Toilet Training

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 behavior.

  • 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 odors 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.
