Potty Train Your Puppy In A Few Weeks

Potty train your puppy as soon as you can. Old habits will be hard to break. Puppies bring love and joy into a home. Bringing home a new puppy is almost like bringing home a new baby. It is exciting and so very cute. You want to spend every minute with it. Treat your new puppy with the same love you would with a new baby.

A new puppy will bring joy into a home. But they do often have little habits that are not too thrilling. Being unable to go potty outside will take some work. Puppies are not potty trained from birth. And it is not a something that they develop on their own either. It needs to be trained. They do not know that peeing inside the house is wrong. Cats are born knowing how to use a litter box. Puppies are not.

Begin by sticking to a regular schedule. If a puppy has irregular patterns with sleeping, eating, then his excreting patterns will be harder to fix. Make sure he sleeps at the same time and wakes up around the same time. There needs to be a routine that is developed. The more regular his schedule is, the more faster his potty training will be conquered.

When your puppy starts to urinate inside of the house, tell him, “No!” Tell him firmly, but never yell. Yelling at the puppy will make him feel bad and resent you. You do not want your puppy to be scared of you. You want him to feel the same love and affection you towards him.

Stopping what he is doing and starting to sniff around can be an indication that he is searching for a place to go. At this point, tell him, “No!” Tell him in a firm voice. Be careful not to yell. Do not spank him either. Carefully carry him outside and allow him to do his business outside. Continuing this routine will develop a regular routine until he starts doing it on his own.

Potty training should take no more than two or three weeks. If it proceeds longer, talk to your obedience instructor or veterinarian. See what else you can do to help your puppy on his way to being house broken.

It is vital that your puppy knows when he is doing good. When he starts doing his business outside, reward him. Praise him or give him an extra doggy treat. A positive feedback will lead to greater results. He will know that he is doing something good.
