Hi everyone,
I am getting ready for my first dog, likely a Bichon-type breed, although I would prefer one with fur instead of hair. Any recommendations?
I read that you can train your dog to use a cat litter box. This seems like a great idea so walks can be done in sunshine instead of rain. Any thoughts?
You can train a dog to use a litter box, especially small breeds like Bichons. Just set up the box in a good spot and use positive reinforcement.
Even at five months old, my little Havanese still wants to go potty every forty-five minutes when awake, therefore I have trained her to go outside on the balcony in case it rains. If there is any concern on that front, she used to urinate every five to ten minutes when she was eight weeks old. She also enjoys going for walks and urinating and faeces, so none of that has stopped.
It’s really hard for me to get my husband to agree that teaching my shih tzu to use a pee pad instead of taking him outside every time. We’re getting a shih tzu next week. Does she also go to the bathroom on the pad?
