How Easy Potty Training Puppies Can Be
puppies isn’t as difficult as it sounds, a lot of people really do struggle with this however these for toilet training your puppy should help you on your way.
Although dog dirt is disgusting dogs are actually clean animals and they don’t like living in a dirty home. If your house door was open all the time your dog would probably go outside to do his business every time he needed to, this helps make potty training puppies all the more easier to do. However when your dog is in their puppy stage you need to teach them how not to go to toilet just anywhere in your home. Also you can’t leave your door open all the time!!
Using some puppy training pads to help with housebreaking your dog is a great way to get started in teaching your puppy to go to the toilet in a certain area. You would place the pad somewhere where you’re happy for your puppy to go toilet. The idea of the pads is to protect whatever’s underneath and to attract the puppy to the pad so don’t let any of that worry you. I’ve found that only after a few toilet breaks my puppy’s have always returned back again and again, just make sure you praise and reward them when they’ve finished (don’t distract them before or during always praise and reward afterwards). Also you’ll find that once the puppy has got used to the idea of where to go they’ll keep going back there.
Without these pads in place your puppy would just stop in its tracks and piddle wherever he stands which makes potty training puppies all the more difficult. If he gets into a habit of doing this potty training puppies will be all the more difficult, plus the addition of the scent he left the last time he went will only attract him to go again and again, randomly inside your home.
When you start to see that your puppy goes to the pad without any encouragement a few times a day without any accidents anywhere else then what I would do next is place the puppy training pads outside, near the doorway where you had it inside, and then show the puppy where the pad has been moved to, let them have a nosey of the change and if they squat and pee straight away praise and reward them for doing so after they’ve finished. Keep letting them outside and gradually over time they will develop a stronger bladder and they will start to get used to a routine at what time they can go to the toilet. You’ll almost be able to set your watch by them.
When you apply these potty training puppies techniques you should see consistent results in about 3 – 4 months however bear in mind these results will only start to show if you’ve been consistent in making sure you’ve given your puppy ample opportunity to go outside to go to the toilet on a regular basis throughout each and every day. It’s also a good idea to get begin as you mean to go on and organize a puppy training schedule for everything your doing with your dog. You could also explore crate training your dog.
One last thing to mention with regards to potty training puppies is that should your puppy have a little accident at one of their first puppy parties or puppy training classes, don’t worry as this is totally normal. They’re just probably nervous as they will have just entered a room full of lots of different doggy scents and sounds and this can be quite intimidating for anyone let alone your puppy.
Keep at your potty training puppies regime and stay consistent and you will see the results you desire. I hope you found these puppy training tips useful and I wish you all the luck with your potty training puppies crusade.
