The first few days with your Collie are very crucial. Although some Collies easily adjust to their new environment, there are many Collies that are rather slow in learning new things. According to many experts, one of the most challenging issues that you will face with your little rascal is Collie potty training. Make not mistakes about it, Collie potty training can be a bit tricky and things could really get very irritating especially when your little rascal starts messing around the house. In most cases, it will take some time and a lot of patience on your part before your little Collie will finally learn where and how to potty.

Training Your Collie

Collie potty training doesn’t have to be very stressful for you and your Collie. The best way to start things right is to ask the breeder what time the puppy usually eats and what time he or she usually needs to potty. The amount of food and the regular eating time of your puppy can help you determine the time when your puppy has to go potty. Note that when conducting Collie potty training, you will need to closely supervise your Collie during the training period. You can only effectively supervise you puppy if you are able to correctly gauge when your Collie needs to go potty.

During Collie potty training, it is important for you to accompany your puppy outside when it is time for it to go potty. Note that puppies has the tendency to simply play in the yard instead of doing their thing so make sure that your puppy does what he is supposed to do. Furthermore, it is important that when you take your puppy outside to go potty, you take him to the same spot all the time. Puppies learn faster if the act is constant and is repeated often. Establish a pattern and do not deviate from it so that your puppy will not get disoriented.

Praising and giving treats to your puppy during Collie potty training is important. If your puppy does something right, it is important to let the Collie know that you are pleased with him.  If you consistently praise your Collie for its good deeds during Collie potty training, your Collie will associate the good deed with praises and treats. Since Collies love being praised and given treats, he will be more inclined to perform something that will most likely generate praises and treats.
