Sandbox training is a potty training method indoors for certain breeds of dogs. Like cats, you can train dogs to use the litter box with a little positive reinforcement. Sandbox training is not a good idea for all dog breeds. Just like in outdoor training, you should take your dog to the litter box when he first wakes up, after eating and periodically during the day.
Watch it carefully for signs that it needs to go, such as snooping or circling, and quickly take it to the sandbox. Always praise immediately with enthusiasm if you go in the right place. As with any type of training at home, accidents can happen. Get ready with cleaning products and a generous amount of patience.
If you decide to train your large dog to use a litter box, make sure you have it set up and ready to use before you start training. You'd better choose a confined area inside your house that your dog can rely on anytime he needs to go. This means that the area must be kept clean and cannot change from day to day or week to week. Get ready for some potty training exercises and lots of rewards for getting to the sandbox and having no accidents around the house during training and while you're away from home.
