House Breaking in Brisbane Made Easy

You saw that puppy, and all you could think about was how warm and cuddly he or she was. A friend for life: someone to greet you or your children, and someone who would endlessly appreciate all that you did. Then you got home — and within a couple of days remembered the agony of housebreaking a puppy on a limited schedule. Relax; your experience isn’t ruined. You just need some tips and tools like dog doors. Brisbane residents get great results from the tips here.

Timing is everything

Puppies have small digestive systems, so it doesn’t take long for the process to end. Wait about 15-20 minutes after eating and then take the puppy outside. As soon as the puppy completes his or her mission, go crazy with the praise. Avoid treats, because then you have to start the process all over. Feeding on a schedule also helps, because the puppy then develops an outdoor schedule as well.

Use a crate

Dogs don’t like to use their personal space as a bathroom. Crate training helps your pup learn how to control his or her needs. Let the pup outside as soon as they come out of the crate.

Install a dog door

When you want to make house training easy on your pet, look to dog doors. Brisbane pets do much better when they don’t have to rely on someone to let them out. You may have to show your pet how to use the door the first couple of times. After that, “accidents” almost never happen.

Once you do these few things, your dog will be almost maintenance free, and you can just sit back and enjoy his or her company!
