Whether you are new to owning dogs or you consider yourself to be a pro at it, whenever you bring a new dog into the picture, potty training can be a messy task if it is not done properly. And this is as true with Siberian Husky potty training as it is with any other dog. The first thing to do is to decide where you will want your new friend to relieve him or herself.
Think about if you are crate training or where exactly the dog will stay while you are away. Also consider how long of a time are you going to be leaving the dog alone. If you are going to be gone eight or twelve hours a day, insisting that they hold it until you arrive home is not only mean but it can hurt your bond with the dog because when they have accidents, which they will, you will be upset and that is the last thing your dog wants.
Once you have thought everything through, your Siberian Husky potty training can begin. If you have decided that they should use the potty inside the home, I suggest picking up some of those nice disposable potty training pads. These pads are often given a hint of scent to attract the dog and make them want to go potty there. You may have noticed that your puppy is having accidents, which is to be expected, but what you may want to catch onto is where these accidents are occurring.
Is there a special place that your puppy is always going to in order to go potty? Even if this is not the ideal location for a puppy pee pad, you will want to place one there, in order to grab their attention and leave it in that spot until he or she begins to use it. Then, slowly over a few days, begin to move the pad in the direction of where you want it to be. Eventually, the puppy will be going exactly where you want him or her to go.
Now, on the other hand, you may have thought Siberian Husky potty training through and through and have come to the decision that you are home enough that your dog can use the potty outside. And while this is a great way, you may have seen that your puppy, through no fault of its own, has had accidents in the home. A great way to go about training your dog to go outside is by crate training.
Whenever you cannot watch your dog, place him or her in a crate and as soon as you bring them out, take them outdoors until they go potty. Once they do, praise him or her greatly and then bring them in. After enough repetition, your pup will begin to understand that outside is the place for going potty and you will see that Siberian Husky potty training is not all that bad and not as hard as you may have once thought it was going to be.
As with any type of Siberian Husky training, there needs to be a lot of consistency and patience on the part of the owner and it is no different with potty training. The tips provided for Siberian Husky potty training are ones that can also be found in many different dog training books as these are proven techniques.
