The way you clean up your dog's messes can have a huge impact on his
progress and that’s why a whole chapter is devoted to cleaning in the ©Definitive
Guide to Housebreaking a Dog.
First of all, I cannot stress enough the importance of cleaning up thoroughly
ALL your dog’s accidents. A dog’s nose is extremely powerful and only one drop
of urine is enough to prompt a dog to “refresh” the spot. Some of you may have
subscribed to my free tips because they really don’t know how to stop their dog
from soiling their carpet over and over again.
For example, when you clean up after your dog, make sure you always pick up
the mess from the outside to the inside. You want to restrict the area as much
as you can and not expand it.
Here's another tip on this matter: never use a sponge for cleaning up, all
you would do is spread the mess!
If you don't want to clean up at all, or barely, you can always buy a doggy
toilet.
Dog toilets are an excellent idea in many situations. For example, if you
don't have quick access to a grassy area, like if you live in a apartment, you
may want to consider a dog toilet.
What exactly are dog toilets? They are toilets for your dog that have their
own plumbing system and are moveable. The plumbing system helps eliminate odors
and make cleaning up a lot easier. When your dog uses the toilet, the waste
will drop into a water pan. The pan is removable and allows you to clean up
after your dog in the most simple way.
Finally, never use bleach to clean up after your dog. All you will be doing
is making matters worse by concentrating the smell of your dog's urine even
more.
Here's an email I received last week:
Hi
Nathalie,
I have received
and read the document already!!
I found it very easy to read
and very helpful in answering all of my housetraining quetions!
I have 4 children ranging in ages
from 4 years to 12 years besides this cute little Chi, Ruby.
Did I mention that I am a First
grade teacher also!*$#!
I
wanted the dog believe it or not!
I had a Yorkie before, but unfortunately she got killed on the busy
highway in the front of my house:(My family was devastated).
My husband got this puppy for us as
a Christmas gift...of course... I have to do all the training!
I am wanting to train her to her pee pads
because I don't want her to get hit on the road.
I will try to train her to
outside(leash only) when it warms up a bit.
With all this said...I credit your book thus far for our
success!
We're
not perfect, but we are always improving!
Thanks
again,
Lisa
Brown, OH
Tomorrow, you’ll receive tips on how to solve common housebreaking
problems.
Have a good day,
