Have you always wondered why a full pet dental cleaning takes hours? 🧐
Dental cleanings at your primary care vet are not just a simple brush of the teeth!
The whole procedure involves anesthesia, X-rays, tarter and plaque removal, and a thorough exam of all dental ligaments, bony structures that form the mouth, gum pockets and more. It’s the only way to reach areas of the teeth and gums where dental disease hides and thrives. Without this annual cleaning, your pet can be at risk of painful and more serious health problems.

1. Create A Potty Log For Your Dog
Being able to predict when your dog is going to next need to relieve themselves is the first essential step in potty training. Write down each time your pup urinates or defecates, including the accidents they have inside the house; it can also be helpful to note down each time you feed them.

2. Form A Bathroom Schedule
After identifying patterns in your dog’s potty log, you can start getting ahead of their accidents, ensuring they are taken outside on a schedule that fits their natural bladder and bowel rhythms. For example, if your pup has had a few accidents soon after their breakfast, make it a routine to take them outside immediately after they finish eating.

3. Use A Crate
Among many other benefits, crate training can be incredibly helpful when housebreaking a dog. Like most animals, dogs do not like to ‘go’ where they sleep, meaning they will be much more willing to hold it while inside their crate.

When using a crate during potty training, make sure you head straight outside as soon as you let your dog out. Try carrying them if their outside potty spot is far enough that an accident could happen on the way! Choose a crate that is not too large and/or has an adjustable size as extra space can provide an additional bathroom spot for them within the crate.

It is imperative that you never use their crate as a source of punishment. This is their “safe space” and not a time-out zone. Always use praise and/or treats to encourage your dog into their crate while they are still adjusting and keep your tone of voice light and positive.

4. Choose A Command Word Or Phrase
Try to pick a command word that they associate with urinating or defecating outside. Keep it simple with something like “Go Potty” or “Do your Business”. Repeat the potty phrase multiple times, every time they are successfully relieving themselves outside. Provide plenty of praise and/or a treat afterwards to help build the association.

5. Provide A Communication Tool For Your Dog
While some dogs are more obvious in their body language when they need to p*e or p**p (e.g., circling, sniffing around, whining, sitting by the door), others may not show any or enough warning. Providing your dog with a clear way to communicate their need to go outside can help trigger your attention much faster.

6. Use Positive Reinforcement
Remember that it is perfectly normal for puppies and older dogs with trauma to have accidents while they are still adjusting to their new home. They never have accidents on purpose and shouldn’t be punished for it; these pups simply lack control over their bladders and need consistency and patience from their human to help gain that control.
