POTTY TRAINING - CRATE

The easiest way to train a dog to pee or poop in the right place is by watching them

doing it right and then praising and rewarding them. The big difficulty of this is to see

the moment your dog is doing and reward immediately. Praise or scold your dog when

you find anything in the right, or the wrong place won’t make sense for them, the

reward needs to be precise.

When your dog is confined to their crate, they will naturally hold their bowels and

bladder. This is because dogs do not want to soil the place they are sleeping or eating

and because they are not moving around and their bladder and bowels aren’t being

stimulated.

The ideal is to take a few days to train your dog and keep the training followed

throughout the day. But I know we don't always manage to dedicate so much time, so

you’ll keep your dog confined to PlayPen whenever you can't be focused on his

training. Their playpen should have a bed at one end and a weewee pad at the other

end. It is essential to keep in mind that more dedication will result in a shorter training

period.

After a while, your dog will learn to save their pee and poop for the one place where he

is rewarded and receive treats. Then you don’t need to keep confining your dog to a

crate.

It's really worthwhile reinforcing toilet training every day, even after years and years.

Whenever possible, you should go with your dog to their toilet to reward him.
