Common Pet Behavior Problem Solving - Potty Training

Whether you adopt a puppy or an older dog, a little training goes a long way toward preserving a happy, healthy relationship. I asked professional dog trainers to share the most prevalent behavior issues, along with tools to address the problem. Here are the top five issues and tips to promote good behavior for the rest of the year.


Lack of potty training


Before addressing any behavior issues, animal trainer Kristen Collins of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) says pet owners should start with a thorough veterinary exam. This helps rule out potential medical conditions. She also recommends watching pets carefully during potty time.




"Most people don't realize they need to supervise in the beginning," she says. "That is one of the biggest ways to develop a good habit. If the option of going inside is not there, it's more likely that -- when you get them outside — they will go."


To reinforce good behavior, reward pets for going in the proper place. Remember, they will make mistakes. While it may be tempting to get frustrated, avoid punishing pets when you find accidents after the fact.




"It's useless," Collins says. "That moment is gone in the animal's brain."
While perfect in almost every way, sometimes cats need remedial potty training, too. Cats may soil outside the litter box to mark their territory. Less than ideal litter box conditions also trigger feline poop protests, Collins says. To correct the issue, make sure that your cat has more than one litter box available. Also, pay attention to what's inside that litter box. Avoid switching litter brands, clean the box frequently and pay attention to the amount of litter inside.


"If the amount is too shallow or too deep, that can turn the cat off," Collins says. "You may need to avoid using linings or box covers if cats are not making it to the box."

Back to School - Shopping for your dogs

While parents spend about $600 a year per child in back-to-school purchases, pet parents will find it far less expensive to outfit their pooch for training classes or doggie day care. But as with any kind of shopping, it pays to research and compare before making your purchasing decisions.
Shop for Training Classes You'll find a wide variety of training classes -- group or private lessons -- held at your home or at a training facility or store. Ask to observe a class before enrolling your dog to ensure that the trainer's style matches your own. A fun atmosphere with positive reinforcement makes the classes enjoyable and rewarding.
Shop for Doggie Day Care Ask to come by and observe a doggie day care, just as you would its human equivalent. Check for references and with the Better Business Bureau before signing up your dog. Some day cares also run special promotions this time of year.
Visit the Vet Call your vet and make sure your dog is current on all vaccinations before enrolling it in a class or day care. You'll also need to ensure that your dog's Bordetella vaccination to prevent kennel cough is current; these are only valid for six months and are required by most training and day care facilities.
Update the ID Tag info While at the vet, you can also have your dog microchipped. Check your pet ID Tag's info is current. An extra safety precaution in case your dog is lost when not in your care.
Stock up on Supplies Talk with your dog trainer before your first lesson to learn what you'll need to bring to class. Some trainers may suggest a harness. Others will steer you toward tools, such as a martingale collar, which prevents the dog from backing out without choking; a head collar, which goes around the neck; and a muzzle, which guides the head. At a minimum, you'll want a collar with identification for your dog. You'll also want a leash, typically a 4-foot, non-retractable model with a wrist loop. Clickers, which produce a quick click to "mark" or identify a successful behavior, are used by many trainers and can be purchased for just a couple of dollars. Finally, training treats are used in many positive-reinforcement classes. Just keep in mind how these amounts will affect your pet's daily food intake, and subtract from other meals accordingly. A little preparation and research can start your school year off on the right paw! Source - The Dog Daily
