Essential tips on potty training your puppy

"What an awful smell," Ken lamented one morning on his way to work. In my everyday cleaning, I had searched the house with no luck. The smell was stingy to the nose. Kiki our dog was barely one week old when we noticed the smell. She had an appetite for a king. Eating everything from our breakfast bacon to puppy food and treats to a point I had to ration her portions. This weekend we had agreed with Ken to turn the house upside down as we were tired of the awful smell. As we came close to the sofa near the corner the smell became stronger. We pushed the sofa and “walah ha-ha” Kiki had turned the place behind it into her toilet. She relieved herself there. It was time for puppy training. Funny at least as a puppy she knew how to hide when doing her bathroom calls. She had a designed place she preferred and there is where we placed her potty. This experience opened our eyes, we should have potty trained her when she first arrived. This could have saved us the one-week ordeal of the awful smell. Here we will give tips on potty training to make your life easy as a new dog owner. Potty training ensures your dog is able to empty his bowels in a designated place not on the house floor everywhere or behind the furniture. You want your house clean and tidy hence do the training when the puppy arrives. We have three steps for potty training. It can be done outdoor or indoor with a suitable crate. Steps on how to potty train your Labrador puppy

Toilet area should be established within 8-9 weeks.

Set a specific area for your puppy to pee and poop. The area can be indoor or outdoor. You can be taking your puppy to the yard to relieve itself severally anytime when its bladder is full and with time it will always go to the same spot. If you prefer indoors you can use a crate or a corner in the house that has a washable floor to clean always. Crate training is introduced gradually after the puppy has settled in your home. Do not leave your puppy for so long in the crate. If it wets its beddings and you are not around it might develop a problem of bedwetting which is not our objective. We would advise you do crate training when you are around. You can time your puppy who might want to pee after every thirty minutes or after a drink. Get a good and comfortable crate in terms of size. You do not want your puppy to be squeezed up.

Self-control technique should be done within 10-12 weeks.

As much as your puppy is used to peeing it need to be shown how to self-control. It should just pee in the areas agreed on not everywhere in the house or yard. Make sure your puppy gets to the designated toilet place and not wet on himself. Continue escorting and supervising your puppy to the yard to pee after an hour if you see its forgetting, to avoid wetting himself.

Extend the designated clean zone, this can be done after 3-6 months.

By now your puppy is used to peeing in the designated toilet area after several hours. The bathroom trips are not as frequent as at stage 1. Now you are ready to introduce your puppy to your other home areas and allowing him on your carpet. But be careful and alert because you do not want him to pee on your carpet. If this happens go back to stage 1 and start all over again. This dog training tip will help you if you work long hours as your puppy will not pee in the house. Ensure outdoor training is constant. Let your puppy pee outside and if you are late it won’t mess your house with pee and poop. Once your puppy has passed the three stages in three months and does not have any more toilet accidents indoors. Can last for hours between visits outside and has good bladder control then you can happily say you have achieved great success in potty training. Keeping your puppy company when peeing will motivate him to pee outside. It is your duty to encourage him to achieve good potty training. Do not punish your puppy when it pees indoor just do frequent visits outside when his bladder is full to correct this and wipe the pee quickly and thoroughly. With time it will see how serious you are and adapt to this routine. With these simple tips, potty training does not have to be a hard task for any dog owner.

Finding a home for a dog - are you ready to adopt or rehome a dog?

We have a feeling your family is ready to grow when you are thinking of adopting a dog. It is a big step. Your dog need to know you are in charge and you have rules to live by. The leadership and order you show your dog will have a big impact on its’ behaviour. This will make its transition from the shelter to your home easier, faster and more rewarding. Bringing your new dog home is an exciting and fulfilling experience.

To get your relationship off on the right foot with your dog here are some tips on how to prepare.

#1 – Be flexible

Accommodate your dogs need, know it has a mind of its own and adjust your life and get your routine set that works for both you and your dog. Slowly introduce your dog to your friends, new places, maintain a good sense of humour during the transition time to make your dog feel wanted.

#2 – Available basics

Just like how you prepare for a new born baby ensure you prepare for your dog. Shop for an ID tag, leash, collar, bed, food and water bowls, food, anything the dog might need to avoid last minute rush. The dog need to find an orderly place not a confused home.

