Potty Training Dogs – Paper Training Vs. Crate Training

You have just introduced a new dog to the family, a cute cuddly canine that as of right now knows no difference between going on the grass and soiling your carpet, you now have to learn about potty training dogs. There are to ways to go about potty training dogs, one is paper training, the other is crate training. Both methods are equally as effective and both with their own plus’s and minus’s.

Paper training is generally considered the easier of the two methods; this involves designating a specific area within your house as an area where you train your dog to use as a washroom. This is most often an area in the kitchen or laundry room. You quite often barricade the dog in this area and praise them when they use the area covered in paper to relieve themselves. Over time you will shrink this area. Crate training is a more difficult and labour intensive method but offers the added convenience of having them relieve themselves outside. In this method your dog is never left unsupervised outside of their crate. You ensure your dog is let out before going into the crate and immediately after being let out of the crate. The crate method requires you to be home in the beginning to ensure the dog is never left to long with out breaks. The Paper method is not generally suggest for larger dogs as the messes they make are proportional to their size, even the most absorbent paper will not catch it all.

As you can see, the two methods for potty training dogs are both good methods. You must decide which method suits your family, your household and your lifestyle the best.

Choosing and Potty training your puppy - Havanese

Trying to teach your puppy to "Go Make" can be as simple or as complicated as you choose to make it and the best way is to follow a simple procedure, and most importantly, stick to it. If you alter your methods from time to time, you are only going to confuse your pet and training them will take a lot longer.

Havanese dogs are intelligent and a hypo-allergenic breed which means that they don't shed and are one of the best breeds to select if someone in your household has allergies. Of course, if you have allergies, you should still go spend some time at the pet store with your Havanese to make sure that it does not cause any allergies you have to flare up.

When you are potty training your Havanese, keep in mind that like a child, they will need constant praise when they have done "their business" and rewarded in some way, maybe a small treat or the like.

There are many different tried and tested methods that have been used to potty train dogs but the one that 97% of dog trainers seem to recommend is using something like a dog training bell. These are basically a set of bells that are hung from the door handle and your puppy taps them with their paw when they need to go make.

This may sound a complicated process to teach your puppy but by following the simple instructions below, it can actually be achieved within two weeks and is actually quite straightforward.

Potty training your puppy:

Firstly, you would hang the dog training bells from the door handle that you wish your puppy to use when they need to go outside.

The best time to start training is first thing in the morning when you know your dog really has to make! While stating your "Potty Command", take your dog's paw and gently swat it against the dog training bell. Since they will be needing to make urgently, only guide them to ring the bells a couple of quick times. While doing this, give them words of encouragement such as: "Good boy, good bells" and "Ring the bells, let's go make!".

When you have taken your puppy outside and it has "made", make sure that you praise them and give them a little treat so that they associate ringing the bell and making outside as a positive thing.

Remember that this article is geared around Havanese puppies and as they are small, they will only have a small bladder and will not be able to hold this as long as a bigger dog such as a German Shepherd etc.

Conclusion:

This should achieve maximum results in the shortest amount of time, saving you time and money on new upholstery and carpets and giving you and your dog a happy home experience.

The simplest and most effective way of potty training your puppy would be to start off from the moment you bring them home and use the tried and tested method of dog training bells.
