Command: “Go Potty”
Training Steps:
- Choose a Spot: Lead your dog to a designated bathroom area each time they need to go. This builds consistency.
- Use the Command: As your dog begins to sniff around, say “Go Potty.” Keep the tone cheerful and encouraging.
- Reward Success: After your dog goes potty, offer immediate praise and a treat. This reinforces the behavior.
- Be Consistent: Use the command every time and only in the designated area to strengthen the association between the command and the action.
Explanation: “Go Potty” is essential for house training and helps your dog understand where and when it’s appropriate to relieve themselves, crucial for maintaining cleanliness and order both at home and while traveling.
Use Case: This command is particularly useful for young puppies or newly adopted dogs being house trained, and for maintaining routines while on trips or visits to new environments.
