Border Collie: Potty Coaching Basics

A new border collie brings joy and excitement to everyone.  This breed is actually capable of performing jobs that may make life a little less complicated.  And besides, knowing that there’s somebody at home waiting for your return will paint a smile on your face even in your darkest days. 

However, this joy and excitement often wears off quickly and the smiles are turned into screams of disappointment when this new baby is turning into a little monster and begins to use the house as his bathroom.  Thus, it is always endorsed to potty train a border collie as early as possible. 

To make potty training simple and less difficult, you need to realise first the character of puppies.  Just like human babies, puppies have miniscule bladders and bowels.  This makes it harder for them to control their need to eliminate.  The neatest thing a Border collie owner should do is to control his pet closely.  Watch for pointers that Fido is about to do his business.  These signs include turning in circles, sniffing the floor, pacing, sighing or staring at you.  When your pup exhibits any of these signs, take him to the appropriate spot and let him do his thing.  Also, take him outside after waking up in the morning, after eating and drinking, after exercise and before going to bed.  Praise and reward your dog every time he does his thing outside.  By doing this, you are helping your pet develop his potty schedule.  The process can be time-intensive but do not worry.  It will not last for all time.  When your little puppy is sufficiently old to govern his bladder and bowels (which occurs when he’s around 12 weeks old); things will be different. 

It’s not a dog’s intention to commit accident intentionally.  Understand that accidents can’t be evaded and punishment is not obligatory when correcting your dog.  When you return home to a pile of poor beside the sofa, never hit your dog for it.  He will never understand that he is being punished for the error he did hours back.  When caught in the process of doing his thing inside the house, make a noise loud enough to distract him but not too loud to frighten him to death.  Take him out immediately and let him finish at the right spot.  Praise and reward your dog after. 

By being consistent and determined, you can ultimately understand that you have become successful in your quest for having a reliably housebroken border collie.
