Any time you’re puppy potty training, you’re going to wind up with accidents, so you’ll need the right tools to 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. These dog poop catchers usually consist of a collapsible frame that folds out to create a circular shape onto which you can wrap a plastic bag. 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. If you want to go a little lower-tech, you can always use 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 all sorts of aids available to make easy dog obedience training. There are many of this type of potty coming available. Some of these even come with fake grass, a litter system underneath them and you can even get a fire hydrant and fence on some models. You’ll also find that some have clear walls for the male who likes to lift his leg.
When you’re picking a potty, you need to make sure that the one you pick is the right size for your dog. Even if you have a small space, try not to skimp on size as your medium-sized dog may not want to use a Chihuahua-sized 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 a few things to consider when deciding whether or not to use a litter box.
- Do you have a small dog? Smaller dogs have a much easier time using litter boxes, plus it’s easier to scoop out their poop.
- 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.
- Do you have a health reason for wanting to litter train? Do you have mobility restrictions that would cause you to want to litter train your dog?
- 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 there are no health roadblocks for your dog and that there should be no reason why your pet cannot do the right thing, its time to start puppy potty training.
