Indoor Dog Potty Training And Reviews
The doggy variation of a cat litter box is called an indoor dog potty. Some of them are very basic, just a plastic box filled with dog litter. Some could win a design award and fit right in with your furniture. Others have fake (or real) grass. Some even come with a personal fake fire hydrant. What kind of an indoor dog toilet you buy is really up to you. What you like and how much money you're willing to spend on it. The training method is pretty much the same as with paper training. Choose a spot away from the dog's sleeping and eating area. Put your puppy on the indoor dog potty when you notice he has to go. Wait until he did his business and praise him like there's no tomorrow. Below you'll find a breakdown of some of the indoor dog toilets.
Wizdog Indoor Dog Potty
The Wizdog indoor dog potty is basically a durable plastic tray fitted with a grate. The size was specifically designed to fit most daily newspapers. You don't have to use newspapers though... I mean, you may read the newspaper online like I do...putting your laptop in the Wizdog would turn out to be quite expensive (not to mention laptops don't absorb urine all that well). So you'll be glad to know you can use it with pee pads or litter. Or you can just leave it empty, the tray is high enough so nothing will spill over the sides.The beauty of this design is that the paper/litter/pee pads stay under the grate. Out of reach of your dogs shredding teeth. Even if your pooch isn't a shredder, that grate has another great benefit. As the liquids flow through it, your doggies paws stay clean. No more dirty paw tracks all over your floor, furniture and (I hate this one) clothes. Solid waste stays on top of the grate. Which can be easily flipped over the toilet. Now, if your dog's solid waste isn't all that solid, it can be a bit difficult to clean. If you have a garden, you can just hose it down outside. Although the Wizdog is designed for smaller dogs, if you have a dog that weighs over 40lbs, you can simpley buy two of them and combine them. Click here to read some Wizdog testimonials.
