Remember the unlimited articles I discussed in the very first post? about half of them were associated to potty training. The gist of the articles integrated was consistency, routine, managed water intake, as well as unlimited potty breaks, so that’s what we set out to do.
Our plan was to take Leo out promptly after meals as well as about every hour that he was awake. each time we took him out, we set him in the exact same potty area so he would odor his own scent as well as get rid of there again. As soon as he would eliminate, we would provide him a treat as well as rather actually throw a party. If anybody would’ve have told me a few months back I would jump for delight as well as applaud when my puppy squatted, I would’ve laughed at the believed of it. Well, right here I am now, cheering, “Good boy, Leo! We are SO happy of you!”
A major difficulty (other than the truth that our entire house is carpeted) we have in taking Leo out is the length of the walk from our front door to Leo’s potty spot. We online smack dab in the middle of our house building on the top floor, implying the farthest house from the elevator. Awesome, right? since of that, we bring Leo from our house as well as don’t set him down up until we are at the potty spot. He doesn’t seem to mind. I believe he likes being in our arms. We’ll see exactly how this goes as he puts on the pounds.
When inside, we viewed Leo like a hawk. He didn’t leave our sight, unless he was in the crate. If we were in the living room, we would blockade him in with us so we might get him if he was about to squat, as well as as a method to get him utilized to his leash, we would likewise keep him tethered to us if we were in the kitchen area or elsewhere.
We should be truly lucky with Leo because, so far, potty training hasn’t truly been the headache some articles as well as people made it seem to be (I’m knocking on wood as I type this!). Of program we’ve had accidents, however not an exhausting amount.
Look out for Leo vs Potty training Pt. 2 in the next few weeks!
