Study Notes

Potty-Training a Dog

When potty-training a dog, it's essential to give a treat when the dog goes to the bathroom outside to positively reinforce good behavior.
The purpose of giving a treat during potty-training is to associate going to the bathroom outside with a reward, encouraging the dog to repeat the behavior.
If a dog has an accident inside during potty-training, the recommended action is to take the dog outside immediately to minimize the chances of the dog thinking it's okay to go to the bathroom inside.
Taking the dog outside immediately after an accident is crucial to help the dog understand that going to the bathroom belongs outside, not inside.
Telling the dog 'no' by clapping after an accident during potty-training is important to distract the dog and interrupt the undesirable behavior, helping the dog to learn what not to do.
