Yes, the comment ”I need you to come and toilet train my dog for me” is something I have heard many many times. Lucky for us trainers most dog owners are reasonable with their pets but there’s is a small portion of people out there who simply do not understand the dog’s point of view. So here are a few facts of toilet training:
1. It is a human concept and must be trained through efficient management and active daily training.
2. It takes weeks, NO ONE can toilet train your dog for you within a single training session. If you wish this to be done for you, you will need to either book long term boarding (weeks!) or hire a live-in assistant to help you with this (once again: for weeks!).
3. Toilet training is easy when you simply understand the dog’s point of view and set them up for success! If you do not want to do this or do not have time for it, don’t get a puppy!
