Tiny Breed Dog Toilet Training



Why dog lovers have got this preconceived belief that small breed pups are more difficult to condition than medium sized or large breed dogs, I will never be able to know. Housebreaking a puppy, despite its size should never be a problem.

Small dog training, is no different from training a dog of any other larger sized breed. Although training any puppy will have its peculiarities, related to its breed, practically all other features remain identical, and the approach to training the puppy should stay the same, not withstanding its size.

However, I will make an exception here, and agrree that small dog training may present issues in two arenas, (1) Aggression and (2) Puppy crate training. However, this is not because the size of the dog breed is small, but ten times out of ten, because of the owner.

If a smaller breed dog is aggressive and is difficult to train, or if a smaller breed pup cannot be bathroom trained or poses challenges in being potty trained, it is the owner who has not knowingly contributed to this state of affairs. Let us analyze how and why.

Aggression.

Smaller dogs are loved because they are pretty, they are like playthings. Owners get pleasure from having their puppy sit on their laps. This indulgence is where the trouble commences. The basic aggressive nature of the canine, is to assert ownership over its sector, its food, even its owner; all puppies want to be the alpha dog.

It is the aggressive streak in the puppy that provokes it to get on to the lap of its master, particularly when there are lots of persons seated in the room.

This is a blatant act of aggression. Instead of chiding the pup, every owner with the exception of no one, would cuddle the pup, despite the fact it jumped on to their lap without being asked to, fostering the aggressive streak in the animal. As a result the owner has okayed the pup's inherent need to be the alpha dog.

Growling and getting angry at a bigger dog is another clear act of unwanted anger. To the owner, and even the people nearby, this is looked on as cute, because one dog is tiny while the other is large. Most owners praise the dog instead of checking it, when it displays this aggression towards a larger dog.

These are but examples as to why small puppies are aggressive, and not because small dog training is problematic.

Bathroom Training

Owners have a propensity to haul their small puppies around where ever they are, even at home and that makes it plain difficult to potty train them

It is, as if by instinct that the owners of small breed dogs to carry the animal to the place where the pooch should go to the bathroom and then lug it back into the house.

It is this habit of carrying the dog to the outdoors to poop that is the root of all problems. In addition, as the pup is by and large carried around so much it has no way of it suggesting to or notifying the owner that it has to go the toilet.

Small dog training begins with treating the dog as any other normal dog. They have to be shown their potty area on a leash. If owners avoid carrying their small sized dogs they would have no troubles in training them.

Dog crate training, is the most exciting part of pup training, and so it should be, even in Small Dog Training.
