Housebreaking your New Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Puppy
While Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are undoubtedly handsome-looking pets, they also impress with their eagerness to please, which is an important ingredient in training. Past experience with other dog breeds will remind you that the spaniel also needs lessons on good manners and house breaking.
While your spaniel puppy is still very new to your home, start house training him immediately. The dog may be small and young, but he will have certain gestures and actions that surely indicate that he wants to urinate or eliminate. Watch the dog closely and learn his signals, and you will soon learn that examples of these signals are a dog whimpering and going in haste to another room, or sniffing the floor while circling around.
Studying each other’s actions is good for your dog and for yourself. Your puppy will grow up mature and secure with the help of the confidence-building praises and petting that you shower on him. This will lead the dog to try to stick to the situations and actions that lead to your giving him praises and rewards. Meanwhile, you will on longer have to clean up accidents all over your home. At the start, things will of course take time before resembling how you picture things to be. But soon the dog will behave accordingly through patience. After all, all King Charles Spaniel Training work out this way.
When you already figure out how the dog indicates that it wants to go, always take action and respond to his asking for assistance/ permission. So bring your dog outside to the garden, or take his lead, bring him outside, and stay by his side until he is through urinating and emptying his bowels.
How do you know if you are expecting way too much in Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Training? A twelve-week old cannot be expected to accomplish much of what you will command it to do. So it is best to keep your young puppy limited to a certain area to keep your house accident free. Train your puppy to concentrate eliminating on a newspaper at a corner of his living space. Always clean up the dog’s mess, and make it a point never to scold. Train your puppy to eliminate on the paper by bringing him there whenever he shows signs of eliminating. When the dog gets to go there all by himself, shower him with praises.