#3 – Rules to family member

Ensure the dog is trained and shown its place from the word go. Ensure all family member are responsible and agree to particular roles of caring for the dog. If you agree that the dog should rest in its’ crate your child should not allow it on the sofa. Some ground rules should be set and make sure that all family members agree to follow and enforce them. Ensure your dog is helped to adjust. Being in a new environment your dog might be anxious, hide behind seat, stay in one place, this is all normal but help your pal adjust slowly. For a few weeks your dog will be going through an adjustment period be patient and understanding. Helping him through this tough time and showing him how wonderful his new home really is will make him fit in quickly.

#4 – Slow introduction

As much as you want to introduce your amazing dog to your friends do it slowly. If possible introduce one friend at a time to avoid confusing him/her. The walk to the park can wait a few weeks to avoid interactions with many people at once.

#5 – Bonding session

Once in a while have time with your dog. Talk to him/her with a soothing voice and pet him gently. Touching and petting your dog is a powerful way of communication and will show him he is safe, loved and your relationship will set off to a beautiful start.

#6 – Time alone

Give your dog some time alone every day to learn its surroundings. Your dog will love that and watch from a distance to ensure he is safe as you give him some ‘me’ time.

#7 – Vet visit

True love is hard to find. Your dog is your best friend as a priority ensure the first week or immediately you take your dog to the vet for check-up. Just to be certain it is not sick or just a regular check-up especially if you have other pets in the home. Bring any vaccine and medical records supplied by the shelter or rescue from which you adopted your dog from. The first visit is great as it will show your dog personality and past history, so ask a lot of questions to the veterinarian. Also have your dog acquire a tag, collar or micro chipped for easy identification in case of getting lost or wandering away it will be easy to reunite you with your dog.

Myths of dog adoption

Most people have myths of dog adoption, some people think that most dogs do not have a home due to their fault. The truth is dog shelters and rescues are full of lovable, active and healthy adoptable dogs just waiting for someone to take them home. Dogs brought at the shelter can come from divorced homes, the dog owner could have died, due to financial constraints the dog owner might not be able to sustain the dog anymore and gives it up, the owner might not have time for the dog to offer it attention and love which the dog needs. By adopting a pet you are giving room to another pet for shelter that is out there. A shelter or rescue will want to know more about where the dog will call home the goal is to balance the interest of the two of you, the adopter and the dog. They have a procedure to get to know you.

Adoption Procedure

They will want to know your housing situation is it renting or owner occupier, the number and ages of children in your household if any, the name and contact of your veterinarian, your previous experiences with pets, your activity level, lifestyle and expectations for a new pet and the type and number of pets you own. Most shelters have the animal best interest at heart and want to ensure the pet is matched with responsible, appropriate owners and have a screening process in place for this. The process vary from shelter to shelter but it involves:

#1 – Questionnaire

It has a variety of questions to help know the adopter better on living standards, household members and pets, ages of children if any, your lifestyle and activities.

#2 – Interview

This is a follow up face to face on what was answered on the questionnaire to know you better or to clarify any information given.

#3 – The meet and greet

This process is where you have multiple pets at home they accompany you to the shelter to meet the new pet, if you have.

#4 – Adoption contract

This is signed if everything goes well. Many shelters and rescue groups have information about their adoption process on their websites so you can know in advance what to expect. If possible examine the adoption process thoroughly before going to the shelter. If your family is ready for dog adoption they are several organisations that take care of rescued dogs and also dog welfare. Some are perfect as they ensure your dog is snipped, vaccinated and micro chipped to help you settle fast into a new life together and avoid paying huge veterinary bills as you take them home.

We will feature three organisations.

Rehoming at RSPCA.

RSPCA helps animals in England and Wales. Every year thousands of animals including dogs suffer from neglect, cruelty and abuse. With your help we can end this misery. RSPCA have many animals in their care who have never experienced life of a loving family home and want a person who will give one of their animals the happy future it deserves. Their dogs are unique, loud, quiet, fluffy, big, and small and come with a personality readymade, a past that is unique to them and a lot of love to give. The organisation does not rely on government funding but on your support. The RSPCA understand the adopted dog can be sick or uncomfortable in a new home and it might be difficult for the new owner hence they provide guidance for your individual dog so you should not be worried. They also have an online dog advice booklet-dog pre-adoption booklet that advices on health environment, behaviour, diet and company for smooth transition, you will not feel left alone with your dog. I just had a look at the RSPCA website https://www.rspca.org.uk and they have a lot of fantastic beautiful dogs who are housetrained waiting for a loving family to adopt them. Now it is up to you to give them the love and care they deserve by housing one.

