Housetraining a Toy Breed Puppy Or
Dog Training by PJ 5303 Louie Lane #19, Reno, Nevada 89511 www.dogtrainingybypj.com 775-828-0748 Reference Library Materials © 2008 Dog Training by PJ Tips to Housetrain Your Toy Breed Puppy or Dog What’s the best way to housetrain my toy breed puppy or dog? First – remember consistency when training your toy puppy or dog is a must. Oftentimes people claim housetraining a small dog is more difficult, but usually the reasons for not having success can be easily avoided. Since the dogs are small, often they can get away with potty “every where” because of the mere size of the dog and the relationship of the potty size. If it were a Great Dane, for example, supervision becomes a priority. As owners of the toy dog, we tend to carry them around. You need to allow your toy puppy or dog to walk. For many little dogs, housetraining problems start when they are “finally” put on the ground, then the owner leaves the house and the toy puppy is allowed to roam freely throughout the entire house. Even though you have a toy breed puppy or dog, you will still use “big dog” potty training techniques. However, you need to remember in the winter or when it is cold outdoors, the toy dog loses body heat faster. In colder weather you will need to make them more comfortable to go outdoors and remain long enough to potty; so try a jacket, sweater or coat. Now, taking the toy dog for a walk in the grass can be the equivalent of trying to housetrain them in a jungle. -
