The behavior to adapt
First, one of the biggest problems is urine. Here are some behaviors to adapt to prevent your dog from urinating in inappropriate places. The first method is simple and can be effective depending on the dog. It is simply about reinforcing the positive. That is to say, rewarding the dog for a good deed such as when he urinates at the desired location. On the other hand, if the dog does a bad deed, it is recommended not to quibble with him. Some dogs may take the scolding just as attention and therefore repeat the error in order to get that attention.
Secondly, in order to avoid peeing in the wrong places, you just need to observe your companion carefully. Certain signs may show that your dog wants to relieve himself. Dogs will emit moans to show you that he wants. Others may become less attentive and sniff all over the floor. Pay attention to your dog’s behavior, it could save you some damage.
Finally, adopting good lifestyle habits can also help. Start by establishing a routine such as going for a short walk after eating so that he can relieve himself.
The tools to use for potty training dogs
Once you have set up certain behavior, you can also use different products to assist you in learning it. One of the main products to use is a urine neutralizer. A urine neutralizer will allow you to eliminate the enzyme in the urine. The enzyme, present in the dog’s urine, will allow the dog to re-mark its territory. So, if the enzyme is not eliminated, it is possible that the dog returns to urinate in the same places. Here is a popular urine neutralizer.

To continue, if your dog relieves himself outside, you can consider getting training bells. These bells are bells hung on a nylon band that you can hang on your door. This method takes time and practice, but you can teach your pet to shake the bells when it wants to go to the toilet. With these bells, it will be much easier to spot when your dog needs to go outside.
