Paper training your dog -
common problems and solutions

Paper training your dog - What exactly is it?

Whenever you are paper training a dog you’re going to have to teach it: where to eliminate (pee or poop) and to only eliminate on newspapers that you gather up and throw away after use.

Training Methods

• Feed her at specific, scheduled times. This encourages your dog to develop an “elimination timetable”.

• Praise the puppy a lot whenever you see her eliminating on the paper. Wait until she’s done then praise her, pet her, and give her a treat.

• If you catch the puppy in the act of eliminating off the papered area interrupt her with a clap or loud verbalization (“Ah-ah-aaaah!”) scoop her up immediately and put her on the papered area. When she finishes, praise her again.

If you come across an accident after the fact clean it up and supervise her more carefully. If this happens a lot, then you’ve given your dog too much freedom in the house and not enough supervision: step back, restrict her access to the unpapered floor, and provide more supervision.
