Top Tips On How To Potty Train A Puppy:

  • You need to first find a location to take your puppy for them to the bathroom.  This is of course best done outside in the grass.  Make certain that you always take your puppy to this same location as it will help them associate with going to the bathroom.
  • As soon as your puppy uses the bathroom make certain that you praise them for their good behavior.  It is also recommended that you reward them with a treat for their good behavior.  The puppy will quickly learn that going to the bathroom in the proper place will lead to praising and rewards.
  • Try your best not to get mad at your puppy if they go in the house.  Quickly tell them no and take them outside to their location designated for going to the bathroom.  Once they finish going to the bathroom outside make sure you praise them and reward them with a treat because they will again associate this location as the proper place to use the bathroom.  Cleaning up the accident your puppy made is not a difficult process as you can use simple white vinegar or other recommended commercial cleaning products to remove the odor and kill the germs.
  • When your puppy is in their younger stages it is critical that you take them out once every two to three hours to their designated bathroom location.  Remember, being consistent with your training will pay off in big ways for you.
  • Anytime your puppy awakes from sleeping make sure they are taken outside to their spot.  When puppies are in their sleeping state their bladders fill up quickly and once they wake up they need to use the bathroom.  This is especially important when they first wake up in the morning.
  • Another perfect time to take your puppy outside to use the bathroom is after they have eaten.  Many people do not realize that this is an important part in learning how to potty train a puppy.  So shortly after your new puppy finishes their meal, take them out to use the bathroom.
  • As your puppy is going to the bathroom use a keyword that you will always use when they are going.  For example you can say “Go to the bathroom” each time that they are going and your dog will quickly learn what you are referring to when you say that.
  • Finally, if you notice that your puppy is acting oddly inside the house such as walking around, sniffing or being wrestles make certain that you take them out right away as they have to go to the bathroom.
