Canine Potty Training Tips – Stop Picking Up Smelly Piles and Soaking Up Nasty Stains off Your Floor

Canine potty training isn't as difficult as you think. Are you tired of picking up smelly piles of poop from off your living room floor?

Are you sick of soaking up pee stains from off your carpet? There is a solution. Unfortunately, people are being given the wrong canine potty training advice.

Whether you have a puppy or a new dog that needs to be housebroken, here are 3 golden rules to canine potty trainingthat will make your life easier and your house cleaner.

Canine Potty Training Rule #1

As soon as you bring your puppy or dog home, always keep one eye on the dog at all times. Why? Your dog has to get used to its surroundings. You also have to get used to timing your dog's bowel movements. If you cannot keep your eye on your pup at all times, then you must confine him to a crate.

Canine Potty Training Rule #2

Crate training is perceived as being cruel. The reality is dogs like to feel safe and secure. If you put your dog in a crate from day 1, he will learn that his crate is a place for him to sleep and eat. Dogs never poop where they eat.

The crate needs to be comfortable enough for your dog to stand in and sleep in. Any bigger than that, and he'll have room to poop in it. You want to confine the space so that when it's time for him to go potty, he won't want to poop in his crate because he knows he has to sleep and eat there.

Canine Potty Training Rule #3

Every single time your dog pees and/or poops in your house - be it accidentally or purposefully - you must give him immediate strong correction. He should be able to associate a negative consequence with "doing his business" in your home and a positive consequence for peeing and pooping outside.

If you correct him long after the incident, he won't understand why you're correcting him. So it's important that you watch him so that you'll know exactly when to give him the correction.
