Paper training your dog -
|
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.
