Stop Dog Poop Accidents - Stop Picking Up Steamy Piles Of Poop On Your Rug

In order to train a dog to poop outside, the first lesson a dog owner must learn is to understand the pre-elimination signs. I'll teach you how to train your dog to stop peeing on your rug.

Dog Potty Training - Easier Than You Think

Training a dog to poop outside is easier than you think. So when do you start your dog's potty training? Ideally, potty training should start between 1 and 2 months of age. Unfortunately though, puppies at that age have not yet developed the muscular control to succeed.

When it comes to training a dog to poop outside, patience is golden. Commands like "sit", "fetch" or "stay" come very easily to puppies and can be learned within a few days. But potty training takes weeks, sometimes months.

Here are 3 Signs Your Dog Is Going To Take a Dump

Dogs give specifical signals as to when they need to poop - it's up to us - the owner - to be able to pick up on their cues. These clues will help you to train a dog to poop outside a much easier task:

1. Circling and squatting in a particular area

2. Pacing a particular area

3. Smelling a particular area over and over

Here Are 3 Tips Guarateed to Train Your Dog to Poop Outside:

Tip #1 Drag Your Dog Out Fast

The easiest thing about puppy training is that puppies make it easy for you to catch them before they poop on the floor. Before your puppy poops on the floor, scoop her up quickly and say "outside" and then quickly run outside with her.

Tip #2 Give the Command

A lot of the time the puppy will waste unnecessary time going in circles over and over, but then he gets down to business. As she begins to poop or pee, say "Go Potty". You don't want to yell at her, but you do need to say the command to her firmly. Then of course, after she's finished, you praise her lavishly.

Tip #3 Never Make Your Dog Afraid of You By Threatening HimVery important, be patient. Don't scold your puppy if she eliminates indoors. Remember, it takes time for a dog to let you know it has to go outside. Remember, their bladder muscles need to develop also, which comes with maturity.

Elimination Schedule For Puppy Should Be Frequent

A few tips to remember - usually dogs need to eliminate every 2-3 hours. If your dog has not shown pre-elimination behavior within that time frame, take her out anyway. It's better to be safe than sorry. Make sure you say "Go Potty".

Again, even when outside, it helps to wait and watch for the desired behavior then issue the command. That helps the dog associate the command with the behavior.

If the dog hasn't gone after a few minutes and a few 'Go potty' commands, take it back inside for an hour. Of course, if you spot the pre-elimination behavior in less time, go outside again immediately.

Conclusion

Dogs learn very quickly. Be patient and loving. Punishment is cruel and counter-productive, and nowhere more so than in waste elimination training. Finally, never rub a dog's nose in waste.