DogsTrust

DogsTrust mission is to bring about the day when all dogs can enjoy a happy life from the threat of unnecessary destruction. Founded in 1891, it is the largest dog welfare charity in the UK (United Kingdom). In 2016 DogTrust had a great year as it cared for around 15,300 dogs across all their 21 centres. This is awesome. Around their centres they have currently 908 dogs needing new homes and have a good variety to choose from. The figure changes with time and you can keep checking in their website https://www.dogstrust.org.uk . The dogs ranges from puppies, older dogs, dogs with injuries/ Medical conditions and even healthy dogs. DogTrust works with foster carers who play a huge role in a rescued dog’s life. The DogTrust fully takes care of the dogs’ food, veterinary treatment and advice for their foster carer before a permanent home is found for them. This works very well for people who cannot adopt full time, you just volunteer to take care of them. It does not cost anything, just your time and love. Looking after the dog give you some fulfilment, something to get up for and brings the best in you and your dog as you care for it.

BlueCross

BlueCross is a registered charity in England and Wales and Scotland. They find homes for unwanted cats, dogs, small pets and horses across the UK and find the right person for their pets. They provide veterinary services to pet owners who cannot afford and give free talks and workshops to educate them on their pets. For more details check https://www.bluecross.org.uk The dog adoption topic is wide and cannot be exhausted in one article. The basics have been highlighted and now finding a perfect dog for your family is a phone call away. Make that important decision and give a home to one deserving dog. You can be a permanent dog owner or foster carer the dog will appreciate the love and warmly home atmosphere.

Best 9 Luggage Trackers to Ensure You Have a Stress-Free Journey as You Travel

Nothing spoils a trip after many hours on the air than knowing your luggage has been lost and your clothes are in another airport. A couple of friends and even my younger brother have been victims of lost luggage which can take up to 2 days waiting for it to be traced. What if you could tell the airlines exactly where your bag was? That would really fasten the process and you would have a clean change of clothes. With so much technology available to us today, there are a lot of smart luggage trackers that can help you keep your luggage safe and give you peace of mind as you travel.

We will review two kinds of trackers which may be suitable for you: Bluetooth and GPS trackers.

Bluetooth trackers

Bluetooth trackers can be used to locate lost keys, purse, bag pack or wallet. They can tether from user to user and have about a 50ft range. Mobile or GSM luggage trackers get around the GPS coverage problem by using the local mobile network to help track your luggage. These devices can be found when they are in range of mobile towers. This will only work inside the airport terminal as long as your phone is working. It’s unfortunate if you find yourself in countries that are against this, it will work if the country you are in is supporting the tracking of the SIM chip in the device (usually a GSM based chip).

GPS trackers

GPS trackers use cellular technology where it transmits your item GPS location to a server and can monitor the location from anywhere using your smartphone. GPS luggage trackers might seem one of the best options because they include a GPS chip and can be tracked anywhere in the world and are incredibly accurate but can be limited in areas with obstructions like trees, mountains and also by buildings. The only difference between the two is the range. Bluetooth tracker can help you to track items at close range and GPS trackers will help you find a lost bag or item in a different city or country. It would be ideal to have both if you are avid traveler. GPS luggage trackers are several in the market.

Things to consider when choosing Luggage Trackers

- Tracking Technology – GSM vs GPS vs Bluetooth - Tracking Range - Size - Battery Type & Life - Durability - Versatility - Smart Phone App - Subscription Fees - Flight Safe Modes - Price

Final Thoughts: Which Luggage Tracker is right for me?

Having the best luggage tracker in your bag can save you the trouble of wasting your vacation searching for your bags in case they get lost. Each of the luggage trackers reviewed above offer unique advantages, although some are obviously better. Since I like travelling a lot I have tested most of them. Simple Bluetooth trackers like Tile and TrackR can only show you where your bag is when it is within 100ft Bluetooth range, or rely on other users having their app open. I liked the Spytech for its versatility due its variety of features as it can be used for luggage, purses, keys, cars, and countless other types of valuable items, however, I am torn between these three trackers: LugLoc, Trackimo and Trackdot. Gego LugLoc works everywhere (indoor and outdoor) and lets you focus on what’s important; enjoying your trips, relaxing and ensures you rest easy knowing where your bags are at all times. Trackimo has a collection of trackers which seem to work really well. Online review indicates its a trustworthy product even though we haven't tested it. I am dieing to get my hands on one of this to explore its capabilities firsthand. Trackdot is decidedly the best luggage tracker as it uses GSM technology, has global access with an easy to use smart phone app. The Lite version has a built-in rechargeable battery making it superior to other trackers and it's also airline approved. It is our best pick.

