How to Teach the "Get Busy Command" |
Just like with any other command, your goal is to associate the phrase, "Get busy," with the action of either defecating or urinating. Here's what to do in five easy steps: 1.) Take note of the usual times your dog needs to defecate or urinate. 2.) Take him to the usual spot where he likes to eliminate and walk him back and forth, repeating the phrase, "Get busy, get busy, get busy." 3.) When he begins to eliminate, continue saying, "Get busy." After five or six different occasions, your command will start to link with the behavior. 4.) A half second after he finishes, praise him. 5.) Repeat this process every time your dog needs to eliminate, and you'll soon find that he will begin to understand and at least make an attempt to evacuate the contents of his bladder on command. |
