More Potty Training Tips For Training Your Puppy

Potty training your puppy is not the best task in the world but it needs to be done, unless of course you are quite happy to be cleaning up all his little puddles that he leaves around the house. I dont think anyone would be happy doing this for ever so to avoid this then you should start potty training your puppy right from the moment he joins your family. Here are some tips to help you potty train your new puppy.

The first rule of potty training is to stay calm, friendly and do not smack your puppy or be aggressive with him when he does make little mistakes inside the house. This is your new family member and you will need to bond with him so dont let any unpleasantness with the potty training ruin your bonding. Little accidents in the house will only be for a short period so stay patient for this short period as it will be over soon.

The second rule of potty training is to be consistent. Try to get your puppy into a routine by feeding him at the same time every day. By having a routine with his feeding then this will help him get into a routine with his toilet eliminations also. With his evening feed make sure that you feed him three to four hours before bedtime so that he has time to digest the food and go to the toilet before going to bed for the night. Always let him outside to do his business before putting him to bed for the night.

The third rule of potty training is to keep your routine. You need to give him this same routine every day. Start the day off by taking him outside as soon as he wakes to do his business. Then after he has a feed in the morning, take him outside again as puppies will often need to go to the toilet after they have eaten or drank. Potty training your puppy is a little like toilet training a child and will be more effective when you stick to a routine.

The fourth rule of potty training is to give him lots of praise. Dogs love to make their owners happy and love receiving praise and pats so every time that your puppy gets it right, make sure you give him lots of praise. You can give him a good belly rub or some extra play time for getting it right. This will encourage him to get it right in the future.

Conclusion

Potty training isnt that bad and is only for a short time. Always be consistent and patient and your puppy is sure to catch on fairly quickly. You need to teach your puppy what it is that he should be doing and dont just expect him to know it. Give him lots of praise and when indoors if possible keep him in a hard floor area so that when he does have an accident it is easy to clean up.

Your puppy is your new family member and if trained correctly will give you lots of joy for years to come. To find out more about puppy and dog training visit Guide To Dog Training
