Dog training methods

[CombNWattles]

My family taught our dog to do his business in the woods or tall grass, away from the lawn. He does this on his own now, even in unfamiliar places.

When he was a puppy we carried him to the wood line whenever he needed to go, and rewarded him when he did his business. We got him in winter, so we were able to use a plowed path to direct him to the woods. At first we had to walk him to the wood line ourselves, but eventually he learned to take himself there. It was so worth it- we never pick up dog poop from the lawn!
