Dog Potty Training Employing Pet Supplies And Negative Reinforcement

If you’ve owned pets you know how much affection and joy can be brought by man’s best friend. There are also those times that a pet can be quite annoying, such as the instances that he does not quite make it outside before he does his business routine.

Oftentimes, it’s a of the pets owner forgetting to let the dog out. It also could be that it is because the dog is too young and doesn’t know any better. There is one tried and true way to potty train a puppy that works better than any other methods. Piddle pads or dog training pads are available in with antibacterial action that decrease odors with sealed edges and leak proof backing offer better protection These pads are perfect for housetraining puppies, when leaving small dogs for longer periods of time or for around litter boxes and can be found at discount pet supplies.

One of the best ways to train a dog to go outside was by swatting him on the nose or behind with a newspaper every time that he went inside and putting him out into the backyard. This is negative reinforcement theory at work for potty training.

The only problem with a negative reinforcement method is that it will likely make your feel bad swatting your dog.  You may fell like an absolute knuckle head. One way that requires no discipline is that taking the dog out at the same time, three times a day. It works because the dog would get used to going outside and would do its business out there. That may sound great but who has the time? If you are a stay-at-home mom you could make sure that her dog was out at the exact same time every day.

Another way is to put down newspaper for the dog to go on, and then each day, gradually move that paper closer to the back door. The idea is that eventually the dog will automatically go to the back door where you can let him out.

In trying to determine how to potty train a puppy you’ll find that a little patience and a lot of newspaper works great. It may take a few days, but there is no discipline involved, and you do not have to worry about following a rigid dog walking schedule. There are even special potty strips and patches available on pet supply stores for those that need their dog to go potty indoors.
