Smallish Breed Dog Bathroom Training
Why dog lovers hold this preconceived notion that small breed dogs are more difficult to train than medium sized or large breed puppies, I will never be able to understand. Housebreaking a puppy, despite its size should never be difficult.
Small dog training, is no different from training a puppy dog of any other size. Whilst training any puppy will have its peculiarities, according to its breed, almost all other aspects remain identical, and the method to training the puppy should be the same, irrespective its size.
With that said, I will make an exception here, and accept that small dog training may create problems in two arenas, (1) Aggression and (2) Puppy crate training. Nonetheless, this is not because the size of the dog breed is small, but in all case studies, because of the owner.
If a small breed pup is aggressive and is difficult to train, or if a small breed dog cannot be potty trained or poses challenges in being bathroom trained, it is the owner who has not knowingly contributed to this dilemma. Let us examine how and why.
Aggression.
Tiny dogs are loved because they are cute, they are like toy characters. Owners enjoy having their puppy sit on their laps. This kind of indulgence is where the trouble gets going. The natural aggressive characteristic of the canine, is to claim ownership over its space, its food, even its master; all puppies need to be the alpha dog.
It is the aggressive streak in the pup that causes it to jump on to the lap of its master, above all when there are plenty of people seated in the room.
This is a obvious act of aggression. Instead of reprimanding the animal, every owner bar none, would cuddle the dog, even though it jumped on to their lap unbeckoned, fostering the aggressive streak in the pup. As a result the owner has seconded the dog's behavioral instinct to be the alpha dog.
Growling and getting angry at a a bigger size dog is another obvious act of aggression. To the owner, and even the people nearby, this is seen as cute, because one dog is very small while the other is big. Most owners pet and pat the dog instead of admonishing it, when it exhibits this aggression against a larger dog.
These are but illustrations as to why small pups are aggressive, and definitely not because small dog training is different or difficult.
Bathroom Training
Owners are inclined to lug their small dogs around where ever they are, even when they are in the house and that makes it plain difficult to toilet train them
It comes natural to the owners of small dogs to carry the animal to the area where the pup should do its dirty business and then lug it back into the house.
It is this practice of carrying the dog to the place where is should do its business that is the cause of all dilemmas. In addition, as the pup is as a general rule carried around so often it has no way of it indicating to or notifying the owner that it has to make its business.
Small dog training begins with treating the dog as any other sized dog. They have to be taken to their pooping area on a leash. If owners avoid carrying their miniature breed dogs they would have no obstacles in training them.
Dog crate training, is the best part of pup training, and so it has to be, even in Small Dog Training.
