Comments on: Puppy, litter boxes and an apartment… HELP? http://www.urbanplacemaking.com/urban-place-apartments/puppy-litter-boxes-and-an-apartment-help-4/ Fri, 16 Apr 2010 14:21:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Dawn B http://www.urbanplacemaking.com/urban-place-apartments/puppy-litter-boxes-and-an-apartment-help-4/#comment-1496 Dawn B Wed, 13 Jan 2010 12:47:59 +0000 http://www.urbanplacemaking.com/urban-place-apartments/puppy-litter-boxes-and-an-apartment-help-4#comment-1496 I have two Boston Terriers that are litter box trained. It's a huge plus when it is raining or snowing outside. The litter box training is the same concept as training them to go outside. If the puppy starts to go on the floor... pick it up and place it in the litter box (even if the puppy is done going). Give the puppy a treat and praise him. When the puppy does number two... place the excrement in the box and place the puppy next to it. Give him a treat with praise. If you happen to be in the room for an extended period of time with your puppy, keep a close eye on him. If it looks like he is about to go to the bathroom, pick him up and place him in the box. Encourage him to remain there until he goes. Even if he doesn't go, treat and praise him. Last there are litter boxes that are just for dogs. I strongly recommend getting those over the ones for cats. The cat boxes have taller sides making the dog jump out of the box and making a mess.<br><b>References : </b><br> I have two Boston Terriers that are litter box trained.

It's a patch of astroturf like substance about 3 X 4 and the dogs go on it. Go to pottypatch.com and see if it will work for you.<br><b>References : </b><br> Try the potty patch.

Litter boxes/pee pads(when used all the time)=nasty smelling homes, apartments, etc. We only use pee pads for when we aren't home, and my dogs really hardly ever use them. They wait until we get home, or when my mom comes in in the middle of the morning to walk them some days, to go potty outside.<br><b>References : </b><br> Start leashing the dog and taking it for little walks every hour or two.
