boxes in which the dog may hide, but several hidden places should be left so that the dog will learn to do it. Some time and efforts are needed to accustom to the potty.

Sometimes it is possible to teach puppies to go to the potty only to 8-12 months. When the puppy reaches the age of four months, it must go to its indoor potty without problems. If you took a dog from a kennel, it will be necessary to re-educate it.

During toilet training for dogs it is important to know where currently your dog is. In order to avoid "accidents", pay attention to the primary symptoms, which your pet wants to get rid of: slow walking, howling, sniffing, restlessness. If you were able to observe these symptoms, lead your dog to the indoor potty. Not all dogs show you that they want to go to the toilet. You have to control it.

If you accustom your dog to the indoor potty, but you have no opportunity to constantly monitor the pet, leave it in a small room and close the door, or put it on a rather short leash. Give the dog more freedom every day. I hope these tips will help you and will be useful.