Understanding and dealing with common dog behaviours

All dogs exhibit general canine behaviours patterns. Some dogs exhibit breed-specific behaviours such as extraordinary tracking ability, a heightened sense of territorial, a desire to run or uncanny ability to round of livestock so you find dogs are designed to hunt, chase, kill and eat. Dogs will be dogs and as much as the jobs done by dogs have largely disappeared. Have been replaced by careers as pets or participants in a variety of sport or service jobs but canine predatory instincts are alive and well. If you are looking for help treating your dog’s behaviour issue or just curious about why your dog does what he does. Read our article as it is explained well below. Development of behaviour varies in individual dogs as well as between breeds. Dogs with a high degree of predatory behaviour are a challenge to train, especially if the family includes small children or other pets. Find more in the article about common dog behaviour issues to help you and your pup address some of our canine friends’ behaviour and habits.

Aggression

To say that a dog is aggressive it encompasses a range of behaviours that usually begins with warnings and can culminate in an attack. Aggression is the most common and most serious behaviour problem in dogs. If your dog is aggressive it can get to a point where you seek professional help from behaviourists, trainers and veterinarians. Some of the intense behaviour that aggressive dogs exhibits are a growl, lunging forward or charging at the person with no contact, quick nip that leaves no mark, quick bite that tears the skin, bite and shake. They are so many but most dogs often do several of the behaviours outlined. Most pet owners will discover the aggression behaviour before it goes out of hand and also dogs rarely bite without giving some type of warning. When trying to get answers on why your dog is aggressive find out what is triggering the reaction to give an accurate diagnosis before you can hope to help your dog. Depending on the type of aggression your dog can be cured or managed to a certain percentage. We have several aggression types:

Territorial aggression-some dogs will attack and bite an intruder whether is a friend or foe.

Protective aggression-dogs may show aggressive behaviour when they think that one of their family members or friend is in trouble.

Possessive aggression-many dogs show the tendency to guard their possessions from others.

Fear aggression-dogs do not like fear because a fearful dog may become aggressive if cornered or trapped.

Defensive aggression-closely related to fear aggression but defensive aggression difference is the strategy adopted by the dog. Defensively aggressive dog instead of retreating when fearful they react by attacking.

Predatory aggression-some dogs show canine predatory behaviours like chasing, hunting, grabbing on things or small animals and birds.

Food guarding

Guarding possession is very normal even with dogs, from toys to territorial space to food. These dogs can survive in the wild as they know to protect their own. Some dogs can guard by chasing a person away, or biting you or running away with the item they are protecting to hide. This is considered dangerous especially with children around. The dog might guard food on the table, dishwasher or leftovers and children do not know the warning signs of the dogs. It is advisable for pet owners to feed their dogs in a different room away from kids or outside in their crates. To avoid any harm to your children keep the feeding place outside as it is impossible to prevent the guarding behaviour. With some dogs, treatment for food guarding is tricky. If you try and your dog appears stressed and refuses to eat but guards his bowl discontinue the exercise immediately and seek help from a behaviourist or qualified trainer. Do not punish or intimidate your dog when he guards food.

Barking

Barking is a form of communication from your dog. It can alert you when someone is approaching your house, or your dog needs something. Barking can be a problem if it is excessive. Identify the cause before treating it. Continuous barking form your dog can be a way of getting your attention when he wants food, to play, or want to go for a walk. You can train it to sit instead of barking when he wants something. Some dogs like barking, so your goal should be to decrease barking instead of eliminating it. Dogs have unique barks for different needs like wanting to eat, coming into the yard or wanting to go for a walk. Ensure you understand the bark first to meet your dog’s needs.

Territorial barking- dogs can bark excessively when strangers and animals approach their territory.

Alarm barking- these dogs are more for security watch. They are still and launch forward with each bark. They bark at any and every sound to alert you.

Frustration induced barking-some dogs bark excessively when restricted or confined in a space and cannot move freely.

Injury barking-dogs sometimes bark in response to pain or injury. If this occurs let your dog be examined by a veterinarian in case of any medical needs.

For barking treatment determine the catalysts or causes of the barking to know how to best treat the type of bark. Do not tie your dog’s muzzle closed with rope, cord, rubber band or anything to stop barking as this could be dangerous.

Separation anxiety

Some dogs can show distress by urinating, barking, howling, chewing or trying to escape when left alone. All these show the dogs need to be trained house manners. Your dog might have separation anxiety if when you want to leave it has distress behaviour like drooling, it is chewing on toys and tearing everything. Separation anxiety is triggered when dogs become upset because of separation from their guardians, the people who care and show them love. Escape attempt can be hurtful to your dog especially the exit points. When treating a dog with separation anxiety, the goal is to resolve the dog's underlying anxiety by teaching him to enjoy or at least tolerate being left alone. It is believed that loss of an important person or group of people in a dog’s life can lead to separation anxiety. These mostly is observed in adopted dogs from a shelter because of change of family, schedule, residence or passing of a household member the dog was used to. Counterconditioning might reduce or solve the problem where the fearful, aggressive reaction of the dog is changed to a pleasant, relaxed one by putting the dog with the person it fears in a place it loves or with an object that the dog loves. Over time the dog learns that whatever he fears actually predicts good things for him.

Whining

Dogs mostly when they are seeking attention or want desired objects from their owners. Dogs can whine during greetings, it is brought about by excitement and may be directed at dogs or people. Some dogs are submissive and when adopting a submissive posture, for example, head down, tail tucked will whine a lot when interacting with people and other dogs. Separation anxiety can contribute to whining. If your dog does not want to be left alone it will whine. Injury can cause whining and if you notice this in your dog take her to the vet to rule out medical causes. Whining can be reduced by building your dog confidence. Try taking her to an obedience class that use reward-based training techniques. In dog training UK in just three weeks you will be able to see 98% success rate with your dog obedience level. The consistency behaviour and training will give you good rewards. They have a team of lady trainers who can care for your dog or puppy regardless of whether it is small or large, timid or bold. They are just a phone call away. Check their website for more details. http://www.dogtraininguk.com/

Howling

Howling is one of the many forms of vocal communication used by dogs. Dogs how to attract attention, to announce their presence and make contact with others. A dog can howl due to separation anxiety if left alone by its owner for a long time and can be distressed. The dog can howl if hurt or sick. If the howling is more than usual visit your veterinarian to rule out illness or injury before any treatment. If the dog howls because of a trigger, remove the trigger and the howling will stop unless the trigger is frequent. You can also use desensitization and counterconditioning to help your dog learn to be quiet. Some dogs howl because they are lonely, especially if left alone for long or are kept outside. Dogs are social animals like human and need love and attention and if your dog howls try to spend more quality time together to stop this behaviour, bring him indoors often and play with him to reduce the attention seeking tendencies. Take him to a fun training class that focusses on rewarding good behaviour. Several organisations do this: Kindly check the websites for more detail. The Association of Pet Dog Trainers was founded in 1995 by John Fisher to offer pet dog owners a guarantee of quality when looking for a puppy and dog training class in their area. The APDT UK are proud of the fact that they assess all members according to a strict criterion which ensures they have appropriate skills to teach dog training. They are required to keep their education up to date and adhere to a Code of Practice. Training dogs has changed a great deal in the last few years. It is no longer necessary, or acceptable, to use harsh methods in training, and the use of gentle, motivational methods are as successful as they are enjoyable to use. Dog owners looking for local trainers can check their local area listing on this website. For more information check http://www.apdt.co.uk/ In fun dog training-Dogs need to know when they are doing the right thing and fun dog training ensures this is done by their numerous dog activities, and one on one training. Training is done through playing and made fun for your dog. For more details check http://fundogtraining.co.uk/ When you must leave your dog home alone, be sure to leave him plenty of attractive toys to chew and play and he will enjoy. Check out our dog toys selection.

