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 3 easy tips to get your dog to poop outside.

Toilet Train Your Dog – It’s Easier Than You Think

Eliminate your fears about getting your dog to poop outside – it’s easier than most people think. What is the right time to start toilet training your dog? Ideally, potty training should start between 1 and 2 months of age. Unfortunately, young puppies have yet to develop the bladder control required to stop poop accidents, so you really have to pay close attention to them.

Training your dog to poop outside requires patience. Commands like “sit”, “fetch” or “stay” come very easily to puppies and can be learned within a few days. But potty training is a whole other ball game and if not done correctly, can take 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 sure shot techniques to train your do go poop outside:

Tip #1 Get Your Dog Outside Fast

Often you can catch your puppy right before it poops on your 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

The good news is as the puppy gets older, he won’t go around in circles over and over trying to pick the best spot – he’ll simply jus go! 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 HimHere is a caveat – be patient. Don’t act harshly toward your dog if she poops inside the house. 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.

Frequency of Elimination for Puppies

Please keep in mind that all dogs tend to need to pee or poop every 2 to 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.
