Toilet training as part of your new dog training

By Mark B

New dog training, obedience training, and toilet training can be difficult,  but can also be very rewarding.

Nobody enjoys coming downstairs first thing in the morning to find that your new dog has left a little (or large!) calling card on the living room floor or in the kitchen.

And don’t forget it is not just puppies or dogs newly introduced to a household that can have problems with toilet training. Adult dogs who have lived with you for several years can also develop problems, or keep the bad habbits from when they are young.

Dog toilet training can be something you may have to do with any dog of any age, some dogs just don’t learn as quickly as others or have other underlying problems that you need to identify. You need to become the dog trainer for your own dog.

Find the  best way to toilet train YOUR new dog

How to identify the best way to toilet train YOUR dog, or discover any underlying problems that he may have, can be very tricky. Many of the popular stories of how to punish dogs for fouling, or shouting to show displeasure, are just plain wrong. Toilet training for your dog is something you need to learn how to do in a more effective manner.

I have had many dogs over the years, and faced different challenges with each one of them. I spent lots of money and time toilet training and obedience training my dogs, I used dog training aids, obedience collars, I joined a dog training club, and still didn’t get everything right with most of them.

Now, with my current dog, I have ironed out the problems and have a happy and well trained dog as part of my family. I did this by following advice that I wish I had found many years ago! This has been the first time I have properly understood the dog mentality and this makes training so much easier.

Get your new dog training right and you and your dog will be much happier. Grab a copy of the information I used from the link below.

Being the pack leader is key to new dog training

By Mark B

Dogs are naturally pack animals. You have to understand that major point before you even consider new dog training.

When you bring that puppy or older dog from the rescue place back home don’t assume they will settle right in and just become a family member and obey the family rules. What the dog will be looking for right away is the pack structure. Who is the pack leader?  Where is the dog’s place in the pecking order? What are the rules that the pack leader insists on?

New dog starts at the bottom of the pack

Your new dog will be happy enough to understand that he is at the bottom of the pack order, it isn’t a problem to the dog,  he just wants to understand where his place is and he will be happy enough there.

Establish the pack order early on, and make sure the dog understands that you, or whoever else will be primarily responsible for his training, is the pack leader to be followed. When that is established it will make your new dog training much easier and quicker.

How you establish who is leader doesn’t have to be complicated, and it doesn’t need to involve any shouting or punishments. Dogs will often get the opposite message to the one you are trying to give them if you do not understand the way they think.

The quickest and easiest way I have found, after many years of mistakes with various dogs, is in a new dog training guide written by Dove Cresswell. She has appeared on TV and is one of the most popular and famous dog trainers in the world. Her guide is simplicity itself and will make your life so much easier, and your dog’s life so much happer.

I have included a link to Dove’s website below:
