Dog diapers???

Nov 01, 2007 by lapajamas | Posted in Dogs

How can I convince my mom that dog diapers are not the best option for potty training our dog?
She says she wants absolutely no accidents on the carpeting if she can avoid it. I'd rather crate train. What do you say?

Definitely crate train. It's the fastest and easiest way.

Diapers are for human babies, not dogs. They can create a whole mess of health issues for the dogs, not to mention the expense and hassles associated with them.

And, there's no guarantee, even with diapers, that the dog won't have an accident once the diaper is gone.

A diaper will not teach the dog to go outside, it will just prevent the mess from hitting the carpeting. Therefore, you would never be able to trust the dog, for the next 15 or so years, and have to deal with diapers for that length of time - I doubt your mom would want to do that.

Definitely crate train:

First and foremost, when you cannot watch the dog, i.e., at night or when you are not home, the dog needs to be confined to a crate or very small area. A dog will not soil their “home”, as they don’t want to be near it, either!

As soon as you get home, or when you get up in the morning, put the dog on leash, and walk them outside to a spot where you want them to go. Always go to the same area. This will become their potty spot, and will make things a lot easier for clean up. As you go outside with them, tell them to “go potty”. They will soon learn what this means, which will help in the long run.

As soon as they go outside where they are supposed to, a lot of praise, petting, and an occasional treat. This will reinforce that you are happy with them. Do this praise immediately, as a dog’s attention span is very short and if you wait, they will be happy you are praising them, but they will not know why you are praising them.

If the dog makes a mistake and goes in the house –
If you are there and see them start to go, tell them “no” in a firm voice, immediately take them outside to their potty spot.
If you do not see them actually in the act, then do nothing. Scolding the dog after the fact will not teach them, as they will not remember what they did and will not know why you are angry.

Do not give the dog food or water within 2 hours of bed time.
Get the dog on a schedule as soon as possible for feeding and potty times. The dog’s internal system will soon learn this schedule and they will be able to wait until their scheduled time.

Do not be shocked if your pet leaves his traces all round the home despite the constant toilet coaching that you have given him. No kind of grooming and coaching can make sure that your pet follows everything precisely how you have taught him. That’s the fact that dog’s diapers are in demand nowadays. Dog nappies are one of the most significant and must have dog’s accessories. If your dog suffers from the issue of exorbitant urination then these nappies are a requirement for them.

These nappies become more necessary if you have female dogs that are in heat. The market is flooded with diverse forms of dog’s nappies. They usually come in 2 categories-disposable and reusable. Reusable ones turn out to be handy when the difficulty is seasonal or brief.

If the issue appears re-occurring then throwaway nappies are a more sensible choice. So, make your pick. Choose for any in accordance to the difficulty your dog suffers from.
