I have trained my dog to go to the bathroom outside, however when I have to go to work I can't leave her by herself I have to have someone at the house with her because she won't use a potty pad, she will tear it up out of anger before she will ever use it. Is there anyway to train to her to use the pad when it is available to her?
I think you will just confuse her by doing this. You're lucky she is housebroken, why take the chance of messing this up. Can't you crate her? She should be able to hold it for the time you are gone, unless she is small and you are gone for over 10 hours.
Who would say that training dogs is one hell of a job? If you own a lot of dogs and if you want to have dogs that can do more than just barking at intruders, then you can play with them in such a way that you can help them learn new tricks. Contrary to the common notion that training dogs is only confined to the breeds that are naturally smart, every dog can now be trained new tricks and every pet owner now has the right to train dogs. How is this possible? This can only be possible through clicker train dogs.
Training dogs will never be this fun and easy with clicker training. You wouldn't really feel that training your dogs because it's just like playing with them. To start off with this kind of training, you need to have a device called the clicker which will be an important tool in this kind of training. If you are used to just asking your dog to do some commands and give your dog something as a reward, you will really find it easy to follow clicker training in teaching your dogs some tricks. Merely asking your dog to do a command and giving the dog a reward is like a hit or miss challenge. You can never be sure whether your dog will do the trick even if you give it a treat because you also can't tell if the dog understands what you're telling it to do. However, with clicker training, you can be assured that your dog understands the click that it is hearing, and it won't give you a hard time when it comes to training your dog and making the dog understand what you want it to do.
With the positive outcome of clicker train dogs, you will really have a great sense of fulfilment that you would always look forward to training your dog. As much as you feel that fulfilment, your dog will also be looking forward to every click because of the treats that it could be getting every time it hears the click coming from you.
