Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Puppy Potty Training
Why does my puppy sometimes urinate whenever he meets new people or stranger dogs?
If your puppy releases a small amount of urine whenever he meets new people or dog, it is a sign that he is anxious to make a good first impression. This is your puppy’s way of being polite and submissive. Do not punish your puppy for this behaviour. To lessen the likelihood of excitable urination, ask strangers to greet your puppy in a calm manner.
What are the signals that your dog needs to go potty?
These are tell-tale signs that your puppy is feeling the urge to eliminate:
·Puppy circling and sniffing the floor anxiously
·Puppy suddenly stops what he is doing and walks away
·Puppy starts to pace around restlessly
·Puppy starts spinning in circle with a slight hunch
·Puppy starts sniffing and acts interested in a spot where he has previously had a house training accident.
My puppy eats his own faeces. How can I overcome this problem?
The condition when a dog eats his own faeces is known as coprophagy.
There are two ways to overcome this problem.
First, you can train your puppy or dog to overcome this problem. Watch him closely when he is walking in the garden or on the road. Use the “leave” command when your puppy is looking at the offending object. Call “come” and command “sit” and reward your puppy when he responds correctly. Also, give a firm “no” if he is about to eat the offending object. Your dog will soon learn that this behaviour does not pay off.
Secondly, coprophagy may be a symptom that your puppy is eating too fast or gobbling down his food. The faeces that he eliminates are not optimally digested and are still nutrient rich. There may be a natural tendency for the puppy to try and eat his own faecal waste. Unfortunately, there are few solutions to this problem but recently there is an innovative dog bowl that effectively helps dogs to slow down in their eating
