If you have just brought home a Boston Terrier puppy and want to start potty training then consider the methods you are going to use. Most dog training books will recommend that you use the crate method for Boston Terrier potty training. This has become all the rage lately as it taps into the dog’s natural instinct for keeping its den clean and at the same time helps to put the dog into a routine.
When you work as a team your Boston Terrier training will go so much better. No matter what technique you use don’t expect results right away. Any dog training book will tell you that your Boston Terrier potty training may very well take months before it is completely successful. Boston Terriers can also be a little stubborn but they are intelligent creatures and eager to please. Use this in your favor and you will soon find you have potty trained your pet.
The dog needs your discipline and encouragement, without consistency from you Boston Terrier training will go nowhere. Remember not to be harsh with your dog and keep in mind that this process will take time, months probably.
Go through the method you are using with the whole family. Even little ones need to be involved in the process. Make sure that everyone is aware of the commands you are using and that everyone uses the same command. Otherwise you will have one very confused pup on your hands. Your puppy will also realize the importance of its training if everyone is constantly making sure that it goes outside. The family’s cooperation will also make this part of Boston Terrier training much easier.
If you have other dogs in the house use them as an example. Let your puppy follow their lead when you are going through Boston Terrier potty training.
Keep a lead with you so that you can quickly take your puppy outside and avoid accidents. You should also note the times that a puppy is most likely to need to go outside. This will help the process of Boston Terrier potty training a lot.
After playtime or anytime that your puppy is excited, for example when it first sees you, it will need to go. Other times include after naps and a whole night of sleeping as well as after meal times. It can sometimes be annoying because when you take your dog out after these times it does not go but the minute you go back inside it has an accident.
You need to quickly take it outside before an accident occurs. The more times you can get your dog to associate the outdoors as the proper place to eliminate the better your training will go.
