When your dog refuses to go outside in the rain, it can be annoying and time consuming. It's even worse when you're trying to potty train a young puppy that isn't going to hold it until the rain stops.
For most dogs they will learn to tolerate it but for others it may always be a struggle.
We know we should stay positive to try and change their association but when you've been outside for the 10th time in the rain and they still haven't gone it's hard not to let that frustration show through.
Different things will work for different dogs. That's why in this episode I run through a bunch of things that may help you pup's relationship to being wet and cold so both of you can spend more time inside the toasty warm house.
In this episode I talk about:
- Rain gear.
- Creating a special place in your yard.
- Using a potty cue.
- Change their association with the rain and rain gear.
- Why does your dog love to swim but hates the rain (or their bath).
Press play and enjoy!
