Having a new puppy in the house is almost like having a new baby in the house. Training your new puppy where to potty will take time and patience.
Here’s a few suggestions for helping you out with puppy potty training.
Between two to three months old is the best time to begin puppy potty training your new pup because it will have better muscular control by then.
A schedule needs to be developed for when to take your puppy out to the potty area at least an hour each day. This way your puppy will know at what time each day is potty time. Keeping on this routine is quite helpful and your new puppy will understand much faster.
Only saying “No!” firmly to your puppy right when you see it going potty in the wrong area is quite important. There is no need for roughness or the puppy can start to fear you. Just say ‘No!’ and move the puppy to the appropriate area to go potty.
Always make sure to give your puppy treats and praises for doing a good job and going outside or to the appropriate place to go potty. Again, always make sure to praise him or her for doing a good job.
You can also take advantage of training pads to help in the whole puppy potty training process, especially if you live in a small area.
Not having a backyard in addition to having a busy day schedule that doesn’t permit you to take your puppy outside on a regular basis might make you want to consider using puppy crate training when you are out of the house. But if you get a puppy then you should be able to take your puppy outside at least 2-3 times a day.
Almost equally important is purchasing an odor and stain remover for puppies so that your puppy will not “find” that same spot again which tends to happen with regular cleaners. Removing the smell and stained area with these special removers prevents your from finding that area again. So now you should have a firm grasp on the fundamentals of puppy potty training.
