How to Potty Train a Dog

There are three main ways of how to potty train a dog. If your dog spends a lot of time in a kennel, you can train him to go in a corner so it is in one spot. If you have a fenced in yard and will just let your dog go outside when she needs to go to the bathroom, you can train her to go to the door and let you know when she has to go. The third way is to potty train your dog using a mat. This is very popular with people who live in apartments or who don't have easy access to an outdoor area where the dog can be taken out.

For each type of potty training, you need to show your dog what you want them to do and give them lots of positive reinforcement when they do what you want. You can scold them when they do their business on the floor, but you need to catch them in the act so they know what they are being scolded for.

When you are house training or potty training a dog, remember that you got the dog to love. Your dog will do anything to get your affection and if you use that to your advantage, potty training a dog can be a quick and easy task.
