The key to success when it comes to any sort of dog training is patience and consistency. Especially with puppies, it is very important to keep on a consistent schedule in order that they learn the routine of when they are going to be able to relieve themselves, and when they won't.
Usually a puppy will need to go to the lavatory about each hour, and possibly can't hold it in for at least three hours. They may also need to relieve themselves after drinking or eating, or getting a good dose of exercise.
When your little dog finishes doing its business, reward it immediately, before going back into your house. Puppies, and all dogs, reply very well to positive reinforcement, and this is the foundation of all dog training. But do make sure that your little dog is totally finished before you reward them, or they may become distracted and end up finishing within.
Using a crate to train your little dog is very effective and can make your job a lot less complicated. You do not want to leave your puppy in a crate for too long, but you'll have to utilize it any time you need to target something else for a bit. It is important that you don't let your puppy out of your sight when it is out of the crate.
When accidents do happen, it is crucial to clean up very thoroughly and to ensure that the smell is totally removed. Otherwise, your baby dog, whose nose is significantly more sensitive than your own, will associate that area with the hint of pee or feces, and may continue to treat it as a bathroom.
Dog training is a commitment of resources, but at last the more patience and consistency you can offer your puppy with, the better a dog you may end up with in the long run.
