Potty Train Your ๐ถ In Less Than 3 Weeks With These 5 Tips ๐
1๏ธโฃ INDOOR LEASHES
Have ๐ on a LEASH dragging behind them *inside* the home so you can pick the leash up + redirect them back to a dog bed which is called PLACE TRAINING.
2๏ธโฃ TETHERING
Attach the handle of the leash to your belt clip (or get a cross body leash so you can be hands free) so that you can do your housework under direct supervision.
Doing this also helps create a positive relationship with your ๐ as well as teaches leash skills in which they learn to FOLLOW you.
3๏ธโฃ CLOSED CRATE or PLACE
In between walks, less freedom prevents accidents aka playing is minimal so consider crating in a separate room (preferably away from your work area) so you can get things done without distraction so your ๐ can SLEEP. Dogs need 14-18= hours per day to feel at their best!
OR - have your ๐ rest/sleep on a dog bed/cot
4๏ธโฃ WALKING SCHEDULE
For a ๐ peace of mind, they need a minimum of 3 walks per day (before work, lunch break, and after work) for at least 20-30 minutes per day.
If 2 walks is all you can schedule in then mix it up with backyard time.
5๏ธโฃ STRUCTURE
When we schedule the day that ๐ can reliably predict, they feel calmer which = less decisions they need to make = less behaviors to worry about.