Biting and nipping

Puppies like playing a lot and chewing on things. They want to discover more in their lives and use their mouth and teeth to this benefit when investigating. As puppies slowly develop into bigger breeds they begin chewing, biting on your hand, limbs and clothing start becoming dangerous instead of pleasant. Train your puppy to have good mouth behaviour and bite gently when playing with it. Encourage more non-contact form of playing such as fetch and tug of war instead of hand biting or wrestling. This will encourage him to look for toys when he feels like mouthing. Keep plenty of attractive toys for this at home. The canine behaviours are many our article has just highlighted a few. If you have questions you can contact us for more details and directions for more information pieces you might want to read about. Some treatments of dog behaviour might require the help of a professional certified professional dog trainer (CPDTS) and the websites in the article have more information on the help they offer, just have a visit at the pages and get assisted.

Real time alerts when you are out, via the easy to setup iphone/android app. Reassure your pet when they are alone. Night vison is also a feature with a range of upto 30ft, and two way audio means the camera is packed with features, again at a great price. What do we like? Well we can't help but notice that it looks somewhat canine in its design, with a little head, body and tail! And of course value for money is a must. It doesnt have the treat throwing capacity of the likes of Furbo, though not everyone needs or wants this feature. Features:

10. Skymee Camera

At first glance, Skymee appears very much like the market leader Furbo. It certainly holds onto a similar price tag, if a little cheaper, and has a smilar camera, two way audio feature, treat dispender and app. Night vision is also a feature with infared LEDs, and even the indicator lights on the device are the blue and yellow colours that dogs can see and become familiar with. When the app is used, the indicator light turns from yellow to blue to show the dog you are around. The skymee app is free to users, no subscriptions are required. Only one device can be added by an app account to heighten security and prevent intrudors peeping. Essentially this camera has replicated many of the features of market leaders and it has been highly rated as a pet cam.

Overall,if you're looking for a dog-specific, treat tossing interactive camera, Skymee certainly fits the bill and will do the trick, even though it is at the pricier end of the market. Features:

Teaching your lab to put his toys in the toy basket

Every birthday I dreamed about opening a pink box with a tie ribbon on it and a puppy jumps out and lick my face. A dog has always been man best friend from our ancestors’ time. All the fantasies about the name I would give my puppy or the breed I would prefer have stayed with me ever since I was eight years old. Kiki being a Labrador is very playful and the house is full of toys to entertain her. With all the energy she has got we had to put it to use for activities and games. Every day is a fun day for Kiki unless she is not feeling well, you will find her jumping, running around the yard, chewing or snuggling around our legs. Do you spend several minutes’ daily picking up your dog toys and putting them away? Kiki was also like that, leaving toys lying around after playing but with a bit of training she can now pick her toys and put in the toy basket and keep the house and yard tidy. Most dogs are like kids they take all their toys and spread them around the house until it looks like a pile of rubbish. Instead of getting tired daily teach your dog to clean up her/his own mess. Show your dog to be responsible and help you around the house and at the end of the day, both of you will be happy. Your house will be neat and you will bond more. Training procedure-picking toys up We will make this training g as simple as possible, as a dog owner I love simplicity as it has worked better for me and my dog Kiki. To make this happen:

Get a toy box or basket for her toys.

Pick her favourite toys for the training.

Have a treat for reward training when she obeys

Labs are great at fetching hence it will be easy to train your puppy. Through playing a game of fetch with your dog at the park it already knows how to fetch.

Put a box neatly in the middle of the room near you, throw a toy for your dog to fetch.

Point into the box where you want your dog to drop the toy (use actions only).

Once it does that throw it a treat and say well done.

Repeat the process severally and your dog will understand.

If it does not drop the toy into the box do not reward it.

After several tries, it will put the toy into the box.

Try with different toys while you are still near.

After the game of fetch try putting toys near the box and wait for it to pick and put in the box.

After passing the two practical’s you can start using cues. Talk to your dog in a calm tone to get a positive reaction. You can use words like tidy up, clean up, put in the basket, and pick up toys after tossing the toys and point into the box. If the toys are many for picking only reward after she/he has picked all toys and dropped into the basket. The Automatic dog bowl/feeder can be used to toss a treat in the box after your dog has dropped the toy inside as this fasten the process. Make it fun for your dog to enjoy, do not do it when your dog is tired or aggressive. Some dogs are fast to learn others take weeks hence do not be frustrated. Understand your dog and constantly try training when it wants to play or is relaxed. This simple training procedure will train your dog to keep the house clean and put toys away where they are required.
