What method Should I Use To Potty Training My Lhasa Apso?

Well, there are several different potty training methods that can be used for a Lhasa Apso.

Deciding on the best potty training method is important and depends a lot on the age of the dog, the time that you have to interact with the dog or puppy, your living area, and what method you are mostfortable with.

Some of the potty training methods encourage your Lhasa Apso to use an outside area to relieve themselves, whereas others focus on containing the area the puppy or dog uses inside of the house by the use of litter boxes, potty training pads or even newspapers.

Here, we will cover one popular method, Crate Training.

CRATE TRAINING

Crate training is one of the most effective ways to potty train a Lhasa Apso as it uses the natural denning instinct of the dog to encourage it to keep the area that it sleeps clean and free from waste materials.

In the wild, the den is kept clean by the mother while the puppies are young. Once they get older and are able to walk, thier natural instinct is to go outside of the living area or den to relieve themselves.

In houses there are no dens, and the area is simply too large for puppies to feel that this is their spot.

By providing a den, in the form of a crate, the puppy will learn to wait until he or she is taken outside before soiling in the crate.

Crate training requires active participation and monitoring on the part of the dog owner.

Following is an outline of how toplete a crate training routine

* Purchase an appropriately sized crate, either plastic or wire, that is large enough for your Lhasa Apso to stand and stretch outfortably.

* Make sure the crate isfortable use soft, washable liners or dog blankets.

* Sit with your Lhasa Apso at the door of the crate. Place a small treat inside the crate. Praise the puppy for going into the crate and getting the treat. Let the puppye out whenever he or she wants, leave the door open at this time,http://bbscp.xjwa.net/home.php?mod=space&uid=219648&do=blog&id=11391.

* Only praise for going in the crate, ignore the puppy when he or she ising out.

* When your Lhasa Apso walks into the crate say Crate or Den or whatever word you wish to associate with going into the crate.

* When your Lhasa Apso is staying in the crate on its own to eat the treats, close the door for a few seconds, then open it up again. Only praise when the dog goes in, never when it is exiting. Soon the dog realizes in is good, out is neutral.

* After the puppy or dog is fine with being in the crate for more than a few minutes, put a chew toy in with the dog to keep it occupied. Try very slowly and gradually increasing your distance away from the crate, and the time in the crate with the door closed.

* Since the puppy or dog will generally not eliminate when they are in the crate because it is their den, take them outside to eliminate when theye out of the crate.

* After feeding, crate the puppy with a chew toy. In about 1015 minutes take the puppy out of the crate and to the designated toilet area. Do not play or interact with the puppy at this time,http://www.boss38.com/ucenter8/space.php?uid=51198&do=blog&id=247521, simply take them to the spot.

* If the puppy relieves itself, praise the puppy and spend some time interacting. If, after about 35 minutes the puppy has not toileted, return it to the crate, again without saying anything, for an additional five minutes. Repeat the process without interacting with the puppy until it goes to the bathroom. Praise and play always follow toileting while crate training.

* At night, keep the crate in the bedroom or somewhere that you can easily hear the puppy. If he or she whines, take them to the toilet area and return them to the crate with as little interaction as possible. Just a simple good girl or boy will do when they toilet.

Too much praise will be seen as play, and may encourage the puppy to whine throughout the night. Remember though, the crate is only to be used until Potty Training is under control, not forever!
