As you know, one of the most exciting thing that most dog lovers can imagine bringing home a Lhasa Apsos for the first time.
Unfortunately, this excitement often wears off quickly when the new little addition to the family begins using the house as a bathroom area.
Potted TrainingFortunately that with a little consideration and understanding of some of the basic principles of potty training a Lhasa Apso, it is easily and simply teach your Lhasa Apso this very important issue.
There are some points to remember when planning or starting your potty training routine. Whichever method you choose to use, there will be casualties. Plan for them, accept them and move forward with as little fuss and negative actions or punishment towards the puppy as possible.
Usually, with all puppies, accidents are caused by very small bladders and bowels and poor control of their bodies develop, very similar to young human children in reality.
Avoid Penalty Your Lhasa Apso
Avoid punishing or reprimanding your puppy for an accident, as it will probably be more a fault of the owner for not taking the puppy to the potty area soon enough. Learn from mistakes and keep notes on when the puppy has accidents.
Try to see if there is a pattern develops that may assist you in training, instead of becoming frustrated with the Lhasa Apso. Virtually every puppy wants to make his or her owner happy, and this can be used as an effective motivator in potty training even young puppies.
The Older Dog
Mature Lhasa Apsos that are house broken and potty trained for the first time will also have accidents, until they understand what you want. Again, patience and a positive attitude will help the educational process.
Remember that dogs are not aware of the value of antique rugs or wall-to-wall carpeting, but they tend to relieve themselves where they feel they should - usually somewhere out on the road, just behind the sofa or in the corner behind the potted plant palm.
Is there anything We can do to help?
Yes, there are many things that pet owners can do to make the process of potty training easy for their new dog or puppy.
Good planning, an understanding of the potty training method to be used, plus other factors such as high quality food, plenty of exercise, attention and love can all have an influence on the time it takes to potty train your Lhasa Apso.
Finally, each dog is somewhat different in personality and temperament. Some puppies and dogs seem to almost potty train themselves where others, even from the same litter, may require additional training but will soon learn what is expected.
Which method should We use for Potty Training My Lhasa Apso?
Well, there are several different potty training methods that can be used for your Lhasa Apso.
Decide on the best potty training method is important and depends largely on the age of the dog, the time you have to interact with a dog or puppy, your living area, and what method you are most comfortable with.
Some of the potty training methods encourage your Lhasa Apso to use an outside area to relieve themselves, while others focus on the area where your puppy or dog uses inside the house - using the litter boxes, potty training pads or 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 they sleep clean and free of waste.
In nature, that it is kept clean by the mother while the puppies are small. As they get older and are able to walk, they naturally go outside of the living area or to relieve themselves.
In houses, there are no caves, and the area is simply too large for puppies to feel that it is "their spot".
By offering a cave, in the form of a crate, your puppy will learn to wait until he or she is taken outside before soiling in the box.
Crate training requires active participation and control on the part of the dog's owner.
The following is an overview of how to complete a cashier training routine:
* Buy an appropriate size box, either plastic or wire that is large enough for your Lhasa Apso to stand and stretch out comfortably.
* Ensure that the boxes are comfortable - use soft, washable liners or dog blankets.
* Sit with your Lhasa Apso at the door of the box. Place a small treat inside the box. Praise your puppy to go into banks and get treatment. Let the puppy come out when they will not close the door at this time.
* Only praise for going in the box, ignore the puppy when he or she is on the way out.
* Once your Lhasa Apso enters the box say "Crate" or "On" or whatever word you want to associate with going into the coffers.
* Once your Lhasa Apso is staying in the box on their own to eat treats, close the door for a few seconds, then open it up again. Only praise when the dog goes in, never when it's exciting. Soon, the dog is aware of the good, out is neutral.
* After the puppy or dog is fine with being in the box in more than a few minutes, put a chew toy in with them to keep it occupied. Try very slowly and gradually increase your distance from the box and the time in the box with the door closed.
* Since the puppy or dog will generally not eliminate when they are in the box, because it is their cave, take them outside to eliminate when they come out of the box.
* After feeding, the puppy box with a chew toy. In approximately 10-15 minutes to take him out of the boxes, and that the designated toilet area. Do not play or interact with your puppy at this time, just take them instead.
* If your puppy relieves itself, praise the puppy and spend some time interacting. If, after about 3-5 minutes the puppy has not toileted, return it to the cashier, again without saying anything, for a further five minutes. Repeat the process without interacting with the puppy until it goes to the toilet. Praise and play always follow toileting while crate training.
* At night, keep the boxes in the bedroom or somewhere that you can easily hear the puppy. If he or she will whine, take them to the toilet area and return them to the box with as little interaction as possible. Just a simple "Good Girl" or boy will do when they toilet.
Too much praise will be perceived as a player, and may encourage the puppy to whine throughout the night. Do not forget that the boxes are only used until Potty Training is under control, not forever!
What are some advantages of using a crate?
The benefits that the boxes education include the fact that it uses the puppies or dogs natural instincts to help with the learning process. This minimizes the risk of messes and accidents around the house, when done properly. In addition, your puppy feel safe and they can understand what is required in a relatively short time.
What are some disadvantages of using a crate?
Cons fund training for a Lhasa Apso are few but the biggest is that it only works if the trainer monitors the puppy closely while the box, and follows the attention / inattention guidelines.
Some owners may believe that funds education is cruel, but it is simply not true. When people understand the fund is not used as a punishment but as a safe and secure place for your puppy, they change their opinion quickly.
