Toy Breeds can have special problems in housetraining. Think of your Toy Breed as a dog and not as a baby or as part human. Have the same expectations of your dog as you would if it were a Golden Retriever or Great Dane.
While Housetraining a Toy Dog make sure:• The grass is kept very short if you take him outdoors to eliminate.
• He feels safe when he is eliminating outside with no large dog around.
• To practice indoor elimination if the weather is cold outside.
• You use a schedule and stick to it.
• To attach a leash when he is out of his crate or keep a watch over him
Some of the Toy Dogs are: Chihuahua, Yorkshire Terrier, Pug, Maltese, Miniature Pinscher, Papillon, Pekingese, Pomeranian etc
Whatever breed you have you will need to keep a constant eye on your dog, until your pet is fully housebroken. Watch your dog carefully. Try to comprehend his body language. For this you need to spend more time with your pet. Observe his movements closely. Watch what he does just prior to peeing or pooping?
If you notice your puppy is suddenly walking or running around in circles with his nose down smelling for the perfect spot – it means, your dog needs to eliminate. The puppy will show the same behavior every time. It may vary a little from pup to pup but they always show their own pre-potty pattern before the act.
If your dog goes to the door and comes back and looks directly at you, take him to his potty place. This way you can handle and avoid accidents.
There are other effective signals you can teach your dog so that you understand your dog needs to potty.
Remember, though, to be consistent with praising your dog when he eliminates correctly.
I am sure no one fancies seeing himself picking up the poop after his dog, soaking up stains or removing odors...that too everyday. No one sees himself getting exhausted trying to housebreak his erratic dog and surely no one could ever imagine a scenario where he has to give away his dog as he's unable to fix potty training problems...
But, in reality, almost every dog owner goes through a phase of cleaning up messes, constantly keeping watch over their pups, or returning home to... that odor!!And needless to say, if you, by chance, use the wrong methods or techniques, you may have to live with the mess and the stress of a non-housetrained dog for years...
