Puppy potty training is essential to the development of your brand new dog.
Training her properly is key to preventing her from using the bathroom around the house on furniture or outdoors anywhere she can.
Try these techniques and benefit from them.
1.
Puppy potty training should not be looked at as a burden.
It is not unpleasant, but rather, it is a crucial bonding period between owner and pet.
This will develop a happy and healthy relationship.
2.
Start the process of puppy potty training as soon as they get home from the pet store or wherever you got her from.
But keep in mind that they will not have full control of their bladder yet.
Their bladders will be small at that stage and they will be unable to hold it.
Be patient with them.
3.
Make sure that you feed your puppy the same times each day.
Routine is essential.
Do not feed with four hours of bedtime and withdraw the water bowl two hours before bedtime.
4.
Take your puppy out to the area where you want them to get used to relieving themselves first thing in the morning, 10- 15 minutes after every meal and drink and the last thing at night.
Do not play with them until they have used the bathroom.
5.
If after 10 minutes there is no action take the puppy back to its crate.
Wait 10 to 15 minutes then take them out again.
6.
After your puppy goes to the bathroom, make sure you reward her with a little play time.
This will encourage her to keep up the good behavior since she sees she is being rewarded.
7.
Restrict your puppy to rooms with washable floors until he is house trained.
