Bathroom Breaks

One of the first – and usually most dramatic things, owner and DOG will run into quickly is the question of how to deal with her sanitary needs. Dogs are being walked, when the owner feels like it. In other words, the puppy depends on the owner, when it comes to being allowed to visit the toilet (if any) and that is usually felt as a huge invasion of privacy. Still, toilet training is one of the most important parts of the puppy role. So it requires attention.

One efficient way to do this is to swiftly and strictly deal with unwanted visits to the bathroom. The DOG MUST learn to control her bladder, hence if she “has to” when it is not her time yet, especially in the beginning that visit to the bathroom will be a humiliating one. Supervised bathroom visits, letting her sit their for a long time, disabling her ability to clean herself afterwards are all ways to make unwanted visits to the bathroom a punishment. The message: “you are a puppy and you will learn to relief yourself when allowed, not when you want/need it”

The other thing to do is to set specific times for when she CAN go (preferably also when not specifically in role). This will help her to train her latter control and mentally adjust to different timing. Be aware that you shouldn’t be too ambitious. In other words, don’t limit the number of visits to an unreasonably low number. Not only will this simply not work, it will also discourage her AND can be dangerous, especially if your sub has bladder-related problems or suffers from diabetes or kidney-related diseases.

Health and Safety

The female bladder is different – smaller – than the male bladder. In simple, straight forward terms: a woman has to relief herself more often than a man.

The female urinal system is relatively vulnerable to diseases (bladder and kidney infections for example). Plus, a bladder works like this. When full and not relieved, it will return incoming urine to the kidneys. This means extra pollution in – hence extra strain on – the kidneys. That is a serious health risk.

This is why, when toilet-training your dog, you should be considerate. As a rule of thumb, she should be allowed to relief herself once every four hours. Now that is not as easy as it sounds. Visiting the bathroom when you are allowed to is quite different from going there, when you have to. The body will adapt to that quite easily, but takes a little time. Eventually it will actually adjust to specific times and that in itself can be quite funny (“oh dear, i have to go, it must be four o’clock now”).

Puppy Toilets

Most owners will want to really walk their puppy and have her do her sanitary needs outside. Unfortunately, that is usually not really an option and also not always wise (especially in cold or windy conditions this may easily lead to bladder problems). So, you may want to look for alternatives.

A very efficient solution is to create a puppy toilet (just like many countries now have on various locations) with the help of a litter box. Simply find a bucket or container that is large enough and easy to use and fill it with normal litter box filling (maybe even hang the public “doggy toilet” sign above it, the one that many local governments will use on the streets as well) and teach her to use this, instead of the toilet.

Of course she has to learn to do this the proper way. Here are two important aspects:

Note: Only MALE dogs lift their leg. Bitches spread their hind legs and lower their behind a bit when urinating. This means you need a litter box that she can position in between the legs (in other words sit over it). Don’t try to let her sit IN the box or container. This will usually lead to a complete mess.

• She needs to be taught to cover her droppings, the way any dog does. It is a good idea to practice this with plain water, again in order to prevent a complete mess.

Signaling

Dogs have ways to tell their owners they need “to go”. Some bark, some scratch the door, some even will bring in the collar and leash. It actually is a good idea to teach your human dog a similar signal. If you want her to use this in a non-BDSM environment as well chose a simple hand signal for this, but it can be a lot of fun to see your human dog scratch the door in an effort to find relief for her bladder
