Puppy Potty Training Aids Make For Easy Dog Obedience
When you are puppy potty training there are bound to be accidents and so you may need a tool to help clean up the mess. A few solutions can make your training much easier and more effective, so here are a few for you to try.
A Poop Catcher for Dogs
Sure you can scoop it, you can bag it, you can even compost it – but can you catch it? Yes, you can catch it with a dog waste catcher that allows you to catch the poop before it hits the ground. Dog poop catchers are usually a frame that can fold and collapse so that you can wrap a plastic bag on it. All you have to do is put it under your dog as she’s “doing her thing” and when she’s done, you can wrap it up. Of course, if you’re considering low tech, consider using a paper plate for your puppy potty training aid.
Aids for Little Yards
If you live in an apartment or have a terrace or small yard, or if you just want your pooch to potty in a specific area, try a portable potty training aid. There are many aids to help make easy dog obedience training. All kinds of these potties are cropping up on the market. Some models come with fake grass and a litter system beneath them and some include a built-in fire hydrant and white picket fence. Others have clear walls for the males that like to lift a leg when they tinkle.
When choosing a potty, it’s critical that you choose one to match the size of your dog. Even if your space is small, you should try to get the right size, because a larger dog needs a larger patch of grass. Choosing the right aid will greatly assist your dog and puppy training.
Choices for Litter Boxes
Small-dog owners may be interested in litter training their dogs, and indeed, this has proven successful for some. Here are some things for you to think about when choosing to use a litter box.
- Is your dog small? It is much easier for a small dog to use a litter box than a large dog, and to scoop out their smaller feces.
- If you have a small dog, do you travel a lot with her? A litter box can help you to avoid frequent stops, plus, your dog will have a place to “do her thing” once you get to where you’re going.
- Is there a health concern which is why you want to litter train? Is your mobility restricted in any way by physical limitations that would make it easier for you to litter train your dog than to walk her?
- If you live in an apartment that doesn’t allow you to get your dog outside quickly, this can make training difficult. Is it for you?
Once you know that your dog is healthy and is capable of being housebroken, it’s time to start training your puppy.
