House breaking your dog is probably the first task you will have when you get your new pet, whether he is a puppy or an adult. There are some must have supplies that will help make the job easier. Here is our list of the ten most essential supplies to make your house training work a little easier.
Just in case you're wondering, the products listed below can be purchased from Amazon at a lower cost than would be if you went to your local pet supply store.
For adult dogs with incontinence or territorial marking issues, we highly recommend these products
If you have girls that mark their territory (and girls will do that!), are in heat or have problems with incontinence, diapers are a life saver.
You can purchase washable diapers that use disposable liners or go for the disposable variety that requires no laundry.
When using either a diaper for the gals or belly bands for the guys, we recommend that you keep a supply of wipes handy for use when changing them out.
Having lived with dogs and cats most of her life, Janice served as a veterinary technician for ten years in Maryland and twelve years as a Shih Tzu dog breeder in Ohio.
Her education includes undergraduate degrees in Psychology with a minor in biology, Early Childhood Education, and Nursing, and a master's in Mental Health Counseling.
She is a lifelong learner, a dog lover, and passionate about the welfare of animals. Her favorite breed for over 50 years has been the Shih Tzu, but she has also lived with poodles, Maltese, Yorkshire Terriers, beagles, English bulldogs, carin terriers, and a Cocker Spaniel.
When not writing, reading, and researching dog-related topics, she likes to spend time with her eight Shih Tzu dogs, husband, and family, as well as knitting and crocheting. She is also the voice behind Miracle Shih Tzu and Smart-Knit-Crocheting
