HOW TO POTTY TRAIN A PUPPY

When learning how to potty train a puppy it does not need to be a struggle. Potty training your puppy should start as soon as you bring your new addition home. If you follow some basic training tips, your puppy will be potty trained in no time.

A puppy is essentially a baby. It should not be punished when it has an accident ( you would not punish a baby for having an accident, would you!). Instead, you should focus on praising your puppy when he does the right thing. You should praise, praise, praise and try to keep away from punishments.

When learning how to potty train a puppy you should get to know the “signs” or the “look” that tells you your puppy needs to “go”. He may start running around in circles, scratching at the door or sniffing the floor. Just watch him for a while and you will get to recognise the signs.

As soon as your puppy starts showing these signs, bring him outside straight away. Stay close to him so you can see when he goes and give him lots of praise immediately. You need to praise him as he is going potty so that he knows he is doing the right thing. Try to use some commands when you bring him outside such as “go potty” or something similar so he will associate going outside with doing his business.

If your puppy is not responding to your training methods and is driving you to despair you can get help on training methods & video tutorials by clicking the link below.
