Male Dog Paper Training

For the first few months, "Boy Puppies" as I call them, will urinate by squatting like "Girl Puppies" but as they mature they desire to go like a "Big Boy" goes. A chair leg, a wall  or anything upright becomes fair game to their urge.

If you are unable to walk your dog during the day due to work or for any reason or you just prefer your dog to be house trained and not have to be a human 'pooper scooper' outside, here is a tip that will satisfy his natural need to lift his leg.

Take an empty clean bleach gallon (wash it thoroughly so there is no chlorine smell), remove the label  and fill the gallon with sand. Place it in the center of the training pad or newspaper. Since he is already trained to use the paper in it's location, he will use it. It serves as a tree or hydrant for him.

Once a week, take it outside and wash it down with your hose, dry it and return it to his place. You may want to change the gallon once every three months to keep it fresh and tidy.
