Facts About Puppy Potty Training

By Sandy Rutherforde


In the event that you have just added a puppy to your family, you will definitely want to make puppy potty training a high priority. Your home can quickly turn into quite a mess if you do not teach your puppy correctly. When you decide to move forward with puppy potty training, you might plan to take a couple of weeks off so that you can have continuous time with your new puppy. If you don't, it could take you a good deal longer to train your pet.

Much like people, dogs learn new abilities at different rates. It could take awhile for your puppy to acquire a firm idea of where to go potty and exactly where to avoid it. It'll require your puppy some time to get the picture that it's undesirable to utilize any area of the house for a bathroom.

When puppies are young, they'll need to go to the bathroom often, maybe even every single hour. You should anticipate many accidents after you first bring your puppy home. Never get angry because your new dog does not understand what he is doing wrong. Be consistent and use one or two word commands every single time. This will help your puppy potty training go faster and far more efficiently.

When you wish to train your dog fast, you'll need to pay close attention to him. There will be clues that arise when your pet needs to go to the bathroom. He may perhaps get restless, smell the floor, and nose around a spot in which he went to the bathroom earlier. If your pet has recently eaten, or taken a nap, odds are he'll have to relieve himself shortly. Whenever you take your pet outdoors to go to the bathroom, take him to the very same place each and every time. Do not start any play. This might confuse him about what the intention of the outdoors visit might really be. As soon as your dog does potty outside, praise him using plenty of enthusiasm. You may wish to keep small treats readily available to reinforce the good behavior also.

While you are inside, you'll want to maintain an eye on your new puppy while he is potty training. Do not allow him to have opportunities to fail by utilizing some area of your home as the bathroom. You may really need to keep him in a smaller location for the time being and follow him around when you let him wander further.

In the event you do need to leave your pet, you will wish to put him inside a kennel. Another great strategy is a fenced yard outside when the weather is nice. Be certain the new puppy is not in a kennel any longer than a couple of hours at any given time when they are getting trained.
