Owing a dog is a wonderful thing. They are absolutely man`s closest animal. But they could become annoying when they start messing up the whole place. In this article, I will share with your how to house/potty train your dog using the litter box training method.
You need to realize that this method is used for only dogs within the six months age group. Medium and large dogs have large amount of urine and feces (the two are really offe4nsive in smell). This is because the amount of litter that will be required to soak it all up will be extremely heavy to put in the litter box and also considering the cost of the amount litter that will be required.
You can use the normal schedule of house training, but you will need to only use the litter box as its potty place and take it to the place every hour or so. Remember to always praise the dog when he potties there willingly!
This method is the perfect method for elderly owners, home alone dogs and toy breeds. But you should know that it can sometime be stressful and money consuming.
While you are house/potty training your dog, you should assist your dog to get to know where it would constantly ease itself. Make use of positive verbal commands to get this done. You should select various positive command words for different stuffs. And do not scold or shout at your dog when it urinates or defecates at the wrong place. Correct it with love and treat it with lots of patience.
