New method revealed!

How to teach your dog to give you signals when he wants pee?

It is familiar that cottons are subtle breed. So their signals are not quite visible.
First teach your dog to bark, saying aw aw(like a dog)- then give him his reward. (do that until he gets it).

Next time teach him to connect his need to go out with barking. I taught my Coton, when I say: do you want to pee? and next thing i say is: then bark.

Now every time she needs to pee she first barks ,because she knows that in that way i will take her out.

i think i helped people who have trouble with interpretation of the signal of our breed.

Bells work great NEW
by: Anonymous

My 2 1/2 year old would just sit at the back door and not bark or tell us she needed to go out. We hung bells on the door and she started using them within a week. Her baby brother arrived 4 weeks ago and I noticed that he was hitting the bells last week. He is 14 weeks old. His sister taught him ;-)

Potty training
by: Margo

My boy is not much of a barker unless someone pulls into the driveway or if he sees the children across the street waiting for the school bus. Beau's almost 6 months old now and I put Doggie Bells by the door about 2 months ago. I'd ring them every time we went out but it took him several weeks to ring them himself. A few false alarms later, he's "getting it". Once the potty training is conquered, it just gets better and better..

RE: New Method Revealed

Mine just makes a subtle little grunt, he just started doing it. He will also give us a big stare, as if hes trying to use ESP or somthing. LOL. If I say "what is it boy" he will turn his head as to acknowledge that Im aware and he will stand on his two hind legs and bark to reassure his need to go potty. So classic, and makes me laugh every time he does it.

Not an issue with our Cotons
by: Diane

Both our Coton's ring a bell when they need to go outside... When training Spanky 3 yrs ago, he caught on at the age of aprox 8 months and learned to do so in 2 hrs of training, and years later when we got Gleason, he taught Gleason, who learned at 7 months of age! We didn't even have to bother training Gleason, cause Spanky did that for us! :-)

potty training
by: sherry cotton candie

Ours will usually just go sit by the door. If they do not get noticed they will come and stare until we get up or ask "go pee" then they run back to the door.....At night they wake us up by growling or putting their paws on us. Such clever little girls.

Bell
by: Anonymous

And for people who don't want their dogs barking..try a bell hung on the doorknob. They learn lightening fast on how to ring it when they want out.
