What is a Dog Litter Box?
One of the biggest challenges for dog owners comes from training their canine companion. One of the most tedious training processes is housetraining, which means training your dog to eliminate waste in a designated area. While most dog owners teach their dogs to go outside, some prefer to litter box train. Litter box training a dog is similar to paper training, but offers a more permanent solution. A dog litter box and doggy litter are the only supplies needed for this endeavor. A dog litter box is a pan that holds dog litter, which is typically made of absorbent paper pellets. Both the litter box and the litter are available at most large pet supply retailers. A dog litter box will provide a potty solution for dog owners who live in an apartment or condo-style home, where yard space is sparse if available at all. Litter box training is most ideal for toy and small breed dogs, since larger breed dogs simply do not fit into the pans comfortably.
