Puppy Training - How To Take The Work Out of Potty Training Your Pup!
Potty training your puppy will be the most important thing that you teach him. Showing your puppy that his potty is outdoors is something that should be indicated the minute you get him home. You will need to prepare yourself for a lot of waiting and watching; but with time and patience, you and your puppy will succeed at puppy training.
When you bring your puppy home, you should immediately show him the area where he is to choose his potty. You can hide the potty area from others’ view by putting a fence or plants in pots around the potty area. This also serves to distinguish the area as your puppy’s potty.
“Outside” will be quite an important puppy training command; therefore, this word should be one of the first that you make important to your new buddy. You should use the command “outside” firmly and loudly anytime that he has an accident inside. Then you must quickly get him outside to finish elimination in his potty area. Never forget to praise him for going; this is necessary even in the case of an accident. It reinforces that going “outside” is where he will be using the potty.
Puppy training on command will eventually be the result of your time and effort. Your command word must be maintained at all times. Inform friends and other family members of this word too.
It helps some people to keep a diary that records puppy training habits while still in the training process. This will give you a better idea of when your puppy performs all of his functions - sleeping, eating, and going potty. The diary helps to determine when the best times are to take puppy to his potty.
Keeping a diary if when your puppy eats, sleeps and potties can help you decide when the most average times are that he will need to poop or pee.
Never use punishment when potty training your puppy; for that matter, does not use punishment in any puppy training endeavor. Punishment only confuses and scares your dog. Then he will be likely to have more indoor accidents than before.
If you follow the mentioned tips, while maintaining routine, love, and firmness; just when you feel like he will never get it - puppy will surprise you one day in his potty training efforts. This will be the first time he asks to go outside to use his very own potty!
