All About Training Coton de Tulear Dogs and Puppies
Coton de Tulears, being members of the Bichon (or should we say "pees-on") group of dogs, can be a bit of a challenge to house train. If you are considering taking on a Coton de Tulear puppy or adult dog, be sure to learn as much as you can about the process of housebreaking your dog or puppy before you adopt. The first weeks of training are crucial with this breed; accidents or mixed messages can result in problems.
Some experts recommend crate training as a means to keep "accidents" at bay. A responsible Coton de Tulear breeder will be an excellent source of advice and support in this area, and may even begin the process of puppy housebreaking before you take your Coton puppy home.
Cotons respond very well to praise and consistency. Pay attention to your puppy and her bathroom needs. Feed and water on a regular schedule, and praise her to the moon when she does her thing when and where she is supposed to, and you should have a housebroken Coton puppy in no time.
One thing to keep in mind is that these dogs are so sweet and companionable, that it's easy to overlook the occasional accident. Scolding doesn't work, so it's best to simply clean up the mess extremely well (residual pee scents tend to attract more pee!) and be extra vigilant about making sure the next time round your dog goes where she is supposed to.
