Transition From Puppy Pads to Outdoor Potty Training

Puppy pads are useful tools when you are housebreaking your new pet. There are many people who are doubtful with training pads because of the bad reviews they hear about. But, pet trainers and owners agree that with the right pad and training, your puppy will have an easier time knowing where to go potty.

Indoor potty training is one of the basics that you should teach to your dog. If you don't, you might find some lumps on your carpet or wet pools on your floor. Before you get a puppy, you should be prepared to take on the responsibility because unlike stuffed toys, they require training, maintenance and grooming.

When your pet is already used to puppy training pads, then you no longer have problems with ruined carpets and soiled floors. However, that can't last forever and you might need to introduce him to going potty outdoors. So here are some tips that will help you with the transition between indoor and outdoor potty training.

Some puppies do not like to eliminate outdoors so to help him cope with that, try moving the pee pads closer to the door. It has to be the door that leads to the area where you want him to go potty. When you move the pad, make sure the dog sees you moving it. Constantly remind him that you moved the puppy pads so it doesn't go to the usual spot and pee where the pad is no longer placed.

The next step would be to take the pad outside the door and place your puppy there when he wakes up from a nap or 10 minutes after a meal. There are certain signs that will tell you that your dog needs to pee or poop. You should keep your pet within your sight so you would know and if you need to be away, put it in its crate.

It is recommended to take soiled pads out because dogs rely more on their sense of smell than sight. When your puppy starts to eliminate on the pads you've moved outside, then praise him profusely. Let him know that he is doing the right thing and give him a treat. Rewarding your dog when he is learning and not giving him severe punishments will make obedience training easy.

These are the steps that you follow to help you with the training your dog to go potty outside after he's used to eliminating in the puppy training pads.

Dogs and Puppy Obedience Crate and Potty Training

Ever wondered why do animals have large expressive eyes? Animals are not given the facility of speech, but they are gifted with large, bulging and expressive eyes through which they speak love that is all unconditional. Dogs are the favourite animal for any human; you can see a pet dog in almost every home. Loving and obedient pets add grace to the house and relief to the inhabitants. So, let's learn how to train a dog.

Before we talk about dog training basics, there are some important things to be kept in mind while you go to buy a dog for yourself:-

Don't choose a dog that appears cute or funny to you. Once you pick it, you are going have a 15-18 yrs relationship with it. So, think about the level of activity in your life, and then pick the breed whose temperament and need for activity which matches your lifestyle.Give your dog a name that is not too long and fancy and sounds simple and easy. Spell out the name of the pet as often as you could and more while you train him or her.If you are training your dog, then do share the training methods and rules with other members of your family so that the commands remain consistent, and the pet doesn't get confused.

Communication and understanding with your pet is necessary otherwise the love and comfort will be lacking. So, pat your pet often and talk to him just like you talk to your friends. He may not understand you at first, but soon you will have forged a deep bond with your pet.

Dog Training Basics

Dogs and puppy obedience crate and potty training go hand in hand; fact is that crate is a mandatory tool for the potty training of dog.

Crate training is teaching your pet by being confined in a cage or kennel (known as crate) when he is not under your eyes. It also avoids him against his natural instincts of soiling where he sleeps. Dogs have a 'denning instinct' and so they feel safe and secure in small places; the pets enjoy sleeping inside the crates. When your pet is a puppy, keep the crate very small so that they could not relieve themselves in it. When they grow up, make a crate that is as bigr their size and is close to family. Train the pet by putting him in crate for few minutes several times a day and then let him out. Gradually increase the time, until he is assured of his sleeping place and that he will come out when in need to pee and poop or eat food.

Potty training needs consistency and regularity. After you get your dog perfectly crate trained, next comes keeping him on a good schedule. Take him out on regular trips and allow him a chance to release in his potty area. Know your pet that how frequently he will require the potty trip. Mostly dogs need to eliminate after they have their food; with time you will get to know their pees and poos habit. Every time as your dog releases, pat him lovingly, praise him and this will encourage him do the same on habit.

It is also important to let your dog know when he has done wrong. So, have a light stick with you all the time. You can roll a piece of newspaper and make a stick out of it. Strike on him lightly with this stick every time he misses the right step, and he will know that something has gone wrong.

The best advantage of keeping a dog is that with time you get to have an open heart full of love and compassion; increasingly you become empathic and receptive to love. So, have a pet and practice love and compassion with him which is little hard with humans. J
