Dog Potty Training Tips - How To Potty Train Your New Puppy
One of the first things you will want to teach your puppy from the minute you bring him home is to go potty outside.
The following video points out the 4 basic steps to potty train your puppy. With a little time and a lot of patience, you can teach your puppy to potty outside -- instead of inside the house!
The 4 steps mentioned in the video:
- Prevent the problem - never allow your puppy to potty inside. Always have proper supervision until your dog is old enough to tell you when he has to go outside.
- Encourage proper behavior - provide praise and rewards for going potting outside... every single time.
- Correct bad behavior - if caught in the act, give your puppy a firm NO and take him outside to finish.
- Have a schedule - have your puppy on a regular feeding and potty schedule. That way, he will start to get used to the times when he's expected to go outside.
If you are looking for another way to potty train your dog, try a dog litter box. This would work great for smaller dogs.
Great post!
Perhaps the other thing to note is that there will be a few accidents along the way, but if you keep up with the training and scheduled potty times, then it shouldn't be a stressful time for either the owner or the pup!
