Leash and Collar
It’s a good idea to get your dog used to a leash and collar. It would help your dog get used to the idea of wearing the leash and the collar and it can help you control and restrict his movement to the elimination spot when you take the dog out. You can gently yank him back to the potty spot until he understands that he has to do it there and not just anywhere he feels the urge.
Reward Snacks
You need to appreciate the efforts of your dog in his or her endeavor to learn the rules of housetraining. You need to show it with a hug, a game of something special and perhaps a doggie treat. Make sure that you have the appropriate snack that is not loaded with oil and carbohydrates. You can go for doggie biscuits after checking with the vet or even use dried liver or beef
jerky available at most pet stores.
Odor Eliminator
Accidents are bound to happen. The Persian rug is as soft as grass and sometimes the doggy door is too far to reach.Sometimes it’s just bad timing. For such occasions you need a thorough cleanup because if the smell of urine stays, the dog will have an instinctive tendency to sniff his way and repeat the mistake!
Go for a good product that really gets rid of the scent. You can soak up the stuff with newspaper, throw it away and then treat the spot with the odor eliminator to neutralize the smell. You can even mix one part white vinegar to four parts water and
use it as an effective odor remover and cleaner. These are the basic tools you need to have in place before your dog comes home. Don’t wait for your dog to arrive
before setting it all up. Mark out the potty spot and put in the adequate fencing or gates. Put the crate in the designated sleeping area. Stock the odor cleaner and get an appropriate leash and collar depending on the size and age of the puppy or dog you are bringing home.
Dog house
There is nothing evil about the crate.Using a crate to housetrain your dog is a safe and useful option. It can double as the dog’s own personal space as well as a carrier for transporting him from place to place if required. The crate can
serve as a den for your dog and give him a sense of security and a place for you to put him in when you cannot supervise him.
Crates make it easier to train a puppy or a dog because of the fact that when they are in the crate and consider it their den, you can be sure that they will not eliminate inside it. Dogs are clean animals and will never mess up where they sleep. They would be more inclined to use the marked out elimination spot than the crate. Just ensure that the crate is not too big or the dog will begin using one part of it as a toilet! Block one end of the crate leaving just enough room for your dog to turn
around. As your puppy grows, remove the barrier.
