(NAPS) Dog ownership is on the rise in the U.S. Whether you rescue or use a breeder, one thing all new dog owners have in common is needing to start off on the right paw when it comes to house-training their new pet. House- training isn’t as daunting as it sounds if you set some boundaries and get on a schedule to start. Here are a few pointers to help get you start- ed and get your dog quickly house-trained: • Timing is everything—Puppies do best on a regular schedule. Lead your puppies to the pad frequently, as they will need to relieve themselves at least six times a day. Follow the same path to the pad every time. The process will require your full attention for a few weeks, but the effort you put into it now will last for the rest of your pet’s life. • Dine and dash—If you establish set meal- times, your pets will need to relieve them- selves on schedule as well. Keep tabs on when your dog relieves himself during training. Use that timing to get your dog accustomed to going outside or using the training pads. • Relaxation room—Dogs like their own den, and a proper-sized crate for your dog is all the space it needs for downtime. Have your dog or puppy sleep in the crate at night and when you are not home during training. • Separate spaces—Set up the training pad in a special area away from the crate and food. Today, more owners use potty pad training when Consider using special trays designed to hold they have limited outdoor areas. training pads to keep the pad in place and deter dogs from playing with the training waste every year. While reducing landfill pads. waste, they also maximize absorption, holding • Treat time—Use the same treat every time two times more liquid than leading pad your pet does the right thing during house- brands and using polymer technology to con- training for positive reinforcement.
