Don’t Let Your Dog Choose

It’s important to not let your dog choose where he should go to the bathroom. In our Choose An Area blog, we explained how your dog will become aware with the area your dog should relieve himself. If you let your dog choose, he will think that he can go to the bathroom wherever he pleases. This is a habit that will be terribly hard to break once it’s set in stone. When you decide on an area that’s perfect for an indoor dog potty, be sure you place your pup’s water bowl, food and toys or chews in the vicinity. This well let your dog know that this is his space of comfort, and that it’s his. This is kind of like crate training, except your dog’s safe place is in the open. Feel free to add a dog bed to the area. Once your dog understands his area, you can gradually increase his area of comfort. Don’t go anywhere just yet!
