Potty Train Your ๐Ÿถ In Less Than 3 Weeks With These 5 Tips ๐Ÿ‘‡

1๏ธโƒฃ INDOOR LEASHES

Have ๐Ÿ• 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๏ธโƒฃ 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 ๐Ÿ• as well as teaches leash skills in which they learn to FOLLOW you.

3๏ธโƒฃ 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 ๐Ÿ• can SLEEP. Dogs need 14-18= hours per day to feel at their best!

OR - have your ๐Ÿ• rest/sleep on a dog bed/cot

4๏ธโƒฃ WALKING SCHEDULE

For a ๐Ÿ• 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๏ธโƒฃ STRUCTURE

When we schedule the day that ๐Ÿ• can reliably predict, they feel calmer which = less decisions they need to make = less behaviors to worry about.

"Place" is so important to teach dogs because it eases anxiety (pacing + barking out the window for example) + it also teaches independence (separation anxiety prevention)! Pack Leader Dog Psychology & Behavior

I couldn't have said this better!

I often get asked, โ€œWhich piece of equipment will stop my dog from pulling on the lead?โ€

The answer is straightforward: unless you resort to aversive (positive punishment-based) methods that cause immediate pain and/or discomfort, and potentially create an avoidance of pulling, no equipment alone will stop your dog from pulling on the lead.

Equally, no equipment alone will teach your dog to pull on the lead either.

โ€ผ๏ธItโ€™s your actions that teach your dog how to behave on the leadโ€ผ๏ธ

If they pull and you follow, youโ€™re reinforcing the behaviour.

YOU are teaching them the VALUE in pulling.

By following them when they pull, you are teaching them that pulling is the FASTEST way to get what they want.

Additionally, when you consider that humans walk slowly and in straight lines, while dogs often walk faster and in more erratic patterns, it makes perfect sense why they so often pull on the lead.

To stop your dog from pulling on the lead, you need to reduce the reward they get from pulling and instead reward the behaviour you want.

This is achieved by teaching your dog the value of following you.
