There could be a number of reasons why your four-month-old dog is not potty trained. Perhaps you have not been consistent with your training methods, or maybe your dog is simply not ready to be potty trained yet.
The first step in potty training your dog is to establish a routine. You should take your dog outside to relieve himself immediately after waking up, after eating, and after playing. If you catch your dog in the act of relieving himself indoors, immediately say “no” and take him outside.
Be sure to reward your dog when he successfully goes outside to relieve himself. You can give him a treat, or simply praise him. This will help reinforce the behavior you want him to exhibit.
If you are consistent with your training methods and your dog is still not potty trained, it is possible that he may simply not be ready for potty training yet. Puppies usually reach the point of being able to be potty trained around four or five months of age. If your dog is older than five months and is not yet potty trained, you may want to consult a professional trainer for help.
Dog Potty Training Tools
There is a wide variety of dog potty training tools on the market today. Some people swear by them and others think they are a waste of money. Which tool you decide to use is up to you, but here is a brief description of the most popular ones.
Pee Pads- pee pads are absorbent pads that you place in an designated potty area for your dog. When your dog has to go, they will go on the pad. Pee pads are a great option for apartment dwellers or people who live in cold climates where it is difficult to take your dog outside to potty.
Housebreaking Sprays- housebreaking sprays are a liquid that you spray in the areas where you don’t want your dog to potty. When your dog goes to potty in that spot, they will get a whiff of the unpleasant smelling spray and will likely avoid going there in the future.
Poop Scoops- poop scoops are exactly what they sound like- a scoop for picking up your dog’s poop. This is a must have for anyone who is potty training their dog, as you will need to clean up their messes until they are fully trained.
Training Treats- training treats are a great way to reward your dog for going potty in the right spot. Choose a treat that is low in calories and high in protein so that it will help to reinforce the behavior.
Now that you know a little bit about the different dog potty training tools on the market, you can decide which one is best for you and your pup. Remember, it is important to be patient and consistent with your dog during this process, and with a little bit of time and effort, you will have a potty trained dog in no time!
Dog Spray To Potty Train
There are a lot of products on the market that promise to help potty train your dog. But which one is the best?
One option is to use a dog spray to potty train. This product is a spray that is applied to the ground in the area where you want your dog to pee or poop. The spray contains a scent that will encourage your dog to go to the bathroom in that spot.
There are a few things to keep in mind when using a dog spray to potty train. First, you need to make sure that you are using the correct spot. You don’t want to spray the spray in an area where your dog is likely to chew on it or where it will get into its eyes.
Also, make sure to reward your dog for going to the bathroom in the correct spot. This will help to reinforce the behavior.
If you are looking for an easy way to potty train your dog, using a dog spray may be the right option for you.
How To Train Dog On Potty Pads
If you have a new puppy, potty pads can be a lifesaver. Here’s how to train your dog to use them:
1. Start by placing a potty pad in an area where your dog spends a lot of time.
2. Show your dog where the potty pad is and encourage him to use it by giving him a treat or verbal praise.
3. If your dog goes to the bathroom on the pad, praise him and give him a treat.
4. If your dog doesn’t go to the bathroom on the pad, gently guide him to the pad and encourage him to use it.
5. Be patient and consistent – it may take a few days for your dog to get the hang of using the potty pad.
If you have an older dog who isn’t potty trained, you can also use potty pads to help train him. Start by placing a potty pad in an area where your dog spends a lot of time. Show your dog where the potty pad is and encourage him to use it by giving him a treat or verbal praise. If your dog goes to the bathroom on the pad, praise him and give him a treat. If your dog doesn’t go to the bathroom on the pad, gently guide him to the pad and encourage him to use it. Be patient and consistent – it may take a few days for your dog to get the hang of using the potty pad.
Hot To Potty Train Your Dog
There are a few things you need to do before you can start potty training your dog. You will need to have a crate, some patience, and some treats.
The first step is to get your dog comfortable with the crate. Put a few treats in the crate and let your dog go in and out of the crate on its own. Once your dog is comfortable going in and out of the crate, you can start to close the door for a few minutes at a time. Gradually increase the amount of time the door is closed.
The next step is to start taking your dog outside to the potty spot. When your dog does something potty outside, give it a treat. If your dog doesn’t go potty, take it back inside and put it in the crate for a little while.
Be patient and consistent with your dog and it will eventually learn to potty outside.
