It really is quite simple to litter box train a dog. Most people dread this aspect of being a dog owner. Training a puppy or older dog is as easy as training a cat to use a litter box. Before reviewing the 3 steps to successful litter box training for your pooch, there are a few things that you always need to keep in mind when training or disciplining a dog. Always consider the previous training level and habits of your dog. Always know that trainability does range by a dogs breed. Some breeds are willing to train while others are somewhat stubborn and a bit more difficult to train. Many dogs may take a bit more work but they are trainable.

Lets start with litter box training dogs with the system itself. The Ugodog dog litter box is constructed of sturdy material that is capable of handling a respectable amount of weight. What sets this system apart from other potty systems is that its grates are specifically designed to be kind to sensitive doggy paws. The way the grates are designed is innovative as to not cut into the bottom of the paw pads. Also, the grate holes are small enough to prevent small puppies from having their paws get stuck. 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! The best reasons 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. All you need for this system to be effective is the system itself, some newspaper or paper towels. Some owners may choose to use pee pads underneath the grates but this is expensive and not very environmentally friendly. Newspaper is a much better choice. When your dog learns to use the potty well, newspapers are not even necessary. At your convenience, you can flush the pee down the toilet in the evening and through out the poo that sits on top the grate.

Training tips as simple as 1-2-3:

1) Put 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, place 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) The moment your dog needs to use the bathroom lead 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. Some dogs may be shy at first and have accidents. If they do, when you clean up the accident use that urine soaked paper towel to put under the grate and lead your dog over to litter box after an accident. This should make for an easier life for you and your pooch. You will not be dealing with pee soaked paws or ripped up pee pads. Even though this is a great dog potty, it is not meant to substitute taking your dog for a walk.
