Toilet Training for Afghan Hounds

Toilet training Afghan Hounds, like training any other breed, requires patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Here are some tips for successful toilet training.


Establish a Routine

Take your Afghan Hound puppy outside to the same spot at regular intervals, especially after meals and waking up.



Use Positive Reinforcement

Praise and reward your dog when they eliminate outside. Positive reinforcement, such as treats and verbal praise, can be highly effective.



Be Patient

Understand that accidents may happen during the training process. Avoid scolding your dog for accidents; instead, focus on reinforcing good behaviour.



Supervision

Keep a close eye on your puppy indoors, and if you cannot supervise, consider crate training to prevent accidents.



Consistency

Maintain a consistent schedule for feeding, bathroom breaks, and outdoor trips.



Clean Accidents Thoroughly

Clean any indoor accidents promptly and thoroughly to remove odours that might attract your puppy back to the same spot.



Consult a Professional

If you encounter challenges with toilet training, consider seeking guidance from a professional dog trainer.
