Litter Traing Your New Puppy
Puppy house training, which includes litter training, is one of
the first things we all must do with our new pets. That is,
unless we are lucky enough to get a pet that has already been
housebroken! Along with housebreaking puppies some people must
also litter train their new dogs. Why?
With most families working during the day the puppy will
probably be left alone for hours at a time. When we talk about
litter training we mean training our puppy to use paper to do
their business, or better yet, to use special dog papers to
potty on when we are absenst. If the propewr procedures are
followed this part of housebreaking your pet is fairly easy to
do. It will also substanially speed up the total puppy house
training job.
If you are keeping your puppy confined to a specified area
during the day, which we strongly suggest, then the "den" effect
will work in your favor. You see - dogs naturally have an
instinct to keep their dens clean and do their buisness
elsewhere - outside their den, or living, area!
The best way to do this type of litter training is to use
specially treated litter training papers. These can be found at
any good dog supply store. We have tried lots of them from the
grocery store and places like Wal-Mart and Pet Smart.
Unfortunately these cheaper products just don't work nearly as
well as the better products you can find from the Pet Specialty
stores. The best ones we have found are from Pet Care Central.
The pads they carry are absolutely great for house breaking
puppies, the indoor, or stay at home dogs, the senior dogs, and
the incontinent or ailing dogs. These pads feature an extra
thick top layer that's 50% thicker than other pads, like those
cheap ones you find at the grocery store or Wal-Mart.
They will resist scratches and tears three times greater than
those "cheap" pads too. These particular pads even have built-in
"Dispose-Ties" that make transporting the soiled pads to the
garbage easy and hassle free - without getting the mess on your
hands or clothing - which is a feature that those cheap pads
don't have. Another big advantage is that these pads have the
scent of fresh cut, natural grass to teach your pet to "go"
outside even faster, while the embedded pheromones quickly
attract dogs to the pads. Just type "Dog House breaking Pads",
in the search box, and it will take you right to the page where
they are listed.
Since these pads have special phremones embedded in them it will
attract and encourage your pet to use them easier. These
phremones also have the scent of fresh grass which trains your
dog to use the grass when you do take them outside.
If you follow these tips you AND your dog will be happier and
your puppy house training will go much, much faster. You can
take my word for it. My wife and I have been there and done
that. No we don't have the T-Shirt to prove it but we have
certainly earned it!
