It is easy to litter box train a dog. Many pet people do not look forward to potty training. These days it is almost as easy as a litter box for a cat. There are a few things to know before training your dog. You need to know your dogs level of training and any bad habits they have developed. Always know that a dogs ability to be trained sometimes is decided by breed. A variety of breeds are extremely easy to train while others are not as compliant and harder to train. Some dogs may require a little more discipline but they can be trainable.

Lets begin with litter box training dogs with the indoor potty system itself. The Ugodog dog litter box is made of sturdy material that can handle a respectable amount of weight. What separates this litter box apart from different systems is that its top grates are uniquely designed to be kind to sensitive doggy paws. The way the grates are designed is specific as to not cut into the bottom of the paw pads. Also, the grate holes are tiny enough so that even the tiniest dogs will not get their paws trapped. The grates also are two separate pieces to allow for easier clean up. This system is environmentally friendly, durable, low cost and no replacement parts needed! That is why this is my pet potty pick.

Age always needs to be considered when trying to potty train your dog. That said, even older dogs can be trained to use dog litter boxes. You do not need expensive supplies for this system to work. You can use pee pads underneath the grates but this can be expensive and makes the product less of a green products. Newspaper is a much better choice. Once the dog is trained to use the system, you do not even need newspaper. You can just dump the urine at the end of the day in the toilet and discard any poo that is on top of the grates.

Training tips as easy as 1-2-3:

1) Place the dog litter box in a spot where your pooch is use to going on pee pads or if they are use to going outside, put it in a convenient area.
2) Use a paper towel or newspaper that is soaked with you dogs own urine and place it underneath the grates.
3) When your dog needs to go take them to the litter box and they will recognize their own scent and start using the potty very quickly!

Do not use negative reinforcement with your dog when training them. Use the same words repeatedly that you use to command them to go potty. Do not be discourage if your dog has a few accidents at first. If this happens, when you clean up the accident use that urine soaked paper towel to put under the grate and take your dog over to litter box following an accident. The Ugodog indoor dog potty will make your life and your dogs life simpler. No more wet paws or torn up pee pads. Do not forget that furry little friend still need exercise. So do not eliminate walks.
