Potty Training Puppies Online

Talking to your dog is very important when your training him, no matter if its potty training or teaching him tricks. Using specific words and tones lets the dog know exactly what is expected of him. When your potty training your dog you can use the command “outside?”.

Some dogs will go to the door when they need to go to the bathroom. But this is not as common as lot of people think. Using a command like “outside” can make the dog come to you when he wants to go outside and use the bathroom. I think this is better because it makes you a important part of the process. The dog doesn’t just want to go outside. He wants you to take him outside.

Once you get him outside you can use another command to try and speed up the process. And also let him know exactly what the trip was for. Something like “potty”, “hurry up”, or “do your numbers”. Work pretty well. Also make sure after you have taken your puppy out and he’s done his business you go right back inside. Make it clear that the trip was for the bathroom only. Don’t start playing or take a walk with him.

Finally there is one thing to keep in mind when using verbal cues to potty train your puppy. If you do decide to use outside as your cue then you need to only use it for bathroom breaks. If you are going to take the dog on a walk or go play fetch you do not want to use “outside” as your cue to come outside with you. This way he will respond to outside by knowing its time to go releave himself.
