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.
