Potty-training your Dog.

Despite intelligent and obedient pets, your dog needs consistent frequency.Because they’re relatively small animals you’d be making plenty of trips outside when potty-training.Watch your puppy keenly in the first few days.When he signals needing to poop, take him outside to the place you’ve choosen as his poop place.Repeat your potty word while the dog is peeing or pooping and pet him for doing so.After some time your dog begins to associate the command with eliminating.When the dog poofs in the house accidentally, take him out to the place in the yard you’ve designated for defecating and be stern with your command.

Leash your dog to stay in control.The leash keeps your dog in place.

Stay calm and confident especially when there are other dogs around.Your dog imitates your behavior.If you’re unperturbed, you dog feels the same way, too.That reassures your dog and makes bullying the other dog unnecessary.
