Dog potty training is highly impossible if your dog is no longer a pup. The best time to potty train your dogs is when they are still pups because the older they get, the harder it gets for you to teach them anything so once you get that puppy, start dog potty training as early as possible. Old dogs cannot learn new tricks, remember?

The first rule to remember is once your dog eat, you would only have to wait for 15 minutes before it makes that food into poop and that goes the same way with water -only this time it’s pee. Your job as his or her owner is to get your dog do his or her business where you want it and not cleaning up poop all your dog’s life.

Dog potty training rule no.2 is to get your dog to take a walk with you in your yard for example once the two of you are already awake. By that time, your dog will want to poop. After his breakfast, wait 15 minutes and go to the backyard once again and let him do his business there. Dogs have a crazy metabolism, after their afternoon nap, they also have to poop and pee so taking your dog outside after his nap is also suggested.

The third rule is to praise your dog once he or she poops in the yard. Your cheery voice will send a signal to the dog’s brain that he or she just made you so happy and your dog will surely do his or her pooping in the yard more frequently.

Rule 4 is to let your dog eat when you have the time to take a walk. When it comes to water intake for your doggie, control his water intake when he is still untrained but be sure to have a lot of time in your hands because dogs need to be hydrated too.

If your dog is still not potty trained this becomes a big problem during summertime because dogs need to drink lots of water to keep their body at the right temperature. You can save cleaning time by having your dog learn how to tap on something or maybe ring a bell when he needs to pee. What needs to be done in this case is before you bring your dog to his peeing area, make him ring a bell. Do it every time you two go out so that he will make it into a routine. This will greatly help you get a tip off that your dog is about to go.

The fifth rule and the hardest one is to quietly clean up your dog’s poop or pee when he or she did the business in a “prohibited” area. Ignore your dog. Do not punish your dog or yell at your dog because he or she will not be able to understand that you are frustrated. In fact, your dog will only be amused and slightly confused in the process.

Rule number 6 is to keep your dog with you wherever you go. This will prevent poop and pee accidents. Remember that this will also help you sustain a healthy relationship with your dog. Have fun with the dog potty training!
