Someone gave me this advice the other day. I haven't tried it, but since I'm keeping one of my new litter, I may give it a try. They said when the dog has an accident, make it sit by you while you clean it up (I assume this would require the use of a leash). After cleaning it, spray a little vinegar water on the spot and then a little of the vinegar water on the dog's nose, followed by showing the dog where it can go potty. Supposedly, they come to equate pottying in the wrong spot with getting the vinegar water on their nose. Plus, if they go back to the same spot and smell the vinegar, again, they would equate it with vinegar water on the nose.
I'm sure there are several methods of training out there and I'm sure I'll be using several of them. This may be good for one that's hard to train. It's better than some of the ways I've heard of people potty training.
Best of luck to you! |
