Puppy potty training does not come easy
especially during the first few months.
Potty training a puppy requires patience
and lots of commitments. Most puppies take
at least 6 months to be properly potty trained.
Unless you’re there to monitor your
puppy all day long, do expect to clean up
some accidents during these few months.
Because the puppy’s bladder control
is not fully developed at this stage, your
puppy is unable not hold it for too long
they will eliminate more frequently than
older dogs.
Steps For
Puppy Potty Training
Establish a Consistent Toilet Routine
For Your Puppy. Your puppy needs
to go to the toilet immediately after he
wakes up, after playing, eating, drinking
and before sleeping time. Make sure to take
your puppy to the chosen potty area as frequent
as possible (every 1-2 hour).
Establish A Consistent Feeding
Schedule. To make life and potty
training easier for both of you and your
puppy, do feed your puppy in a consistent
schedule so that he will eliminate in a
more consistent basis. This helps you to
determine when your puppy needs to go to
the toilet.
Pick A Toilet Spot For Your Puppy.
Always take your puppy to the chosen toilet
area on a leash. When accidents happen,
clean up the area well with a rag or paper
towels. Then, leave the rag or paper towels
at chosen toilet area so that your puppy
can smell the scent and recognize the area
as the place he is supposed to go next time.
Use warm and happy tone to praise your puppy
such as “Good Potty!” whenever
your puppy eliminates at the right area.
Praise, Praise and Praise Your
Puppy! When your puppy does eliminate
outdoors, immediately praise your puppy
profusely or gives him some dog treats as
a reward so that your puppy knows he has
done what you had expected him to do. Remember
to praise your puppy IMMEDIATELY, not when
he has return back inside the house.
Never Punish Your Puppy.
Whenever you find soiled areas in your house,
DO NOT punish your puppy, beating and scolding
your puppy will only do more harm than good.
Your puppy will avoid eliminating when you’re
around next time and this will only make
the potty training process more difficult.
When you catch him in the act, immediately
take him to the right spot so that he could
finish his business and praise “Good
Potty!” or “Good Boy!”
To prevent accidents, do take your puppy
out frequently.
